Here we go! I built my son a new f4.6 motor last spring, broke it in well and tuned it during the fall we ran with friends at a track and truck didn't run right, thinking carb issues and I spent a lot of time messing with it, well motor didn't run hot at all just wouldn't run right. damage DAMAGE DONE.! got home and found header gasket from header to block was split, new part! and still split allowing blow by. ruined compression on new motor, anyway a few tips before you run to check. Take time to check for oil leaks and causes, check gasket for tight seal between header and pipe , check gasket between header and block, make sure all screws in head and all over motor and backplate area are tight, also check carb nuts and screws for tightness, this is now our checklist before running!
