Hello Ryan, Glad to see you got your gage working!

If its' not the head gasket blown in and around cylinder #4 I'll eat the car!

I'll find the info I've got and get it to you depending on the year and the mileage Ford may make good on it. You can search the net and you will find a couple of sites devoted to this problem. when this happened to my wife's car we got nothing but the run around. Eventually we hooked up with a class action and a month later we got a letter from Ford offering reimbursement of credit towards a new piece of crap. We took the money and we still are trying to dump the car. He's something from another post here on "the most undependable car you've ever owned":

How about four head gaskets and three heads in 20 months/20k miles. After a protracted argument with FOMOCO and joining a class action Ford reimbursed full out of pocket costs $4800 and did the last gasket and head for free. Even though they eventually covered the costs who wants to drive the car anywhere always waiting for the next blow! The interior and exterior are near perfect and the car sits waiting to be sold or traded in. We live in a low population rural area and wouldn't sell the car to anyone we know because we don't want to screw them! This V-6 aluminim head cast iron block engine is in many a Taurus and Windstar so beware 75K seems to be the point of destruction.

The original warranty from Ford was increased to 5 years/ 50k Later they increased it to 7 years/ 75K for this gasket "issue".
