4.7
I have a 2005 ram 1500 with a 4.7. I was changing the passenger side exhaust manifold gasket and of course there was broken off bolts. I got them all out with easy outs until the last one. I was on the very front bottom bolt and I was a ******** and didn't have my drill quite square and I hit the cooling pocket in the head and had coolant running down my drill bit.( I KNOW PRETTY STUPID) But anyway, I can get a head with 130,000 miles on it but my motor has almost 200,000. Will it be alright to put that head with fewer miles on it?
