Pull the valve cover and check for a stuck valve. If not, You'l be singing
hole-y piston!

I've been "quiet" on the list for some time now, because things have been
good. Content to just follow the traffic, and not to contribute my .02
since I feel there's enough already.
Now, suddenly, I need help/advice.
The 1600 was running normally and smoothly as it has for quite a while
since some major tune up work over a year ago, when suddenly it became a
"1200".
After limping back to my garage on three cylinders (up some steep grades,
of course), I commenced pulling plug wires one by one. Detaching from
cylinder #1 made no difference, while detaching from any of the others made
a substantial difference. A quick compression test confirmed that #1 was
absolute ZERO. (gauge, that is.), the others in the normal range.
Looks like the head is to come off.
Appreciate any thoughts, comments.
Aloha and Mahalo,
Dave
