On cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, increasing the refresh rate decreases flickering, thereby reducing eye strain. However, if a refresh rate is specified that is beyond what is recommended for the display, damage to the display can occur.
The loss of a cylinder...what does that mean. I believe my number 1 cylinder is either dead or at this point it's compression level is near 0. So with the car being a 98 Ford Taurus 6 cylinder/3.0 ohv engine, outside of just bad engine performance what else can i be looking at as the engine slowly dies. If it has near ZERO compression and you intend to continue driving until the bitter end you might disconnect the injector on that cylinder.
Remove the gasket and clean the parts of the old gasket from the cylinder and the head. With the head removed, check the cylinder walls for scratches or polishing in any area. This can cause the engine to smoke. Slide a gauge between the piston and the cylinder wall to check for broken rings.hen replacing the head, start all the head bolts and tighten to a slightly tight position. Using a cross pattern tighten each head bolt to 220 inch lbs. If any air is leaking into the engine, the engine will smoke. A bad crankcase breather will cause smoke. Overfilling oil or mowing on hills causes smoke.
