4.9 Cracked Head??
OKM GUYS< HERE IS WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY 96 f150---had what was thought was blown head gasket... changed it out...got a bad miss on no-5...after going through plugs,wires,rotor, cap....dont have no loss of coolant..no wet plugs.no water in oil...no smoke...nothing indicating problem in head...could I have a crack and didn't see it...without loss of fluid or any visible indication?....didnt get the head magnafluxed or checked because found horrible place in gasket during disassembly, felt confident in this being the problem...also working with "depression resources". Could it be-- I got gunk in an injector during reassembly?

since you have a 96 with a miss i would pull codes before you go thru anything else. that system will pick it up if there is a problem. what brand/type of plugs are you using. also are the plug wires routed nice and not touching or crossing each other? this can sometimes cause a misfire.
