My very recent experience with P301 via blown head gasket is that it misfired the worst upon cold start. I caught it early enough that it still ran fine soon after. Opened it up to find a nice clean combustion chamber. This was not on an FA20 but I still think the symptoms would be similar with it needing time to collect enough water to muck things up for a few seconds.


I don't think it's a head gasket but again, opinions and assholes....
