Engine stop angle.
If that is consistent, I would wager that the next cylinder on is a "GONER".....
In an ideally balanced engine, there are no favorites.
It will stop anywhere it stops moving at....
But an additional back pressure could make that happen.
Such as a cylinder that has a bad exhaust opening, or a higher compression due to worn rings.
It's most likely a ring problem, since the cooling in the Toy 4's comes from the back to the front. Under-temperature cylinders wear faster than normal ones.
I bet somewhere along the line somebody took the thermostat out!
And it follows that the radiator needs to be broken down and rammed clear....
Do you think he has the guts to pull the head and check the clearances?
Even in normal operation, if I remember right - the back cyls got the most from the coolant system.
A "COLD" engine caused the back cylinders to have a lot more wear because of the coolant flow.
Reason number nine thousand never to just yank a thermostat if there is an overheating problem.....
