Hi there,

If you are not loosing coolant or over heating, start with a full tune including all the filters.

Hi there,

Plugs, leads, fuel you have done, air, do a comp test, check fuel pressure and flow, check the ECU for fault codes. Ignition timing, and a run on an oscilloscope if you can as this will give a full ignition break down.

Hi there,

Normally with a head gasket problem you will have chronic miss fire, overheating, coolant loss and often emulsified oil, that is coolant & oil mixing together causing it to go very thick and coffee coloured, if this is not the case do the simple things first, tune and see how you get on.
