    Oil squirters

    Hey buddy thanks for the suggestions. After doing much more extensive research I found out that it was 100% a 83' 6.9L. All you guys were correct. It was the only year that they did the press in oil squirters. I was going off what I had been told from the guy who sold it to me, plus the fact...

    Thank you!! That's actually who I'm going to source the majority of my parts from for the rebuild.

    100% it has ½" head bolts instead of 7/16", it house the round cooling ports at the corners of the cylinder deck, ect.

    Oil squirters

    I'm rebuilding my 92' 7.3 idi, and putting a turbo on it. The oil squirters that are in it look like the press in type, not the bolt on. But I've been told that the only ones that had the press in type were the early 6.9L from like 84' and the rest have the bolt on type. The only replacements I...

    Exactly. I'm sure that definitely happens but I think it's been blown a little out of proportion.

    No, but you kind of answered you own question in your last paragraph. For every person I've had talk about how the 7.3's cavitate, I've had 10 tell me how they've never had an issue. So idk, we'll see i guess.

    Thanks for the info. But you definitely don't have to worry about going .010" or .020 over. The person I was replying to was trying to act like any kind of boring on the cylinder wall was dangerous.

    Thanks buddy, I'll post pictures of the progress.

    I figured it would probably after the first of the year. Hopefully I'll hear back from him and I can get at least rings if not rings, pistons, and rods. I'm still thinking about going with a cam from him. That what the only thing that had wear on it was the cam and the rollers.

    I sent him an email last week actually and haven't heard anything back yet. Oh and I can get a wastegate delete with a 3" hoodstack or downpipe with that turbo kit for just another $350.

    Mine isn't factory turboed. Plus I thought that none of the idi's came with a turbo from the "factory". I thought it was a special order thing that the dealers had some 3rd party put on.

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    Yeah, I can go without them for a couple months. Im trying to get it back together as quick as possible, but my main focus is doing everything right. I want this to last me a long time. That's another thing I've been trying to figure out, should I get these heads redone or buy new ones. I'll...

    What's your opinion on a v-banded intake manifold? Think it's worth the money?

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    And I can get a 110cc pump from CDD for just $100 more than a 90cc pump. I think that's what I'm going to get. You have any suggestions for intercoolers?

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    This is the turbo kit I've been looking at.

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    I figured if I went with a reputable brand i shouldn't have to worry too much, but you're right, why fix what ain't broke. It's pretty easy to find parts, if you look. I was thinking of going with new heads because I can't find anyone near me who does head work.

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    That's what I would prefer to do.

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    How can you put one together for less than $300, I'd love to know. Please elaborate.

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    I I've never had anything with a turbo. So im still learning A LOT. Honestly now after I've talked to some people on here. I'm thinking about leaving the stock internals, except for the cam, to save some money and spend it on an intercooler. I'm nit trying to go crazy with it. It's going to be...

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    And I haven't said one thing about EGT's. Nor did I imply that forged internals had anything to do with them. So I'm not sure why you even brought that up

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    I mean exactly what I said forged connecting rods & pistons. R&D idi performance makes a set. But if you think I'll be fine with just a regular 0.010" rebuild kit, I might go that route. I wasn't planning on running an intercooler. I was planning on buying the CDD non-intercooled turbo kit with...

    I'm taking it to the machine shop in the morning. I've already found a rebuild kit with forged pistons and connecting rods. Why not run better internals if i have the money?

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    They say that, but you can bore them 0.020", 0.030", up to 0.040" over. 0.010" is nothing really, just enough to freshen everything up. Plus, like I said I'm going to put a turbo on it, so I'd like to go with stronger internals.

    1992 F450 rebuild 7.3L idi

    Just started to rebuild a single cab 2wd 1992 F-450 (super duty) cab & chasis with a 7.3L idi and a ZF5 transmission. I plan on turning it into a welding rig/daily driver. I just pulled the motor and tore it down to the block, and everything looks great for having 250k miles, very little wear. I...
