FORD ADMITS DEFECT IN GASKET, BUT WILL ONLY REPLACE IF UNDER 60,000 MILES OR 5 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. SINCE IT IS KNOWN DEFECT AND BARLEY OVER 60,000, I WOULD EXPECT AT THE VERY LEAST THEY WOULD MAKE GOOD ON A PERCENTAGE OF THE REPAIRES. I BOUGHT THE CAR AT GENE EVANS FORD, BUT IT IS CURRENTLY AT BOOMERSHINE FORD 770-476-2090 3230 SATELLITE BLVD. DULUTH GA 30136. I FIRST NOTICED A PROBLEM IN LATE NOVEMBER- EARLY DECEMBER OF '98 (POOR IDLE / RUNNING A LITTLE HOT). TOOK TO BOOMERSHINE WHEN PROBLEM GOT WORSE (CLOSER THAN GENE EVANS). CAR NOW IDLES ROUGH AND RUNS HOT TO COLD (MOSTLY HOT). *AK
