Here is a easy way to find out,its called a leakage test and here is how you can do it,bring that cylinder top dead center,you may have to remove that valve cover and make sure all valves are bottomed out.put 50 psi of air in the spark plug hole remove radiator cap air cleaner and oil fill,listen for the air comeing out.if you have air coming from your air cleaner you have a intake valve bad,do the same with the exhaust,if you have bubbles in your radiator you have a blown headgasket,if you hear alot of air comeing from your oil fill you have a problem with that piston,I hope this helps you,

Miss fire #6 cyl 2000 dodge 3500 van 5.9 egine

100 PSI is way to low, I think you have a burnt valve. Check the cylinder compression on all cylinders, no cylinder should be 5% lower than the highest cylinder pressure measured or the engine will run rough or misfire.

I have 95 dodge 3500 ram ( Ramp Truck) V10 I have bought new coils also #10 injected and it still has a miss. In it# 10plug black every time it loads up what else can I do please help Carolina's girl.

You can have someone do a compression test on it to see if the rings and valves are sealing. The black plug indicates burning oil in that cylinder

And have you checked compression on all cylinders to check valve timing ?
Is the check engine light on when the engine is running ?

Engine swap

I just put a 96 360 magnum in my 97 dodge 4x4 that had a 318 in it. Yes it does fit. I noticed that the flex plate on the 360 has balance weights on it and the 318 does not. Make sure the plate stays with the 360. The torque converter and exhaust manifolds bolted right up. The 96 360 engine had different connector plugs on the Map sensor, Crank Sensor and Tps. Get those off of your 318.
I did notice that with the 96 PCM for the 360 my fuel guage was off quite a bit. The 360 will run off of the 318 computer at least if your in a bind for Money.

Blah

If you have already done the basics like a tune up and fuel filter you need to check for a damaged head. Use a compression tester to check for a problem. Compression should be with in 10 PSI from cylinder to cylinder. Check all cylinders.

The dodge 360 magnum motor tends to crack the head between valves. I have seen this many times.
