[QUOTE="an, post: 656661, member: 45665"] Jasle, I did not gap the rings, I figured if they were new they would be right. I also was worried about the thin plating so I took the cylinder to a local shop to have it honed. He barely touched it, once in and out. Would the nick you spoke of be fairly obvious to the naked eye? In answer to your other questions, I did have the throttle wide open when checking the compression, and Ive checked it several times with different gauges. I will try some oil in the cylinder, how much would you suggest? Also I have ordered new rings and gaskets, so I can give it another try if all else fails. As you've probably figured out by now, I'm not much of a mechanic ( this was my first top end attempt), so I really appreciate your reply. Thanks An [/QUOTE]
