[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 10695693, member: 11681"] For whatever reason(s) the left side seems to be the first side to have problems. We all assumed it was heat related and I have yet to see that debunked. Over heated guides will eventually degrade your exhaust valve seal to the seat. [B][SIZE="3"][COLOR="Red"]So it could be valves.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] Over heated or detonation damaged pistons(which will also rapidly become over heated) will grow out into the walls, ring end gaps disappear, ring ends butt, rings push out contact the walls, begin to drag on the walls or seize and bend or rip out the top ring and land. [B][SIZE="3"][COLOR="red"]Or it could be pistons.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] It [B][COLOR="red"]could also be cam timing[/COLOR][/B] but that does not appear out of no where like this other stuff does. [B]This post:[/B] If the compression come up after adding a little oil it is most likely hurt pistons. If it does NOT, then it is most likely guide/head/valve related. [/QUOTE]
