you could have been running very lean and melted a hole in the piston... to be able to looz compression that fast... i have done it before on a sled

when i removed the head i didn't see a hole in the piston...but i know that i was running very lean...i friend told me to fill the bottomend with oil & fuel mixture to see if the seals are bad...i will do that tomorrow after work...

if u were running lean then you def burned soemthing up id check out your crank seals and do a compression test.
