Some friends drove a few hundred miles to visit us here in town, in

Mom's 1989 Taurus finally blew a head gasket (at 127,000 miles- what a

auto with the OD tranny. The Air conditioning has been
updated/retrofitted, and the OD works flawlessly. The can has

drove ~ 100K miles and then took the test again.  Below are the
