So I'm not sure if it's good news or bad news....
I check the fuel injectors and they are all good. I even pulled the #8 off and double checked that it was getting the right resistance readings.
While I was pulling the fuel rail off, I pulled the #8 plug. The #8 plug was black, and had a layer of oil that wasn't on the other plugs. After taking all the plugs off, I did a dry compression test. I did this with the engine cold.
Cylinders 1-7 were 125, Cylinder 8 was 0.
I then did a wet test with a small syringe of oil in the spark plug hole. Cylinder 8 still had 0 compression.
So, I'm guessing the cylinder head is shot?
This kind of sucks as we just bought this thing about 3 months ago and it 'was' running good until recently.
