Anyone else blow a head gasket
Has anyone else blown a head gasket? Is this pretty common? Mine was blown with the stock pully on, do they just replace the gasket or the head to? thanks

Chad, I'm sorry to hear that. Is it the passenger side oil leak? or combustion pressure in the radiator?
I understand the passenger side oil/coolant leak can be the result of a poor casting of the block.

HI!... The regular 5.4's have aluminum heads too. Actually they have the same heads + cams as the lightning 5.4's. At least all "P.I" "99" and up do.

Chad, I know that there is a TSB covering some 5.4 blocks, including the Lightning. Apparently there is a defective casting on some engines. You might check Blue Oval news. You might find it there.
