[QUOTE="CCM302, post: 11944232, member: 128070"] Yep, stock 93 cobra. All of this is what Pep Boys told me...which I don't have 100% faith in. It did run hot momentarily (10 mins or less) a few times but it never red lined or overheated (my definition of overheating being that coolant is boiling out). There is oil leaking out of the front corner of the passenger side head. I don't have oil in my coolant or vice versa and I have noticed no performance loss. It may just be a gasket or head bolt not tightened down...but, I'm just preparing for the worst. I did some asking around of a local 5.0 guy that's been building and repairing them for a while. He said 5.0 heads don't just leak from a head gasket and that if it's leaking there's usually something really wrong. Maybe a ring, warped head or worse. I would be ok with just replacing them with stock gt40 heads too. It just seemed like if I had to replace them, the x heads would be a good bang for the buck and still look stock-ish. [/QUOTE]
