Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS USED WITH ONLY 54,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE. WITHIN A YEAR AND AT 65,000 MILES, IT BEGAN OVERHEATING AND LEAKING COOLANT. MY BROTHER THOUGHT IT WAS A CRACKED HEAD OR GASKET. AFTER TEARING THE MOTOR APART AND SENDING THE HEAD TO BE CHECKED, TWO LARGE CRACKS WERE FOUND. THE CASTING # IS 331. MY BROTHER HAS BEEN TRYING TO FIND ANOTHER HEAD FOR ME AND WAS TOLD BY ONE OF THE SELLERS THAT HE CAN'T KEEP THE PARTS IN STOCK DUE TO THE HIGH NUMBER OF DEMAND FOR THIS PART. *TR
