   At the weekend i thought i`d clean my engine, it all went well i left it running just to make sure but didnot cover the filter, now i only have 3 cylinders firing. the one nearest the gearbox isnt firing i have checked the plug and lead and they are fine. any suggestions

   how do you know the plug and lead are fine, did you test it was spraking? the ignition coil may have got wet as well

   oil
   
   could be worn piston rings or head gasket
   
   is it overheating or anything?

   i have been told that the rings are on thier way out, head gasket has done less than 1k.
   i think i am looking at a new block
