How can you tell if your head is cracked in a ford expedtion?
Jmink21
most times you will notice low water level, and white smoke (steam) coming out tailpipe. Power loss and hard starts also. Easiest way to find out is to do a compretion test. Then not only will you find out if cracked, but you'll know right off what cylinder the the crack is in on the head.
