Services Performed
  • P0300-P0306-misfire detected on all cylinders. Removed front bank spark plugs. Electrodes are very clean and smell like coolant. Pressure test of cooling system found coolant leaking into cylinders. Also noted scoring on cylinder walls. Recommend either remove cylinder heads, or replace engine based on cylinder wall scoring.
  • Pressure tested cooling system-no external leaks at this time. Removed spark plugs for cylinders 4, 5 and 6. Used borescope to check cylinders-4 and 5 have a puddle of coolant, and 6 has some droplets on cylinder wall. Also noted scoring on cylinder walls. Suspect upper radiator hose came off due to excessive pressure in cooling system due to head gasket failure.
