Hello,

Everyone has down a compression test on the vehicle? I only ask this because this is usually what happens when a vehicle is run hot, the head(s) warp as they are usually manufactured from aluminum and the block is manufactured from cast iron. They have different thermal properties. I have included a few links for you to go to down below.

Let's start here. Please go through these guides and get to us with what you find out. Regardless of what you find out, there are paths to get this problem resolved, we just need to know which one to take.

Thanks,
Alex
