Get a photobucket account and post a link to it. The more people that see it the better. Problem with movies is the sound is never that good and it is hard to pin point where the origin of the sound is coming from.

Photo and image hosting, free photo galleries, photo editing

If you post as an image it should work like below.

Well it sound like a mechanical failure of some sort. I would do the compression test on cylinder 3. Valve spring failure is very rare but at this point you should be hoping that is what it is. Anything else that would make that kind of noise is going to mean a major engine repair.

okay im not a mechanic. i did the compression test and it read 0. but when i first did it i just took the plug out and plugged in the tester. i knew that was wrong. so i looked up a video and i made it were my engine would not run by unplugging wires and coils. and it still read nothing. so am i still doing it wrong or does that mean something?
