I recieved an E-mail from Jody about my engine tonight 06-24-09. I will give a brief overview of what that e-mail stated.

1) The ring was worn. Less than .075" in some places ( .085" new ).

2) The cylinder was worn more that expected and a small area between the boost ports has poor machining and a little chrome chipped off.

3) The engine appeared to have been worked on before in the bottom end, both bearings are spinning in the crankcase and some parts are not OEM.

I called and spoke with Jody personally and assured him this engine has never been worked on until the low compression issue came about. He said this was one of the first shipments of DL's they got. We both were puzzled about this, but it dosen't have anything to do with low compression. I asked that he fix the engine since he already has it and has the expertise to do it correctly. We agreed on a price ( some was covered by warranty issues) and I was very happy with the out come. I want to say thanks again to Jody at valley view rc for his help.
