    Yes that's a different cylinder which has no leaks. The one that's black inside is the one that has no o ring or graphite here is the pic Screenshot_20231216-213938.png

    if the injector bolt was loose i don't see anything wrong with cup more than likely you're dealing with a blown head gasket

    PXL_20231219_235226573.jpg Just an update cup on cylinder 5 was bad I pressure tested it and it was blowing air through it. Took the head off had it pressure tested confirmed cup on 5 was bad. Cost me 650$ to do pressure test and 6 new cups

    @Big Road Skateboard knows his ####. I’d be very glad if that’s what’s wrong with mine. You got lucky. New heads have gone up about 50% in last 3 years. $650, not bad. Add gasket set, O rings, and what else? Total cost? Whatever, better than $3-$4k. 5-6k with labor these days.
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.
