OUR MECHANIC TOLD US THAT THIS ENGINE TYPE HAS THIS FAILURE AT 60,000 MILES. OTHER FRIENDS FORD/MERCURY'S HEAD GASKETS WERE RECALLED AND COVERED. FOR SOME REASON 1993 HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE PROBLEM. IT COST US NEARLY $1000 TO HAVE REPAIRED (THE DEALER WANTED $1800). WE WOULD LIKE MERCURY TO REIMBURSE US FOR THIS DEFECT. *AK
