Hey! I'm looking at a few cars, a vintage 220, (see my question in the vintage section). I am also looking at this 1991 190 E that has a "dead" cylinder. I spoke to the owner and the brakes and tires are all good with no rust on the car etc and he said hes never brought it to a mechanic for the cylinder problem. What could be causing this, worst case/best case. Ive been looking at some vintage cars and some near vintage cars.

Let me know what you think. Thanks Chris
