Drained the water out of the radiator last night and there was a bunch of black shit and some oil in the water. Combined with the low compression on cylinders 1,3, & 4 it's all pointing to a head gasket. I'm going to pull the intake manifold tonight and probably get the heads off sometime this weekend. I'd like to take them to a machine shop before I put them back on and was hoping someone had a recommendation for a good one here in Houston.
Also, I'm not too worried about pulling the heads off, but it would be nice to have someone who is familiar with the 4.6 to help put them back on. Would be willing to pay for help with money, beer, food, or women(men?).
