That was on the side with the pyrometer probe.

For those of you that don't know, The flame travel in the combustion chamber of a 6.0 should stay inside the "dish" in the center of the pistons. In modified conditions, the pistons aren't fully at TDC, and the flame travel comes out of the dish. FMC says that daisy markings are reason to deny warranty.

Mine had them and i have no mods, and bought the truck new and have never had mods

That cylinder looks like a foot deep!

Who makes the determination as to whether or not the warranty will be denied? I have never modded my truck and do not intend to. How would I ever prove that I have not modded my truck? Seems pretty crazy. Guilty until proven innocent. There must be other things that have to be taken into consideration other than a single data point. Is modification the only means by which those marks are made?
On a separate note I moved from CT to the Saratoga Springs area of NY. If I ever had any issues with my '07 I'd be hauling it out to Jewett City to see Dave. Anybody know of a good diesel tech in the area???

That is just an example of some things we look at. Will those marks alone be grounds for denial.......probably not. If those marks are there with other indicators, there would be more discussion. I showed MikeStoke the marks on his pistons, and explained them. If you have something like 6lpwr's truck, yeah, it's probably gonna get denied.

that's good to hear....

Vince,

What do you think caused MikeStoke's stock truck to have daisy marks on the pistons?

We'll see what the insurance company let's me get away with.... Hah! I'll probably be back in Connecticut by the time I'll be needing any major work. That's what I'm shooting for anyways.

Vince,

That is caused by the flame travel, the arguement is if it can happen under stock configuration. Personally, I believe it is possible.

I am just curious. As a tech when you see something like this who do you report it to? Who makes the decision to bump it up the ladder and get the ford warranty people involved?

Have you ever had a customer try to bribe you in not reporting something?

I've always said, your best friend, or your worst enemy is your tech when you go into the garage. The tech doesn't have to report anything. There is an on line form that the tech can fill out if he so desires. It goes to Ford, then the FSE comes out to verify your findings.

That is kind of what I thought. Thanks.
