<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Make sure you check the valve cover gasket and all the o-rings are seated properly. Since you replaced the piston ring you could have a gasket or o-ring not sealing correct. This happened to me on a 160 and if there are any leaks anywhere on that engine it will run the way you describe. </FONT></DIV>

<P>The engine has been running well after replacing the piston ring. Got a good compression. I flew 20 flights before starting to have problems. Here is what happen: The engine started to die sometimes when on ground when giving a little power. This engine never die before. I replaced the glow plug with no change. I also try to adjust the pump with no change. Finally, the engine always die when trying to accelerate so I can not use it anymore. </P>
<P> </P>
<P>I am thinking that could be the pump or bearing but not sure. Any suggestions to fix it welcome. </P>
