I just did a compression test and I didn't have spark plugs in
and cylinders 1,2, and 3 were like 125 but dropped cylinder 4
wouldn't even go up added oil and same thing

I been told just to get a new engine I have 210k on stock
but one of my friend said it might be a head problem also coolant
in reserve went down a little

Also check engine light read as misfire

Any thoughts let me know please

 

If you have 0 compression in your #4 cyl. I would opt for a leak down test. That way you can see if it is an issue in the bottom end or top end. Like you said it could be a blown head gasket. Or it could also be a burnt valve or blown piston.

 

Yea I think its more the burnt valve or blown piston
my oil still looks fine not milky and also dealership service department
said burnt valve so used engine which I was headed towards

thanks for helping

 

Yeah, swapping in a used F23 would probably be cheaper in the long run.

 

I'm planning on putting a H23 vtec haha I was going to get another
F23 but wanted torque for hills since my engine went out on a hill haha

 

Go H23A VTEC.

 

planning on it this next two months
