- LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS FOUND TO BE LEAKING, LOOKING FURTHER INTO IT THERE ARE MISFIRES ON ALL CYLINDERS, WITH CYLINDER 6 HAVING THE HIGHEST COUNT. PRESSURE IS BUILDING IN THE COOLING SYSTEM DUE TO A HEADGASKET FAILURE, GENERALLY THE GASKETS FAIL IN THE CORNER WHERE CYLINDER 6 IS LOCATED, WHICH IS THE CAUSE FOR THE HIGHER COUNT. UPON LOOKING AT OIL CONDITION, THE OIL AND COOLANT ARE MIXING CREATING A GELATINOUS MIXTURE. VEHICLE HAS NO HEAT DUE TO HEAD GASKET FAILURE FILLING COOLING SYSTEM WITH COMBUSTION GASSES AND OIL/COOLANT MIXTURE. DUE TO NATURE OF HEADGASKET FAILURE AND HEATER CORE ISSUES, AND SEVERITY OF VEHICLES OVERHEATING ISSUES CAUSED BY HEADGASKET FAILURE AND COOLANT LEAK, AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT IS RECOMMENDED. CUSTOMER HAS DECLINED SERVICES, AND WILL PICK VEHICLE UP.
