Well i was told it was probobly the Head Gasket except that im shooting no smoke out and my car isnt over heating I heard these are all signs of a bad head gasket, if it isnt my head gasket what could be causing this?
 
No not yet I need to get all the things together to do one, ive only had the car 2 weeks and all ive done is compression test , oil change and new spark plugs and a new exhaust being built. but i want to get my engine running great before I even start to mod it. I was wondering , since you think the crack is right between the #2 and 3 and it wouldnt make my car overheat would I still be able to check if its the headgasket using this test from Vfaq?

**remove the coolant cap and watch the coolant level when you add the compressed air. If it rises or you see bubbles, you have a leaking head gasket.**
