1995 Ford Windstar GL 3.8

Summary:

A high cost and high risk investment

Faults:

The head gasket blew at 104000 miles.

General Comments:

The head gasket blew without any reason.

I didn't overheat the engine.

The van had a cold thermostat and the mileage was poor.

When I changed for a hotter one, the mileage improved but the gasket blew.
