hey guys this is weird about this time last year my driver side head started leaking. it was just below the thermostat. i tired jb weld and it worked till last month. then i took it to my buddy who welded it up pretty good but the heat from the weld got the gasket. so i had to pull the head anyway. so today i finally got around to it and check these pictures out. not only did the water jacket blow through to the outside but it also blew three holes to the inside into the other water jacket im kinda afraid to run this head any more what do yall think. oh by the way the heads were stock.

1. I wouldnt run it. You can get you a new head off ebay or similar for cheap and be much safer.

and

2. "i think ford let a bad casting get out!!" .......Why does everyone always have to blame their problems on the manufacturer. Sure its a possibility but also a very slim one. Why cant people just face the fact something on their car took a shit vs blaming it on the manufacturer
