Just to show something could you slide the oil dipstick and tube back
in and show a photo of how far it sticks down into the pan? The reason
I was thinking this was the guy that has the broken dipstick. I just wanted to see how far under the windage tray it sticks. While your at it does the pan have an baffles?
Thanks

The engine shop seemed impressed about the miles. I think they might go online n check out this thread. If they do it, then all of us kc guys will have a local engine shop. That would be very cool.

Just to let you know, I have been very curiously keeping an eye on this thread, even if I haven't posted much. What I am noticing with great interest is you appear to have the late '06 version of this engine, which is the latest and most updated possible version. This means your cylinder heads from Ford will be part number 6C3Z-6049-AA should you need to replace them, not 3C3Z-6049-DA for 2003 to early '06 engines. This also means your engine uses 20mm cylinder head dowels on the block as well as the heads.
I am extremely curious to see if the replacement engine is in fact going to come with the correct rear engine cover installed on it that is unique to manual transmission applications.

Road builders in Kansas City Kansas. Jamie or Scott. Just got off the phone with them, I think I found the perfect place to do the backup engine. They were honest about the crank seals. Maybe if enough of us use them, then they would buy the installers, but they checked and told me they could get the tools any time. Prob a borrow thing. I'm good with that. That should be a testament about our engines. If they suck so bad, and break so much, why does nobody (or nothave the tools to do the lower end. Um, maybe cause they don't break as much as people think.
I called a different shop, that guy said "oh crap, you got the worst engine ever built". I got in an argument with him. "If its the worst engine then why am I calling you with almost 600k? You think it's the worst engine cause you don't know anything about it, or because the people you see don't do proper maint". That place was called clay county engine builders near Kansas City. Heck with them.
Here's road builders. I know they aren't venders on here, but maybe they would be interested in it.
They also said they would take pics of their part of the process also. That's cool

Today, I'm wanting to get the engine bay cleaned and painted. I've got red, silver n black paint. The silver is 2000* high heat. I'm wondering if it would hold up on the exhaust manifolds

Question. I've been using engine oil to lube the injector orings for install. Obviously I've been in too much of a hurry to get them seated correctly. Two of mine that were in the old engine had messed up orings. Would grease hurt anything as long as it isn't too caked on???

Try engine assembly lube. They make that stuff
in a pint can and it comes in very handy.
Here is one that I found with a quick Google
Slipkote Specialty Lubricants Automotive Engine Assembly Lubes
I used this search "diesel engine assembly lube"
Also make sure that he bore is clean and put a bit of the lube
at the top so it is also slick. Insert the injector in a straight
line so your not tipping it and pinching the O-ring. One other
thing is you can find one is an O-ring installation sleeve to
make it easer to slide it onto the injector and not pulled
out of shape. Warm and pre-lube the O-ring before you start. All of
this info is basic hydraulic assembly guides for high pressure
O-rings. The sleeve can be made from plastic with no sharp edges
and it just a tiny bit larger than the injector you slide the
lubed O-ring on it and place it on the injector and ease it
onto the injector. And your done.
Just take your time.
