6.0 Liter Ford Powerstroke - RH Head Installation

[CLaM734]

Hey russ. Does your ratchet handle have a part stamping number by any chance? My dealer is not able to find a 40" handle. Thanks

[freakshow2000]

never buying a 6L, I'll find an older 7.3 and not have to worry about all this.....

@freakshow2000

I can understand that, there is the 6.7lit and it have been outstanding and extremely reliable!

Just out of curiosity, do you have a digital or analog angle gauge? Do you prefer using marks instead? Love watching these videos alot, and I will admit, I am not much of a Ford guy, but I would still kill for a 97 or so f350. Honestly, one of the best bodystyles of any truck ever made.

@killercan10

My 3/8" torque wrench has a digital angle gauge built in. For bigger job, I use a mechanical gauge with dial for angles. I prefer to just mark the head bolts on diesel engines. Especially on this engine with the 3 sequences. It's too much for that small tool, being a 1/2 drive and I use 3/4 drive for torquing.

Just wondering are you on your own now or still at dealership?

[srmastertech]

@acwizzard

I was in an independent shop for a while. As of now, I'm back at a dealer!

I really enjoy your videos! You are such a wonderful person to take the time to capture, edit, and upload this material. I have plans to do so much work to my truck and I know your videos are going to be such a huge help. Thank you very much and I wish you the very best in all your future endeavors.

@jerbrerizz94

Thanks for the very cool comment!! I really appreciate your support and I would like to follow with your work!

Also why use head bolts? Thought studs bulletproofed the 6.0?

[srmastertech]

@hondatuner88

Studs help, a lot, but nothing is bulletproof. It all comes down to how much money the customer can spend. They make the final decision, I just put it together right!

[hondatuner88]

I'm waiting for them stock TTY bolts to snap!! Good video!!

[srmastertech]

@hondatuner88

They wont snap. You can push them beyond their yield, and they lust feel like it loosens up.

[jboydmv90]

Did you us new head bolts? Great Video!!!!!!

[srmastertech]

@jboydmv90

Yes, torque to yield bolts are one time use. The head bolts are supplied with the Ford head gasket set.

[joeuxi]

how many foot lbs do you think is all that when you are all done with the big head bolts

[srmastertech]

@joeuxi I would guess that the torque feels around 260 to 300 ft-lbs. I would bend the bar of 3' 1/2 drive Snap-On Ratchet!

[srmastertech]

@soccrplayer209

I was offered a job with UTI, but I make more in a Dealer!

[srmastertech]

@mwd92

There is a program with Ford and your local dealers. It is called the Asset program where a dealer sponsors you to enter a 3 year course, or you can try UTI, there in multiple places from California, Houston and so on!
