Did you have some water in the fuel or gas run through it? If the tip is broke off of #5, and a miss with a cyl 5 contribution code. I would crank the truck with the FICM relay pulled and listen to see if it cranks even and consistent or if it makes a strange sound (dead hole) while cranking. It the crank is inconsistent with a broken tip and a contribution code for #5, I would think pulling the heads would pretty much be a waste of time. You can see if the valve is hanging open by removing the valve cover and rocker arms. Use a straight edge and see is one is hanging open. Most likely going to need a long block due to base engine problems.

Well the bad news today is the top of #5 piston is chewed to the top ring in two spots . Dealership says new motor time have to wait for a warranty adjuster to inspect damedge absolutely unfreking believable . It's a ford extended warranty does that mean it will be a new motor or a reman. Thankfully have warranty but don't know if I will keep it when ever this is all over. I have seen some horror stories on hear about remained 6.0 thanks for your opinions
