lol - if he just wouldn't have said that he is the expert and in the same breath said that the Ford coolant is Propylene Glycol, the tranny fluid is "Mercron" V, and that you should add Prolong to the oil in every engine .....

So - does anyone know if these heads are still being sold or not? Wonder why it came up again ????

Using my iPhone to do some searching and haven't found much but did find this. As far as I can tell it was posted July 17th 2014. I haven't seen but a few people admit to buying them, and have yet to read about any failures FWIW. If they were a good product you would think powerstrokehelp would have them all over their website. They don't seem to be very proud of them...???

I as well as most don't really care about his business model. He must have had other issues with his business--jmo.
The heads are Interesting though

Ive seen quite a few trucks that oringed heads fixed after they kept blowing gaskets even studded. Over torque a little after getting the truck up to temp and your good.
Local machine shop does them here.


Most people won't pay for it.

O-ringing heads on a stock engine? Over kill in my opinion...

Race or high output engines.....sure thing!

This guy you all speak badly about....is he that much of a tool?

I personally don't have anything bad to say to say about him. Although it appears to me that he may over exaggerate the common issues with the 6.0 in order to sale a product or service. Unlike say, dieseltechron who is more in the business of educating the DIY's. Just my perspective.

I just watched that video.....damn he edited the hell out of it!

I ran an engine shop for a few years. What he is saying about the heads being twisted is true, but cast iron heads rarely twist or distort that bad. Aluminum heads yes. But that is where you bolt them to a fixture plate and put them in an oven and cycle them a few times. If they can back into tolerance then you would mill the gasket surface. Well at least that was the practice 20 years ago.


Still not sold on o-ringing the heads on a 6.0L unless you are tuning it 200 plus HP!
