when will heads for the 6.0 be available again.

my truck is down for the count til some turn up.

 

Did you try to order a set? Are your old ones trash? You can have a machine shop resurface the heads, I took .009 off of mine and that is the limit. Ford specs are .002

 

are they warped enough they can be shaved??

 

why are they not available? thats not a good idea on ford/International's part.

 

Wow... I would have been pissed off if I decided to order a set of heads and they were not available...

 

You're kidding, there are no heads available from International/Ford for the 6.0? Wow. I hope the heads on my truck, which is in service, are ok otherwise I'm SOL.

 

I had the heads replaced with reman. ones and developed a problem within 600 m.

there are certain heads that have been recalled, mainly the ones I put on my truck

and now the entire stock with a certain mfg. date.

so from what I hear demand far exceeds supply

 

We have several sets sitting in stock.

When do you need them?

 

they are going to have to come from the dealer since they are replacing the ones that were *****, but I'll keep that in mind

thanx

 

I just had one head replaced on my 6.0L a couple weeks ago.

 

Does anyone know what was wrong with all the heads? Why the recall?

 

There was a batch of remanufactured heads and blocks that did not pass spec.

Maybe they are bowed up like a canoe, just like every other set of 6.0 International heads I've worked on in the past 6 months....

 

on mine the valve guides were too tight on cyl. #7 causing the valves to sieze up when it got hot , then bent pushrod , broken rocker arm , & other bits & pieces
