Engine: 1.8 1974.

I tore down the engine to replace Dead gaskets and seals.

Purchased new jugs and pistons reassembled the engine. Fired it up and have 90 lbs of compression on 3-4 125 on 1-2.

Completed a leak down test and all is good as it is holding what compression there is...

Tore the engine down again and measured the cc of the heads and they are all the same. Part number 021.101.371S on both heads.

Measured the deck height of the pistons at TDC and they are all the same....

Head gasket shims are all the same.

What am I missing???

Thanks Jammer!

Just a thought.... Is the cam timing correct ? Good leakdown, different compression side to side.... Cams not timed properly
Again, just a thought.
