finally took the block apart, and checked the pistons out. no real damage visible to the sleeves aside from scuffing.

so to recap:
250,000+km, 8psi, barely intercooled, 89 pump gas, 12.5-13afr.

enjoy.

still, the strange thing is that only one cylinder lost all compression. the rest were all fine. (180-180-0-178 or something like that)

probably lots of smoke... I think I had a headgasket issue too, even though it looked fine. lots of white smoke, but only occasionally.

blowby was extreme out of the valve cover..

don't know if I was smoking hard or anything... I'll get a picture of the downpipe so you'll know what I'm talking about.
