I lost 7 and got it on film spraying a 200 shot against 2 litter bikes.

Just a thought, but if you run coolant passages from the back and making those cylinders (7 & 8) run cooler aren't you getting "Denser" air which would mean it's running even leaner ?
BTW, I can vouch for Orlando Fuel = Worst fuel in the nation, I've seen... (I've lived in Fl, Il, Ny, & Ca.)

Just found out last week that number 7 has 36% leakdown. All other pistons were 10 to 11 percent so number 7 is the only one that has problems. My motor has never had a power adder. It has less than 21,000 miles, less than 300 passes but I have spun it as high as 7000 on approx 100 to 150 passes.

I lost #5 and #7 on my old Z28 due to spraying a 150 shot on a all motor tune. I am now losing the #7 cylinder in my CETA because the rings are giving up and it only has 44K miles on it

Do you guys think this could be a cooling issue, maybe the way the coolant is routed or poor cooling passages thru the block/heads is overheating this cylinder under hard driving or power adders?

22,000 hard 3000 to red line (6750)road track miles and no problems on an 03 LS6. Normally 25-30 min sessions, 4 times per day
cam 224/228 580/580 112LSA, stock 243 heads, springs check each winter
I did put an accu-sump and oil cooler on at 1500 miles, #7 & #8 were richened up a bit. Tune was check each winter as well.
Never ran temps above 265 oil or 220 coolant. Changed oil every 500 miles, M1 15-w50. Coolant mostly water with 10-15% Dex and two bottles of water wetter.
Other mods, TPIS LTs, Random Tech High flow cats and x-pipe, then straight pipes, TPIS tb On PP LS6 manifold
