Great video. we used stucco mixing pans to drain the coolant from the block the big black bins at home depot. then install fumoto valves atleast on my personal truck i did for the block drain that way you can hook a hose to them and just open the valve
As someone who’s never worked on a 6.0, it’s amazing to me how “updated” of a design they are over the 7.3s. But this video makes me feel like I could work on one just as easy
Wow what a job, I can see why they move the engine partially under the firewall but what a pita to work on, I’m learning and really enjoying your videos 😁👍
Thank you! Unfortunately I won’t do them with cab on. I can just do a much better job either pulling engine or cab. I think the key to doing this job correct is being comfortable and relaxed and you won’t be comfortable fighting the heater box and laying on your belly.
@@Atomic_Diesel could you show a video how to test early 03 hpop. One thing you can't find anything how to tell if it's bad just a guess till you get there. Any maybe at way to rebuild one.
Thanks for the video, very informative and thorough. Do you have a particular head supplier you recommend? I have been looking at the UFC o-ring head. Also, how long is that sharpening stone, 10-12"? I am having a very hard time finding one that long.
If i knew a month ago how deep id be into ny 07 f350 id have at min taken the front "clip" off. I spent the better part of the last month basically doing a "plank" across my radiator/motor. And i live in swfl. Its been mid to upper 90s with 80% or more humidity. But ill be dang nabbid iv i ever take her back to the stealership. At this point i have a block connected to a tranny. Ill prob just pull it to put it all back together. What sucks is i didnt do my radiator flush b4 all this. But i did do an oil change literally the day before i started. Theres 100 or more wasted😂
I’m getting ready to do a headgasket job and this is my first time working on a 6.0 i’ve watched this video twice already and i’m still nervous to tackle this job for any tips for that?? btw love the vids man!
It’s okay to be nervous! You’ve got it, just take your time with everything! I will try and make a video very soon on block prep and stud instructions. Also if you have any questions while tackling the job don’t hesitate to shoot me a message!
International did a shit job on surface finishes in terms of deck and head surfaces IMO the nicer ther surface the better the seal when it comes to a MLS headgasket. Without pulling the block you can hand lap the deck surface which is super labor intensive and there is a guy on here I believe his channel is "TooManyToys" very informative but dry and drawn out but is worth a watch
Have you installed or had any experience with the dummy plug/stand pipes from Dieselsite? Looks like they did a complete redesign and they are double o-ringed
I do not have any personal experience with them, but I think it’s a really good design and wouldn’t hesitate to use them. I would just ask where their o rings come from.

Just wanted to say thanks man. First time getting this deep into a 6.0. Was a piece of cake with your video! Keep the videos coming sir!!!
Damn bro . nice video I feel like I could work on my 6.0 lol .

Thank you for watching! I’m glad your are enjoying them!
I like how these are very in-depth. I wonder if you can do a video shows how to do the head gaskets with cab on and how you do the steps?

It’s about 12”. I personal have only used PSP and Kill Devil Heads but I would still have either checked at the machine shop!

no heat shield on up pipes / rear near ICP fear the FICM wires getting baked hard.
All aftermarket up pipes have no area to bolt stock heat shield back on. I always wrap mine and or have them ceramic coated!
congrats on 1200 subs 🤙
Thank you! You’re the man!

Were are you located???? I need to bullet proof my 6.0 I’m looking for a solid mechanic .
I’m in East Tennessee!
How much do you charge to do all of this?
The job usually comes in around the 6-7k ball park range (parts and labor).
Damn if I owned this truck I would be f#### pist. I can’t imagine how pist I would be
Which cat elc do you use in a 6.0?
I use the 50/50 stuff just to save me some time of going to find distilled water and mixing it myself.
Is it common to see studded trucks blow head gaskets ?
Very! Of all the 6.0s I’ve tore apart with popped gaskets, only about 2 or 3 still had stock head bolts. All the others were studded.
Do you resurface the exhaust manifolds? After doing a head gasket jobs I’ve found the exhaust manifolds are never flat.
I do. I very rarely see them leak but just a little extra thing I like to do.
Where are you located?
East Tennessee!
Any thoughts on psp or kdd heads ?
Either or are fine. Just take them to your local machine shop and have them checked for flatness before you throw them on.
@@Atomic_Diesel should I buy a pre oring heads or have a machine shop
As long as you have a very reputable machine shop near you, I would let them ring them. If not just buy them ringed.
Have you installed or had any experience with the dummy plug/stand pipes from Dieselsite? Looks like they did a complete redesign and they are double o-ringed
