I didnt think the 5.0 was an interferance engine, meaning that when you do have a timing problem at no time should the valves come into contact with the pistons. That is of course with a stock type setup. You would still have no compression as the timing would be so far off you couldnt build cylinder pressure. Anyone know for sure?
