Check the wristpin clip scenario like Matt says. If thats not it, something has gone wrong or something has been done wrong for it to loose it's pinch that quick. We are not kidding when we say these engines are super tight. If you pardon the pun, you may have a sick puppy on your hands Mr Sick puppy
LOL, Wouldn't that be par for the course. the 1st one I had was mfg with no shims on it at all! I didn't take it apart when it was new, so you can imagine how long that lasted, but RaceFActor, while slow to act, did replace it no charge...I took this one apart to seal it since I was having tuning issues and looked at the sleeve and piston and all looked OK. Didn't do a visual on wrist pin clips, but the sleeve looked smooth as butta. That was a few tanks ago. Been using Byrons 30% w/11% oil. Will disassemble it this eve to do a more thorough inspection.
