Slight break through (integ probs)
i posted about my 94 integra gsr miss fireing before... well today after school i got home and disconnected the fuel injectors 1 by 1... the missfire is in the first fireing cylinder... so i took out the wire ( dont by cheap wires from advance auto parts) they fall apart when u try to take them out... anyhow the bottem of the wire had a white dust on it.. like electrical dust.. and the top of the spark plug just above the metal part was a brown ring... the bottem of the plug was black... but the prongs that come down were brown as was the center...
any help??
and there was a brown liq on the seal of the plug....

brown liquid like ENGINE OIL?
if so it could be as simple as replacing your valve cover gasket and gromets (combustion chamber could be filling with oil)
just remember to tq it down to spec, that requires an INCH lb wrench, its either 72 or 74 inch lbs.

yeah that will happen in the over flow.
drain your a radiator, drain the over flow..... put some fresh clean 50/50 in there and run it for a few days. then check it and see if its clean... if it isnt, take it to the pros and let them look at it. if it ends up dirty good chance you need a head gasket.

could the head gasket let it get up by the spark plugs?
my temp. is fluctuating a lot too... it will go up.. then when i go to lower rpms and give it gas it goes back down all in a hurry
EDIT: also someone spotted out that on my intake manifold bubbles were coming up but im not sure if it was just water that i sprayed boiling over flow oil or what but i bought an intake manifold gasket... i havnt put it on yet tho

:thinking:
may i suggest that you go to a tech?
im not sure about that much about blown head gaskets except that it results in lost compression and mixing of fluids... and over heating...
and since your head and block are aluminum, over heating will lead to warping so you dont wanna be drivin around with it over heating a lot.
take it in, mind at ease and preventing bigger problems is worth throwin down the cash.
