Hey everyone.
So today I made a trip out of town to a track. I should have left well enough alone but I thought I would try some tuning. The truck ran for a total of five minutes before it burbled and shut off. The EZ Start wouldn't get it going again.
After getting home I pulled the head to find the piston stuck at TDC. After using a 5/8 dowel to free it up I put it back together and the starter spun for a sec then locked again. It looks like the sleeve and piston are now best buds.
After pulling the head again it looks like the sleeve is wanting to come out with the piston. Now it's above the deck by about a 1/16th.
I have a feeling TRX5290 is in order?
