Wow, Dave Kennedy from SPG9....Its been a long time. Glad to hear you are still on the chat rooms.
I've got the 2.1L head and the cam grind that your boys put together for me. I just have a feeling that the engine shop that re-bored my block screwed something up because one of the pistons has low compression and blowby is awful.
Pulling the head off to see what kind of damage exists.
The engine was bored already to .005 so I will need to go to 0.010 if I want to try to reuse my block. Maybe I just have a broken ring. I am running '85 8V Turbo pistons because they were the lowest compression for the boost I wanted to run, but nowadays, I prefer quicker response and am planning on going back to the 10:1 design even if I cant run as much boost.
