Latest Update...
#6 pistons has a whole in it about the size of a 50 cent piece...all the other pistons are also "hot"...this was due to fuel starvation...fuel pressure never dropped but supposedly if there is an "air pocket" in the fuel system it will still show pressure...looks like 8 pistons, rings and a hone and we'll be back in business...in the mean time i'm putting my old low compression vortech headed motor back together and trying to hunt down some kind of issue between the fuel cell and carb...anyone have any good items for finding some sort of vacuum leak in my lines?...i'd like to find a bad line or fitting somewhere, if not this is all still a mystery and could potentially face the same issues with the back up motor...
