- OEM Balanced Assembly: Precision-machined to Ford specs for minimal vibration and extended service life.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for heavy-duty trucks, construction equipment, generators, and marine/industrial use.
Common Faults & Replacement Signals
- Low Compression or Blow-By: Worn pistons/rings or scored liners cause power loss — replace long block if compression is below 350 psi.
- Oil/Coolant Mixing: Cracked block or head gasket failure leads to white smoke or milky oil.
- Knocking or Vibration: Damaged crankshaft or bearings — inspect during major service intervals.
- Overheating: Poor cooling passages or warped heads; monitor coolant temps above 105°C.
Installation Notes
- Preparation: Thoroughly clean mating surfaces and inspect for cracks (magnaflux test recommended).
- Alignment: Install new head gaskets and torque head bolts in sequence to Ford specs (typically 120 Nm + angle turn).
- Lubrication: Prime the oil system before the first start; use high-quality diesel engine oil.
- Testing: After installation, run at low idle for 30 minutes, check for leaks, and perform the break-in procedure.
- Pro Tip: Always replace timing components, water pump, and oil cooler during long block installation for best results.
