This maybe a little premature but where would I get a piston and rings for the M-14P? Doing a compression check today I've found my #9 cylinder well below the 10% of the average of the other cylinder. I plan to check the oil filter for excessive metal. Right now I just have the low compression on the gage and lots of noise coming out the breather. Last year I did a ring job on the same cylinder which fixed it back than, but I'm back in the same spot again. If I'm lucky tomorrow and the filter doesn't show anything major, I'm figuring I have a piston with worn lands. Jim "Pappy" Goolsby Pappy......check your valve clearance on the intake side, bet you have too little clearance.

I've already taken the cylinder off and I'm looking for rings. I don't know why I didn't think of checking that firs t. Maybe next time I'll do the valve clearance checks before doing the compre ssion check.
