Thanks for the suggestions guys.. Last Thursday night I finally did a leak down test. I used a 100psi for my input source. I had a 10% loss in 2 cylinders, 4% loss in a cylinder and the #2 cylinder was the worst at 25% loss. That would clearly explain why the dipstick is shooting out. I want to re-ring it but I wish I could do something else while I was in there like changing the puny 2g rods. Nobody seems to make an aftermarket rod for the stock pistons though. Any rod I've seen is for a floating type wrist pin. Can't afford a complete rebuilt of a 6 bolt anytime soon. Was hoping to just change the 2g rods for added insurance.
