Well folks we were ALL wrong...
        It  was not a piston
        It was not a valve
        It was...a cracked head!!  ARRRRGGGGHHHH...magnaflux showed 
deep crack between intake and exhaust valve on cylinder #4, extended 
from bottom of head up through the exhaust valve  seat...fortunately 
Triumphs Only  had  good  used heads, Wayne even picked out two of 
the best, told me to check them out and return the one we  did not 
use...can't  ask for better  service  than that...
