Hey everyone.

I am not a stranger to a wrench or ratchet but this one has me stumped. I changed the head gaskets and then all gaskets on the way back up plug wires plugs cap rotor all that good jazz and now i can start it but sounds like no compression once i do get it running runs rough not even enough power to turn the tires 1998 dodge ram 5.2 auto i have done all the preliminaries such as vac lines and all just getting really bad idle almost shuts down when i hit the throttle of put it in gear any suggestions? Ran fine when i shut it down for the head gasket
