Hopefully it will be ok. I just turned the motor until the piston dropped a couple inches and wiped it clean with a lint free cloth covered in WD40.Originally Posted by magnethead
yea there's no easy or clean way to clean it up without pulling the piston out of the motor.
I got the new head on. Hopefully I can find time in the next week or 2 to get the rest of it bolted back together.
It's been kind of hard finding time lately. We've got a little girl due here in a couple months so most of my time is going towards getting the world ready for her...

I got a reman head from RockAuto and have been driving it as a daily driver since. I've got about 40,000 trouble free miles on it so far. I do burn a little bit of oil. Guessing from the valve guides on the head with almost 200k miles on it. But not enough to tear into it again.Originally Posted by ShelbySRT

I've got some cams from an 08 4.7 sitting in the garage and will likely swap them in along with the 08 intake manifold and a custom tune if I ever get around to replacing those valve guides.
