16v running on 3 cylinders

[optimus234@hotmail.com (Kevin S)]

What happened to mine was I was blowing blue smoke for a while then my 
headgasket split in half. Only 2 cylinders firing, was a pain. I would do 
another compression test on that cylinder. oil might be getting through 
fouling up that spark plug.

>>Compression test? It seems that you may burning some oil, weak rings.
>>Sometimes running a hotter plug helps.
