Yeah check all those things before don't wana take anything apart if you don't need to. I know I wouldn't. Could be the valve stem seals. If it is upon start up and really gunning it it could be. Dont have to take the heads off to replace them.

well, I hope you didnt pull the heads for no reason... you know.. if it kept flooding, it probably trashed the set of plugs in it.. probably just need new ones... ;-)

OK, well, I ripped the plugs out and did a compression check... Somethings definatly wrong with the drivers side of the block... http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/confused.gif
