That would be amazing if you can get me some measurements! I appreciate you considering shipping it, but I'm probably further ahead to make my own, and have in incase I get my hands on more 6.0/6.4s. The trend is that this won't be my last... haha Feel free to text the pictures if you still...

Update Pistons got milled down, 0.020" got taken off them all. Clearances are now between 0.040-0.050" Engine is about 75% assembled, waiting for a front cover to come in so I can finish up the the rest of it. Does anyone own or have the ability to get their hands on a rear main seal installer...

Thank you for the reply, it's reassuring hearing that number from Geoff as well. I've read in a few places that min protrusion is 0.008", so thats new to me. If I take off 0.020" off the pistons, that will leave me with 0.013" protrusion and bump my intake clearance to 0.035"

Rechecked all measurements: Piston protrusion checked with dial ind= 0.033" Valve recession = 0.025" Head thickness = 3.735" I've made myself a set of solid lifters using round stock and shims, and bought some comp cams adjustable pushrods. Set pushrods to zero valve lash, and rolled it over...

So I've working out of town since November and the engine progress has been slow. I got my bottom end all together and mocked up a cyl head but have ran into some issues. I am running test springs on #4 cyl and clearances are tight. Originally I had tack welded a couple old lifters to avoid...

Everything is coming along good, got almost all my parts ordered and block/heads are finished now. Pretty well stuck to my original plan, WDI 205/30s, Gear*ead tunes, Kc stage 2, BD mani's, Colt stage 2 cam, RCD valve springs, Oringed heads, pushrods...etc etc Machine shop just finished up with...

I'm going to go with the Johnsons, no sense in building an engine to fail again. Any thoughts on me going to a KC 68 with 205/30s? Seeing as I'll be running a stage 2 cam and most likely ported intake mani and BD exh manis I should be spooling it quicker. Still want ability to pull large 5th...

Well, there’s the damage. Ate the cam obviously and needle bearing went through my LPOP so the front cover may need to be done. What I want to know is how to keep these lifters from failing again.. this is a low mileage engine and looks like it was really well maintained. Only one of 16...

In parts alone it's around $15K (CAD) You guys in the states could probably knock 5K off that easily. I can't imagine someone doing an engine and having to pay for labor on top of that! Any vendors want to partially sponsor me? ;) I'd be more than willing to promote up here! Anyways.. I seemed...

Got bone stock 6.0 with 118xxx miles that is making metal so I'm prepping for a mild build, I'm suspecting lifter/cam failure but don't have any symptoms currently(other than the metal..). I'm looking for some input on general modifications and mostly supporting mods. My plan is to replace...

Thanks for the reply, I will have a look at the website I finally got around to stripping the block. Found the pistons are Mahle, thinking that Ford wouldn't be using them for OEM pistons??? If they are aftermarket, should I reuse or go maxxforce? Also found the rod bearings are starting to...

Yikes, I just read both your threads on him. I will be staying away. It's amazing hacks like that stay in business. Anyone seen reasonably priced overhaul kits elsewhere? It's cheaper than buying everything separate and I would end up with lots of doubles buying separate. Hate to say it but...

Whys that? I'm betting most of the kits are from the same companies unless its OEM Also cam and crank should be out tomorrow

I've been looking at this kit http://dynamicdiesel60.com/6-4l-power-stroke-diesel-engine-overhaul-rebuild-kit/ Which is why I was hoping to use those H.G. but if it's not worth it, I'll go OEM This will be a stock performance engine aside from an Edge on level 1/2 and will be driven super...
