Holts Wondarweld states you should remove each spark plug in turn watching the bubbles in the expansion tank. If the bubbles disipate on the removal of a certain spark plug then you know which cylinder- (removal of a plug takes compression off the cylinder so no air is escaping through the blown gasket into the expansion chamber) I tried this but it didn't seem to work though- small tiny bubbles were always seen in the expansion tank no matter what spark plug was removed and the car sounded like a tractor when a plug was removed.
