6.0 goes on and on

[Wayne M.]

As part of my job, I had to endure a 2 day official Ford fleet training course on the 6. 0. Aside from the instructor, who was GREAT, that 6. 0 is a disaster. It's sad since the rest of the truck is kinda OK. Even if it had a real engine, I woudn't give my Ram! If that course did anything for me, it showed why the engine has problems.

I came across the book that was given out. I was leafing through it, and shure 'nuff I found one item. The rockers are on bridges that are held down by the head bolts. The page has a big (!) at the bottom stating that if the rockers or head bolts are disturbed, the head gasket must be replaced. If I remember correctly, the rockers need to come out to replace the injectors.
