Welcome to the forum. We could use some information on what you are driving. Year, miles on engine, displacement, recient work done.
Well I see you replaced one head because it was shot. Please tell us why that head was shot. Did you pull both heads and have them checked for work needed or cracks. Answering some of these questions will help us tell you whats going on. Ase you loosing any coolant...

I think you should start looking for a new block to get ready for another rebuild. while your waiting to get all the parts together you should find another shop to prep your new block the last guy that bored a 7.3 .030 over needs to be replaced. just like the engine....well the reman shop should have known better.

 

[braboy]

you'd think but the head that i replace had 3 welds in it . well if you have a block or know of one let me know gots lots of new parts i do

 

[braboy]

yes that means doner truck or by a good one an sell mine. but redone all but paint thats was next will see

 

[international]

I have a complete running 1992 7.3 with a leaking water pump.

 

[braboy]

dont think i can get there im in fl long drive with bad engine thanks thou

If you really do have a cavitated block, I would be tempted to suggest looking for a 86 or 87 model year 6.9L diesel. They have about twice the metal in the cylinder walls and can be safely rebored several times before having to sleeve the block or throw it away. Although most 7.3s that had their coolant even half heartedly monitored will still go for a very long time without any cavitation issues.

 

[joe f350]

it the fact thats it been bord 30 over befor it was bored it may have been fine but know that is has been bored there less metal in the walls that speed up the catatiion

 

[braboy]

well i think that the person that i got it from let it sit for 5 years with just water an not much else just one of those things i will find a new one
