Well, Ive popped the head gasket on the passanger side rear again! Oil is getting on the cats and causing a stinky,smokeing mess. Screw the dealership, I'll fix it myself this time!
I saw in MM&FF somewhere an advertisment for better head gaskets on the 5.4's. Anybody have any info. on this? The factory one's just dont seem to hold up very well. This sucks sooooo hard. Oh well, the joys of owning a Lightning.

 

i think ford had revised their newer head gaskets to be thicker/better

 

11:47 pm!! You are aggrivated about that head leak! Hay Doug how many times you replaced yours?

 

Ford does have new head gaskets. They are better. Make sure they don't try to sell you the old ones from stock. get the 6051-AA and 6051 AB. My dealer tried to pawn off the old ones on me. Pr**k

I have not seen these gaskets myself but I was told that victor reinz makes a better gasket.
