Thanks for the comprehensive post, CSSOB. I am not looking to sue my tuner. Waste of time, and I probably would not win. My tuner is well regarded around these parts, and he was recommended by John Powell so I am not necessarily blaming him for my motor's issues. What I want to make sure is that the tune was not the root cause (people make mistakes) so I do not destroy the new engine too.
Unfortunately I do not have the means to open up the motor to re-gap the rings. This probably means I should run an even more conservative tune (20 - 22psi?).
I will PM you my tune. I appreciate your help. Thanks again.
