H3 3.5 2006 head

[bull5]

Hi
My H3 2006 L52 with 70000 miles has the VIN within the fault head produced.
Till today no problem. Should expect in the future bad surprise or after 12 years I'm safe?

I’m at the +250,000 mark with my original 06’ head so it’s really just a game of chance. Some fail and some don’t. But I have hit that wall where I need to replace it do to a misfire on the number 4 cylinder. The valve seat is trashed. So it’s time to replace the head plus start looking for a donor 6.2 liter engine.

I have an '06H3 that I bought with 130K on it. At 235K now. You should be good for about 100K before everything starts acting up & major part replacement begins.

Not all 06s had bad heads, and head failures aren't restricted to that "bad batch" in 06. My '07 failed at 98,000 miles and others go a long time without seeing issues. It's not something I would worry about.

Crossed fingers... here in Switzerland is hard to find a new head....

You’ll have to purchase one off RockAuto or Ebay
