Well figured out what it was it. I have a cracked head. I pulled cylinder one spark plug and It was all sticky from coolant.

eeww... well that sucks... Id go with a whole nother motor... seen to many times people blow head gaskets and crack heads and go with a new head and rebuild the whole top end only to kill the bottom end 10,000 miles later and have problems with everything else along the way...

Well it wasn't a cracked head. It is a broken push rod due to a stuck lifter. I will be replacing the head anyways though. I will post some pics later.
