6.0L Head Gasket Repair |
Too much involved for me to handle. :argh:
|
Aftermarket gasket or ford replacement? My '03 is being worked on right now?
|
looks like ford to me
|
Ford's gaskets are really good, its just the whole "not machining" the heads that sucks. You wont have a good seal with two uneven surfaces.
|
Machining the heads is a must, in many cased having the heads rebuilt it needed. We send a lot of heads out and it amazes me how many turn out to have cracks. We average about 10 head jobs a month, Barry the head tech and the owner Satya, can do the head jobs in their sleep.... the only come backs have beer in their hand LOL

i have to ask, is a re-torque required once the truck goes through a heat cycle like i hear the cummins guys doing?
|
Not required, but it wouldn't hurt. A lot of it depends on what you're doing with the truck. A guy who is just using his truck to haul an equipment trailer no way, but if you're running a 1000hp race truck, they might need retorquing quite often.
