Howdy all. This morning my car struggled to start so I swapped out the battery with a new one. It proceeded to be strange so I pulled the lead to the middle cylinder and it had no effect on the car so I replaced plugs and leads.

Atm while the car is running with new plugs and leads. If you pull the mid cyl there is no change in behaviour. As you look at the car the right cyl makes a small change but won't stall out. The left will kill the car instantly. I swapped out distributors and it behaved the same as above and now I'm stumped.

Any help is much appreciated cheers.

Sounds like a blown head gasket.
