The metal disk part of one of the valves (intake or exhaust, usually the exhaust as it is under the most stress in operation) in one of the engine's cylinders has cracked. This allows gasses from the cylinder to escape, causing that cylinder to be "weaker" than the other ones, increasing engine vibration. If the crack is in an exhaust valve (as it usually is), unburned hydrocarbons in the escaping gas will cause the car to fail emissions testing. If the crack is in an intake valve, very hot escaping gas can cause a type of "backfire" in the engine's air intake system.

What is meant by a valve spring compressor?
A valve spring compressor is used to remove collets in a car. The tool compresses the valve springs in the cylinder head of the car allowing the collets to be removed.
Why must you crack a cylinder before putting a regulator on?
Cracking the valve will blow foreign matter out of the outlet. The foreign matter can foul the seat in the regulator and prevent the poppet in the regulator from closing. Remember that you never crack a hydrogen valve since that can cause ignition of the escaping gas.

Why do you crack an oxygen tank?
You "crack" an oxygen tank by opening the cylinder's main valve briefly to blow out contaminants from the main valve before attaching the regulator. This is done because contaminants inside the valve or at the valve outlet (dust, dirt, organic material, bugs, fragments of plastic from valve seats, etc.) act to initiate regulator fires and explosions ignited by heat from adiabatic compression of oxygen into the regulator when the oxygen main valve is first opened. These fires ignite the brass regulator itself and are very dangerous. They are avoided by keeping oxygen equipment clean, by cracking a new oxygen cylinder prior to use, and by opening the main valve slowly when a regulator is attached.
Can removing a spark plug crack a cylinder?
Can Spark Plug Removal Crack a Cylinder?No, spark plugs screw into a threaded hole in the cylinder "heads," and therefore cannot crack a cylinder [wall around the pistons].NOTE however, that if spark plugs are not removed and reinstalled PROPERLY, this process can "strip" and ruin the threads in the cylinder "HEAD."
