A friend of mine who I go to school with interned at TAC automotive (helpline for Ford) this summer. He saw my car and asked me if Id had any problems with my heads. Supposedly the 4V engines have a common problem of a rear exhaust valve sticking on the passenger side.

Has anyone heard of this problem before? He said that he used to get calls on it all of the time and that there were new headgaskets issued to slow down flow in one of the oil passages.

iv never heard of that.

and iv never broken it, so that means it doesnt break

Too much oil to the lifter???

right... So if it doesn't break on YOUR car, does it mean the rest of us don't have to worry about it breaking on ours? :D

My car doesnt break, so why would Mr. Wilson's?

drivers side has a coolant flow problem around cylinders 7&8.

I have heard of the coolant flow problem but not an oil flow problem.

yep. If theres something to be broken, iv broken it...if i havent, its unbreakable :D jk.

Well, that's good to know then. I won't worry about breaking motormounts, half shafts and trannies with all the torque the new motor will be putting out.
:D
