It started to sound like a fouled plug. Changed plugs. Checked gapping. Sled still sounded fouled. Drove it out. Pulled 7800-8200 sounding like garbage. Did a compression test pulled 95 psi both cylinders. Sent off to chris at parkland for fix kit. Ill let everyone know outcome. Stage 3 slp going on to after rebuild.

Did the power feel right before you checked compression? I'm just curious now because of the frequence of which guys are replacing engines around 2000kms. I've got 3500+ on mine without incident. I'm going to check my compression today, maybe I shouldn't...lol... Did you pull yours apart to inspect yourself or just send the short block away?

did you happen to measure youre pistone to cylinder clearance when you puled it apart? i pulled mine apart to check it before i put the turbo on, clearance was about par for the course at .007" put new rings on it and had 105 compression... but im fighting a bog with the turbo, so....????

Measure your piston at the crown and near the bottom of the skirt.(Assaultrmk). Your piston may have too much clearance at the skirt causing the scuffing which can also crack the cylinder skirt.

Kk got my new pistons today & they say my pistons are just normal wear & at 2000 miles is when they recommend checking pistons so I guess 1600 miles isn't that bad but I will measure
That tonight!! Thanx

Any idea what the compression should be with the stock head? Cold?, Warm?

125-130 psi (cold )with stock head , and depending on your guage and elevation ...just checked my 12' pro 800 today after reading all these posts with motors starting to pop . 2700km on my machine and it Has 120 in each cylinder and still runs great!

Just to cap what was all a matter with my pro. Top end was damaged a little bit. Fixed with pms fix kit. The high rebs came from the crank seal and pto bearing gone on my crank. Chrisco at parkland fixed her with a refurbished mono block. New crank. New top end. Then the stage 3 slp kit i planned putting on. Team tied seconday and mds weights. Took it to valemount and it hauled ass. The only problem was the mds weights didnt have enough weight on them so it had a mid and high range bog. After that was fixed I have not been more impressed in a sled then this one. So ladies and gents fix your top end properly before she goes ka pout.

Along with a par 12.5 head and pink exhaust valve springs. And more that I probably cannot remeber at this time.
