Isn't that how everyone lowers their compression?
Doubt touching them up with a wire wheel lowered it at all. If id did it would be very very minute.

How the hell did you fit a 4" grinder into the corners? Bring the pistons to TDC before hitting them with the wire wheel?
You might be surprised...you would lose approximately two to three tenths of a point per 0.005".
Got the valves out of the head today, I can see a tiny crack between most of the exhaust and intake valves. Also down in the seating area it looks like some there too. Its going to the machine shop on Monday to have things checked out. Cross your fingers!
Isn't that how everyone gets metal shavings into their engine?
Fixed it for you :lolly:
haha, no metal shavings here. like at all... It has me a little confused cause there was quite a bit of material missing from that one bearing, thought I would have seen something in the oil by now. Its getting new bearings anyways. just another reason it was a good idea to yank the motor.

Holy toasted bearing Batman !!! You are a lucky man that did not spin. How does the crank look?
what injectors will you use
How many miles are on that motor, and how many did you put on vs previous owner? Do you know if the oil was changed regularly by the previous owner(s), or where the truck was driven and what it was used for?
Nothing like scoring your walls with piston shavings.

You ever cut the filter open? That's where the evidence will start forming...
Oil analysis would be another way you might have caught it earlier...
Even with an earlier warning there isn't much to do except open up the motor and figure out what is wrong anyway.
