If I am posting this in the wrong section just let me know. I have a 98 Ranger with the 4.0 OHV engine on its 3rd set of heads, after years of questions with no solid answer I finally heard one that makes sense. I was told that Ford had heads cast in two different locations, one of which used an incorrect formula leading to a weaker casting. The heads crack between the intake and exhaust valves on the forward two cylinders. Has anyone else heard of this? Can anyone confirm or debunk this? Thank you, JJ.
