Sorry, you lost me... what's the problem?

Sounds like you can't get the heads back on... but I can't tell why not. Only "compressing" that I can think of would be for the valve springs.

Oh...

Nah you don't need anything special. Just a new gasket and a torque wrench.

I think new head bolts are recomended also.

You can get away with reusing the old head bolts, but if one stretches and pops a gasket, it will cost the same to repair as buying ARPs and not worrying about it.

Remember, there is not a left and right head but there is a left and right head gasket!
