Just curious here but what are the symptoms when #7 pops?
You'll know it for sure.
If you don't--either you are deaf and you are not driving the truck.
if your motor does have an issue with any of the pistons. you will consume oil, you will have blow by and youre idle wont be as steady as previous.
if it gets to bad then you will have an oily tailpipe and push oil out any orifice capable of seeping oil.. you will look like a mosquito crop duster

+1 on all that. Same here with busted ring land on #7. Smoke out tailpipe on heavy acceleration. Compression check verified it though.
