Starting on the tear-down by pulling the plugs, and its looking like #2 ran lean till it fried. Would guess a partially plugged injector.

Plug is stuck in the head, cannot get it to come out.
Coil plug boot was partially stuck/melted to the plug.

The engine still ran, so hopefully no damage that makes the core non-rebuildable. Have a lot going on now so may not get the engine pulled and apart till spring. Thinking this rebuild may take a while due to life interfering with fun.

regards,

Silber
