Oh jeez; I know better than to type at 5:45 am! Guess the morning coffee hadn't kicked in yet.

I'm surprised that a 3.0L is blowing head gaskets!! This is the first time I've ever heard of the 3.0L doing this, although it's common on the 3.8L.

Possibly the block deck or the head, or both, are warped?
