I would like the experts opinion on this.It locked up just after it planned off.He filled up the tank at a different place.87oct.ngk plugs,not Johnson oil,5000 rpm very maximum[set up this way by the dealer]It did`nt smoke at all that day,no bells went off,water coming out of tell-tale hole,water pressure gauge good.Mech,put fuel pump on a few days before[why,I don`t know]He went back to the mech.he said the OIS caused the problem.I took one head off,the cylinders have a few small scratches,but not bad.I don`t know how the pistons are.I don`t see any scuffing on the cyl.walls.The mechanic is not the dealer.There is plenty of oil in the cyl.Before I work on it,I would like to know what caused this.I think it was the gasl or the low rpm or both
