Fixed several EDC’s, but that didn’t fix the stuttering/shuttering and lack of power.

It appears that you got it over excited. Quit rubbing it's naughty spots.
Used it to straighten out a stuck ship in the Suez Canal.
evidently got a little too hot when my son drove it with the parking brake on, and now no longer has any tension..... Grrrrr.........
You keep that Georgia pollen down there. We have enough of our own up here in SC and it’s killin me.They say the pollen count is dangerous when it goes over 125 - 150. In Atlanta today, and we’re just at the beginning of the season, it was 2,045. I’ve been distracted by the legal stuff, no time for the Rick-storation, but now I’m curious to see how many days it will take for the black and the red and the yellow stripe to completely blend under the pollen. This is two days worth:

I am assuming it was your 2003 with the 4 L. I’ve got an 87 with that 4 L, got it with a blown engine, and what everybody hammered into me was to make sure I rebuilt it with the updated heads or I replaced it with an engine with the updated heads. The original heads apparently are very prone to cracking if you overheat. Beyond that you need to ask one of these other guys who know what the hell they’re talking about. Sorry for your trouble good luck with it!
I believe the SOHC heads are quite a bit less fragile and prone to cracking than the old OHV engines were.
