IDK if it were me I would pull the head and check things out. If you lost power and that gap is closed on a plug that usually doesnt mean anything good.

Thought so also. He mentioned in my thread it was up there and that I needed to bump mine up more.

Hope it's not to bad when you tear into it

I lowered the timing. From the responses in my timing and afr thread. And I'm not running meth since I can't find any here. I got the intake off going to do the passenger head now. Fingers crossed

I think my best investment were header studs. Very easy to remove and I didn't have to worry about one breaking off in the head band they were the ones from eBay for $30. Working on the head bolts. These things are a pita without air tools lol. Had to completely remove the header to get to the lower bolts

When I turn the crank, when piston 2 gets to tdc it gets hard to turn and it seems like it stays there for a bit. So I'm guessing bent rod? The drivers side head is still on. When I get back from the field on Thursday I'm going to take off the procharger and head and see what I can find. But I might be looking for a new 6.0l here soon
