Well said

Here I got an idea, take it down to short block. Walk over to the trash and drop it. Zen short blocks are cheap enough, amd you will know where you stand with it. That cylinder ate something. doesn't matter if you can see it in the ports or not. My guess from the shape would be the location pin in the piston. Either way, I'd just replace it or get a new top end and bearings and seals and start over. I think you've been had by the previous owner. If it's a recent purchase I'd found the guy to make it right, or at least give you some money back to cover a top end kit.

Yeah he's on a roll??

Its a new performance mod. You shoot the dome with birdshot.??? Bin it, that goose is cooked and engines are cheap. Could probably even get a good used one from these forums.

Just chuck it and get a Zen G290
Reliable and much less hassle in the long run
