I squeezed the head down a little bit last night. Torqued the head bolts to 85 then 100 ftlbs. Kinda difficult to get the bolts next to the firewall. You'd think Ford would give you another inch to work with back there.
Fired up the truck and the amount of air coming out is a lot less, but still there. It's oily and I wonder how much of the "oil-burning" I'm getting with this engine is simply lost oil from the head gasket problem.
Oh well, the trip will not be done in the F350, it will be done in the Mazda MPV with a handy newly fabricated hitch. BTW - I will be picking up $2600 worth of turbo stuff today for the truck and I have 2 faulty engines. Oh and the go-kart that I made for my kids was stolen last night. Wa wa wa, yeah I know bring in the violins. Pissed:icon_mad:
