Icon6 help With Random Missfire

Im on my way to PA when all of a sudden my check engine light starts blinking and I hear a hissing sound I pull over and poped my hood an came to see my motor is missfiring I luckily still made it to my mechanics and they said my my motor's head is bad which I dont get because i dont really push my car or race and I did my tune up and oil change back in febuary my only mistake is I never did a compression test.

By the way I own a 98 Integra GSR
when I check out the codes I was throwing codes on cylinder1,2,3,4 and then another code that read Random Multiple Cylinder missfire cound the mechanics be wrong cause I was there with them they checked it by pulling out the spark plug cable and the the one to driver side did not spark nor the one to the left side of it???

I changed the cap back in febuary to but I know this may sound stupid but could a bad rotor button really make my car missfire on only 2 cylinder unless of course the cap is bad to???

yeah, but check both to make sure, how are your ignition coil, or spark plug wires?

I really doubt your head went bad, and I don't think it would cause it not to spark two cylinders unless those two cylinders have bent valves. You could change out the dizzy with your friend or something and either confirm or not that it is the dizzy.
