You can add me to this list.

2013 LC with 195k miles. Had the valley leak last year which was repaired within a week. HG issue started last week with misfires in cylinder 1.

Shop wants to replace all timing components while the engine is torn apart just for preventative measures.

Another 2013? Dam. Seriously seems like a pattern.

Meaning you addressed the valley plate within a week of it starting or within a week of noticing fluid was low?

You guys are still going on about how great CCN is come on, headgaskets are not a major issue with these trucks. CCN is not a Toyota g-d Paul Meeker owner of lextech is someone who I would listen to. Mike at FIGS engineering is another.

You are buying an almost 10-15 year old vehicle. Unless they owned it from day 1 you cannot for certain say X was the cause of the headgasket. That's like every dr saying any patient who has a rash has it cause of chicken pocks.

He's been oddly quiet. Did @ryanCA get banned?

Agreed. It’s been weirdly quiet. I hope he’s healthy and doing alright.
