Hi Bert, I think that cylinder was at TDC already. When you moved the piston, I could see that crosshatch in the cylinder at one point.👍👍 That bore scope is pretty cool. Good luck fixing this Bert. This was Not one of Fords better ideas! Have a great day. 👍🇺🇸👍
Thanks Tim, My phone stopped because it said, "NO storage ". However the tools I used did exactly what they were supposed to do. The one thing I did, that I wished I hadn't was use WD 40. that made it much more difficult to get the chips out of the cylinder. Considering the head is made out of aluminum, I think not using any kind of lube would be better. However, I watched one gentleman he used grease to catch the chips. Still a few chips went into the cylinder. I just think doing the procedure dry would be better. Using air pressure to blow out the chips worked. For the chips that I couldn't get out, I taped a short paper towel on the end of my rubber hose and was able to get about 92% of the chips out. Before I put the insert in I started the engine and let it run for about 30 seconds. I checked the cylinder again and it looked good. I don't understand why Ford knew they had problems with those heads, and didn't try to fix them. If I ever rebuild the engine, I would either put the steel inserts in all the spark plug holes, or have Ed, do it. Sir, thanks for watching . I've cleaned out a lot of pictures/videos I don't look at or watch much so hopefully it doesn't happen again.
