Wow, that's some tuneup! I used to think the Furd 5.4 gas motor was a good choice in an F-150 because it had a somewhat long stroke with good lower rpm torque for a small gasser V8 and had three valve heads for rpm capability as well. I reversed that opinion when I learned about the spark plugs being stuck in the heads.

No Furds in my future, gas or diesel!
