I was wondering what the differnce between a regular 5.4 and a lightning 5.4 is? so if anyone could help me on that, that would be great.
Basically I have a 99 L that apparently has a stripped head bolt, wont thread into the block at all, just spins by hand. Now it doesnt over heat at all, but when in gear under light acceleration you can hear blow by(sounds like ticking) It is definately NOT a plug about to eject, already checked thoroughly. Aside from the blow by Im also losing a good amount of power. So Im thinking I need a short block but don't wanna spend to much, wondering if I can swap out a regular junk yard 5.4 block. unless anyone has a decent one rebuilt or not for sale for reasonable money.
Anyways, some info and or suggestions are welcome, thanks
