I have been reading some of the threads on the 4.2l HG replacement and it seems to me that there is a 50/50 split on which way to go. I think mine are going as there is coolant loss from the coolant bottle, but none from the radiator. It starts running hot if sitting at idle for a while but once driving it cools off to normal but will start to warm up especially if the a/c is on. I did replace the thermostat and radiator a year ago and have questioned if the radiator is the reason. It is all brass including the top/bottom tank. Think the passages are smaller. It does cool off if the fan runs. I don't plan to do major mods to the engine but would like to do some minor ones to increase the power. I don't race or beat on it(the tach has only reached 3500 once or twice). So are the stock replacement gaskets from Ford alright or is the best thing to do is use the 4.2l HG? What are the pros/cons of this situation. Any info would be of great help from anyone. Thanks!!
