cylnder head was created by paul2u
i noticed first that the engine seemed to be running off a cylnder on tick over but ok on higher reves and driving , i then noticed that my water level kept dropping and needing to be topped up , i took out number 2 plug to find it fowled up as this was the cylnder that was missing on tick over , i put in a brand new plug for it just to be the same , coild packs ect have been checked and ok , i also have water coming from the exhaust , i loose about one pint of water on 60 miles , i am thinking the head gasket or worse as there seem to be no aparent leaks , i am minded to take of the head , what do you guys think cheers

A compression test will confirm, but definitely sounds like a head off job. Which engine? If it's a DOHC save the hassle and swap the whole thing for a 1.6

It's only a marginally more difficult job to put in a 1.6.
