I recently replaced my engine by myself in my garage. It's actually quite easy to pull the engine without removing the cab. Pull the front clip/radiator stack and bumper. pop the 4 front cab bolts out and jack the cab up 4 inches just enough to get a 4x4 block in to hold it up. This gives you...

50ish foot pounds:)

Got another quick question. I can't seem to find anywhere what the Torque specs is for the 4 bolts that mount the engine mounts to the block. Anyone have any idea? The new bolts that go into the side of the new blocks are 12mm i believe. Thanks

Also got another question. So I bought a brand new short block from ford which has a few differences in the block from my 2015. So does all the new short blocks come with the updated rods and steel pistons? And if so Are those much stronger?

Thanks for your help. That’s kinda what I was figuring. But where I am messing with a brand new short block I want to make sure I do everything exactly right

Also, I am going to follow the recommended method for torquing the rockers down. Seems a tad confusing. Is there a simpler way to just torque the rockers down and go? The method I am reading says turn the crank to tdc for Cyl 1 which is 3:40 on the front crank dowel pin.

I don’t believe they took much off. Gonna put the heads on tomorrow to check clearances. Hoping for the best

I am currently in the process of swapping a new ford short block into my 2015 6.7. I took the old heads off my original engine to a reputable Machine shop, and they recommended for them to resurface and do a valve job on both cylinder heads. I realize ford doesn't recommend resurfacing the...

Hey my 2015 6.7 decided to bend a rod and trash the block and i am in the market for a new motor. I am trying to locate a short block and it seems they are extremely hard to get ahold of right now. I have contacted a few reputable shops and they are all months out. Does any of Yall know anyone...

You were right sir. Should have done a compression test to start with. My shop ran a relative compression test and cylinder 6 is showing low. Shop is saying it’s making a noise in the top end and could be a bad rocker arm. I am up to the task of pulling the valve cover off myself. This doesn’t...

I did not program the injector. I am still throwing the same codes as before. I feel like even if the injector needed reprogrammed it wouldn’t be showing the same exact symptoms and codes as the bad injector would it?

A little update. I popped a new injector in on cylinder 6 fired it up and still doing the same thing. Strange thing is it’s not showing the codes it was before. No cel on the dash and missing and smoking bad.

I dont know where the nearest one is. Tempted to buy an injector for cylinder 6 and swap it out

Thank you for your replies but the blow by is definitely okay. Very low.

No work has ever been done with that cylinder or injector and the crankcase pressure is low and not puffing. This has me concerned for sure. I would like to get lucky and it just be the injector but it doesnt seem like a common issue with the 6.7s
