My daily driver/work car has check engine codes for misfire in cylinder 1-2-3 and random multiple misfire codes, work doesnt really want to give my time off so that i can fix the issue. ive done a compression test the results from right to left (1-4) 70-85-70-70 figured that couldnt be right os i re did the test only with longer cranks for maybe a different result but no change really still all under 100 at 10 cranks woke up yesterday morning and this is what i saw while warming up the engine… ive just flushed the radiator and all this stuff not even a week ago… think im havin some major issues here, any suggestions..

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Never saw that before and I’ve been doing this on and off for 25 years. (probably not the response you wanted)
If I didn’t know better– It looks like someone filled the radiator gooseneck with spray foam insulation.
Is that stuff hard as a rock? How did that come to happen? Remove the cap and it just did a mushroom?
With the compression test, all I have is to ask if you removed all the spark plugs, blocked the throttle wide open for max air flow into the cylinders…and have a strong battery to crank the engine about 10 times per check. Trick is to crank the engine until you see the gauge ‘peak’ and that’s your number. (usually takes 5 to 10 cranks)
I’m sorry, I’m still kinda amazed by that…. I hope someone here has seen that before!

If thats oil bubbling out you got a serious head gasket issue.

Pretty.. Sort of. It’s infamous milkshake. Oil leaking into coolant, beat up into emulsion by water pump fins. Like CM said – head gasket. Fortunately, on a 4 banger, it’s only about day of slow pace DIY job. If you like REALLY can not DIY, find a mobile mech off craigslist. Won’t cost you that much.

Have to say I’ve never seen it before like that. Looks more like someone went crazy with the foam expanding insulation.
Pick up the Haynes Manual and start planning it for tools and supplies. We’ll be the cheer leaders for ya!

okay so ive ordered the gaskets, figured might as well do valve cover gaskets..etc while i have them off. i deliver pizzas daily in this car so i need it fixed asap. the parts will be here friday or monday. then me and my ad are going to rip the engine out of it and get down with the get down.
Wow…that looks like a bad headgasket leak. Never seen one that bad before. Based on your compression numbers, you are definealty losing compression. Keep us posted!
my mechanic would see this and tell me to take this car 6 miles out of town and trade the car for a dog. then when you get home, shoot the dog. not a word of a lie
