Re: 3.0 throttle body
It's a painfull memory. Bought the car new.
At 100K the head gasket started leaking, pulled the head and replaced gasket. At 135K the gasket blew and it overheated severly warping the head. That is when I found out that I messed up be re-using the old head bolts - they are disposable. After getting the head repaired, at 170K the car suddenly overheated and ceased (150 miles from home). Pulled the head to discover anti-freeze in the #2 cylinder and a hairline crack running along the side if the cylinder by the bolt hole.
