Well, we decided we’ll have to pull the engine whether we fix it or replace it, so it’s out.

No one likes to be found on roadside dead.
Oh let me count thy ways…
Those are way easier if you remove the intake. Ford designed them to be pulled that way.
Yeah, we realized that after the fact. Also learned that your supposed to remove the wiper cowl too.
If you need any ford specific info I have access to fords tech site when I'm at work during the week.
Cool, thank you. We pulled the head and piston from the dead cylinder and I expected to see worse from zero compression. The piston is galled and the cylinder is not happy but I expected to see a hole in it or something. Not even sure what caused it. Maybe clogged injector making it run lean? I dont know.
No carnage pics? bah humbug....

I second this bro.
They did have an injector tsb at one point. I am not sure if it was the 5.4 or both engines. I had a 5.4 with an injector that stuck open and just poured white smoke from all the gas going through the cat.
Those rings look collapsed AF. How did the cylinder fair to the scuffage?
The rings were definitely stuck. The cylinder isn’t the best, but I think we’re going to dingleberry hone it and piston slap it. The bearings look good and it ran fine for a 7 cylinder. With parts and gaskets I think we’ll be in it around 500 bucks.
Obviously we’ll get the injectors cleaned and tested too.
I welcome and appreciate any input from you guys!
Ls swap it.
That’s funny because my neighbor that does gen V swaps said “hey, a 6.2 will fit right in there!”
You might could score a running 5.4L for $500 to swap in instead. Probably just need to swap the pcm but I'm not sure. I've got '06 f150s at work that are set up both ways.
