Both exhaust valves on 5 and 6 were bent. ordered some new ones should be in in the next couple days...

Well at least you're getting a diagnosis. Beats chasing a mystery.

Is the 5.4 an interference engine?

Yeah the 5.4 is interfering with with my truck running LOL

 

[Ridgerunner]

Sounds like you will be up and running soon.

Ok got the valves replaced, head is back on, timing chains back on and did a compression test. Good to go. got the entire front end of the motor bolted up. All I have to do is bolt up the blower today, plumb it in and then try to fire her off.

Tentatively have the truck scheduled for dyno on Friday the 12th in St. Charles. Hope to get it buttoned up this week.

I have to make a few brackets for my intercooler and get the front end put back together, but I think I am down to about 3 hours of work and I can pull her back out of the garage.

Then to get her inspected and re-licensed. and we are good to go...

Funny I have owned this truck for almost 6 years and of that 6 years, of making payments mind you, I have probably only driven a total of 3 years in the truck. Man I like to play too much! LOL but by god it is paid off in Feb of 11.
