FIXED Really need help 2017 dodge caravan 3.6 with cylinder 2 misfire
That sounds more like what I usually see with them. We send the heads to a local machine to change out any bad valves and leak test the head. Usually a day or two turn around and they stand behind the work. Unlike rolling the dice with a used loaded head.

Pulled the intake off against today and the valve cover so I could be sure my lobes weren’t opening the valves and it has a little bit of air leaking past the intake valve seats and a pretty decent amount of air leaking past the exhaust valves.. I put a rubber glove over my tail pipe and it filled the glove like a balloon…. I’m gonna guess an say I should just pull the head, slap a new one in and be done.. Def beats a new engine.
Now that I believe. :silly:
Definitely replace all the cam followers while you're at it. Even if you don't have a problem with bank one. Do it anyway. Consider replacing the PCV valve with new while you're at it.
Update: I did the left bank head today, new roller rockers and lifter while I was there, got it all put back together and the cylinder 2 misfire is gone! Vehicles fixed and ready to get back on the road. Thanks again for all the help and suggestions!
