TIP: wait until you remove the injectors before trying to remove the glow plug harness. Then using a "lady foot" pry bar, push the connectors out from the inside.

Looks good! We are just finishing a 6.0 at work right now. Rebuilt cyl. heads, ARP studs, egr and oil coolers. All replacement parts were from the Ford dealer. The guy that owns this truck is a farmer, and beats the truck.

As of right now we are at 98%. Wrong oil filter showed up, so we could not run it, and the rear bench needs to go back in.

Fortunately, I was not assigned this job. I was doing a head gasket on the Jeep in the second picture.
