[QUOTE="scott degroot, post: 1008980, member: 66039"] Not to be a dic but an oil sample would be about as useless as shooting pool with a rope. It seems pretty straight forward based on the symptons given that the engine is using coolant based on the the amout of coolant that has been added, the smoke from the tailpipe and the misfire. This is definetely going to be a warranty issue but the issue is going to be did the head gasket fail from overheating or did it fail due to a fault from the engine builder. Who installed the engine is also going to be another big issues. Was the radiator repalced or sent out to be flushed? Was the thermostat replaced? [/QUOTE]
