Common Issues With The Ford Powerstroke 7.3L (and how we fix them)
Seat and Valve wear are common in the 7.3, check out this link to read more about that.
Crankshaft Runout-Inherent crankshaft runout issues a recommend due to the low-speed-high-load design of the turbo systems (high boost at low RPM). This causes the crankshaft to runout of round, taking up the oil clearances for the mains and causing catastrophic failure. We DO NOT approve the bending of the crankshaft to straighten, (which is common practice with many engine rebuilders) as material has memory and will result in a relapse of the original condition. For this cause we machine the crankshaft to a truly round and concentric state from journal to journal. This allows the hydro-dynamic wedge created by the oil to do its job.
Optional Parts are not installed. Optional parts are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty and not by CHOATE.
Building engines the way the OEM factory should have in the first place.
