Would anyone know if there was/is a recall on these engines? Just found out I have a bad head gasket on the front bank. If not is it worth getting head(s) done, or total replacement of engine, the remander of the van is in great shape...... any input is most greatful....

 

I doubt there will be any relief for you on a 12-13year old van. Gaskets go especially after years of heating/cooling cycles.
IMHO this is normal wear and tear

 

There are no recalls for the head gaskets. They are not that bad to replace, but if you do replace the front gasket. I would the rear too.

 

Ok, thanks for your reply and honesty....I will have them done... too cold to do them myself...
