Common Issues With The Ford Powerstroke 7.3L Block and Heads (and how we fix them):

The 7.3L engine faced valve issues due to factory materials, causing rapid wear. We use superior valves and thorough cleaning to prevent problems. In 2001-2003 models, powdered metal rods led to failures around 400 HP. We counter this with forged rods for reliability.

 

Additional Information for the 7.3L Powerstroke Long Block Engine:

We will charge the appropriate fees and balance all manuals to a stock flywheel we have in stock. Alternatively, you can send in your aftermarket one first.

Optional parts are not installed as standard.

However, it’s important to note that the manufacturer’s warranty covers optional parts rather than CHOATE’s.

Additionally, if you’re purchasing a 94-96 girdle IDP73GIRDLE, it’s essential to also acquire a 97+ front cover YC3Z6019BA to guarantee proper fitment.
