oic then i dunno dude, maybe just weak ringlands. hell yea post pix of the setup i always like boosted toyotas and they are few and far between. forged 8.5:1 pistons and rods should shore up the bottom end alot. sorry about the #3 cyl good luck on it!

You got that right Rolla.
I'm going on vacation tomorrow
When I get back I'm going to put another head on it and see what happens.
And my new car is on the way.
I'm gonna go Jan-Style on this one after the head install.

Lets not forget guyys... we are running Honda's. He's running a Toyota Corolla. Different motors act different ways to boost.

Has anyone here ever heard of stacking head gaskets in order to lower compression? Just covering all my bases...

Hey Rolla, have you checked the plugs for any signs of detonation? Another thing to look at, depending on boost levels, is the ring gap. If you are running a lot of boost, then the end gap needs to be increased to prevent butting, which will crack the ring lands. I would like to see what that #3 piston looks like.

#3 cylinder always runs hotter anyway. Pull the plugs check them. Then pull the head and look at your pistons.
