Curious to know people with failed engines which cylinder went bust along with which years.

IE

Year/Engine Type/Cylinder Number -> MY99/205/Cylinder 2 melted

99 EJ205 Cylinder #4 Loss of compression - Ringlands/and or Piston. 95 000km

Suspect either AFM, Overheat due to radiator leak or aftermarket ECU that died slowly.
