Nice job. I've found that using a yellow Scotch-Brite Roloc bristle disc works well and fit the twist on pad just right too. The throttle on my die grinder is a bit clumsy sometimes and these do ok even with a battery drill.
Is there a difference on rockers' bridges from year to year? If so what year would be best? Also, would it be better to put performance heads in for valve springs guide and seats like hardened seats and bronze guides and tougher springs for durability? What abought lifters? Asking for a friend 🙄🤣😂🤣😆
Hi, your video is very good. I like the fact that you go step by step. A question: I have the same 6.4 powerstroke engine. Whenever it is on it emits a lot of smoke with a diesel smell. From your experience, what do you attribute this fault to?
Great video, the only step that I would question is prepping the block. I watch alot of Ron the Diesel Tech. RIP. Ford seems to want to leave the machine hatching to help give the replacement gasket some traction. Otherwise great video.
Hello dark iron family, if possible, can you give me the information on the page where I can buy the maintenance book for the 2004-2007 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel? I hope for your help, thank you.
I have question I messed up the torque sequence and loosened everything again and retorqued everything. Should instead replace the bolts and the gasket just in case and do it right?
They always go back together faster than taking em a part. Lmao, just the way it is man! Don't forget to drain the water separator when you change out the frame rail fuel filter before you drop the cab back down. Nobody likes lying under a truck on their back!
@@darkirondiesel Thanks for the reply, I was also wondering... There's a bit of a story behind this one. I woke up one day to my DPF and catalytic converter cut out of the truck, so instead of replacing them I just had a pipe welded. And then got a tuner to do a full delete. My question is, with the programmer deleting the EGR from the program, do I need the delete pipes? Or is it ok to run the way it is?
What do you mean? Delete pipes are for the exhaust so sounds like you made your own “delete pipes” by filling in the dpf that was stolen. The egr is deactivated from the tune so you can remove it or leave it in the truck, doesn’t matter much.
Have blown head gaskets on mine, looking to stud it and while I’m in there replace the pistons with the HD ones. Is there an easy way to pull the pistons and rods out while the heads are out?
Take the oil pan off, unbolt the pistons from the crank and push them up out the top of the block, but it’s kind of hard to do in the truck. Would be better off pulling the motor and putting it on a stand in my opinion
They're reliable trucks if yu delete them, tune them and keep up with the maintenance. 💯 Everyone is always quick to bash a 6 4. I have 285k on mine bulletproofed it at 200k and the only prob I had with it was a bad radiator and fan clutch. It's a strong truck.
@@anthonychiodi9173 well I bought mine and it was a border patrol truck and they totally neglected it.... it probably idled 24/7 and barely accumulated miles so maintenance never changed oil 87,??? Miles when purchased but oil took 1-1/2 hours to drain warm, like snack pack pudding coming from pan.... went through about 5 gallons of brake cleaner through heads and intake to clean up,,, had all new injectors put in and oil cooler, & front cover as well oil pump gears got 560 miles smoked main bearings had a different block rebuilt pistons and rods and all $5500 with labor..... 600 miles trans went 4500 miles later broke crank ruined block again, ordered brand new long block from Ford $5300 2 yr unlimited mile warranty 600 miles later trans went again an locked up broke flywheel ordered new trans from Ford $2970 same warranty and now I got a brand new beat up farm truck with 101,840 miles on it as of now 3rd motor and 3rd trans and as well all new it had better last this time.... completely deleted,4” straight piped,H&S mini max tuner as well studded and bulletproof........... Supposedly
@@erichussey4712 damn man sounds like you've had your fair share of problems. Where all the engines 6.4s? Yeah if yu neglect them put the pedal to the floor every time and dont keep up with maintenance you'll def have probs forsure. I bought my truck of this oil company I worked for wen they moved back down to Texas I only paid 1800 for it and it had 180,000 on motor wen I got it. Deleted everything bulletproofed it and ran a bully dog tuner. It's my work truck it hasn't given me prob beside a bad radiator and fan clutch but I dont beat it up. Hopefully it keeps going strong for me.
Would never use a pneumatic tool for deck surface. These motors in particular are particular about the flatness and surface roughness. You should also measure the piston protrusion + valve recession. Many machine shops dont bother to trim the valve stems if they deck the heads, so this could cause problems with piston to valve clearance. Its actually best to throw the stock heads away (they are garbage) and get aftermarket o-ring heads from KDD or Diesel DR.
Taking a big risk not changing the lifters , injector nozzles , oil cooler , exhaust manifold bolts . That horse turd you have is going to explode like the 4 th of july
I don’t know why you didn’t clean the engine like the small pieces of items when they were off! And all dirty and your hands are filthy like this must be the worst engine build I have seen!
Ok Paul let's see how professional you are and your perfect methods of doing this job i bet you've never even done this on an ole 302 gas engines GTFO🤣🤣
Love these full mechanical repair videos

Would like to seen you putting the up pipes on and hooking up the BP sensor it looks like a lot of wiggling around

Everyone is gonna have their own opinion for sure. I’ve watched tons of rons videos mainly about 6.0s. It’s a shame he’s no longer with us 😞
Where is the fuel rail sensor or am I getting ahead of my self?
Tengo una 2008 6.4 f-550 está liquidando aceite que me recomiendas
Great video, Nice to watch someone with that kind of skill
Thank you!

Very good video, where you get the book or pages you use for reference ??
I have question I messed up the torque sequence and loosened everything again and retorqued everything. Should instead replace the bolts and the gasket just in case and do it right?
The air tool you are using to the clean the block is the perfect tool to use I don't care what anyone says
Great job man! You made it look easy! 👍
What happens if I didn’t torque the rocker arms in the correct order?
Ya thanks that was great. Probably not as easy as you made it out to be. Great Video👍
Nice video! That blonde though 🤙😁

Not unless all fuel stuff is connected, I just lost about 10 gal...
Had any issue using those mahle black diamond head gaskets ?
Nice work, where you located?
could you please write the inorder number of the intake manifold , i could not see it
Hey man, nice Jobe with the 6.4. I have one of them that I run all year, in pretty cold weather, up north. What kind of engine oil would you suggest?
Synthetic 5w40 all year personally. I run the shell rotella

@@darkirondiesel His dpf, cat and probably dpf too ( if he has any sense ) were all "stolen "? yeah right, cmon man you know what time it is. Lmao!
You don't reuse exhaust bolts on anything. They've seen to much heat and have a high probability of snapping.

how much goes a job like that cost? I'm a first time diesel owner and I love my 6.4.
Hey there so at my shop labor alone is $2500 for this job plus parts pricing depends on what brand customer wants!

Buddy you'r as good as we've seen , look's like you give a shit !! Plus filming and talking time to detail is appreciated !! Thanks !
Thanks for the kind words!
No truck on the planet worth that kind of time money and aggravation. Not sure why anyone fools with these trucks with a 6.4
Hi how much does it cost
Dang dude u really dont clean nothing before back together?
very nicely done!! Thank you for the great explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
The mahle is usually pronounced as "mall-uh" or mall-ee" when Google translate says "may-hull" or "may-hell"
Use cooking oil for the o rings
Thats good enough good job

Where can I find a good 6.4 engine?
Kill devil diesel.
Thank you !

Nice job 👍🏻
Hooo nice I wana to learn more
Awesome video! But it's 360, not 365! Lol.
Great video very educational
Thank you!
nice job,👍👍👍👍
Good vid but 360degrees not 365 it’s not days in a year
Did I say 365?? Haha must have been a brain fart.
Chill dude. We obviously know what he's talking about
