If the parts you mentioned have been tested and proven good, possibly the wires were not connected to the right plugs if recently changed, or out of timing.

Low compression in number one cylinder in a 1.8 dual overhead cam interference engine?

Low compression in one cylinder can mean several things. The valves or piston rings may need to be replaced. There may be a crack on the engine, or the head gasket may have blown. The engine should be diagnosed properly to see what exactly is the cause of the low compression.

It is in the cylinder head.


What do the heads in a car do?

piston ride up/down in cylinders in the block - the heads are attached to the block. They seal the compression chamber closed, and house/hold the spark plugs, valves, cam shafts (in OHC/overhead cam engines) and complete the water jacket around the engine. Coolant/water flows through the block and heads - why you lose water when you warp a head gasket, water is going into the compression chamber. When you have an OHV/overhead valve engine, on top of the head(s) is/are the valve covers.


How do you tell how many valves are in your 2010 f-150?

multiply the number of cylinders you have by 2. normally only 4 cylinder and some 6 cylinder engines have 4 valves per cylinder. if in doubt remove the valve cover and count the number of rockers or cam lobes if it is an overhead cam engine. easiest way to find out for sure is to look your specific engine up on the web.

What could be wrong with a Briggs and Stratton 15 hp engine that won't idle kicks back on starting but runs well at speed. Note - had new carb - fw key is ok head has been decoked and valves set.?

Generally, over time, the compression release will get out of adjustment. Remove the overhead valve cylinder cover (the dead cylinder for twin cylinder engine) and adjust the compression release with the cylinder at TDC. Loosen the adjuster locks and set intake valve clearance to between .004in. and .006in. Adjust exhaust valve clearance to between .008in. and .010in. Takes about 3 minutes to do this!
