Hey so it looks like I didn't check compression correctly ; I removed the side cover, removed the cam, then I spun it and I hear the piston doing a noise like a bike pump, I feel like the air is exiting. Looks like the piston is too small, any fixes to this without buying a new one? I bought way too many pistons (over 3 kits which ended up being a scam) 😭
I know he's just a kid, and lives in a country far far away, but that has to be the absolute wildest way of checking compression that's ever been tried. Really, if you have already bought 3 pistons and none of them work, see if you can return them and get some of your money back. For about double of what you spent on the pistons, you could have a new engine. Then run it, and LEAVE IT ALONE.
