6.4 Banjo bolts or not?

[blackshadow]

So my trucks in the shop getting ARP's. I purchased 6.4 Banjo bolts about 1 month ago but haven't had a chance to put them on yet. So I called the tech. today and asked him while everything was apart if he would install them. His response was that 6.0 Banjos had a check valve that would protect other injectors if 1 went bad. The 6.4 Banjos did not have that check valve. I'm not that knowledgeable on them and wanted to get everyone's opinion.

Hmm, I don't understand how the check valve would protect the other injectors if they are all getting fed from the same line.... I think we need a wise old man for this!

I was wondering the same thing but he also said that they are still using the Ford gold coolant too. (Hmmmmmm)

... Where is Dave? I am sure he knows something about this.

the check valves prevent fuel if anything from getting to the injectors, in return making things worse, theres a reason they got rid of the design on the 6.4

these techs half the time dont know a baseball from a hockey puck.

dont allow them to reuse the gold coolant either, make them install the banjos and use ELC coolant

You may wish to rethink the reasoning why they got rid of the check valves on the 6.4. The banjo bolts on the heads of a 6l vs 6.4 have the exact opposite task.
