My car had a bad miss, pulled the plugs and found one black as tar. i did a compression test and the number 3 cylinder had 0 compression (the one with the black spark plug). i pulled the exhaust manifold off and found the following in the suspect cylinder:
is this a bad valve seal? is this something i can fix myself or bring to a head place?
i have never really dove this far into a motor before. but its pretty fun so far, minus the knuckle juice I splashed all over the exhaust manifold/downpipe when i was removing it. no broken bolts (knock on wood)
thanks for any help
