How to diagnose the cause of a consistent single cylinder missfire. The main reason why one can face this issue is not sealing the valves correctly. Doing a compression test on my new motor because i have run into some major problems. Exhaust valves are more susceptible to burning because they run hotter than the intake valves averaging between 1200 and 1350 degrees fahrenheit.
A compression test uses the engine turning to generate the compression in the cylinder for the compression stroke in which both intake and exhaust valves are closed. Most of the time when exhaust valves are burned they will cause losses in compression. This eventually reduces the compression resulting in the poor performance of the engine. A burnt exhaust valve can also reduce the performance and power of the engine. Therefore a good way to test for a burned exhaust valve is to run a compression test or leak down test. Took it to a honda dealer to get it checked out and was told i have a burnt valve in cylinder 2.
The test on one side of cylinders was as follows 2 210 4 210 6 210 8 190 i have not done the other side yet. 2000 honda accord ex f23a4 long story short car has been burning a good bit of oil for a couple months then cylinder 2 was misfiring code 1399 and 0302.
