Re: ford thnder bird
With the engine running, spray some WD-40 around the intake. If the engine speed changes you know you've found where the leak is. Head gaskets are a problem with the 3.8 engine so a compression check isn't a waste of time.

Re: ford thnder bird
comp test to me is a waste of time for me i know it;s the intake is leaking but on the other hand it's not for head gasket you may be rite. like i said my old man is hard headed. if it was head gasket tho it would have water in the oil and you can let it run for 30 min. and wont over heat. but thanks for your in put. scrapper......
