I have been feeling my hx has been performing sub par and had a cel and it was a mis fire that i cured with a new set of plugs since the cylinder 3 was fouled. I still seem to have a dead spot in the lower power band.

I have done a compression check and the same cylinder is down, next thing to check is leak down.

It will be much cheaper and way more eco-friendly as others have said to fix the engine.

you can buy parts from the dealer and have new piston rings put in as im sure the rods,crank and pistons are fine, but even if they aren't it still can be rebuilt relatively inexpensively with factory replacement parts.

i say keep it and fix it!
