Hello all,
Not new to the forum but back after a few years off following the love affair with my 6.4 (RIP). Just finalized the deal on a 99 F350 DRW with the 7.3 and looking forward to connecting with you all in that forum
As the title says, new in box RCD crank bolt kit for those who have taken off the crank spacer or are building that high HP monster! $100.00 plus shipping
Just did an oil change and went 10w30 route. My cold start tick is less noticeable (10 seconds max) and truck runs smoother.
I'm guessing that a lifter might be a little sticky or something. I'm on a fresh rebuild and everything is new.. I don't loose any sleep over it
I'll add my two cents - just did my 4th oil change on my new build engine and went with Motorcraft 10w30. Seems lots of guys are running it and I thought I would give it a whirl.
I noticed immediately on starting with the 10w30 it ran smoother and quieter.
So far, I'm a believer!
Mine makes the same noise, when it's cold
Goes away 30 seconds. I have 10k on full rebuild - lifters , rockers, pushrods, heads ect.
Not getting worse so I just drive her
Maybe just a noise it makes....these 6.4's can make some strange ones!
Or possibly a cracked ring. My engine had 3 cracked rings....lots of oil in the downpipe.
However, that's fairly rare, so I would look at the turbos first. Much more likely.
So, anyone have first hand experience with this?
No cruise, no horn and now airbag light....I'm voting clock spring
Just curious if there are some members that have done it
