I pulled over with it still running (roughly) and noticed that there was smoke grey, however it was a cold morning so I dont know how much was steam. Had it towed to the house.
I was hoping for advice some diagnostic test that I could do to help determine what broke?
I checked the oil that night and there was plenty plus I remember while she was still running that the oil pressure was good. The loss of power, exhaust, etc makes me think a bad cyl but I just dont know.
I dont have a compression test kit, but again was hoping for some advice on what I can do to trouble shoot this one?
Thanks in advance
This is a NZ spec 1982 BJ42 with a 3B.

HF has a compression tester for $50. Or where you at, you can borrow mine?
