Start with a compression test. Then you may have to remove the valve cover to inspect the valve train.

1) SOUNDS LIKE A SPARK PLUG CAME UNSCREWED AND BLEW OUT---POWER LOSS? OR SKIP. THIS SOUND CONTINUES

2) SEE IF A/C STILL WORKS---I'VE SEEN 'EM OVERCHARGED AND THE SAFETY VALVE RELEASE. USUALLY THIS SOUND STOPS REAL SOON

KEEP US INFORMED
