Remove COP cover,COP's,spark-plugs, and do a visual inspection.
Are COP Spark plug boots covered in oil or a rust residue ?
Oil or water could short a COP & cause misfires.
The Spark plug boss seals will age and leak oil, or rain water rolling into COP cover can cause COP's to short out..
** Watch your oil viscosity + Don't overflow, because too much oil pressure will
blow oil seals.
Check your own oil after service, the book has 6.9 quarts of oil not 7.
