2.3l Ford head replacement

[bchahn]

Hi All Looks like bad winterization... need to replace the head (leaking water into engine compartment) on our '89 Bayliner Capri 1950. Anyone use the parts/engine from automotive 2.3l Ford engine? I promise that my boy and I will get better at this winterization.<br />Thanks for any help with this.

lolts of postings on this subject on this site, use the red search above for details. The long and the short of it, basically the auto engine is inferior in many ways. With some caution and careful examination you can use some automotive parts but only some. Read the postings, they are very informaive.

I would not use automotive parts. Are you sure it's the head?<br /><br />You can get parts for that engine throuugh a Ford Power Products distributor.<br /><br />See website, below, for locations.<br /><br /> http://www.fordpowerproducts.com/FordPowerProducts/index.htm
