That is right. I am showing yall but also would like some input.

That is the type of input i would like. Replacing the heads (yes both) is not cheap. Not sure how much to just replace the valves (did not even know that was an option). The labor alone hurts. I am very close to just selling the car and just let the new owner know what is going on and let them decide how to fix it. This is very expensive for me to fix, around 4k just to replace both heads (that is with labor) then i would want to do the head cooling mod and a tune (if i do a tune i might as well throw on a upper pulley at least. the car is stock right now) that is around 5k-6k

Any input would be great.

The pistons are the cheapest part in the engine. If you gonna pay for labor etc then I would put a set of pistons in it BUT ford wont do that.

Ford fix for things is replace everything so they are selling you on a set of heads which in turn only need a couple parts replaced and machined down and they would be good to go.

If you want to get rid of the car let me no, as long as it isn't yellow.
