No really.. maybe you dont have the head tighten or did you forget to put a bottom end gasket in it when you took it off to do the rings? there is alot it could be.

nope when i rebuilt it i got the gasket set and i know that i put them on when i did the rings. my wuestion is what should i check first? Yes the bolts on the head are tight no visual leaks anywhere thogh it would probly not be leaking anything to see it but air.
