Funny you should ask. Just finished my casual (worked on it when I had time) rebuild. Running well with no lights, then…light comes on for misfire. Son of a bi@$&!! Cyl 2 & 6 still. Barely 4. I’ll be doing some troubleshooting today. Did order a new cam sensor since it’s been so long and it’s...

I had all the seats taken care of when I did the head gasket. Unfortunately I’m pretty certain it’s the ring. Injected air at its TDC and i only heard it coming from the dipstick tube and oil cap.

Yes, the engine light is on. Will come on after about 20 miles indicating cylinder #2. after a more miles #6 will trigger the random misfire. When I did all the work on it last year, the PVC was replaced and throttle body and IAC were cleaned. The entire top of the engine is spotless. I...

2006 history: over a year ago, I replaced the head gasket along with all the usual components while I was in there. Heads were resurfaced and checked out. Ran great for over a year. Now I have a reoccurring misfire that starts with #2. Idles rough, but runs great otherwise. When reading...
