Yeah? Could have weakened/cracked some rings and all it took was another romp on it to do the rest of the damage.padro04 wrote:rember. no nos was running at that time.

The fact that the plug got that damaged, there has to be some serious piston damage going on.kompressorgolf wrote:ESPECIALLY if you had a peice of electrode bouncin around in there for a second or two.....

Re: Misfire
Yeah, it's amazing how much damage a tiny piece of metal can do. If a valve closed on it for example, you could easily bend it.MikeWire wrote:Or possibly hit and/or broke a valve(s).Roadhog wrote:The fact that the plug got that damaged, there has to be some serious piston damage going on.kompressorgolf wrote:ESPECIALLY if you had a peice of electrode bouncin around in there for a second or two.....

Re: Misfire
i have had a chance yet to look at the valves or diage them im goin fill the clyander with air an see which valve is leaking air. as i go though each valve to see if the exhaust one leaks or the intake one. an if its a ring the only way to find that one is to drop a piston. yay not lol. when we bored scooped it the top of the pistion is good an the walls look good still.

Re: Misfire
I hope it's something minor, but it's not sounding good. Mike is right, start with a compression test, and then take that POS bottle to your nearest gun range and end it before it causes you more trouble.

Re: Misfire
Filling the cylinder with air is a redneck compression test - get a real compression tester, with a gauge. You work at an auto parts store right?
