If is missing (running flat) on a cylinder, sounds like you have a problem, and you don't want to make it worse by running it and causing more damage. First thing I'd do is check the oil for contamination (diesel fuel). But that may not tell you anything, unless have contamination. If don't have contamination, could still have a cracked or broken top ring and diesel not making it down past the lower rings. You could pull the valve cover and rotate the motor and watch for valve movement, or lack of. You could pull the exhaust manifold and look for an obvious freshly oiled exhaust port. You may want to, and probably should pull the head. I'd say don't run it anymore. If have a bent valve, running it could tear up the valve seat or combustion chamber, and slap a piston if haven't already - my buddy's head became scrap metal from the damage. If have any loose metal in the bore, can tear it up, and I have no clue what it's like to find a sleeve for any Oliver these days. Keep us posted. I doubt that anyone's playin a joke on you, or would've let you off the hook by know.
