newbe with head problem. - VA
Hi all, I'm a 
from Boones Mill Va. I'm new to this thread thing. I've owned Ford trucks most of my life.I recently purchased an '02 F250 with a v10 engine. (I get 1mpg per cylinder)
. After about a week the spark plug closest to the driver(me) blow out while I was driver home. Apparently this is why it was sold?! I'm now in the process of putting this mess back together. Any suggestions on removing the old head gasket without damaging aluminum head? also how clean does it have to be?
Ok I'm done.

welcome to the site mate... sorry to hear about the plug blowing out but it seems to be a common occurrence on these v10 heads from what ive read in my short time here...
as for getting the aluminum head cleaned.. not sure mate... my only guess would be some parts cleaner... but ive never worked with aluminum heads yet.. my only experience is with cast iron heads...
