seems like there is your problem, 10lbs with a 150 shot on a stock piston & rings.....time to stop buying motors and start upgrading parts

Have ever considered that you might be over powering stock parts?

Whats the tune look like? Was it the same on all 4?

He just went thru 4 LQ9s and I'm barely trying to scratch up some cash and trying to find a ONE cheap one.
Can you tell me where you get your LQ9s and for how much?
