    Going thru this thread again, I think you have already shown us the problem.

    The pistons and rings in your white Ebay motor are scored. The motor will never be able to develop its designed horsepower in that condition. Pistons, rings and cylinder walls should be smooth with no grooves or scoring for the rings to seal correctly. Bottom line, the motor is tired and needs attention.
