Hey hey everybody,
I'm curious to get a few opinions on how often people have run across cracked blocks in the 2.3 Ranger....I'm out of the wrenching business for the moment, otherwise I'd be running tests right now. It has definitely overheated good and proper, and at the very least cracked the head. Suffice it to say I've got to assess things curbside, and though the truck, repair job, and ante just to play fits my needs, I'm a bit hard pressed to put a junkyard motor into something that won't surpass a $1000 in value once running, driving, and smogged.
So until I can schlep a compressor for a leakdown and do a cooling system pressure test, I'd very much appreciate some advice from experienced parties.
Thanks in advance, your wisdom is worth its weight in gold...heh heh
