The last owner didn't have any problems. So i figure it went before the previous owner. Previous owner bought at 70K. I figure it went at about 60-70K. My mechanic tells me 2.0L were known for headgaskets. I've never heard of this. I know the 3.8L is. Anyways I was always wondering what a headgasket looks like? Anyone have any photos? 96 Contour GL 2.0, ATX "Herman" 101K "A Clean zetec is happy zetec"

Should go well over 150k miles in most cases. 98.5 SVT 91 Escort GT (almost sold) 96 ATX Zetec (i brake to watch you swerve) FS: SVT rear sway bar WTB: Very cheap beater CEG Dragon Run - October 13-15
