I just join this site, after purchasing a Ford Ranger from my mom's boyfriend.after driving the truck around for a few days I noticed that it was leaking oil from the heads. So I got a top end rebuild gasket kit an started taking it apart( this truck sat for 10 years before my mom's boyfriend got it an he only had it for 2 weeks) an oh my god at the slug it was hard as a rock on the valve springs. I cleaned everything with a wire brush, I broke 8 bolts off exhaust manifold. Well after soaking them in good oil for a week I began trying to tap the broken bolts out. Well the didn't work out because the mount on the heads where they manifold go Corner broke. So my question is I have a 86 Ford Ranger 2.9 L will a 90 3.0 head work or a 4.0 head work? What heads will work with my 2.9l motor? Thanks for any help
