I worked for a Ford dealer when the 2.9L was still being produced. The only car to ever have the 2.9L was the Merkur Scorpio. The 3.0L used in cars and Ranger is completely different. I have never heard of the warped cyl head deck or cracking heads on 2.9's. The 4.0L had enough problems with cracking heads early on that there was a recall to replace the heads.
