Minnesota state parks move to reservation-only camping

Figures now that we have our camping all reserved for the year! Maybe I can switch spots.

Laziness at its finest. I want to sell my truck but don't want to go outside to take a pic.

Was that with a turbo or other forced induction? Should get that 5.2 liter from the gt350 and add forced induction

It's supercharged so you nailed it Jim. Too much boost! I thought he said it hit 17psi

They want crazy money for the 5.4 motor I suggested. He's better off rebuilding with aftermarket parts. I've never looked into the 5.2

Unfortunately they don't sell it as a crate engine, just different parts from it

Your engine was designed and built to handle that range of boost...

Ford is famous for design / implementation flaws with things like cylinder sealing.
Headgaskets / headbolts spec'd insufficiently was a HUGE flaw in the Windsor 302 as well as the 6.0 / 6.4 diesels.

One thing about that engine that blew Cory - if the crank journal for that cylinder is blue or black, odds are that it spun a bearing which then caused the piston to fracture if/when the bearing shells "stacked" and allowed the piston to hit the head or crank throws.. Pistons often get a bad rap because they are more fragile than the rods and pins..
