Re: cracked poston, was IML: 82 Imp EFI won't start/run

Yes, I forgot to list the acoustic feedback as one of the inputs processed
by the computer.

Since the history of this engine is unknown, anything is possible, including
a broken off spark plug tip having bashed in the top of a piston!   Let's
see what the compression check shows.  I was just concerned that fuel/air in
the crankcase might crack more than a piston!
