so i got this 99 legacy 30th anniversary edition with the knowledge that it had a miss. i got it for pretty cheap and knew i would have to spend some money on some basic tune up things for the misfire.

i went to change the plugs and thought while they were out id do a compression test.

cylinders 1 and 3 were exceptional at 180 pounds.
cylinder 2 was at 0.
and cylinder 4 i couldn't even thread the tester into to save my life. yet the spark plug threads in just fine.

im at a loss for what could be causing the lack of compression. timing? bent valves?

if anyone's got any insight please let me know. this car is in immaculate condition besides for this seemingly growing problem.

Mostlikely bent valves
