NAC: Acura Integra questions

[cobram at juno.com]

Do a dry and wet compression test, it'll tell you if the problem lies in
the valves or the piston.

Is it blowing white smoke?  Abnormally high pressure in cooling system
cold?  Coolant mixed in oil or vice versa? Cylinder next to dead cylinder
compression readings strange/off too?  Any of these point to the head
gasket.

Are all the cylinders affected?  If not timing belt is probably OK.

FWIW, over rev like you described I'd bet a valve or two kissed the
piston.
