Default bog? loss of compression? crack

my b16a starting smoking at a light, and then when left the light to park it around the corner it started to bog, I thought i lost compression or cracked something. feels like im running on three cylinders.

I just noticed a crack in my headers

is it more seriouse Ie.. engine related? or It can be solved getting some new headers???
(i hope, need some 4-1 anyways)

Header. Singular.

Compression, leakdown, and block tests should all be done.

In your thread title or first post, you MUST mention what car you have.
