hello, im posting this to help my friend josh

my friend and i wanted to port and polish the heads of his 06 f150 so we did some reserch to see what we needed to use. we read that you can sand blast the heads so thought we would go that way. after doing it the truck runs like crap and has low compression. we dident want to take the motor appart to port is as we have no real tools so we decided to put the sand in the intake and let the motor do the porting for us. we had to go slow and the truck had a hell of a time staying started. my question is dose he need to replace his rings or port the heads some more, diffrent sand, or what? we also knew there would be sand in the motor after this so we took the drain plug out of the oil pan and ran the hose through it to clean it out and put in 3 extra qts. of oil to help re lube every thing. its now hard to start and runs like crap and really wont idle. any ideas? i know little about cars but my friend josh is used to working on old fords and says that its normal.


thanks

are you sure, we only got in about 3/4 of a 25lb bag in with in 2hrs. i thought if we put any more in we would go to far and ruin the heads.   i hope it dosent need rebuilt as i dont think he could afford the gasket kit right now.

to the guy whos post got removed

lol, keep telling your self that. my ss/t will run low 9's on the blown 408 stoker motor I built and dident do half bad on the stock 5.9. I hate to break it to you but when it comes down to it, silverado is the best, ram comes next, then ford. look in the bright side ford still kills the toys and Hondas pathetic excuse for a truck. the only thing i will say ford has on dodge is a better trans.

sorry that i just said a few sins on here so to speak but i hate it when people talk crap on the internet.

We used to use our Dodges (before we traded'm off) as mortar mixers all the time.. Maybe add some gravel and cement to the mix and start a concrete pumping buisness?

we used to go wheeling in our fords till we got tired of that chevy having to come pull us out.-not even a joke or a lie. 

i still like ford trucks though. as long as its an american truck then it we can beat the hell out of um and they just keep coming back for more.
