Ok so I have been through the ringer with all the crap a person has to do in order to have a 6.0 that will last more than 150k.

We are putting the motor in and while on the stand it bared over just fine. Now it's in the truck and we are trying to bar it over to put Torque Converter bolts in it won't. Any ideas would help thanks

I don't bar over i bump the starter for converter bolts

( remote start switch hooked to the large starter lug and the smaller easy to reach one )

just jeep your fingers well clear of the rotating studs if you do this

nothing should have changed since you last turned it over by hand other than the leverage angle

unless you have all the accessories and the belt on ?

Well I think we found the problem. Since you can't adjust the valves it's common for the push rods to slip out of place. We are taking the rockers back out and dabbing the rods with grease in order to have them there place better.

Any tips to keep those MFers in place?
