Right I haven't done a compression test yet but thought i'd see what people think!
I've got a missfire on cylinders 1 & 4, it is firing just very weak and there is a good strong spark. the pistons on these cylinders look very washed & clean. I also noticed a bit of water bubbling out of the the loose exhaust manifold near cylinder 1. However I haven't lost any water and it has never blown any out when hot.
Could it be a failed carb gasket or inlet manifold gasket cause this as there are water ways in the inlet manifold and carb?
I'm stumped after 6 months rebuilding the b***ard thing and only 2 days use i hope i havent blown the head gasket! it wasn't done that long before i bought the vitara in the first place either so its only seen about 8 months of use since being done!
