so last weekend i was pulling to tubes and my motor putter and died . when i went to restart it i was really "clanky" sounding, more than usual. i thought maybe i picked up a stick but then it died again. so i sat and thought about my options, and finally cranked it back up, put it in gear and just tried to troll to land. after a few minutes the clank noise went away but to be sure i went about 5mph to drop people off at the shore. i took it out by my self and there was no clank but a loss of rpm. about 1500. so i took it to the dock to load up and it puttered and died again. then of course it didn't start back up , it was turning, but wasnt starting. so i loaded it up took it home and today got a compression test to see what was up. I started the motor, first try, started right up. So i continued and found out, cylinder 6 is getting no compression . all other cylinders are exact same. I put oil in the cylinder to see if it was seized and still no compression. the oil did spit back out though. if i hook up the compression tester, and crank it about 7-10 turns i get about 15 psi, compared to 77.5psi on 3 cranks on every other piston. what does this sound like???? Is there a way that a intake/exhaust valve could be stuck? Or is there even on in this engine. Is it rings, or a scored piston. I just was wondering if anyone had any ideas before i start on it.

wellll.... no reply so i took the expander, injectors, and head off. Looks like something was in the cylinder, top of head is pretty beat up, and little pieces of the piston, on the sides, are missing????? Any thoughts....... where is the best/cheap place to buy new piston/rings/gaskets
