Engine was not misfiring. Compression and cylinder leakage test are equal to all other cylinders on the bank, and valve does not leak air under a cylinder leakage test. Overall cylinder leakage was 10% Also, attached a photo indicating what all other exhaust valves on that bank look like. Which is a light layer of black soot Last edited by Nitrofish; 02/21/21 05:48 PM.
