Default Big Time Problem. Help.

So my cousins crx. NOT MINE. is having major issues. the other morn he called me saying come check it out.

he starts it and it sputtering realllly bad. and when held at any rpm it shoots tons of smoke, smells like oil.

so we started to think what could be wrong. well the #1 cyl. was filled with antifreeze.

what do u guys think is wrong? its wasn't over heating and there was no oil in the anti freeze.

we are thinking cracked head. any input? thanks!

Tear it apart and check it.
Could be bad gasket or crack head.

what's the history on the motor? It sounds like a bad gasket.... I had this happen on my Si, If it did not over heat then, I don't feel that it will be a cracked head...

Tear that bitch apart! Either head or gasket, either way they both gotta come off )
