Congrats Adam! Now get that truck running again. All three of my kids (even my daughter) go crazy whenever we drive the truck or Bronco. My wife's Expedition just doesn't have the novelty like an old truck.

Congrats Adam! My nephew had to go into NICU when he was born. It was a scary situation, but he is an awesome little boy now!

Finally!!! Started to remove heads on the Mule. Started off with the passenger side since its the most "difficult" to get too, and here's some pics of progress.

Started with the belt ten sooner and idler pulleys.



Braker removed.


Popped VC off and look at the gooey mess.



Pictures of my stage ones covered in goo






Sorry for the blurry picture but here's with injectors out.






And my stage ones




Will continue to up date as I tear down more into the 800K heart.

Dang yeah you had a lot of goo in those pictures! So are you planning on just doing the head gasket and leaving the block in the truck? If so, I have a passenger side OEM head gasket I didn't use with my kit.

I think the OEM kit was like 80 bucks or so on rock auto because they had a discontinuation or something. Oreilly's was asking like 180! Still, I'm not planning on needing that other gasket so I give you that along with the stem seals if you need it!

Otherwise I suppose I can hold onto it if something comes along on my motor (if I don't have any issues) like what happened to your truck!
