Head gasket advice??
Gentleman-
I pulled the heads off of my 96 F250 with the 351. Head was cracked right between the exhaust valve and the intake valve above the number one cylinder. I have two remanned heads that look great. I don't know how much they shaved off, probably not alot, but still worried about increasing the compression on top of a block with 159k on it.
So, do i go with an OE head gasket or do I order head gaskets that are fatter to compensate for the milling of the heads? Any recommendations? I love this truck and would love to get at least another five years or so out of it. I only put 5-10 thousand miles a year on it, as it is my summer work truck.
This forum is always a big help. Thanks again!
