I would start with a compression test and verify if it is the #1 cylinder that is lacking compression and how much it is leaking. Next a cylinder leakage test could be done by putting compressed air into the combustion chamber of the #1 cylinder. Make sure the cylinder being tested is at Top Dead Center on the Compression Stroke.
Look inside the radiator for bubbles. | | |
