My initial thought after I read about the PO overhauling it was "hmmm, then why is he so dedicated to coming out and trying to fix it?"
No offense, the PO might be a great guy, and obviously seems to want to make it right, but I would question whether his work was done right, or if it was done it all. If you have cracked open the top of the engine and it looks dirty, he probably didn't do anything to it. Any one who would have overhauled an engine would not have put dirty parts back on. After reading through about 5 of your comments, my money was on a valve issue. As J-Mech has stated probably 100 times here on OCC, the K-Series are not very difficult to overhaul, but that is assuming that you are capable of such a thing. Do that machine some justice and get it to a reputable repair shop.
