Misfire at idle was created by bazzab

Hi all.

Tech question for ya all.

My little beast has developed a misfire at idle. Its also got bubbly/foamy coolant coming out of expansion tank. Not a lot of it though. It only misfire once warm, and when i pick rev up it stops.

Now i fear head gasket but though id run it past everyone first.

Any input very gratefully received.

Many thanks in advance.

Bazza.

Sorry mate. Its single cam, cam belt. 16 valve. And there is no cover over plugs they straight in rocker cover.

Not sure if this will help.

Many thanks.
