Both Cinqs and Seis suffer with head gasket failures. There's no predicting when they will go, some will last for ever and some wont.
Tell-tale signs vary, if yours has gone you may have one or more of the following symptoms.

Tell-tale signs vary, if yours has gone you may have one or more of the following symptoms.
- Creamy deposit in the cam cover and under the oil filler cap, caused by water getting into the oil.
- Oil in the water.
- Oil or water leaks from the engine block.
- Gradual loss of coolant with no visible cause. (e.g. max to min in a week or so, if it occurs over several months this would not neccesarily indicate a problem)
- Misfiring when cold for the first few seconds after starting up, caused by water getting into one or more of the cylinders.
- Persistent misfires, especially when using heavy throttle at low revs caused by leakage from the cylinder past the head gasket.
- Overheating
