Yeah, heads CAN be an issue on these engines, it has recently come to my attention. Not typical for a 2001, but rather, the early years. They tend to crack near the valvespring pilot seat (that's Intense's terminology...not mine), and when they take cores, they MUST be from a mid '98 or later for that reason.

Cyl #6 is the right front cylinder, if I remember right. Do a compression check in there, just to verify that. If that's good, then you're probably looking at something a little more serious. Double check fuel as well.
