Good ole cylinder #3 - show of hands

Ok. For those with engine problems....current or past.

Anyone who had the problem diagnosed as cylinder #3 piston, #3 rings or #3 otherwise.

Show of hands please.

Please do a count off in sequential order in case this grows large then we don't have to count.

Number 1 here!!

Are all these failures on stock non modified Mini engines?

For number 1....yes. Ring landings are a weak spot as I have read.
