The engine shakes more than normal. Foam coming out of the thermostat manifold. But i know for sure it's not a cracked head or head gasket because there's no steam coming out of the tailpipe. Could it be something electrical possibly? We did find one of the ignition wires, the inside where it contacts the spark plug was all corroded.
 
A cracked cylinder head will either leak coolant into the exhaust or it will leak crankcase oil into the coolant passages causing an oily foam to appear in the coolant. The shaking is the engine dealing with the coolant/oil mixture in it.
 
check your radiator fluid and radiator overflow area. it could still be a cracked head or head gasket. if there is oil in either area it is the head. we had a cavalier that did the same thing. someone told us to check these areas. could also be a cracked block.
