Number 3 is dead thread, -or- (give up and build the 2056 thread) Options

So my daily driver is now dead on number 3

Engine : Bone stock 1.8 liter w/ L-jet (1974)

2 days ago I am driving as usuall, pushing it pretty hard 4k rpm for about an hour in 5th gear, i notice a loss of power, number three is dead. I pull the plug wire while running and no difference.

so

I park it overnight and do a valve adjustment in the morning. Number 3 is still dead. I pull the plug and look at it. It is black as hell and not shiny or oily. dull black. I pop in a new plug. still dead. I switch the injector leads from front to back. still #3. I swap injectors from the same side. still #3

this means no compression right? I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) just did the adjustment the night before and it was .006 on intake and exhaust. How can the adjustment be perfect and the cylinder be dead.??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

last note: on the dead cylinder, if i pull the injector lead from that one, the rpm drop fatally as if it were only running on 2. but as i said it makes no difference if the plug wire is on or not.

What gives??

Was this the 2056?

NO

This was the latest bandaid on my 1.8 that I have been brining back to life every few weeks.

I am not ashamed of my stupidity, but... I will not put any more money into this one.

For now, I will keep drinking my Belgian Beer.

I am still waiting to get my case and cylinders back from the machinest on my 2056, once recieved, I am building that and slappin it in.
