So yesterday my car blew up.......the symtoms i was experiancing before hand were bad clutch pressure even after I bled out the slave, and was not leaking fluid(By bad pressure I mean that the clutch engadged really close to the floor and was slow comming up). After that about 4 days later im driving and all of a sudden all hell breaks loose engine pinging and the car dies...The shop said that i got forign matter on one of the pistons but heres what I dont get. The one with that had a smashed spark plug was cylinder 3 and it had 0 lbs of compression so the order of all the compression was 155 0 0 43 now why would it be like that if only one piston really had a problem....Any ideas.

An idea would be busted valves or bad head gasket...thats the only thing that could explain two dead adjacent cyl's and a weak one.
