6.0L Heads... the machinist's perspective.

google is an amazing thing.

so is the amount of information available on 6.0 foibles.
here is a link on a machinists forum, regarding resurfacing
6.0 heads:

Ford 6.0 Diesel woes (DON"T MILL THEM!!)

now, the thread spans a couple years, starting in 2009, but cutting
metal doesn't change all that much over the years. it's an interesting
and candid discussion between machinists who rebuild heads, concernng
this engine series.

Interesting that a machinist had to tell a Ford dealer to check egr cooler for an answer to the problem. Even it being just a couple years ago.
Thanks for posting that link.
