    Compression is normal in the cylinder. He is locating a 3.8 pulley for his hub. if its still doing it I am calling out the wrist pin.

    With a larger pulley..it's still going to do it. What has likely occurred is what we said. Piston landing chipped, rings are still holding the right pressure and you have pieces beating the plugs to death or it's getting blown off. Either way..you have internal issues and its super unlikely to be a wrist pin. Very.

    Boost has spoken (again)

    No..I don't want questions or debate...I have spoken.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
