Message: [QUOTE="wahoos, post: 962162, member: 14911"] I purchased a 08' 6.4 with 110K mile last year. The first thing i did (within the first month) was delete the DPF, Tuned with a Mini Maxx and deleted the EGR (with new intake elbow). I have put 20K miles on it without issue. Recently the truck started up with a little white smoke in the morning but i assumed it was unburned diesel and it was cold out. Only thing is it had not smoked all winter until now. It had been about 6K miles since an oil change so it took care of that along with new fuel filters (all motorcraft parts). The truck quit smoking but started again in under 2 weeks after the oil change. The truck smoked intermittently until i started up a hill (without a load) and as i gave it gas she fell flat and would not accelerate. after a few seconds it just took off and i almost couldn't get it to stop. After i got her under control the white smoke was back and the truck had a ticking noise from the passenger side of the engine. I headed back to the shop and checked for codes with the tuner but nothing showed. I reloaded the tune and cranked the truck but it still smoked and ticked. I checked the engine and for the first time ever it had puked coolant from the degas bottle. Then I proceeded to removed the cab and tear it down. I noticed that the oil pan was about 6 quarts overfull and the oil was thin (smelled like diesel). #1 cylinder rocker arm was missing the plastic clip (laying in the head) and the compression test was as follows: 2=300 1=300 4=375 3=375 6=375 5=350 8=285 7=375 I can machine the heads/valve job, replace the head gaskets, add ARP studs and address the rocker arm on #1 but i am still making oil. I cannot find anyone who can test my HPFP and injectors so I'm looking into replacing all fuel components or buying a low milage salvage motor. I figure by the time i buy all the parts and sink 4-5K in a 130K mile motor i could just replace with a low milage unit from a wreck. Can anyone help? [/QUOTE]
