    I have had a really pesty problem w my Cali T . I get a cel 304 - miss fire cylinder 4 on when I punch it down at high RPM . We swapped the coils from 4 to cylinder 1 . No change . The tech said he also moved plugs - no change . They also moved left bank injector rail to right side . ( I am not totally sure they traded plugs & frame rails .
    They send me a picture of bore scope on cylinder 4 and said the problem is a scarred cylinder wall at top of 4 . I got to thinking though and could that simply be where the rings stop at top dead center??
    If they are right , the cure obviously would be VERY expense . What do you think ? Please help . Thanks james

    You can see cross hatch in the picture, it is not worn. Did they do a compression test? They are grasping here. While I don't have the answer to the problem, it is not an engine rebuild I am pretty sure. Pick another shop.

    Hmmm thanks so much . No they didn’t do compression test . I am having them swap right @ left injection rails first to see if problem moved. If not then compression test. Do you think the carbon at the top of the cylinder could be the problem ? Thanks , james

    No, I don't think the carbon is the problem.
