Picked up the truck for 15k had zero mods and wasn’t studded with 260,000kms only had a botched EGR delete. Got new Tunes from blessed, clean up the sludge off the engine. Post a video of her running later damage on the heads we suspect is when the previous owner ran gas in her, ordered brand new ones and had them o-ringed
@Blaire
Forgot to add the pic but the heads had some damage near the valves. Also did 6.4l banjo bolt upgrade. Blue fuel spring. Just need to swap the fan clutch to the 7.3l and add a better trans cooler later on.
I hope those are old stock, or non oem stand pipes and dummy plugs. We switched suppliers 2 and a half years ago and the o rings on the new ones are trash

Can confirm they are non OEM, and can confirm the OEM ones are trash now

Well some one at ford thought plastic oil pans were a good idea

I went with that color as it was a close match to the Harley blue, it’s just enamel rattle can blue.
Double check your heads and make sure you don’t have any cracks in the valve seats.

Bought brand new ones and had a machine shop check em and bring them
This is a 6.3(7)L right? Or whatever. I think it’s cool
My guy, clean the top end before you strip them down! All that shit falling in the engine, and your reservoir sitting there wide open, that crap will wipe out an IPR real quick when you start it.
