  1. Well put in the new piston, lifters, and pushrods on that cylinder. Sent out the head, 4 new valves. Been up and running a couple days so far everything is o.k. Thanks again for the input.
  2. Update: Customer gave the go head to send out head and new valves, lifters on that hole. He also wanted the new piston.
  3. Glad to hear that all that planning is paying off! Good luck to you!!!
  4. The thing that usually follows is "You charged me how much to make a key?" When people like that look at what you billed them, they NEVER consider how much they have already wasted somewhere else, or destroyed themselves.
  5. The thing I am struggling with is if that cylinder had pistons hit valves then what about all the others? They all are the same age ,part numbers etc. I guess the cheap fix is new valves, lifters and pushrods in that hole. Which doesn't seem right, its the old where do you stop question I guess.
  6. More info:One of the other techs remembers this truck on the lot had a miss that went away after warmed up. The truck was then sold, that was this spring. New owner drove it out from Minnesota to Yellowstone after leaving the park it started to miss ,could only feel it at idle. After back in Minnesota he decided to have it looked at. Could this be the lot rot /rusted guides that was then driven so far that it freed up now?
  7. There just seems to be two small areas of interest at edge of piston. Two valves made half circles, one is slight dent, and the two spots of some sort of other damage at edge. (For some reason half of my picture is getting cut off when I post it here.)
  8. All 4 lifters on that cylinder have some light scratches on the body they all came out easy, rollers on bottom seem ok.
  9. Got an 06 F-350, 130,000 miles with miss. Relative compression was down 10 % Did actual check #2 150 psi all others 350 psi. Pulled head and inspect can see half circles on top of piston some small damage spots on edge also. I could see light through one of the intake valves. Pull valves one of each wobbles when rotated by hand ,clearly bent. They seem to move freely in guides now. So here is where I need some help from people that have experience with this concern. What is the proper fix? Do I get new valves for the one cylinder? Do I just clean up the others? How much can the valve seats take? Do I roll the dice and leave the piston or just replace that piston? What do you think? I put great value in everyone responses, as always, thank you!
  10. That's great, nice shed, love seeing the kids get involved too. (The best is the fist pump/directions given by the little one in pic 3) Looks like a great time was had by all.
  11. Has anyone tried to weld on a washer and nut to the broken piece stuck in the dpf, like and exhaust manifold repair? What is your source for the bottoming tap? Two local part stores (Napa,Auto Value) cant get them. Just wondering, got one I just broke the top part off, even after heating, socket like the ssm states. I think I will just grind it out and tap this one.
  12. Temp guage sitting on my box reads....
  13. 100 degrees in shop outside its 96! Dew point is down a little today at 70Hot and sticky Better than freezing!
  14. It took me that long to get the 3 broken, rusted studs out of the manifold. Not to mention the top 5 bolts that needed the flame wrench to remove. (I also did read "cool cats" post on quick removal)
  15. Glad to hear you got it. We saw a rash of VCT solenoids this spring. Like you said not with this concern.
  16. Finally found it was the RH flex joint leaking. It was blowing down on to the heat shield by the right rear corner of high press. pump cover. Thanks All!!
  17. 08 6.4 72,000 miles. On accel tip in has a high pitch whistle if go to harder accel it stops. If I feather the throttle I can get the noise to vary in loudness. All performance is fine. I did visual for exhaust leaks none. checked low press. turbo axial and radial end play ok spins smooth. used chassis ears in bay under load air rush noise at one side of the downpipe/turbo Replaced the gasket and clamp same noise. Checked cooling system press. noise present before system builds any press. I'm stuck as where to go now. Hotline said possibly turbo failure even with the endplays ok Checked in bay vgt 99% rpm 1000 can hear what sounds like air rushing noise at the area here both up pipes go to the turbo unable to pinpoint the location. Anyone have any thoughts on this? any thing would help at this point.
  18. Aaron you said it. It makes me laugh when people buy a factory hot rod and the performance updates cause NVH, then there's complaints about it. LOL I had that same conversation with sales dept. They just looked at me funny. Then got the old "guy is almost out of warranty" You have to do something.
  19. update.. This thing got diff. clutch packs and a few bottles of modifier.So far its ok
  20. I think a vacation is in order. I could shadow you at work and of course preform all test drives.
  21. Hey Brad how is the recovery going? I had to laugh when I read your post about "Finding Nemo". We have fun watching that one with the kids. Favorite line...mine-mine-mine-mine-mine
  22. I was wondering about adding more friction modifier. I have had good luck with that also but I did'nt know if these carbon fiber type would respond the same as say an F-150. Thanks Aaron!
