Well I got some real shitty news, I was with my dad doing some high speed runs to about 120 the other day, the problem was I didn't have alot of gas in it when we did the runs, after about the fourth run my dad said the pedal got soft at about 115-120, afterwards we filled it up with gas and took her home. From that point on I started to hear a loud ticking some coming from the passenger side head. Well after some research on the site I found what the culprit could be and took it to ford. #2 piston is in bad shape, it has scratched the side of the cylinder wall but not to bad though, there was some black gunk on top of the piston. The ford tech said the head still looks pretty good, springs look good. What do you guys think I can do in terms of fixing it?? I was planning on replacing the piston with new rings etc. And buttoning it back up and doing a compression test and making sire the valves are good, what do you think? Should the car be good to go after that? Any help would be great guys.
By the way, when the car was ticking, it still had full power and ran great, i only drove the car maybe 20 miles after the ticking sounds occured.
