Coolant in plug chamber

Changing plugs (3.2L) I found the #6 chamber was full of coolant causing a misfire of that plug. Of course drying it out temporarily solved the misfire. The real question is where is the water coming from. No other plug shows any signs of coolant.

No water in oil, no steam in exhaust.

Any ideas where to start?

Thanks!

This is a bad head gasket, or a cracked, warped cylinder head. Not real common on the 3.2L, but some have had it happen to them. :mad:

I guess the only way to know is to pull the head? Glancing through the manual it looks like that won't be as easy as an '84 Civic (only other time I've pulled a head and replaced gasket)!

Any advice before I dive in? I really can't afford to have someone else handle this.

Thanks in advance.

just pull the rocker cover to see if there is any traces of coolant inside the cover and if the head is cracked it may be visible look real good
