The customer must know something. They’ve probably been adding coolant.

You have one of the best most knowledgeable shops I have ever seen. I am sure you know about this, but what about using a MotorVac Carbonclean machine or similar? I'm assuming you don't like using those? I have seen a couple episodes that the vehicle you were working on just like this Ford Edge with misfire would have been a good candidate to do a Carbonclean service. I just watched the rest of the video and a Crabonclean won't fix a head gasket. Still, when the problem is just carbon a CarbonClean or walnut blasting can be an option. Both have their place.

I think you're supposed to do a compression test with all spark plugs removed in case you have a leak between cylinders. I'm just a DIYer not a mechanic.

I have never brought a vehicle to your shop. I watch your videos and trust you guys would do a great job for me. As a brand new customer if I were to bring my vehicle to your shop, would you give me the extra special fast service like you gave this 12 year customer or would I get less then that type of service because I am a brand new customer?

Thinking out loud… Imagine if there was a way to calculate the amount of time technicians spent under the hood of any motor vehicle. That beautiful El Camino in the background got me thinking of this. I would bet that the Camino being 50+ years old has less time under the hood than that modern car. That’s a sad fact!😮

Give the client a rental for a month, then cycle the vehicle through the shop on a non-emergency basis!

My cuz had same failure about 70k he was told new long block. He became a thorn ate half the cost. He had it traded for highlander before it was done and no longer trust ford. I have theory though arp type studding could stop this with clamping force. My thinking is like 6.0 diesels.
