ok so i replaced my camshafts yestrday, i got ahold of a 1.8 head from a junkyard so i put both 1.8 cams in my 2.0 head ( i dnt knw if it makes a difference) but after having compression the prior day it seems i lost compression in all cylinders



now my question is that i reused my stock headbolts could they have stretched and air is leaking through the head gasket?



im buying new headbolts anyway because i shouldnt have tried to cut corners but im just curious on your guys opinions

I re-used my head bolts when i did my cam swap I have no problems at all make sure its stamped with a j2 - and if it is your timing is prolly off a notch. check back

Cylinder head bolts may be reused without limitation, per Hyundai. ^ what he said. I made a DIY for setting the timing, it's around here somewhere . . .

Yea I used the DIY for timing got the 5 links between intake and exhaust cams, cam gear is lined up and crank is at top dead center.



I torqued the bolts to the right foot lbs then did the 60 degrees and after the leakdown test and compression test got nothing



Should I torque em more?

give me a picture and i used only 10lbs of torque for mine.. either you have the wrong cam or its off timing.. its a easy mod so i would suggest taking it off and looking again.
