    Did my gaskets about a year and a half ago, closely following your videos. Never took a second to say thanks, so Thanks! They were incredibly helpful and saved me a lot of time. I know it takes time, but guys out here like me really appreciate your videos.

    I am doing head gaskets on a 2004 60 the easiest way I found it just unbolt the right side engine support and lift the engine up And you can get to all the bolts

    Great info and thank you. My 19yo Son just bought an 06. Needless to say, I am on a crash course to learn how to work on these. He was quoted $15K to pull the cab and do the heads and head gaskets along with ARP studs. Needless to say, after seeing this we are going to trade a weeks worth of work to save paying $13K of labor to someone else.

    I know this video has been around a while but I have learned a couple of things to make your life a little easier- I do have a lift but dont like pulling the cab either - so I put the lift only under the front frame rails so I can raise and lower the front of the truck- role it in and pull the front tires - that way you can let it down to a comfortable work height. Then pull the inner mud shield for the passenger side - this gives access to all the crap that you have to reach from under the air box ... and I zip tie that rear stud on the drivers side before it goes in... nice video

    a blown head gasket is a major job, especially on new foreign cars, that are loaded with so many complicated features, that they will not last for decades, like the cars that transitioned from carburetors to fuel injection in the late 90's to 2000's which are simple and reliable and will last decades, after 2010 to about 2015 they started complicating cars with complex features that will doom the car to unreliability and the scrap heap before a couple of decades of use, but the early 90's to 2000's cars are simple, reliable and will and do last, you still see heaps of hyundia getz on the road here in australia, i have one, cheap to run, cheap to fix, not much to go wrong besides a fuel pump which will eventually fail as they all have a use by date, just like a turbo only has so many hours of life expectancy, an electronic fuel pump will eventually die, and that's all that has gone out on my getz, i plan to change the alternator soon so i dont get a rude surprise one day, if i change it i will be right for 20 years at least.
    modern cars will never last 2 decades without spending serious money keeping them repaired, unlike my hyundai gets that has only needed a new fuel pump besides the usual brakes, plugs and timing belt air filter and stuff, new cars are built so flimsy and complicated that they will be piles of trash after 20 years and you wont see many on the road, unlike hyundia getz that are getting into the double decades of age, you still see plenty driving around because they are simple, cheap to run, cheap to fix and there is not much to go wrong with them, besides consumables like plugs, filters, fuel pump eventually, besides that they dont skip a beat.
    only a fool or a man with a lot of money and no brains, buys a modern BMW, they are complicated, delicate, poorly built, unreliable pieces of trash that will always cost a fortune to fix when they certainly will breakdown or develop problems, parts cost a fortune, repair shops for them charge triple the average, if you want to waste money on german, get a mercedes, which are only slightly better, but their service centers will rob you, as they wont give anyone else but there service centers the error codes, so if you see your mechanic and his automotive scanner reads an error code, he wont know what it means so cant work on the car, mercedes refuses to reveal the car computer scanner codes, that indicate whats wrong with the car, so if the mechanic cannot know what error codes indicate he cannoit repair a mercedes, thats how they stiff you, the mercedes dealer or repair center will charge you 5 or more times the average for repairs, and 4 times the price for parts, even a regular oil change is $1000, for $30 of engine oil, and the newest cars are computer locked to only use proprietary automotive scanners, another repair shops scanners will give system errors and wont be able to talk to the car computer at all.
    along with car makers engineering there cars to last only as long as he warranty, like using plastic parts, like where the radiator hose hooks up to the engine, it plugs into a plastic housing that holds the thermostat, like in mini's, these are common failure points, but the point is car makers use these plastic parts because they will last the warranty, not a lifetime, they are all incorporating many cheap plastic parts only rated to last a little past the warranty. the thermostat housing that bolted to the engine was a part that would last a lifetime, it was metal, now car makers are all engineering cars with parts that are rated to last a little past the end of the manufacturers factory warranty and no more, as it is cheaper to buy a plastic thermostat housing that will certainly fail with the constant heat and cool down cycles, the plastic will disintegrate eventually, so a part that almost never failed, will need constant replacing every 5 to 7 years or earlier, as they have been know to fail while still under warranty.
    the point is car makers all copy each other, if one maker starts engineering there cars to only last a little past the factory warranty, they all start using plastic parts and engineering until warranty, they all copy each other, one comes out with a start engine switch, within 2 years they all follow suit and abandon keys for fobs and start engine switch's, who knows who first came out with it, but if mercedes comes out with something, they will be copied, imagine a decade later these cars have problems starting in the cold and the start cycle is too short to start them ???
    not to mention the extremely complicated electronics, like the seat switch that failed on a car, so the car thought nobody was sitting in the drivers seat, so it maintained the electronic park brake on, so the owner could not drive the car as the brakes were locked on, the only way to release them is to sit in the drivers seat on a switch that tells the computer the driver is seated, but if the switch fails, there is no way to tell the cars computer your in the drivers seat, so the safety feature will keep the electronic park brake jammed on, preventing driving the car,
    my girlfriends car has a start switch, there is no way to sit in the car with the radio on, like with a key there's a accessory position where basic function, radio, lighter and so on work, in this car you either start the car, or have 2 minutes of radio time before it switches off, there is no switch, setting or button to be able to sit in the car with the radio on and engine off, how stupid.
    with all this complicated elctronics, engineered to only last a little after the warranty expires philosophy, plastic parts and poor quality cheap builds these days, modern cars will not be on the road within two decades, they will all be on the scrap heap, when i drive my 2007 hyundai getz around i notice all the other hyundai getz still on the road, and there are plenty of them around because they were built in the sweet spot after carburates, simple fuel injected cars of the late 90's to early 2000's, these cars are simple fuel injected cars that are simple and will last, you still see many of them on the road, you will not see a 2020's car in 2040's, they will all be long gone to the scrap heap, i bet i will still be coasting along in my hyundai getz in 2030 ???

    Good video, couple of things I would point out. One, your intske gaskets are on upside down, you can see on the gasket the plastic tab is facing down, supposed to face up to properly locate the gaskets. And two, if I payed to have head gaskets done, and my rocker boxes were as greasy as those when I got the truck back, I would lose my shit. A little cleaning goes a long way. I pull the cabs, but I have 5 lifts at my disposal. Good work on the stoning by the way, not many do it these days. Always keepna good stone in my box, built a lot of engines over the years.

  • @tysonhartle2439
    @tysonhartle2439 Před 2 lety

    I couldn't for the life of me get one of the y-pipe bolts/nuts off on the drivers side exhaust manifold so chose to just take the manifolds off prior to pulling the heads and left the y-pipe and both exhaust manifolds in the engine compartment, all connected. Having the motor mount off and being able to move raise/lower the engine I was able to easily get the manifolds back on after head install. There is enough flex in those sections of the y-pipe to allow you to spread the exhaust manifolds apart enough to get the heads in without issue. Just thought I would comment with this in case there were others that could not get the collector nuts/bolts off at the y-pipes.

    Aweskme video, just did my heads, gaskets etc following this video. But I missed one part :-/ i did not see the part about rotating the engine by hand to ensure everything was seated properly. When I went to turn engine over, at first it sounded smooth. I did this for 30 seconds, 10 seconds at a time. By the 3rd crank, I was having a slight loping crank, kinda like cranking over a gas motor with 1 spark plug in one of the cylinders. Anyways, after using the key, the truck fired up great, and runs awesome with good power and no smoke, however I think I'm noticing a really slight vibration from the engine. Could this be air in the fuel lines still, or is that slight lope in the cranking definitely a major issue that I need to pull it back down to investigate?

    • @eldridge201
      @eldridge201 Před 3 lety +1

      I know this is a year later but it's really hard to know what you did or didn't do that may have caused your issue. By now, you have either torn it back down yourself or had someone else do it or just lived with it.
      But, in the future, you should know that with a diesel it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to turn it over with a ratchet by hand quite a few times to ensure there is nothing interfering with the cylinders or valves and so on. The clearance is just too close to mess around with this.
      So, did you ever figure out what happened or did you just decide to live with it?

    • @outdoorzone
      @outdoorzone Před 5 lety +1

      Josh Lee yes I removed the #8 piston with the cab on...it went pretty smooth and a lot easier than I imagined!
      I did rotate the crank and checked the #8 to #6 tdc to make sure the rod was not bent. Everything measured the same..so I only replaced the piston, rings and wrist pin. I did use Lucas oil assembly lube on the new parts. Then I rotated the crank several times to make everything was kosher.
      Reinstalled everything. Installed new heads and arp studs, gaskets...etc..
      Running like a champ now!!!
      Just an FYI! I replaced all the push rods with the new updated ones from a 2008 that are shorter that the 2003-2007 stock ones that were too long. There is ford tsb on it! Don’t worry though, if you order new push rods from ford for a 2003-2007 6.0 you will get the shorter push rods.

  • @TysonCapel23
    @TysonCapel23 Před 3 lety +1

    If I want to install APR head studs in my truck would it be possible to leave the head in and just take the head bolts out and replace them with studs one at a time that way you don't have to completely remove the head and change gaskets? This is of course if the head gaskets are still good and not blown. Seems like it would be much quicker if you didn't have to remove everything and you could just replace the bolts with studs one at a time without taken out injectors and the entire head If there's not a head gasket issue going on.

  • @DynamicDaddio
    @DynamicDaddio Před 7 lety +6

    Insanely awesome video. Wishing I had listened and installed the fuel lines to the driver side head before installing... but was pressed for time and help. Lesson learned the hard way! Quick question: I've got the heads back on and torqued down. Went through and ran the crankshaft through 4 rotations. All the push rods/rockers/valves appear to be linked right up, but when I was listening to the video I captured, it sounded like the push rods were squeaking a little. Is this because (besides the oil applied to the push rods) the cam is fairly dry? I checked on both sides, and they both do it. I figured since everything is moving the way it should, all items line-up. Was just a little worried about that squeaking.

    • @powerstrokecustomsllc1942
      @powerstrokecustomsllc1942  Před 7 lety +1

      Eric Woodland the squeak is normal. That could be the Pistons as well. The main thing is you don't want any binding. If it gets to the point you can't turn the crank over by hand and it binds or locks up then you know you have a problem. I just do it to make sure the pushrods and rocker arms are well seated and you know your not gunna throw a rod or break a rocker arm before using the starter to crank. The starter has a lot of torque and can bend or break something. If I can spin that crank before hand and make sure everything is working like it should then when I'm done with the install I know everything will be fine when I use the starter.

    • @DynamicDaddio
      @DynamicDaddio Před 7 lety

      In terms of kicking in the starter from the engine bay - What cord did you plug up to the battery to make that happen?

      @powerstrokecustomsllc1942  Před 7 lety +1

  • @YahFllr
    @YahFllr Před 3 lety +1

    Can the head bolts be taken out one by one, and replace with the studs one by one without removing the head or changing out the gaskets? 200,000 miles an no issues with the heads or gaskets.

    • @eldridge201
      @eldridge201 Před 3 lety +1

      You "can" do that but really, at 200,000 miles, it would just make sense to spend the extra time and what little money it would cost to do the head gaskets as well.
      If you're doing it yourself anyway, you just as well do it. I think the gaskets are only another $150 roughly.
      Keep in mind that as you loosen each head bolt, the torque retention on the head gaskets will change a little which could potentially cause an issue with cylinder leakage or coolant issues.
      Although I'm sure there are some people that have done this without any issues, if you have the time and money to do it, then just do it. Is it really worth having an issue happen after you've already spent quite a few hours just doing the head stud replacement when you could have just spent another day or two doing the head gaskets?

  • @mateo801
    @mateo801 Před 3 lety +1

    Just wondering if it is possible to finish putting the passenger side high pressure oil rail and stand pipe in, before putting the engine mount on the driver side and working on the driver side. Thanks Josh, I’m working on my truck as well. Just finished putting on the passenger side cylinder head.

    Great video, and thank you for showing an option other than paying 5k or more if and when I need to replace my head gaskets and head bolts. Noticed you didn't do anything with the EGR or the oil cooler was that already done, or doesn't always need to be done?

      @davidstafford77 Před 7 lety

      FULLY LIT I didn't take them out of the heads. I'm using the factory heads- it's an 07 truck. It ran perfect before disassembly, other than leaking coolant.

      @davidstafford77 Před 7 lety

      FULLY LIT checked injector and ficm, tried to start again and it is running worse. It's pulling a cylinder 5 code and of course now the egr. this is starting to seem like bad harness connections maybe?

    You say it's time and cost saving to leave the cab on but do you charge the customer for taking off the cab and the hours that go along with it that the books call for or do you pass the savings to the customer when you don't take the cab off? Great video thumbs up on it.

      Josh has a video on the cab off/cab on dilema when following the dealers guidelines. Dealers have instructions for both. If the dealer says they "have to remove the cab", they're lying. It can be done with the cab on. only a little inconvenient getting to rear valve cover / oil rail bolts off and y pipe bolts. Not 4 hrs inconvenient though. Dealer in SoCal wanted $3050 to replace #1 & #6 injectors, with oil and fuel filter service. 14.5 hrs of labor. This had to be a cab off quote... crazy! I'm currently in the middle of doing Driver side head gasket. Thanks Josh.

    • @yesno1793

      If you’re referring to the factory bolts, yes, they will have to come off before you lift the head.

    • @bigbaby1177

    • @traviscavette4031
      @traviscavette4031 Před 7 lety +1

      Brad Martinez diesel and oil mixing together most of the time means that the internal seals in the injectors are bypassing and allowing fuel to get in your oil. (producing oil)

  • @joeryan9130
    @joeryan9130 Před 7 lety +1

    you said the valves were all cut down to the same length, when you have the heads machined down do you also have you take the same amount off of the valves

    • @powerstrokecustomsllc1942
      @powerstrokecustomsllc1942  Před 7 lety

      so the way I do the math is first I recess the valves down into the head .020-.030... then if the head needs to be machined flat then say that's .008.. so then take the .008 + whatever I had to cut into the valve seat to seat the valve so lets say valve 1-16 need .005 then I add that and take .013 of those valve stems to make up for pushrod difference.

    • @joeryan9130
      @joeryan9130 Před 7 lety

      FULLY LIT ok i see. you said they were new valves do you have to put in new valves every time or was this just a particular time they needed replaced. and thanks for the help

    • @powerstrokecustomsllc1942

  • @gephrobodine
    @gephrobodine Před 4 lety

    Awesome video. Part I'm stuck on presently is setting the driver side head on. Can't seem to push it back far enough with the sheet metal in the way (hood edge of the engine compartment toward the driver). Don't want to slide it across the gasket. Tried adjusting the chains 3 times so far and still just can't get it stuck in far enough to set it down. Any suggestions? Chain is setup pretty much like you show. Engine is jacked up as far as I can (tried lowered too). I got it out ok but I think that reversing that would damage the gasket (hard to remember how it went).

    • @powerstrokecustomsllc1942
      @powerstrokecustomsllc1942  Před 4 lety

      gephro bowdeen yea that sheet metal can be a pain. Try relocating the chains more forward on the head and have it angled.

    • @gephrobodine
      @gephrobodine Před 4 lety +1

      @@powerstrokecustomsllc1942 got it finally. Took about 5 approaches and re-boltings and measurings yada yada. I think the main issue is that although I have a 2 ton hoist, it's not designed for a truck this far off the ground, so the boom can only go as low as horizontal. It makes the chain length and positioning critical. I've altered the hoist in a couple of ways in order to do this job - extending the lift and wedging the boom so it would sit between the 1 and 1.5 ton positions. I ended up moving the chains forward as you said and bolting to the 3rd intake manifold bolt hole from the front, and on the exhaust side wrapping the chain around the cyl 4 exhaust port alone. It was way back-heavy so I had to maintain downward force on the front the whole time, but it gave me enough clearance to push it back far enough. A helper to raise/lower was a must. Appreciate the help!
