trying to diagnose a non firing cylinder in a 2005 BMW1200 I thought I'd start with the plugs... Hmm something's not quite right here
Take right side exhaust pipe off for a peer up the port.
er that exhaust valve shouldn't be open all the time should it ?
Advise owner it needs to see a BMW doctor right way. (I politely declined the job )
here is what went wrong, the exhaust valve got intimate with the piston. Cam chain was still in one piece so something gave up. Cost to fix this was eye watering.
