Ford Taurus Engine Problem
Just replaced this engine with a used dohc engine
The car barley drives down the street but after 15 to 20 minutes of idling compliant start to rise in reserviour and then start coming out from under cap coolant is not boiling the gauge temp stay in middle
If I put heater on high it take longer for coolant to build up in reserviour
Is the headgasket blown

Check for a blocked radiator and also a faulty thermostat,get a head check done this is a quick and simple chemical test to check for a head gasket problem, start here.

I took one of the plugs in the back on this duratech engine and under pressure anti freez came out from the plug hole
This confirm its a headgasket or something worse
