greasemonkey Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Looks like I'm going to be installing a 6.4L short block due to excessive oil consumption, low compression cylinder 8. I'm trying to get list together of necessary gaskets and parts. Maybe someone been down this road before and can help out. Also anybody know anything about oil cooler gasket, is it availible?

eastendpowerstroke Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 The cab off hardware list is at the top sticky post. I haven't had to disassemble a 6.4L past the fuel pump cover yet so I can't help more sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregH Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Make sure yo've got the right tools to torque the head bolts... I used a 4:1 multiplier, a 3/4" drive 5/8" socket, and a small dab of antiseize under the bolt heads... See the "Head Bolt Torque" thread...

Mikill Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 The headgasket kit comes with both head gaskets, fuel lines for injectors, injector o-rings and washers and turbo reseal kit. You will need a front cover gasket kit and rear cover gasket and seal, upper and lower oil pan gaskets, oil pickup gasket, water pump gasket and all the exhaust gaskets and bolts. As well as valve cover and rocker carrier gaskets. I usually order a new hpp gasket kit as well. I think that should cover it. You will also need alot of patience and a couple of days. Its really alot of little things that need to be watched. Don't forget to remove all sensors and block heater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 You will also need alot of patience and a couple of days. I'll second that as there are a lot of assembly details and miscellaneous parts which I never seem to order all at once. If you have never had the cab off or performed any major repairs on a 2008 6.4L I highly recommend that you take the time to read the cab off procedure and engine disassembly/assembly procedure in the manual... at least once. Don't forget that you also must replace all of the cab mount bolts and the steering shaft bolt... details, details! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregH Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 When you transfer your sensors and the block heater, don't forget the little nipple on the lower right side of the engine... I went to set my stripped short block down, forgot the nipple, and squashed it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Don't forget that you also must replace all of the cab mount bolts and the steering shaft bolt... details, details! Don't forget to clean the loctite off the new bolts and use anti-seize instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
