Message: [QUOTE="6.0 Tech, post: 1567231, member: 23001"] So in doing some reading on their website, i feel it reiterates the point of an a and b engine, everything the same, aside from pistons. I’m wondering if x claim was made after testing on a wore the f out motor, that needed a rebuild, and now all of the sudden with their pistons it’s x amount cleaner, etc, etc. Not many people throw a set of pistons in an engine just to do it, and therein lies the problem. I get they’ve got their test trucks and whatnot, but with the cost of yanking an engine, installing a set of pistons, and reinstalling and then testing, it tough on a company to do. For example, my boss says that an employee at $30 an hour, really costs around $100, once you factor in insurance, and all that other shit. So a typical rebuild book time on a powerstroke is around 40 hours, most guys can get it done quicker, but even if you figure 25ish hours, plus around $1000 for gaskets, fluids, misc stuff, and then the cost of the pistons, which obviously isn’t costing them 3-4K, but you’re talking all in probably around 5-6k. That’s a lot for a perfectly fresh engine that doesn’t really need anything. But sometimes it is the cost of doing business, I get that. An engine dyno would make it a lot easier, but it seemed their videos were mostly trucks on the dyno. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
