this is off of a acura integra 91' i just pulled it because i had problems with it misfiring. The number one cylinder is the one that is bad. it was full of antifreeze, i checked the head good and there is no visable cracks. Anyone have any suggestions on what it could be. The was no oil in the cylinder, just antifreeze.

 

Replace it...

You can't reuse that anyways---by the way it looks---that's just me.

 

BUT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IT is what could be cause the antifreeze to leak into the cylinder

 

To tell you the truth, I can't say yes. Although, you can perform a leakdown test when you assemble back the head properly (please torque everything to spec).

 

it's easier to diagnos something like that when the car is still drivable.

 

it doesn't seem like that is what is. i am afraid it is a crack in the block.....would it have oil in the cylinder too if it was cracked in the block?

yes there would be oil in the cylinder if you had a cracked sleeve. You will over heat also.

Check your oil cap, and look under it and look for creamy stuff. Thats a sign of something bad.. lol.

Also if your oil looks like chocolate milk, thats another bad sign. Ive dealt with blown headgaskets, warped heads, cracked sleeves, blown ringlands and those are the signs that your focked.

I dont know if that was helpful, but im a little buzzed -_-

 

oil looked normal when i drained it....there was a lil antifreeze in the oil but not much. I have check the head and the block and i see no cracks. What do u think, a warped head.....how can i check to see if it is warped?

 

you probably have a warped head... get the head milled along with a new head gasket.

 

yea that was the next thing that i was going to try....thanks for the input

 

a crack sleeve would do it
