Lower compression when hot?

[QUOTE="KX_OUTLAW, post: 1383272, member: 119129"] I have a KX85 with a 100 big bore/port kit. The first cylinder I put on it got externally damaged so I ordered one with the same specs. With the 1st cly it had a gallon of fuel run through it, I just took a cold comp test before pulling it, it was 180 psi. The replacement cyl was done to the same spec, and I measured everything also, used the same head, same piston, new rings, new oem gaskets. 1st cly I broke in as recommended which was just warm it up, take it easy up to 3rd, don't go wot for about 30 minutes, let it cool and it's done. When I took that apart there were about five .125(inch) wide lines that wore the cross hatch off, the piston looked new. The new cylinder I broke it in using this method: Now it has about a gallon of gas run through it, it's always had more of a ping sound to the pipe (the normal 2 stroke sound), and it runs stronger. Only thing is it has about 150 psi hot with 10 kicks, maybe 165 cold. Same oil, same cold temp. Normally I wouldn't have even checked since it runs so good, but I read to much I think. Nothing to worry about? [/QUOTE]
