Re: update on my engine issues...
What I ment was, I would have thought you would have checked piston to deck height when it was apart, after I had suggested a possible bent rod. Even though it isn't bent, you would have found it last time it was apart if you had checked.chris c wrote:it is a NEW rod. zero mileage engine, it is not bent.

i would have NEVER expected the rod to be incorrect, i had the rod/piston out and it was fine.
oh well, i should be up and running soon.
