hi guys went to start the 6 last 2 mornings to find her struggling like mad turning turning turning, kinda like the battery was flatish? though there was perfect charge in it when i metered it.. when the car eventually started after a few minutes of ranking it was running on 2/3 cylinders and engine was jumping all over the bay, after a minute of idle she was fine again running sweet this has happened both mornings! any ideas ?? cheers

water leaking into cylinders over night and wetting plugs on start up. Head gasket time i would think.
