I bought this, the seller did not know much about it, before I put it to use, reaming a head, I would like someone to tell me it is the right one to use on our trucks. The cutting ends do look sharp and the threads look good.

It reads on the side: "OTC F83T-9527-A
NOZZLE SEAT REAMER"

I'd only use it if the head was damaged/cut from exhaust or corrosion. For simple injector replacement it's not neccessary to cut the head, just clean well and install new coppers.
If your head is damaged and still on the engine, remove the glowplug and install an adapter and blow shop air in so that while your reaming it blows OUT the chips and debris.

I was wondering if anyone can tell that this is for a 6.9/7.3 IDI, in other words if its for a Pinto I don't want to put it in my IDI. I ask because I can not find the numbers that are stamped on it referenced to Ford , IH or IDI in internet searches.

I know the Pinto reference is extreme, but since the seller didnt know anything about this I was trying to make an extreme point, I didnt want to do another boo boo.

A Pinto was a gas engine from all I recall...:dunno This seat reamer is designed for any international idi engine.... It will fit both the 6.9 and 7.3 heads.. They both use the same injectors....
