number 4.... that there was funny. Thankfully I have a spill cover on my keyboard from the coffee, but boy did it hurt coming out of my nose....

Why / how would that cause blowby from the bottom of the piston? I was hoping you would chime in, so thanks!!

I took things back apart. Cylinder walls look immaculate, 3rd stage head looks dirty. I don't know about the 3rd stage piston. When I put it into the cylinder I didn't get as much resistance as I though I would. I've never done it before, so not really sure what to expect. It just kind of slipped right in.

Obviously need to replace the 3rd stage o ring, @iain/hsm said I would probably damage that, he was right. The 3rd stage head was pristine when I rebuilt / installed it.

Brand new piston on the left (might have 20 min on it), old on the right.
