Message: [QUOTE="Highridin 6.0, post: 1456187, member: 28158"] I did my research before buying a rebuilt 6.0 and after talking with asheville engines I decided to purchase a "performance long block" with stage 2 camshaft from them, a decision I have regretted ever since. I had multiple issues with the motor. 1. I paid extra to have engine built with ford head gaskets, but it was shipped with the black onyx gaskets, it also had 2 different series rocker carriers but that just shows lack of attention to detail. so I had to return the long block to get it built right. 2. Immediately apon starting motor I noticed that we were getting fuel into the coolant, so I contacted asheville engines and was told that it was more than likely residual fuel in the system, but the longer I ran the motor the worse the problem got. after multiple conversations and sending pictures back and forth i was told to remove heads and send in. I also saw that the valves were hitting pistons due to having a large cam without high-rev valve springs. I sent in both heads as one had a visible crack but the other head wasn't holding pressure. Both heads were cracked. They returned me a new head as well as the head that the visible crack and was told that the cracked head was still holding pressure so it was just cosmetic. That didn't fly with me so I had to buy a new set of heads. 3. a little after my 1 year warranty was up I had a lifter stick and destroyed the camshaft, bearings, and block. I am back to square 1 after spending over $9k on this nightmare of an engine from asheville engines. I just wanted to give my experience for whatever thats worth. [/QUOTE]
