loss of compression 300Promax
Rebilt and now lost compression after 150 hours . 100-105psi. 95RON gas and QS Premium Plus oil used only. starting ok, but low idle (500-550 no stable) and only 5000-5200wot.
does the reason for trolling? 25-30 hours on trolling.

new 6 pistons (0,02ower), rings, 1 rod (all WSM), all head gaskets. Oil eating good (oil pump had no problem in my opinion, eat 1 gallon on 1 50gall tank of gas)
first 6-7 hours break in with oil 1/25 in fuel tankLast edited by Tranq; 08-25-2019 at 09:00 AM.

didnt check compression after break in, but worked good and strong. but recently (10-15hours) was starting troubles, loose speed and rpm and i checked compression.
i think because I caught pikes trolling on a racing motor long, my master said that this engine is not intended to work idle for a long time. in Russia, no one has the wholesale operation of these motors, only 250EFI was a lot

Well sumtime the hone will work , but most times ,once you do a hone the clearances r at the max end of the specs ( to much clearance) , I did a wsm rebuild bout 45ish hrs on it with same compression,, (knock on wood) gonna need to measure all the bores and c what u got

U can ton of $ imo waste $ if block/cyl ain't messed up bad , if in good shape just little to much clearance I'd bore and rehone, tear down and send it to known good machinist, get plenty references ,,he will tell u what needs b done after he measures bores
