Steve,
The engine was removed, cylinders bored and correct sized pistons
installed. We put about 8,000 miles or so on the vehicle in the last
year with performance gradually decreasing over that period of time.
I keep thinking of a bad cam that wasn't hardened properly or
something along those lines.
