I also have a misfire 1-3-5-7 error now. I changes all coils and spark plugs but still have the error (the engine has more power though). Compressions test showed some leakage but not terrible. Any idea what this could be? Head gasket leakage? Worse?

I bought 235/80/17 Yokohama X-AT tires (E rating) for my 2002 Lexus LX470. These are 32.2 inch tires and weight only 50lbs (source: Yokohama Geolandar X-AT Tires - https://tiresize.com/tires/Yokohama/Geolandar-X-AT.htm). I downgrade from Falken Wildpeak MT 34.8 inch tires which weight 80lbs...

Hi, I am Roeland from Amsterdam in The Netherlands. I recently bought a 2002 LX470 with 150.000 miles. The truck runs on LPG to reduce fuel costs and has a 122 liter tank under the car (where the spare wheel was). The car was imported in 2018 from the US to The Netherlands. When I bought the car...
