Durham,
The other night i was driving home and my car started running really bad, like it was running on 1 cylinder. well the next mornign i took my spark plugs out and they where totally ruined. have pic. well i replaced the plugs with new ones and the car still ran the same, it vibrated very bad and there was some clear liquid coming out of the head around the exhaust manifold

anyone have a clue whats going on?
 
wow man ive never seen spark plugs that bad in my life....they got ####in fried...well that liquid coming out of the head is all of the liquid coming out of the water pump....i say replace the head gasket....and maybe do a port and polish if u havent done one already...
 
well if it the headgasket i was gonna port and polish the head and replace the pistons and rods.

everyone is like WTF happened to those plugs, what did u do
 
Those plugs are horrible! I've never seen anything like that without detonation OMG

However, it does sound like a head gasket. Even if it's not, it's something that's going to require you to take all that stuff off. Go ahead and replace water pump and all belts while you're at it... maybe throw in a balance shaft removal kit as well :thumb:
