Hey everyone,
My father-in-law has been having issues with his 2011 LC. It started as the check engine, trac and 4 lo lights coming on and it running a little rough, but not terrible, from time to time. The code he pulled was for cylinder 8 misfire. He has had it looked at by 3 different shops and 2 of the 3 have said it is a bad head gasket and coolant is leaking int cylinder 8 and he should purchase a new (used) engine. This was after replacing the coils, plugs and testing the injectors.
The engine has 260k on it. And it sounds like the head gasket will be about 6k and a new engine around 10k, at least that is what has been estimated.
What do you all think? Replace the engine?
And if so, anyone have any good leads on where I could look?
The shops we have spoken to have not been able to find one with their distributors...
And if more information is needed let me know and I will get it
Thanks guys!
