Common problems
There are several common problems associated with 6.0 Powerstroke engines. Many of the “fixes” can be done under the hood. Here is a list to help you address those. https://boostedperformance.com/n-29-60-powerstroke-engine-problems.html. Many people don’t know that there were also some problems originally built into the 6.0 which can be corrected. These fixes are best done when remanufacturing a 6.0 Long Block https://ashevilleengine.com/product/6-0-ford-powerstroke-engine/
Push rods
When the Navistar VT365 and 6,0 Powerstroke engines were made, the pushrods that Navistar used were a little too long. Pushrods that are too long cause the plunger in the hydraulic lifter to come very close to bottoming out. This caused tremendous stress on the lifter which caused many lifters to fail. Ford made the correction in late 2007, but it was too late for millions of 2003-2007 6.0 Powerstroke owners. Every one of the 6.0 Powerstroke engines that Asheville Engine has ever built, has the updated pushrods in them.
Blown head gaskets
ARP head studs are a great addition when replacing head gaskets but head gaskets can still fail. This is because there are not enough head bolts in the 6.0 Powerstroke engines. Without enough head bolts the correct clamping force is lacking to prevent the heads from lifting. O-ringed cylinder heads compliment the ARP head studs allowing for a better head-to-block combustion seal. Adding O-rings helps to prevent the problem of blown head gaskets in 6.0 Powerstroke engines.
Camshaft
The 6.0 Powerstroke camshaft also contributes to lifter failures. The lobes on the 6.0 camshaft are very abrupt and cause stress on the lifters. Because of the camshaft design, valve guides also wear considerably. Asheville Engine designed a drop-in Stage 2 camshaft that is manufactured to our own specifications. An Asheville Engine stage 2 camshaft provides a smoother transition and less stress for the valves. It also spools the turbo quicker, drops the EGT’s, adds approximately 50 HP and can provide better fuel mileage. An Asheville Engine stage 2 cam is a great addition to 6.0 Powerstroke engines.
