head trouble no not mine .

dissagree.

the 2.4 heads had a design fault which left them more prone to cracking.
the 3.0 heads were built around this design error, therefore illiminating this extra risk of failure.

The only flaw in your argument is that the 2.4s don't seem to have started failing until 4 or 5 years after the 3.0s started production.

mine was a 3.0lt and the head cracked but it was my fault. not the surfs.
im sorry baby. i wont do it again.
