the sad tale of a dying h22
damn i'm so dramatic. anyways, heres my problem.
i've had a #1 cylinder misfire for a couple of days. it happened the day after one nasty misshift from 3rd to 2nd instead of 4th. i have several assistant mechanic friends. we went for the obvious first. we replaced everything in this order: spark plugs distributor cap/rotor spark plug wires then we finally did a compression test on our faulty cylinder. it read 130. not good considering it should read 200. we did the dry compression test considering it was late. i have to drive 3,000 miles tonight on 3 cylinders  i have no choice. the cylinder seems to be firing except when at idle. when i get back, i plan on running a wet compression test to determine if its a valvetrain problem or a piston ring failure. if its piston ring failure, i think i'm going to chip out for a rebuilt h22. not worth spending so much money overhauling an old one with 105k miles on it. i started this thread to keep you guys posted, and hopefully help someone in the future.any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: the sad tale of a dying h22
well, i finally got my h22 compression tested. the average score of the cylinders was 12x. that sucks considering it should be 200. the mechanic told me i needed a valve job, which is probably gonna cost me about $1200. life sucks right now
