• Full CNC blue print machining, (bore, deck, hone and line honed). The Cylinder bores are blue print bored to a true 90 degrees from the crankshaft center line, prior to being diamond honed to within .0002 inch for precise piston to cylinder bore clearances. *(See Video)
  
  The main housing is honed to precisely align the crankshaft in the engine block. We bore the block back to the crankshaft center line and hone the block for the proper piston to wall clearance. The piston diameter is measured to the nearest .0001 inch matched to cylinder bores. *(See Video)
  
  The Cylinder block for this 6.0L Powerstroke is surfaced to a finish of 30 Ra or lower, which meets the factory specification in both flatness and smoothness for the block to head sealing surface. This is mandatory for proper sealing of a MLS Gasket. *(See Video)

Common Issues With The Ford Powerstroke 6.0L Block and Heads (and how we fix them)

Check out this video with Cass. He explains the issues and the fixes of the 6.0 Powerstroke platform.

• Head Gaskets – We at CHOATE Engineering use high strength head studs with a 230K LB tensile strength to increase clamping load of the head paired with an aftermarket gasket that uses a larger fourth layer and cleat to bind the multi-layer steel gasket.
• Excess sand from casting process – Excess sand from the manufacturing process helped clog the oil cooler creating bearing issues, fuel system issues as well as VGT turbo and EGR issues. By use of our extensive cleaning methods thru media blasting, furnaces, spray cabinets, hot tanks, and ultrasonic equipment, we at CHOATE Performance do this to protect your investment.
• Head Cracks – The 6.0L Power Stroke cylinder heads from Ford are known to crack around the injector cup, leaking fuel into the coolant system. Our heads feature much thicker castings in this problematic area.

***Warning!***

The Workhorse Platform is built for the working man. Made to haul heavy. This is a man’s engine. Made to tow big stuff. If you don’t have callouses on your hands, or have a man bun, do not buy this engine. The exhaust this engine generates will blow the skirt right off your effiminate body. If you are a lumber jack, or need something to haul your traveling act for grizzly bear wrestling, this engine is for you. Built by Men, Made for Chuck Norris.
