My car feels like its running on 3 cylinders. so i check my plugs and found that in cylinder 4 my spark plug is melted.( ill try to upload some pics a lil. later.)

no compression at all in the 4th cylinder. the compression test showed 185, 195, 180, 10. So when i take out the spark plug wire in cylinder 4, the car runs the same. Im thinking i cracked a piston or something this was boosting 7 psi on a semi-heavily modified d16z16(cam, valvesprings, skunk2 im, and msd igintion) maybe burnt valves? has anyone ever seen this before? cause if its that, then i'll just drop in some new valves and a headgasket and im good to

Translation: Yes

that would be a yes to a cracked piston or some new valves.

That would be a "yes" to either way you have to tear your motor appart and do a rebuild.

Use a pen light and peek in the spark plug hole...if you see any oil in there, then things may not be so good.

Just take of your head and see for yourself. Either way that is what you are going to end up doing anyway.
