It may come up, but there was also a bunch of oil in there from the install. 185 is more than enough. My WWS 385 is about there, and it rarely has to apologize for anythingIt may run better with lower compression. Probably come up close to 200 after the rings seat.

The (hopefully temporary) demise of my beloved SuperMike 288. @mdavlee built me about the bitchinest 288 u'r gonna ever see.
The good news; the cylinder looks remarkably good. The bad news, since the small end bearing grenaded, I was hopeful the bottom end was fine. Sadly, it revolves 3/4 turn than catches. Maybe there's just a piece stuck there somewhere, but prolly not.
At this moment, I haven't the time or patience to split it and make it happy, so I'm gonna mothball it until I've got more time.
I'm pretty sure I bought an OEM replacement from you, along with a meteor piston. The one that grenaded looked like a nwpSeen multiple hyway 288 piston pin bearing failures in last month or two.
Go with oem husky or Stihl 880 bearing for this application
Picked up some HondaBond, so ready to reassemble
Here's the cleaned up squish band

The whole adventure cost me some compression

I might put a bolt in the decomp as 185 feels like nothing compared to before.
It was 230 when it arrived on my doorstep.Was it 230 prior to this incident?

I had to sand the squish band quite a bit to flatten out the bumps, that prolly took it down a bit. There are some scratches on the jug, which are also prolly hurting, and the new ring prolly needs to seat a bit. I'd bet the squish band sanding played the biggest part.Wow huge drop off. What else got damaged that you couldn't take care of in your rebuild?
