Thanks Hemlock ....,I'll pull the valve covers off and have a look and see if i have one exhaust valve hanging low all the time ...
I don't smell any gas at the exhaust...? I don't want to drive it because I was told that the pushrod might not be oiling that rocker and that might do more damage?? Is that possible?
I can't turn the engine over with both valve covers off because all the a/c stuff and serpintine belt have to come off...can I do it by hand? will that get the same effect?

P.S. I wasn't trying to insult anyone,it's just that all my friends drive chevys and they always sit around drinking when I'm working on my 5.0's telling me "stop wasting your time with that ford crap".., never helping because it's a "FORD"
So I acually don't "trust" them, they are Always pulling my leg because I don't Know much ...yet...

Thanks again to "Roadwarrior","rwhite65" and "Hemlock"
