My 87' F350 Crew 4x4 6.9 w/ATS finally gave up, blew a head gasket! Prior to that it was burning a ton of oil, I presume blow-by as I could see blue exhaust smoke constantly. I bought a 86' 6.9 4spd donor truck and according to the owner the motor was rebuilt & has about 85,000. The motor is...- FlySAR
