Figured out my no start problem
Well come to find out my oil rail on top of the injectors pulled loose and busted the oring on one of the injectors.
The bolts that hold the rail down stripped the aluminum out.
Has anyone heard of or seen this happen before? Now I get to make a trip to the dealer for a $680.00 part!

Yeah the parts are on the way, I have arp studs in it already so all I need is a head gasket. I done the work when I had the motor out (new heads). I torqued everything to fords specs from the Workshop manual. it has about 10,000 miles on it since it was done. The bolts pulled the aluminum thread out. I dont know what happened but I checked the other side and they are still good.

Excellent point. And helicoils are a lot cheaper than $680.

I had to use Helicoils in my intake manifold when I installed my Banks elbow, 2 of the 4 stripped out.
