If you need any help, let me know. Also, if you still got any 7.3 stuff left, let me know, I still got a long way to go on mine

Thanks Dave, I do not have any 7.3 stuff. I sold all of it off or gave away what I couldn't sell.

I got the heads off today and to the machine shop. Everything looked really good when I pulled it apart. No ridge in the cylinders and it still has a good cross hatch in it. I am going to try to derust the rest of the block this weekend and maybe get some paint on it. I need to change out the oil cooler yet too. Here are some pics.

Dang Steve! I forgot about this. Hope it all goes together well.

I got the engine tore down for the most part today. The only thing I have to pull off yet is the rear cover. I didn't originally plan on pulling that off but I want to change the rear main seal. As long as it is all apart I want to make sure I replace it all. I got all the damn rust taken off of it. I used a needle scaler that I borrowed from Pure Diesel Power. It worked great, if I wouldn't have had that I would still be cleaning the rust off of the block. I guess it is time for pictures.

Another of the crappy oil pan.

One side of the block cleaned off.

Current state that it is sitting in the garage.

Did you remove the front cover by cutting the silicone from the front plate? I hope so, if not, pull the whole bottom end also...

genuineford · Dec 4, 2011

No it just popped right off.

DEEZUZ · Dec 4, 2011

ughhh... pull it...

genuineford · Dec 4, 2011

Are you talking about pulling the bed plate off?

Why would he need to pull the bed plate ?
When you put it back together just put two dabs of rtv on the dots where the bed plate gaskets come through you will be fine
