Truck Coming Your Way, Vince

Theres Your Problem!

virtually no wear (still see the crosshatches and piston part #

With 167,000 miles, that's impressive! Were those tops of those pistons that clean, or did you clean them up?

I ran a rag through there, but nothing else. Theres a little bit of oil seepage around the glow plug connectors.

right way to check for warped heads

 

[blacksnapon]

wrong way to check for warpage

 

[Beachbumcook]

OK... so I am not a mechanic... is the difference that your checking vertically rather than horizontaly? By checking up and down by each valve, you can see where it is "warped" and when checking along the long axis it is not as accurate?

Is that the point your making Vince.... if so... I got it...

Give me a star for the day!!!!

Vince is that a fuel crossover line I see on the end of the Head.

Nope, the only things hanging off the heads, one has the ebp tube still attached, the other is a ground cable.

Vince, could you see any evidence as to where the exhaust gases were getting into the cooling system? Any chance when you get to that point, you can tell us how many hours are on the engine?

Usually, when you pull off the heads, the gaskets will stick to both the head and the block. The result is, the gasket is damaged. Because of the multi-layer steel construction, its very difficult to visually see defects. I'll see if I can find some "hidden" information.

pressure testing the egr cooler

 

[Blue Goose]

This thread is like sitting in on a 6.0 clinic...

 

[Beachbumcook]

It's better than those Ford/Motorcraft you-tube videos I have seen... how boring.

Vince... you should publish yuor own "How-To" book based upon the "real world" way to check and fix a 6.0L PSD motor!!!!

When will it be available on Amazon?????

If I gave up all my secrets, I'd have to kill all of you!

 

[blacksnapon]

The fittings to pressurize the egr cooler are actually for a 6.4 but they work quite nicely for a 6.0.

 

[Beachbumcook]

I think Vince should apply to be the head mechanic/engineer at Ford corporate.

Maybe what they need up there is some "real-world" mechanic who "thinks outside of the box" and gets things done... fast and right!!!

Some engineer in Deerborn is upset since Vince is using a part made to test the 6.4L on the 6.0L... amazing!!!!!!

Vince, when are you coming back up to Kansas City, lets have dinner?
