'96 Mercury Cougar 3.8 head gaskets
I just got my hands on a nice clean Cougar, but it is blowing bubbles in the radiator and steam out the tailpipe. I read a lot about the 3.8 head gasket problems but figured I'd see what you all had to say and if you had any tips to make the repair easier. 134k miles, runs good otherwise.- 69oiler

Official 2012 rally
I had a good time, sorry I couldn't stay longer. Nice to see some of the old crew along with some new faces. What a nice surprise to see Jim Madden. And on the way home I met OLDBULL8, it was a pleasure to visit with Bill and that Oreo milkshake was sure good. Thanks for the tractor parts...- 69oiler

Nice van man. The Triton motors aren't bad, just don't over torque the spark plugs and you'll be fine. 70k is still a baby. I'm a little jealous ;Sweet- 69oiler
