Ok, recently had my engine warning light come one and it's a misfire on cylinder 3. Car cuts out in the morings until it's warmed up. Was about to start 90k service, so changed all the plugs and cylinder 3 plug show's signs of a misfire. Changed coil packs around and all that, did an engine compression test and all are fine apart from cylinder 3. Has no compression at all. Measured valve clearences and they are all out. Cylinder 1 exhaust has no clearence, so is worse that cylinder 3!
Would I just be looking at a valve adjustment or have a got a more serious problem?
Spoke to a guy at a garage and he was sure it could be a headgasket and that the vlaves rarely wear down, also said the lpg will not make a difference? Even after I told him I have measured the valves and they are all out and done a compression test and cylinder 1 is fine
It's not knocking and still drivable so I can get it to a garage. Just hope a re-build is not on the cards
