[QUOTE="KaTooMer, post: 464387, member: 16246"] Here's a lesson on how multiple problems can lead you in the wrong direction. When I tore down the engine, I saw that the right-side radiator had been pushed back into the fat part of the pipe, enough that one of the metal hose connectors (bottom of radiator) was kinked. So there's where the coolant was leaking. The lack of compression was from rings that were worn just a [I]little [/I] bit past their tolerances - gap was about .09" (and up to that point, the engine actually [I]ran[/I], well enough place in the top 20 of a Missouri hare scramble). The Wiseco top end only lasted about 40 hours...must have ridden it harder this year. Anyway, a new top end got me back in business. [/QUOTE]
