Well, I've been chasing an engine noise for the last 5000 miles and finally figured it was time to do something about it. Took it down to JimK and, among other things, they ran a compression check that showed only 30lbs in #3 cylinder. A couple of squirts of oil brought it up to 60lbs. Their conclusion is that it's a bad piston or a broken ring and the fix is to pull the engine and rebuild it or replace it.

So I'm reluctantly in the market for a rebuilt engine. I know a couple of folks have installed engines from S and J in Spokane recently and seem happy with the experience. Does anyone have any long-term experience with S and J? Any bad experiences? Any other recommendations.
