Back in the day we used to get a lot of head gasket troubles with the V4 even after the head as been skimmed that’s why I put a 2 lt pinto in my mk1 I got the van knowing it had gasket problems had both heads skimmed and pressure tested but know good put it down to block trouble.

probably not the most durable engine that Ford ever built, It will probably go really well with a turbo, for a very short time!..............
