[QUOTE="Withinshadows, post: 16330622, member: 195174"] Hey guys, this is my first or second post on this forum, ive been lurking around for quite some time. Doing research on mods and repairs that are common, ive run into a situation. I purchased a cobra in California 2003 46k miles - Silver. It seemed like the perfect deal Subframe braced kenne bell 2.4 BAP Upgraded injectors +.20 over and manley pistons I went on a whim and purchased my dream car. towed the vehicle back from California to Arizona. Then boom, 37 miles after i purchased it. The engine started knocking, Just my luck. Ive spent time pulling the motor and am in the process of rebuilding the short block ( see images) Essentially, the previous owner put cheap parts in the car, Siliconed every gasket and oring and put it up for sale. Now on to my question. My engine builder is extremely knowledgable on the Modular ford motors, but the cylinder head is a different story, i have 2 places in my driver's side cylinder head that are a red flag to me, the previous owner had done the spark plug inserts on 2 cylinders. See damage pictures [MEDIA=imgur]a/UFDc9Wt[/MEDIA] I plan on having the cylinder heads pressure tested, but im concerned about long term. What are your guys' thoughts on this, what would you guys do if it was your cylinder heads on a fresh bottom end? [/QUOTE]
