ok, there might be a problem with my rb s5 with the lg2 head well i got in broken in by a engine guy last year and this is my second season.

running, it i dont run every weekend im on my second gallon and it has enough "compression" it has lost its "tight pinch" on it but i still has enough pinch though i just checked it out today and it has a tick of play on the crankshaft already.

and, when i took my cooling head off and turned the flywheel where the "piston is up" i notice back and forth play im guessing that the bushing in the rod is shot already i dont feel it with the cooling head and the glow plug in though.

and also when i move the flywheel it feels easy to turn the piston up ?

it will tune still but not easy though.

im running 20% race blead ebmods fuel.

i never ran it to lean there was always a good amount of smoke
