Hope you can make the Great Bend event, this fall! I went last fall, didn't get to talk to you. I met you at Tulsa, I believe the last time Steve Hoog attended and was alive, I think he passed shortly after...
The words in post 17 bother me...seeing moisture in aluminum blocks/headed engines??? Every time I've heard something similar, it was another problem...just my experience...

I have no idea why it leaked compression...gasket had a great impression and O-rings looked fine and the straight edge shows no warpage. Will do a pressure test before they are used again.
I will be at Great Bend again...I will smash that 9.56 I ran last year...
As far as moisture...that bothered me as well but I am not an engine builder and this is my first experience with all aluminum anything...
