I have an almoast dead cylender, the compression is really low, but it still fires and burns the fuel.

What about a head swap? L-31 heads would wake it up as long as its not leaking past the rings.
How many miles are on the engine?

Was this dead cylinder confirmed with a compression check? Sorry for asking, if it was mentioned earlier.
