Burt came through with a new piston! Problem solved for that cylinder. Thanks for the help guys!
Different problem for cylinder #2 – heavy scoring – If that cylinder tests really low for compression, I may have to go oversize!
Haven’t seen any oversize pistons listed for that engine. Going to 40hp pistons would be a .125 increase in bore size.
That would be scary.
Waiting on new rod bolts, so I can button it up and do the compression check – fingers crossed.
