Car Forum / Ford / Ford Cars / March 2006'93 Couger - V6 - head gasket update
Just got the car back from the dealer. There was a communication problem about completion time but they covered a rental car. So far, it seems to be a top-notch repair. Everything under the hood is clean. The repair ticket lists replacement of head gaskets, intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, timing chain cover gasket, and spark plugs. It shows they checked the heads for warpage and also performed a valve job. Timing was set, oil, filter and coolant were changed. The car seems to run very smooth, better than before it broke. My guess is that we should get another 120k out of her, now. Thanks for the advise and commiseration, folks! PoD >Just got the car back from the dealer.

As in $Howmuch?? Glad to hear it looks OK. Cheers, Puddin' Well, ...yeh ... $1621.25 >>Just got the car back from the dealer.

I'm admittedly out-of-touch, but I guessed $2000, and wouldn't been too shocked at $2400. Hope it's good for the next 125k mi. Puddin' >>>Just got the car back from the dealer.

The dealer recently changed hands - the old owners had let a lot slip. The new guy is working hard to improve everything. Talk around here is that he is succeeding, too!

First, I re-learned how well designed the Cougar is. The other cars didn't handle or ride anywhere close to the Cougar. Secondly, I learned the brakes in the Cougar are mushy. Today is flush and bleed brakes day! (Then I have to go sell a lot of beds to pay for all this.) It is sunny and warmish, tho... PoD |
