DUDE NICE RIG! I can't believe I haven't seen you yet. I guess youtube's spying does pay off...this came into my recommended vids. I got a 01' PSD Super Duty SRW f350 longbed 4x4. Always loved OBS trucks too!
No, it spun the rear bearings for 7 and 8 and comprised the interference clearance at the valves which caused piston to valve contact.. If it had valve float trust me all of them would have contact patterns..
Alexander Elrod I agree! I had a few theories as to why but I’d been leaning toward the sudden change in tolerance when the counter balance broke off the crank shaft.
Have you pulled your low pressure pump and inspected the cover for damage causing low pressure on the bottom end as well.. If it snapped the crank too you will need to get it linebored as well.. The tune was obviously not working as it should and caused wayyyyy to much fuel pulse width at low rpm .. These things break cranks
Alexander Elrod the engine has been totally rebuilt with a new block and crank. New front cover, new lpop, etc. Rods, main studs, girdle, cam, and so on. Believe it or not, truck had minimal pulse width in the tunes. I’m thinking the combo of injectors and turbo caused the damage.
Why does your turbo flange look like that.? Ime looks sideways man it's a mission to remove the turbo. I got the 2 top one those 15 nuts and rear 10mm from the pedestal anhh
You're not making me feel warm and fuzzy inside.... I just ordered a bunch of stuff from Irate this week. It will be interesting to find out what the root cause was of this. I went with beehive springs due to Maier's recommendation. I really don't want the same thing happening to me. I'm in Bradenton so hit me up if you ever wanna talk shop. Mine is a '96 CCLB dually.
@ 1:37 Oil feed line for the turbo charger? Ummm the oil is fed through the turbo pedestal, there is no "oil feed line" on a 7.3PSD..... Or do you have a non stock turbo on that? Man I'm sure that is way easier with help pulling out, I've never had any help pulling a 7.3... Careful with those HF stands, I know a guy that had one fail with a 454 on it. Fun to watch video. I've got a 7.3 with almost half a million miles on it still runs and tows like a champ... Well did, I need to finish rebuilding the D80 that self destructed on me,. IF you are near Johnson City TN, I've got 2 good cranks... And other 7.3 parts, I've parted out quite a few.
Yes! Truck does have an aftermarket T4 turbo mounting system from Irate Diesel Performance. The new pedestal blocks off the old turbo drain and utilizes a braided line from the original feed point. The oil drains into the old mechanical fuel pump mounting spot. That's good to know, I'll let you know!
@@The73Garage My bad friend. Subbed can't wait to see you get her back to whistling. I've got a T444E 7.3 in a 04 year bus and the mechanical pump is on those engines... THis was the first video of yours I saw so I was ignorant to your setup. Happy building and take care.
@@The73Garage i appreciate you responding and all your content!!! Nobody really does vids on 7.3 ! I have same year and kind of truck. S369, t4, 250 100, bigger alternator. This was my dads truck and Full Force did all the work on it. But now I have it and want to do the work myself. Still trying to figure out what hpop I have and fuel pump to further get to know the truck. Is that the original rear end you have?
What size engine hoist did you use? I’ve been lookin at pick one up to pull my motor out, I was hoping that I can get away with using a one ton hoist since they’re over a hundred bucks cheaper. I’ll have the core support out so it won’t have to go up too high
@@The73Garage If the bearings look good, then the only two things, I could think of, that could break a forged crank would be hydrostatic pressure or a metal flaw. Were you using water/methanol injection?
I had an Advance Auto balancer on there that dry rotted and I replaced it with the same one. They didn't design that balancer for high performance LOL I've heard the same thing, I'm going to be running an ATI balancer this time.
Nothing wrong with fluid dampener just don't try to balance motor with the dampener it throws the balance readings off it will balance it's self, but balance everything else
Cranks are cheap.That block should be fine.Main studs n the girdle kit will help the bottom end and if you do a partial block fill u won't have so much coolant left in the block if you have to take it out again.
It's sucks that you blew your motor but nobody else has videos of 7.3 builds which is sweet.looking forward to your next video
It helps if you pull the coolant plugs on the block on both sides
buy a small kiddie pool to put under the engine on the stand

Comp 910 will still float valves, you need bee hive springs my friend
Damn. You don’t see that failure very often. It all makes sense though.
Daaaamnit man. That sucks. Pretty cool of you to post your F up tho.
Why not use cat litter

Puppy training pads under your engine stand are a god send during tear down ;)
Who builds a 7.3 tha cat handle a tuner and kc300 turbo ! My engine is toast !
Lovin the content man keep it up!
Can I pay Y’all to work on my 1993 f350 power stroke turbo diesel🥺

Stupid is as stupid does. If you want to race you should build a racing engine.
Really stupid
All cranks look like that from the heat treating process to harden the bearing surface also what hp you at?
matt Rush you are correct! Right around 600hp.
Keep up the awesome content 🤘🏼

Do you have traction bars? Having trouble trying to find some
I do! Mine are from Greer Fabrication.
Great vid sub subscribed this posting!!
Gotta DIT almost done with a 680hp build
Keep up the correct knowledge on the tube !! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I’m pretty sure there’s drain plugs on the sides of the block!
Holy moly! Wonder why the hold down but backed off? All the vibration from the counter balance?
phil posada that’s what I’m guessing!
I would guess: he didnt tighten it last time. the pickup fell to bottom of pan restricting oil flow, the mains got starved and cooked the crank.
@@xxxmikeyjock I would guess: you didn't watch the whole video.
Frankie seems to be the one who knows his shit
Where did you get your intake manifolds?
Irate diesel!

@@chrismonroe56 yes rear is original, has a Yukon ring and pinion gear with a grizzly mechanical locker in it!
Did my valves float if I hit 4grand on a bone stock motor?
I have a 7.3 pan 1,000lb habor frieght stand, let me just say its flexing

Man, I seen your crank on Instagram. My condolences lol
Nice Hat! #Jelibuilt
Brian Jelich always reppin!
So, was the heat damage cause by oil starvation?
Nice video. Not to much detailed info.on the 7.3PSD out there.
Untrue, loads of us have 7.3 videos. I've made several videos on various stuff with them and watched a ton of them as well.
@@PatrickBaptist detailed videos
Hey just curious, how many miles did the truck have before the engine went?
Do you have a link or where you got the engine stand for one of these?
It’s a one ton harbor freight engine stand!
What did the main caps look like?
You had previously studded the motor?
Viking Child main caps are decent. I had metal in the oil a year ago so I think that contributed to a lot of the wear.
@@The73Garage
If the bearings look good, then the only two things, I could think of, that could break a forged crank would be hydrostatic pressure or a metal flaw.
Were you using water/methanol injection?
What kind of harmonic balancer do you have on that? I've heard that some units with the fluid dampener brand break crankshaft
I had an Advance Auto balancer on there that dry rotted and I replaced it with the same one. They didn't design that balancer for high performance LOL I've heard the same thing, I'm going to be running an ATI balancer this time.
@@The73Garage cool yeah I would go with ATI over the Fluiddampner
Nothing wrong with fluid dampener just don't try to balance motor with the dampener it throws the balance readings off it will balance it's self, but balance everything else
This could have been result of lots of thinks, bad tune, pushed hard and ran hot the list goes on but definitely not common at all

I love using a copper magnet for those crush washers
;)
Me gusta!!

What size track bars do you have?
jesus ibarra they’re 6ft weld on!
😯😯
Cummins swap time
engine not motor
Richard Thompson you are correct. I have a bad habit of that lol
Ford Engine Company sounds incorrect.
