[QUOTE="FordFanStan, post: 6874638, member: 24501"] You're actually not that far from us, maybe an hour or little over. Give me a call and we can discuss your options, but I don't think your previous diagnosis was correct. Did that mechanic explain why he thinks it needed a valve job, or what the cause was? What were your compression readings on the dead cylinder and on the others? Depending on what you actually need done, if you need a rebuild, your very cheapest options would be to find a used longblock in decent shape and have someone swap it in. The next cheapest would just buy a reman longblock from Ford, they do come with a 3/36,000 warranty, but I don't like this option because I have seen so many issues with remanned engines. Then you could always have your engine rebuilt or buy a built one. I would recommend getting a second opinion though first. Stan [/QUOTE]
