    I had a 1994 Taurus with the 3.8L V6. I bought it from my former department manager, he had found a crack around freeze plug in the left end of the front cylinder head and fixed it with a rubber expansion plug and retained it with asteel strap, it also had a noisy rod bearing. After about 4 years, it started leaking again, so I bought a used head and installed it. I traded it in 3 years ago, still going strong with the rod bearing and replaced head at 245000 miles.

    It was hilarious looking in the mirror after waiting for a stop-light and seeing a huge smoke trail 😁
    Sometimes people behind us would turn on their wipers in full sunshine 😆😂 We were in HS so we didn't care😁

    My first car was a present from my grandfather, it was his Mercedes Benz 280 SE. He bought it in 1971 and drove it until 1979. He gave it to me as a gift for my 18.birthday, at the time the car had 142,000 kilometers on the speedometer. I had the Car for almost 10 years until the engine collapsed, at this time the speedometer was up to 589,000 kilometers....the same engine and i had no major problems with it, except normal wear and tear. I visited once the Mercedes museum and they showed me a Mercedes engine with over 1,000,000 kilometers...that's really remarkable, isn't...!!??
