Stopped by Advance today and borrowed their scanner to run my codes...even though my check engine light WASN'T on...sure enough, pulled a PO300...multiple cylinder misfire...not sure if this is related to pinging or an old code or what...engine seems to run fine, it idles fine.
In any case, I think I have a bad lower intake manifold gasket (great compression, but unexplained loss of oil, pinging (perhaps because of ingestion of oil because of bad LIM gasket, and cylinders 4, 5, and 6 with oil on the threads of the plugs.
Shouldn't I be getting bank 1 or bank 2 lean condition codes with a faulty intake manifold gasket?
I want to be at least 90% certain before I start pulling things apart!!!
