A buddy who worked for international told me about it but I'm not sure the proper steps,
but you clock the the dampner to the 6 o clock position and install 1- 3 -7 -8 and rotate to 12 o clock 2-4-5-6 or something like that.
I don't see the need but I figured someone would know the actual procedure.
It's to take the pressure off the valvetrain, so there is minimal lift on the valves. Just make sure you run the valvetrain and carrier to head down before you run the stud nuts past finger tight, you don't want the fulcrum plate twisting for obvious reasons.
As what the Ford service manual says for the 6.0, "Rotate the crankshaft until the locating damper is at the 6 o clock position" With no particular sequence, due make sure the damper is at 6 o clock.
The 6.4 has a specific sequence.
I just set a bank to BDC, and torque everything down to the first stage, move to the other side and repeat. Once the first stage is complete on both, I rotate the crank enough times to make sure everything is operating correctly on the valvetrain.
Nice and easy, same procedure with aftermarket drop in pushrods.
