Black Plug

As posted before one of my cyl. keeps fouling its plug out. I dont know why, I suspect a ring. Is there a way to figure out a blown out ring w.o taking the motor apart?

Do a compression test on the motor and compare that cylinder to the rest. Also....have you considered that you might have a broken fuel injector?

Try a wet/dry compression test.

try posting one thread per problem instead of multiple threads for the same problem and you'll **** off a lot less people that have to take care of this site. migth want to try a bit of trouble shooting and searching too before posting a thread.
