[QUOTE="TRBO VNM, post: 14056743, member: 14678"] Well, if it were my car and heads were off, the first thing I would do is put the timeserts in for 8 threads. No questions asked. Ford revised them for a reason and if they are off the car it is easy to do. Same with the head studs. Cams, I would only do them if you are willing to do adjustable cam gears and really time them correctly and change the valve springs as well. Did you check the dip stick? You checked the oil cap, but I have seen it milky there before without any issues because of condensation. If the oil on the dipstick is milky, then definite head gasket. Maybe even drain some oil and see what it looks like. Compression test is hard to tell with head gasket depending on how bad it is because it can reseal. Which looks like it did since your numbers appear ok. What about your expansion tank? How does that look? [/QUOTE]
