check the area on the face of the block at the bottom right hand corner.theres only two water jackets it could be coming from but i would guess its the one right at the end of the block in this pic

i'll get some pics tomorrow but the coolant looks to be coming from the one next to the locating dowl at the front. i'll get it stripped again and have a closer look at it. im hoping this will be the problem with the missfire aswell

compression test results
cylinder 1 - 150psi
cylinder 2 - 150psi
cylinder 3 - 180psi
cylinder 4 - 180psi
all four cylinders have a spark, and you can watch coolant drip from the headgasket, so headgasket is defo gona be changed
