Well I finally got the head off, one of the valves is screwed and the piston is melted to the rings. Think that I might just buy another truck. Would like to post pic. Will try to post one.

If you first upload the pics to your "garage" you can transfer them to a post by copying and pasting the "bb code".

It has been awhile but the truck is still down. Been to busy to work on it but hopefully will be running soon. Had to order a long block. Head was gone and #4 cyl is out of spec's. Don't know if I can pull the engine out without removing front clip. Already pulled rad and left head and every thing on top of engine.

Just picked up ford bebuilt long block, put flywheel on and it rubs on starter bendix housing and when I turn the crank by hand the bendix engages the flywheel. Engine is still out of truck. Don't know if you can buy shims for the starter. The dealer doesn't seem to know. Maybe someone came across this before.
