Damn, the cab has to come off to do head work?

the head gaskets can be done with the cab on but its a nightmare, taking the cab off is pretty simple and makes working on the engine so easy.

4 fuckin bolts per cylinder on a god damn diesel. WTH Inter-Trashional!!!

[KLAB]

Yeah at my old work they used to lift the whole fuckn body of the truck off the frame to do headgaskets on those. I been under there those motors are strange O.o

[SLP IROC-Z]

yup that is standard procedure to do head gaskets on these trucks, i wouldnt do it any other way. what dealer did you work at kevin/

[KLAB]

I worked at Regan Ford in Haverhill from 06 till this summer. I did detailing there. I basically helped out any department picking up cars for sales, grabbing parts, and helped out tech's in the body shop and service dept. when I had no details to do. I miss that job and learned a lot about body work there. Things just got really dead over there and they cut me back to 1 day a week so I had to leave and got a job at the carwash. Now work has picked up significantly since Walls is gone. Oh well...

[SLP IROC-Z]

haha you must have saw my truck when it was in there in 08 for a trans then. we get all of our parts from regan, they treat us well and their parts guys are pretty good. my dad and i both used to work for walls, i worked in salisbury as a salesman, my dad worked at both locations doing diesel work.

[KLAB]

You know Kenny? Hes the man!

4 fuckin bolts per cylinder on a god damn diesel. WTH Inter-Trashional!!!

If its a 6.0 doesnt that make it a ford motor not a International?

[SLP IROC-Z]

the 6.0L powerstroke is made by international, international calls it the vt365. the 6.4L powerstroke also uses 4 bolts per cylinder and holds up very well, that engine is based off the 6.0L design. do 4 bolts per cylinder provide enough clamping force? id say so, you just need to use the right hardware.

[84ta406]

Hmmm now to remember who told me the 7.3 was the last inter. motor made for ford...

[SLP IROC-Z]

the last international to go in a ford is the 6.4L due to ford and int parting ways, ford designed and built their own diesel for the next model year.

[c4boom]

we shale see I have not seen a manufacture build a good diesel yet

[84ta406]

Ahh then thats what it was he told me. Hence the new scorpion diesel?

[SLP IROC-Z]

yes scorpion was the code name for it, the official name is the 6.7L powerstroke

[Spooky]

I own a 2002 F350 4x4 7.3L and love this truck!
