  1. jothain I think you're looking for the saying: "There's no replacement for displacement".

  2. Looks like a nice car to be striped! Looked to be complete. What was wrong with it? Did I miss that bit of info?

  3. I had a '95 Windstar that when I got it the second set of head gaskets had failed.  The original owner didn't want to put in another set so he sold it to me cheap.  When I pulled the heads, you could still see the factory crosshatch in the cylinders at 150,000!  This van was used for short trips to the store, picking up/dropping off kids and what not.  Lots of heat cycles  Lots of head movement on the gasket.  I also replaced the rod bearings because there was noise at startup.  #6 rod bearing was the worse. I also know of an '95 that has around 120,000 on it.  Head gaskets are original.  This van was mainly used for long trips. I currently have an '98 Windstar with 200,000+ and the engine and tranny are going strong.
