sometimes, it's even difficult for me to determine a method to my madness. if you took at peak at my previous threads, you'd probably get a better understanding. the muffler purchase was actually to solve another issue as opposed to just an "upgrade." anyhow...for those that were interested (geez, this was a long time ago), the problem was solved. i believe i started another thread...but in short...my motor was bad. i dropped 2 valves (more than likely caused by a mis-shift), which destroyed the piston & liner in that particular cylinder. lesson learned....BE CAREFUL SHIFTING AT HIGHWAY (high rate would be a better term) SPEEDS.
