the guy told me i have a compression problem, air leak from piston rings 
So not running at full potential and would recommend a new bottom end, or refurbed. |

What sort of oil breather setup have you got on the rocker cover? Try going back to the standard airbox and breathers before you spend any money. Might also be worth getting a second opinion too - I don't buy what this guy is telling you tbh.
