Diesel-powered trucks have never been more popular, and Ford’s Powerstroke family of Diesel engines have been a mainstay of the marketplace since they were introduced in 1994. While these engines are well known for their durability and longevity, they still require a rebuild at some point. How to best diagnose, repair, and rebuild these engines is somewhat of a mystery for those without access to the factory manuals until now.

This book covers the vast majority of Powerstroke Diesel engines on the road, and gives you the full story on their design. Each part of the engine is described and discussed in detail, with full-color photos of every critical component. A full and complete step-by-step engine rebuild is also included.

The book’s appeal extends further with a wide range of engine-building tips, charts, graphs, and information-packed sidebars to share even more information. Detailed graphics showing the engine’s various system designs are also a unique feature of this book.

How to Rebuild Ford Powerstroke Diesel Engines 1994-2007 includes information on the 1994-2002 7.3L and 2003-2007 6.0L engines used in Ford’s popular pickups and industrial work trucks. Author Bob McDonald is a well-known Diesel engine expert. He is the owner of Diesel repair specialty shop and has more than 20 years’ experience repairing and rebuilding both gas and diesel engines of all kinds.

7.3L Removal & Disassembly

For 1994 to 1997 models, removal and installation of the engine is a tight squeeze due to the design of the engine compartment. This doesn’t pose a real problem; just a little aggravation.

6.0L Removal & Disassembly

Engine support brackets are located at the front of the driver’s side of the engine and at the rear of the passenger’s side of the engine. Place a chain tightly through both support brackets and attach to an engine hoist. The engine can now be removed.

The best piston ring seal comes from the way the block is honed. Piston ring manufacturers often advise the proper bore finish for their piston rings.

During the teardown, make sure to measure how far the piston comes out of the bore. This is a contributing factor for choosing the right piston.

Engine Assembly

Install the piston rings onto the piston and lightly oil them. Place the rings in the proper position on the piston and install the pistons in the bore with a piston ring squeezer.

Installation & Break In

Lower the engine into position, mating it with the transmission. Remember, if the transmission is an automatic, make sure to align the studs in the torque converter with the flex plate. To make installation easier, leave the intake manifold off. This allows a little more room for other components to be placed onto the engine.
