**edit**

Just realized the report didnt state what went wrong

My cylinder head ( forgot if it was right or left ) had a manufacturing defect in it. Somehow there was extra metal in the casting that lead to crankcase fues forcing their way past the valve covers....i think that was how the shop foreman explained it to me

Mustangmaster

Wow, that's incredible. Hope that's not my problem.

freaknazty

That in itself is too ironic to even crack a joke at .

digitalcos

Yes. There's a plastic shroud covering the area where the fuel filter is. Finally managed to find good pics for ya. Note for whatever reason though, that the first pic on this page is upside down. Can't imagine why. Here it is correctly oriented.



I can tell ya from my experience, getting the shroud off was kind of a b!tch. It might be easier to just remove one side just to be able to check for a leak.

Yea, natural selection going on here
when his stang goes up in one big fireball....

Stealership or heaven for you, you make the choice....

Mustangmaster

Thanks Digitalcos, don't know if I'll go messing around with that or not.
