well i noticed that after i replaced my head gasket, the car is harder to start for some reason, but fires right up, takes about 4 seconds to crank in which before HG replacement it used to be at least 2 and a half seconds
car hard to start?
- Thread starter modmonster2008
- Start date
I don't get it. Does it fire right up? Or you you have to crank the engine for 4 seconds before it fires up?
no re-torque yet, just curious as to why it takes longer to start the car after the head gasket replacement

If you didn't re-torque then it may not be sealed. Suppose to re-torque after about 5-8 heat cycles. Low compression may cause the harder starting. What did you torque the head too?
Did you check/replace the vac hoses?
