long story short... 2000 ford excursion v-10 had a bad head. 221,xxx miles. instead of replacing heads for $2,000 i decided to put a whole new motor in that a buddy could get for me at cost from a dealership. started 7:30 am saturday and stopped at 6:00 pm. by 10:30 am sunday morning it was running again and i am home thankning them from the couch at 12:30. if not for them it would have been at least a week long job. THANK ALL OF YOU VERY MUCH!!! great to have good friends to help on stuff like that and a shop to do it in.
