so if it has bad compression you're going to tell me that the head my not be fucked, true if the head needs to be resurfaced because it's warped then yes it might have bad compression, also my head bolts are about 200,000 miles and they still don't give me a problem where i need to replace them, maybe if you got them mixed up and put them in the wrong place, well pm me the lowest you'll take on the whole set up or just the head and ls vtec kit, lmk i am interested
