Compression test.
May pay to pull the pipe off and look at piston up the exhaust port.
Could have been caused by a meltdown.

yeah it was all done i assume, i got it from a good friend an he had it rebuilt. after awhile of searchin we noticed the spark plug had came loose. put it back in an tightened er up an she runs like a champ again. thanks for the help though guys!!
If the spark plug has loosened out I would be checking all the other top end nuts and bolts for correct tension.
There is no excuse for a properly tensioned plug to loosen out, makes me wonder if the head and jug bolts have been tensioned correctly.
Never assume anything, do a leak test now it may save you a few hundred dollars.

I would still check everything AND do a leakdown test. Backed out plug is also a sign of detonation, tho stock head design might be less prone to it. If everything else checks out good I would still do a plug chop. List all of your modifications on it.
