Saving A Ford 3910

Since the OP won’t listen to people with plenty of experience under their belt, I guess that I can sit in my armchair and give advice.
Every time that I’ve had part of an engine fixed- especially repairing the top end- all that you do is find the next weakest point. If you choose to redo the heads, you may as well do the entire engine at the same time. Otherwise you are just doing a half a** job and it will never be right until you finish the job.

Precisely !!!

"Normally" on the Fords, when u do the top end, they shave the head a little..{deck the head} which raises the compression..
& the bottom end doesn't hang on for very long..

We'll never hear the end result.

We'll never hear the true end result.

I don't think anyone really cares now either.

I'm not that far north. I live close to the forks where the Old Man River and the Bow River come together to start the South Saskatchewan River. Lethbridge is about an hour to the west and Medicine Hat is a little less than an hour to the east. If I drive south for an hour and a half I'm in Montana.

Yesterday was a nice day. Above freezing +10 C or so. This morning a cold front blew in and now we are below freezing -4 C. Tuesday we are supposed to be back up above freezing.

A seldom used but useful tool here is the ignore list. Handy for ridding oneself of chronic annoyances.

Btw, I have little doubt whether you know what you are doing.[/B]

What is really funny is that all you guys are sitting in your armchairs waiting for a solution to a problem that you all say does not exist, maybe it is just me, but that seems a little strange for someone who has all the experience and answers.
