110,000 and I think it is a 4.6 engine.


Was advised I had a head gasket leak by one mechanic. Another told me the heads were fine & that I had a cracked block. Still another told me that a cracked block is rare for an Aerostar because the blocks are cast iron. What's your thoughts? I am debating on just having the shaved heads put back on the engine. Is there any way to know whether or not I have a cracked block?
Thank you very much.

The odds of the block cracking are pretty slim. Have done a ton of heads/head gaskets on those vans. Be sure to have them pressure tested as well as surfaced when off the vehicle
