[TR] Missing at high revs TR4A

[Chris Buckley]

Hi Listers,
  I have now changed the sooty plug and going for a test drive tomorrow. It was definitely sooty rather than oily. Regarding the PCV valve, I have installed a rocker feed kit as sold by Moss and was wondering if that could be the cause of a lot of oil being pushed through the valve and being dumped into cylinder no 3 causing it to make the plug sooty.
  all advice greatly appreciated,
  Thanks,
  Chris

. I would also check the soot 
on the plug--does it feel dry and fluffy, or oily? If the latter, it's 
time to do a compression check. If the former, the plug could be firing 
intermittently, or, there might be a slight vacuum leak at the manifold 
at that cylinder.
