Oh there will be comments out of the wood work

Bummer tunes pard..... Good thing you didn't get those sureflows, could only imagine who's fault that would be.

Now back to you regularly scheduled programming

Why not mix it up and go with something pius comes up with for your setup?? And, hard to tell by the pictures but is that a little contact to the side of the hole?? And how did the heads look??

Side of the hole?

There is some damage to the cylinder wall where the burn thru happened.

I dont need a new fancy turbo, the Modded H2e has worked well and taken everything I could throw at it. It just needs rebuilt, no contact to the housings, nothing other then the center section.

Side of the hole on the piston, it looks like an impact.. hard to tell in the picture tho.

No impact that I can tell. There are some light valve marks which I expected to see a bit.

LOL... Because none of the other forums (6.4,6.7) have any...

Yeah, true. 7.3 drama just seems so much gayer to me.

Thats what I was seeing. Faint little mark. But how did all the valves and pushrods look?

Push rods are all straight as the day I installed them, the valves appear fine, the heads are at the shop now being reworked.

Why the loveless for the 7.3ers lately? You know, you used to own them too. So we're a little.backwards.

Heads were dropped off tonight. They will be cleaned and magged within a day or so and go from there. There was a little bit of valve float at some time but only the cylinder with the hole, nothing major and the valves looked good I couldnt see any daylight. She will be all fixed up and back on the road in no time and will go another 100k im sure.

One question I had was on the studs, anyone have the spec for length? They have been tq'ed two times now.. also the springs, just shim them and call it a day or should we get a new set? They arent really expensive.

Just tig that hole up and put it back in

Bum deal Joe. Glad you were close to home when it happened.

I gotta say though, that that is the cleanest f'ing piston I've ever seen inside of a motor!!

Got any pics of the star patterns on the pistons?

 

[FORD7.3]

Couldnt tell from the pics of the two pistons in the pictures..

Just brake clean off the oil...

I didnt get many pictures on Sunday, when I get home I will snap some more. The burn pattern is in good shape IMHO. You can see most of the burn is in the bowl.

How did the rest of the pistons look?? How was the star pattern on them? Assuming everything was ok? Couldnt tell from the pics of the two pistons in the pictures..

Its good IMHO. I will get some more pictures this weekend assuming I can slip home.
