Misfire codes 1-6 and P0172 - Bank 1 Fuel system too rich. A compression test was done and the compressions vary from 95 PSI to 160 PSI. Cylinder 1 has 80% leak down. They're guessing maybe water or an over rev caused some of this damage.

the only water i can think of maybe from the cold air intake but i have a hydro shield so i kind of doubt that. The over rev could have came from me letting someone drive my car smh but i'm not sure of the exact cause

did you have these codes when you took it in or did they test drive it and mess it up?

You could put in a J35A3 engine. Teh CL documented what's necessary to change over (it's not much) from your 6speed engine. It's plug and play and you'll have a 3.5. Put in your type S cams and you have a 3.5 type S. Check carpart.com
