On the heads? The heads are off. They are not the original heads either, the dude I bought it from replaced them before he sold it. It was that extended cab green one I owned. A head gasket started leaking water into a cylinder, when I took it apart it was just the gasket. I had only put 40K or so on the truck, all the bolts came right out all exhaust bolts everything. Nothing broke. I went over the head in the area the gasket popped in with a 50X loupe and saw nothing unusual. Heads look barely used.

What I did see were massive gaps in the rings and at least .01 between the cylinder walls and pistons... that's when I found the 99 4.0 in west virginia and took a road trip. It's all documented on here somewhere. I kept the heads because I saw nothing wrong with them.

You might want to check out what new ones would cost, might be just a little more than the shipping on these LOL.
