Well after pulling the Head from the motor to get a better look at why I have no compression to #3 cylinder. Here is what I found. #3 spark plug hole had been stripped out, at some point in the cars life. It was repaired poorly. The spark tip resides a little ways back in the new hole. Caused the exhaust valve demise. At this point I can either have it welded drilled and rethreaded again or find a donor head. The mini has 205k miles on it.

 

Hi and welcome to NAM!
Get it fixed and report back to us. A used replacement head may be the way to go. Just get it redone, before you put it in!

 

Welcome

We fix them all the time. Make sure you do all the exh valve guides at 205k they are for sure worn out.
