Message If you've been through 3 engines, did you install new engines or used engines each time or did you just swap out parts and keep trucking with the same engine? If you're running the same engine then it probably has problems stemming from before you bought it that you still haven't worked out... that might not be the case, but you didn't state 'engine was completely rebuilt each time' or 'I replaced the heads after the headgasket blew' or 'I had the heads checked for warpage and there was none from the first time' type of statements... when I blew my headgasket, the heads had in spec warpage, and I replaced the gasket and put them back on, and had in spec compression... but the car overheated again eventually... I had to completely swap out the heads after that.

A little more clarification might head the diagnosis.
