2012 6.7 800+hp build

[Craig@MFI]

Can I ask why? not doubting just would like to know whats better about them?

Fit and finish are better plus they are made in America and not from Chinese castings
We have had 2 sets of Carrillo this month thay had to much bearing clearence and had to be sent back to be re machined

I would ditch the Carrillo Rods and go with R&R if it were my build

I second this

[Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto]

Rods, the most important part of the engine... I guess I just don't like to skimp on stuff like that....

Well that is some interesting information. Glad I put that up there then. I'll get with the customer on this one and see what he wants to do. i know fords pretty well and I know my parts pretty well but I'm still not afraid to ask for advice and on this I'm glad I did!

I went with r&r if that helps.

I went with r&r if that helps.

I did as well. They were literally about perfect as a set. Never had an issue with any R&R connecting rods.

We haven't assembled any 6.7s with Carrillos but we've done 4 6.4s with them in the last 3 months with no issues.

R&R for the win.

Someone say R&R Rods for the 6.7 Powerstroke. Amazing quality to say the least. Great group of people to work with.

 

[bigrpowr]

Mine did have poorly tapped holes for the rod bolts , almost every hole had to be chased.

odd we have assembled 15+ motors with the carrillo's and never had clearance issues.

Do you guys use carillos unless the customer wants r&r? Or how do you decide?

carrillo is what we prefer but if a customer wants R&R, Crower, Cunningham, etc we will build it with them. no issue with that.

Very cool Ross! I'd love to swing by and check it out sometime!

 

[Ross@Flyindiesel]

Will swing by man and check it out!!

Soon the motor and parts are going to be headed to my buddy Jared at RCD to start the build of the short/possibly long block and get this ball rollin. I know he as well as I will be posting some pics of the process. Gonna update when I have more info

RCD's machine shop is legit. They've built quite a few 6.7s already. The hand port job they did on my 6.7 heads feels as smooth as a babies ass.

HAHAHA nice well that's how it should be. I need to get up that way and say hi to some of my buddies in the industry just hard to get away from the shop sometimes

 

[Ross@Flyindiesel]

Well not to much progress that I can speak of other than I know the engine is in good hands. There were some parts we had to order because of the rust issue (customer let the truck sit for 2 years with a torn down motor in the back) but we are slowly getting it going. Just in for the update

 

[Ross@Flyindiesel]

Well we got a nice package in today from j-rod over at river city! time to start making progress on this build
