Message: [QUOTE="Diesel625, post: 1539624, member: 26128"] Got an update on my motor. The cam bearings were definitely worn, and several lifters were pretty worn down. The block still had crosshatching on all but 2 cylinders, and the crank bearings were worn down too. A piece of metal went through the lpop, and scarred up the front cover. I was thinking of going ahead and rebuilding like originally planned, but I’m leaning towards a built long block instead. Maybe since I plan on keeping the truck for a very long time, I’d rather do the long block. I’m thinking of running a kill devil stage 1, but upgrade to a colt stage 2 cam and Chrome moly push rods. It was suggested to me to run a choate engineering workhorse long block. Any suggestions or experiences would be welcomed. Also, I’m glad to see the old 6.0 made it to 335k miles of very hard work before anything major had to be done. The previous owner ran 15w40 motorcraft oil and filters and serviced it every 3k. after I bought it, I switched to Schaeffers 5w40 with motorcraft filters, and serviced it every 5k. [/QUOTE]
