RE: cleaning the heads?
If the oil passage ways are clear, and the tensioners are not worn out, more than likely the chain has stretched. I'm not a expert in this category, I've just been there and done that. Maybe you can hang out for a while and some one else smarter than both of us will respond.

Wow.
What in the heck?
I've never seen a 4.6 head look like that.

By the look of the fender with the holes in it and the look of the burnt oil on the cam lobes. Look at the exhaust manifolds. Got hot enough to burn the rust off. You have yourself a winner. Good luck with all that. [sm=forgetit.gif]

RE: cleaning the heads?
That looks a little too serious for me... You may want to get a professionals opinion. I work with some one who used to race 4.6s. Ill show him that pic and see if he can come up with a solution. Hope he can help.
