GOT A 86 2.4 200 CHROME BORE,Been runnin 150-155+lbs comp. bought the longblock 2 yrs ago used. run o/b jet so it hasnt seen over 6000 rpms since we got it, but does see WOT for extended periods.galded skirt on #5 hole,run pennz syn oil 32:1, 93 oct fuel. am goin to check carb for trash in main jet, check cyl for out of round,clean what little bit of alum there is out of cyl,replace that piston,re-ring rest of holes(comp consistently down 10-15lbs on all holes) put new bearings in bottom end,put on set of looser heads(get comp down to 135-140). and go like hell again!!i am thinkin this was just due to normal high comp, maybe a little bad gas, RAN THE **** OUT IT wear and tear, if everthing else checks out.any other thoughts on this, i am wide open for ideas if ive missed something. Thanks Guys
