Why is one side of my engine misfiring?
One of the most common problems that will cause misfire codes on one side of the engine is a clogged catalytic converter. Each catalytic converter is connected to all the cylinders on one side; you will end up getting several misfire codes plus the typical P0300 random misfire code.
What can cause a single cylinder misfire?
Lean misfire causes that only affect one cylinder include a dirty fuel injector, an open or shorted fuel injector, or a problem in the fuel injector driver circuit (wiring or PCM). Compression problems that may cause a misfire include a burned exhaust valve, bent intake or exhaust valve, or leaky head gasket.

What can cause low engine compression in one cylinder?
Low Engine Compression, In One Cylinder If readings are very low in one cylinder, it is highly probable that; internal engine damage exists such as: The piston could have, a broken connecting rod or a hole in it. There could be a stuck, burnt or leaking valve.
How are pistons installed in a clockwise rotation engine?
viewed from the front of the engine), rods are installed similar to a clockwise rotation engine, where the larger chamfer side of the big end faces the fillet. However, if the pistons feature an offset pin, the piston must be installed “backwards” relative to installation in a clockwise engine.
What causes the seat to fall out of a cylinder?
Most cylinders heads are made of aluminum and expand at a different rate; compared to the metal valve seat. This variance in the expansion rate can cause, the seat to fall out of the head.
