Citroen c3 1.4 perol vtr 2010 - Engine missfire - strickjumpers

Hello.

Symptoms of burn exhaust valve ..but. ! Seems to run on 4 cylinders for a minute or so.then on to 3..just wondering if hydraulic valve lifter could be pumping up not allowing valve to close..

Any thoughts?

What are the compression readings for each cylinder?

180...60....170...175...

Just wondering if valve held off seat when lifter pumps causing the loss of compression..

Likely not as lifter would not be pumped up if compression test done on cold engine before pressure builds.

Now I see it's likely a burned valve/s .

Thanks

Mike

Burnt valve or cracked valve seat . Not uncommon on the Prince engine.
