ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
OIL LEAKING FROM HEAD GASKET. AFTER TWO FAILURES OF THIS POSSIBLE FACTORY DEFECT, DEALER IS REPLACING MY ENGINE WITH A REBUILT ENGINE. THEY INITIALLY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE A BRAND NEW FACTORY ENGINE. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I WANT A BRAND NEW FACTORY ENGINE. FORD IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN A MANNER CONSISTENT WITH ITS SERIOUS NATURE. TO SAY "IT'S FIXED" BY PUTTING IN A REBUILT ENGINE IS RIDICULOUS. WORD AT FORD ENTHUSIASTS MESSAGE BOARDS IS THAT 1999 5.4 LITER ENGINES HAVE CASTING DEFECTS. PLEASE HELP.*AK
