Have you washed it recently? IIRC there is a special drip-tray to stop water from getting on the COPs for cyl #4 i think

Sounds like a load of s*** to me. Did you get a second opinion from another mechanic not related to a dealership?

I call BS as well.. Take it to a non dealership shop that's reputable in the are have them check it out.. Make sure they do a compression test as that should tell if its for bad valves..

Oh and the dealer shouldn't be telling you what they "THINK" is wrong.. They should compression test it before telling someone something like that...

I got to thinking when I first got truck I had a gas smell in cab took it back to them they said they suggested plugs..yes ford keeps using fancy words on me. So I took it to the local ford dealer and had them test it same results needs plugs..so I had them change them okay...two days later pick it up and hmmm now more issues..so if I bought the truck..had a smell fixed what they told me was the problem..and two tests later and a set of new plugs and they didn't come up with the diagnosis of valves till after they changed plugs out...hmmm..im thinking who f'd up..cause original test said plugs were bad...no where in two tests..two dealers did either one say valves or head issue till after the plug change. And they think im a dummy.
