BeaterX stays true to its name!

Compression test the other night: 70 135 140 145
booo!
I put a cap of oil into cyl #1 and it brought compression up to 140. Gah, sounds like bottom-end problems

I borrowed Ron @ RS' boroscope today (thanks agian Ron!) and it confirmed, 4b11's are DSM's too! LOL. The pics are fuzzy but I'll have better ones whenever I get the head off. Not sure on schedule or parts spec yet, but rebuild is def in order.

Vertical scoring




Something ucky going on with part of the piston/ring land:


I'll post real pics once the head comes off and the parts start coming in.
ps--for those keeping track: yes I uber-broke two evos in one year. Yeow.
