Hello listees, I've got a sick 1984 1.9L Waterboxer. Symptoms: One cylinder (#4) regularly fouls a plug after a few hundred miles. Occasional (but not consistent) smoking (white/blue) at start-up when pulling away under power. A compression test reveals virtually no compression (didn't rise off the needle) in the cylinder. Diagnosis? Terminally bad rings? Stuck valve? Thanks, Kris S. Seago
