HEAD GASKET BLEW WHILE OWNER WAS TRYING TO DETERMINE SOURCE OF COOLANT LEAK. AFTER CONTACTING LOCAL MECHANICS, THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN DEFECT WITH THE 3.8L ENGINE. AFTER CONTACTING THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THERE APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF HIDDEN WARRANTY UP TO 5 YEARS/50,000 MILES FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. THIS MEANS THAT FORD ADMITS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT. *AK
