A “hundred percent loss” on specific cylinders (here, cylinders three and six) strongly suggests severe internal failure or a major sealing issue, which can require an engine replacement.","simplifiedExplanation":"Cylinder pressure is basically how well each engine cylinder can seal and compress air/fuel.
