98 Integra LS. About a year ago, I drove through a big rear end puddle and filled my cylinders up with water. After I blew the water out, it appeared to have survived mostly unscathed, because it seemed to run fine for a whole year, other than an intermittent misfire. Apparently I was wrong, because after I towed a trailer this weekend, the misfire became permanent and I have zero compression in cylinder 3. What are the chances this is a headgasket and not something more serious? There are no tell-tale signs -- no oil in the coolant, no coolant in the oil, and no bubbles in the coolant when the engine is running. Can I nail down the cause without tearing the engine too far apart? If it's more than $500-700 I just want to scrap the car, so a new motor or a new head is out of the question (I'd be taking it to a shop, no garage to do something that serious).

Thanks everyone, looks like I'll just take it to a shop and explain the situation, since all of this requires tools I don't have.ChewedFood posted:And what state are you in? I've been looking for an integra shell. MN

I'm mostly "not willing to put in the work" limited. I have friends with garages and engine hoists if I really wanted to.

Phone posted:Swap in a CRV motor. My parents actually have a '98 CRV they want to get rid of. Unfortunately, it's down in Florida (I'm moving near them in 2 months), which is one of the reasons I'm strongly considering getting rid of the car -- would make the move much easier.
