ok, well it must be a head gasket. called up the ford dealer, first thing he said was its a head gasket. $1200-$1500 job.

so i'm going to do it myself. just want to make sure what gaskets should i get, and bolts? use all ford parts?

this will be my first head job. how long should it take me?! anything i should look out for? i am going to buy a ford service manual, the haynes i have sucks!
