my brother's '96 civic is having engine knocking problems. we took off the head and there seems to be no evidence of the cylinder hitting the valves. however, cylinder #3 was slightly discolored (rainbow type color, makes me think its getting really hot). we took out the timing gun to time it properly, and the light was jumping around. it would blink in rhythm then it would add blinks to make it almost random blinking. would this have to do with the knocking? should i replace his cap and rotor? any other advice?

Sounds like you need to tear it apart. D16's are cheap it would probably be better to get one from a junk yard.
