Just wondering if it's possible to put a B3 head gasket on backwards?? Just had my head redone after having low compression on adjacent cylinders and now it seems to have a TON of valve train noise. I poured oil over the cam and lifters before installing the valve cover and spun the engine over for a good while without fuel to build up oil pressure before starting the engine. Maybe I put the head gasket on incorrectly and blocked the oil ports? I have not pulled the valve cover off yet to visually check for oiling and have only ran it for 5-10 minutes. Thanks for any advice!!!

Probably the hydraulic lifters still filling up with oil. It can take a while after they drain.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
