Just had this same problem with my 04'! Mine was the thermostat housing

To add the above, if the initial cause of the misfire WAS coolant, would coolant on the o2 sensor contribute to the diagnosis that it needed an o2 sensor and that not be a reasonable assumption and replacing it cause the misfire to go away for a couple of days? Maybe the old o2 sensor had coolant on it in addition to the spark plug and replacing it cleared it up while the leak was small? o2 was the upstream one. Just a thought.
Finally, do you think I should insist on a new long block if they find that the head gasket is the culprit or think it is or entertain allowing them to replace the head gasket and hope there was not any other damage? Thanks again for your input!
