[QUOTE="TooManyToys, post: 1559483, member: 30841"] Hartwig and I share two other forums, and we've discussed this. The hope of coming here is this forum has the most experienced 6.0L engine builders and machinists. I visit here once a week but usually to see what's happening. It looks like INT was using a twin spindle boring machine, and the setup was not right on this block. Looking over other engine examples where piston protrusion was taken showed both sides, not just the average; this is not normal. One member of the org knew a maintenance mechanic that worked the line at INT. He said the 7.3L block line was more robust, but the new equipment for the 6.0L engines was not as good. But I'd chalk it up to operator error, but I'm surprised QC did not check the squareness of the bores. This one should not have gone through. Hartwig also found some excess wrist pin bushing clearance of this low mileage block, which we know would happen from this situation. It's not bad, though. Relevant videos from a Detroit Diesel operator, just for comparison. [MEDIA=youtube]Rws4IYrp7Ek[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]g-eLFhR7MtI[/MEDIA] If you are interested in seeing what a modern automotive line looks like today, this BMW video is a good one. It shows many processes, including cracking rods, installing crank tone rings, etc. Then, at 28:10, it briefly shows the multiple spindles, head bolt tightening where all bolts are tensioned simultaneously.
