course, if it is bad enough, on certain cars, the engine needs a certain amount of compression to start... as do all cars.

i did say it wouldn't start, but i was thinking more of the compression part of it. after a minute it won't enough.
if your head gaskets are so badly blown that your car won't start then they have exhibited systems for a very long time. I have as of yet to see a car be that far gone that wasn't owned by someone on the southside.
