Ranchero was sitting in driveway idling when it developed a miss ... We detected a couple intake valves stocking ... ( Car has been in Barn for last 10 years ! )  We pulled both valve covers and GUESS WHAT ?????????????????     VALVES WERE STICKING !
  • We removed Distributor ... Exhaust and intake manifolds and BOTH HEADS ... Our e-bay visitor was AMAZED when we had both heads on workbench in only 1 1/2 hours ... ( We have pictures showing everything ) BOTTOM
  • LINE ... Heads looked very FRESH ... Almost no carbon ... THIS 260 V8 looks like it had a VALVE JOB within 5,000  to  10,000  miles  !   (((  LOW MILES however 10 years of sitting )))   The only problem is ( fuel ? ) VARNISH  ON VALVE STEMS  ! 
  • We spent the SAME LABOR  ( and parts/gaskets) as if we were doing another VALVE JOB ... We removed all 16 valves  ( 8 intake and 8 exhaust )  cleaned valves / cleaned heads  / ran a reamer down valve guides and did a complete re-assembly .   While we had  the heads off we cleaned intake manifold and painted FORD BLUE ... both valve covers and painted FORD BLUE ... New gaskets ...  Installed both heads ...Torqued both heads to Factory Specs ...Adjusted valves ... Installed and torqued both exhaust manifolds and intake manifold set in distributor and set timing  !   Fan belt had a fray and couple cracks so we replaced fan belt !

Sounded fine and RAN like it was parked yesterday  !   We did not want anyone to buy this Ranchero ... and discover that valves had become STUCK due to VARNISH from sitting 10 years  !  My partner and I want to donate our 6 hours labor ... and gaskets etc ... as a  BONUS to this auction !  If we relist Ranchero ... we will raise our RESERVE on re-list ... We have had two Mustang customers offer us $ 1500 for 260 V8 motor and the 4 Speed Borg Warner Transmission since it would be a numbers correct package for an early Mustang  !   (that was before we discovered the motor had had a recent valve job and before we cleaned varnish from valves !  )
