Well I payed someone to replace the headgasket on my Z6,the head was warped as well so it had to be machined.Well after all is said and done the motor does not overheat any more but cylinder #1 is not firing at all,I checked for spark and it's there.I'm sure I have fuel cause the other 3 cylinders are firing fine.I took the sparkplug out and it was soaked in oil.So I'm thinking that the valves are either bent or the seals went bad it was running fine before the procedure it just ran hot.What are your opinions?

how you u know you have fuel to that cylinder? you said the plug was soaked in oil??

jvillagran2000

well I'm guessing that I'm getting fuel,my multimeter is broken so I could'nt check the injector for continuity.And yes the spark plug was cover(the electrode) in wet oil

if i were you swap #1 injector with another and see if it does it in the other cylinder. also pull that plug wire and make sure that your plug isnt sitting in oil from a leaking valve cover gasket

Things to try:

-Replace the soaked plug (obviously) and check all the plugs to be sure that the remaining three arn't getting balled up as well.
-If you cant check the health of the #1 injector with a multimeter see if you can see fuel spraying out after it is removed.
-Last but not least, make sure that you have the plug wires in the correct order.

Good luck.

no the wire it self is as dry as can be.I will try to swap the injector.Well the injectors were all working fine before the procedure.

already checked all the plugs and they are all fine its just #1 that was covered in oil.How about timing could the person performing the procedure gotten the timing mixed up.Cause the timing belt and water pump were replaced as well.

timing wouldnt cause the plug to be covered in oil. if anything i would execpt it to be the head because you didnt touch the lower end

BOOM found dat shizznit is about 2 min, haha sry had to say it ever tho theres no pic's but im sure you can figure it out. or buy a haynes manual and it will come in handy for other problems you might have

u can use a screw driver n put the tip on the injector and the other in your ear to see if its ticking

slimjimming6688

try a compression test and a cylinder leak down test
and a running compression test

good looking out man,I found the problem it's the cylinder head.I had to get it machined cause it's was warped and the machine shop milled it to much and one of the valves was not opening.
