Repeated the leakdown... still hasn't healed itself. So, on Skips 
advice, tore it down. And the news is not good... burned the top land of 
#3 piston plus looks like it was getting a bit hot in other places on 
that piston.  Interesting in that all the others on that side show 
moderate carbon on the pistons but this one is pretty darn clean. Very 
little combustion product on it at all. So I am thinking maybe the 
injector wasn't firing or is plugged or some how farkled.  I also found 
that the waste gate controller hot side gasket was blown out on one 
side. So now I am going to have to track some of those down ans well. 
Life is grand, ain't it.  Gotta call D.S.S. for pistons and rings and 
maybe bearings... how much fun can a guy have, lol...
