So far so good. You need to get that piston out and see what's up.
Great photos, reminds me I need to tear down the rest of mine too.<br>

<div>I can't say there was any thing wrong with
intake gasket sealing.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>4126 shows I got lucky on my patch/fix job
as the all thread jammed lifters. Both lifters
push rod cup was laying in the valley along
with one broken retainer clip etc. ( how the
one cup got out of there and it's clip still
in the lifter I don't know )</div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is no hole in the piston.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I see nothing wrong with the valve guide
seals.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So there must be a ring problem.</div>
