Jim, the FA-100 was the first with the new style cam box, and the FA-125 and FA-220 are similar. But the FA-82a for one example, was introduced after the FA-100 and it still has the...

Forgot to mention one thing many don't check - the valve clearance. If you've never reset them that could also be part of your difficulty.

From the color of the ring face it's a pretty low time engine, you may have been well advised to leave the piston in the cylinder. Regardless, since it shows little to no wear I'd put it...

When you send your email address please include your RCU name - otherwise it can be really difficult to know where to put the address in the file, if not impossible.
