sounds like you just killed the head gasket, get a compression test on the cylinders done, cheack for faulty spark plugs and also dont try drive it!

i warped the head doing that and it cost me 600 for a rebuild!

just had new plugs leads and rotor arm not that long ago so dont think it is that. all the noise seems to be from induction kit tho. had car running and pulled each spark plug out one at a time but all cylinders seemed to me as if they wer workin
