If not is there any other possible solutions or suggestions someone may have and or any other reasons it may be caused by.
A really bad crash can do mall kinds of unseeable damage.
Possibly a crack in the fuel tank?
Also might want to check the rod and crank (mainly the pin for the rod on the crank) and see if there's any stress there. Stress there could have altered your compression ratio.
