i´m starting to suspect this is two seprate issues, because, the heads/valve is in perfect condition, went today to pro-shop here in heads and engin parts, and they took allt valves out and found nothing wrong, so i´m starting to wonder , what can it be, can it be the lifters, i can´t see nothing wrong whith them, can they the issue , though i can not see nothing on them, how can i test that???

when i took the flycut in the pistons we did change all the piston rings and we honed the cylenders. so it´s very sad if the air i going down.....

this looked at first to be a small thing, but i lookes now like it is something big... big.....problem....
