Engines started running funny and would not idle right. I leaked her down and sure enough, it's at the case. I was suspicious of this one spot on the bottom of the case. Ever sense I bought the thing it has had some sort of hard sealant on the case where they come together. Big red flag right! I missed seeing the stuff at purchase but it's blown good every time so I forgot about it. Now it just bit me. Guess I'll pull her out a.s.a.p. and fix it right. I'm going through withdrawals.
 
glad you caught it before you fried anything

Well, I think I hurt the piston already. Took the top end off and it looks like it just started to seize. I never felt it seizing but it looks like it. All the coating is completely gone off my Wossner big bore piston and theirs scratches on it and the cylinder. Gonna measure tolerance a.s.a.p. I'm down to my last bore though. I can only go 73mm then I must resleeve. That's a bummer but it is what it is.
