    Hello. I have a 1st gen access cap with a 2.7 that blew a head gasket at 224K. I’m here to get input on my options. Looking forward to the discussions.

    You're probably best off getting a low mile engine.

    Second option doing the chain, water pump, head gasket, valve cover gasket and whatever else your current engine needs IF it has good compression on the cylinders that aren't effected by the blown head gasket.

    What the real question is; what caused your head gasket to fail?
