I have a friend with a 06 F-350 extended cab.

Hes doing his engine , heads and EGR etc.

He was quoted a price of $4500.00, does this sound reasonable?

I looked in Ebay and saw you can buy the whole head gasket kit with head bolts for $250.00?

Also they told him the cab had to come off , Ive heard of this but Ive also heard it doesnt have to come off to do the heads?

Any opinions or thoughts welcomed.

 

do heads all the time with the cab on. why not read the workshop book on it?

 

If he is going in tell him to Use OEM HeadGaskets (FORD) and then use ARP HeadStuds instead od the TTY Bolts

He would be Shooting Himself in the FOOT if he went back with TTY Head Bolts

ARP and OEM HeadGaskets is the Only way to Go if he is going In its around 500-600.00$$ for these 2 things but worth it

Try Clay at Riff Raff Diesel for them ARP HeadStuds

 

Thats why I was asking.
Thanks....................

 

He Also needs to Update STC Fitting at HPOP and Also Standpipes and Dummey Plugs at the Oil Rails under the valve covers

Get the Injector Oring from Aliant Power So he can change All Of them on each inject
The Ford OEM Oring Kit Shorts you 1 seal per Inject the One Seal in Questionhere is the Very TOP Oring that seals the HPO Rail To Inject


Is he taking to a Shop????

 

How hard is it to change that top injector O-ring if you happen to be in there?
Do you use a plastic hook to remove the old one or is that some other way?
Then I take it you dip the new one in oil and put it back in the injector?
Do I have this right?
Thanks

Yes SIR ^^^ You Got It

A small Pick Set to Remove the Retainer At very Top once retainer out then Pull Oring Out

Iv never done it But the Only catch is The Retainer will Want to spin in its Bore Im shure its Doable

Just DONT Do it Around Open Valve cover incase the retainer Ring Goes Flying

Maybe pull the injector and do it in a box. You will have to
pull it to do the lower O-rings anyway. I guess you could
rig up a holder of some type and have some good light
when you do it so if and when one does fly it can be found.
Do you happen to have a photo of the O-ring installed?

Sean

 

Not Installed but just this Its the C-Clip you must pull to get the Black oring Below it in this Pic

Its the 2 Item FAR Right collum







If you go that far just as well do em ALL

The Fuel Rail Oring canWear and Leak Iv already been down that Road

When the fufel Rail orings leak same symtoms as BAD FICM with 1 exception Fuel in Oil and maybe Low Fuel Press I didnt have a Fuel Gauge so couldnt verify this

 

Thanks
I tried
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BLADE35 again.

You can change the o-ring with out pulling the clip or d-ring. been there done that its a pita but better then dealing with that little clip.
