Re: "Lee's Limo" 2001 F350 crew cab 4x4 diesel
Engine is out, pressure washed, unloaded and the heads are off.
The only damage is on #8.
There are "screens" in the sheet metal intakes (just below the beer cans plugging the holes for pressure washing)
- not very fine - but they are there to catch "chunks" I suppose - not small enough chunks that could have prevented all this! >
The other bank looks just fine - in fact - you can still make out cross hatch in the cylinders - after 190k. ;D
Here's the bad one - #8
And a close up showing the cylinder damage
Here's a good cylinder in comparison
Here's the cross hatch in one of the cylinders in the other bank
this shows the even head with the injector sleeves I just installed (which ironically come with the rebuild kit)
and here is the business side of the odd head - no issues here - hopefully the valve job will be routine
I hope to get the right bolts to make mounting the short block on my beefiest engine stand possible tomorrow.
Then I can pull the short block apart.
The machine shop said to bring it in torn down completely.
