    99 Ranger/Mazda B4000 - Head Gasket keeps blowing!

    I have a 99 Mazda B4000 4X4, or should I say $x$. I bought it at
    124,000 km (77,500 miles) and the head gasket blew at 127,000. I have
    a limited warranty which covers the first $750 (CAD), so I only had to
    pay a few hundred to have the dealership fix it. However, a week
    later it was leaking coolant even worse so I brought it back and they
    did the job again telling me this time it a manifold gasket.

    Now, it's been only 9,000 km (5,625 miles) since it been fixed and the
    head gasket is blown again! Does anyone have any ideas/opinions on
    what's going on here, I feel like I'm getting shafted!

    Sounds to me like the head's warped... and since it was on a warranty and
    labor probably under valued in the book...well, draw your own conclusion.

    Well there are no signs of coolant in my oil, exhaust seems ok, and
    engine runs smoothly. I have a fan clutch that need replacing as it
    is stuck engaged all the time, could one have anything to do with the
    other?
