Well when you crack pistons and have no compression in number one cylinder :shrug:there is no point in making it stock again!
Start with machine shop then HD coated pistons arp studs lifters pushrods valve springs full egr delete with waste gate not sure what tow powers I wanna go with yet? Upgraded lpfp not sure if I will have the money for more fuel.

My first lol and cylinder 1 cylinder 8 had some cracks to but not like that

Well we can add 2 cracked heads to the list:doh:

I bought an engine wit. 100000 miles I'm gonna pull the heads and the them checked and add head studs if the pistons look good should I leave them alone? Also what avoid I do for a charger/ chargers? 71mm lp and leave the hp or?

what year is the engine? if it is an 08, you will likely crack another piston. if it is a late 09 or 10 you should be okay with stock pistons if you are running a good tune.

White_monster · Oct 18, 2013

What tells you an 08 will crack a piston and a 09-10 won't?

dusty9 · Oct 18, 2013

:whs:
There is a 2010 in my shop with bad pistons now.

sootie · Oct 18, 2013

not saying it wouldnt i just have seen fewer of them.

what tunes were in the 2010 with cracked pistons?

94forddiesel · Oct 18, 2013

It is an 08

White_monster · Oct 18, 2013

Same pistons in all years of trucks. Your theory is not realistic.

Tree Trimmer · Oct 19, 2013

you could always pull them, have them checked, and if they check out, have them de-lipped and put back in.

is what i did.

well i just pulled the heads on the engine i bought and i got screwed one piston is melted and the cylinder wall is scored up pretty good. and i heard if you take apart the rods then they are no good and you need to purchase new rods?
