Default honda troubles

whats up guys?

my car started acting funny, like it was missing. checked all the electrical things, everythings fine. did a compression test. got 270 all the way across and 120 on number 2 cylinder.

possible causes: valve problem, head gasket, or possible cracked head in the worst scenario. it only stutters a little in initial acceleration. the thing is that everything was fine when i shut the car off at night and i wasnt even remotely rough with it throughout the day. and the next morning when i go to start the car the problem starts

anybody have the same problem? anyone with any suggestions?

Double check your compression test

Do a leak down test

If you are getting bad #'s on a cylinder it's time to take it apart and find the source.
