I'm getting a cylinder 1 misfire every 30 or so miles and each time i go to advance to get it erased. car runs good, no shaky idle or anything, i recently within the past 4 months replaced the LIMG w/the metal one, new plugs, plug wires, new coils, new fuel pump, fuel filter and injectors. Is this most likely a headgasket issue and how can i tell if so? What headgasket is recommended so i never have this problem again, thought i saw one on 60v6 once but i cant find it anymore.

Take the spark plug out of your #1 cyl and take a flashlight and look at the top of your piston. If it looks rusty or discolored( compair to other ones) its the headgasket.

Can't help you there. I just got the felpro and they have held up so far.
