Well chaps,
have not been on here for a while but after a nightmare 6 + weeks of daily trips to hospitals my V8 decided to deal me a possible head gasket issue
1995 4.0 ( no LPG ) and just 80k on the clock
Symptoms: a slight misfire on start up but settles to normal after about a minute
or so and this happens at every start up hot or cold.
White smoke / steam from exhaust and sweet smell on start from cold.
Slight coolant loss approx 1 pint over 4 weeks no wet carpets etc.
Checked engine at night time and noticed arcing from plugs 2 4 6 8 checked leads all OK removed spark plugs and no 2 plug was a little wet and appeared washed.
Thoughts welcome, but think i know the inevitable
