Hey. After 250K miles, my 6.4L died. I deleted/studded the engine after 93K miles and aside from radiator replacements, didn't have any major problems until it died.
Because the truck isn't worth much as it sits, replacing the truck will set me back about $70K, and the fact that I just love my truck, I have decided to replace the engine with a Crate Engine from Ford that I can pick up for around $13k plus core.
The crate engine comes with TTY head bolts. I don't plan on super-tuning the crate engine but I will be loading it often with a trailer and don't plan to "baby" her. In addition to the delete, should I go ahead and stud this engine also before I drop it in or are these bolts satisfactory?
Also, is there any thing else I should do with this engine before I drop it in?
Thanks so much!
