Remove pass. side head??
This is a repost, thought I would try a different title to get some repleys.
Well I was in the process of replacing the glow plugs on my ’96 F350 Crew Cab. And for some reason the inner two glow plugs on driver side and passenger side where the hardest to get out,(gummed up). Well I managed to get all of them out but when I pulled out the last one it was shorter than the rest of them, I noticed that the heating element had broke off from the glow plug and was stuck in the head. I know it’s stuck in there bad because it took a lot of work to get it out. There is no way to get a hold of it now so my question is : Can the passenger side cylinder head be removed without having to remove the engine? Or do I have to pull the whole engine? It’s a ’96 F350 Crew Cab 7.3 TD. The only thing that I see that could be in the way of removing the head is the heater blower that’s on the firewall, does that need to removed too? Anyone have to pull a passenger side head before? If so please let me know what you did. THANKS!!!!!
