Could be piston rings. Or it could be it needs a valve job Or the exhaust valve on that cylinder needs adjustment ... squirt oil in that piston and do it again if it increases it's the piston rings.

+1 also a leakdown can help. Cyl 6 runs the hottest so I imagine whatever the problem is arose as a result of heat.

There's only 2 stalls here for DIY car wash, one on each end of town. However, you're not permitted to open your hood! And I don't think there's a house on my street with exterior water connection.

Heck yeah it was. Made me wish I had a 96 and below. I had to cut, grind, and tap. Happy it's all done, and love the set up.

Transmission cooler line since one split. That bugger was a pain at the radiator side considering it wouldn't budge.
