Instead call Mark and ask if Roush is using 'low-tension' rings on the pistons. And ask what the piston to wall and valve guide clearances are. The motor obviously has too much clearance machined in.
Kind of what I'm afraid of, but there is no smoke or anything coming out the pipes
want to do a compression test and leakdown
