This customer brought her 2015 F-250 with the 6.7L Power Stroke in for an upper engine noise. The issue was narrowed down to cylinder 7. After suspecting a failed injector, we removed it and scoped the cylinder, where we found heavy scoring on the cylinder walls.
We pulled the engine for a rebuild, and during disassembly, discovered that it had previously been rebuilt. The piston in cylinder 7 had been installed backwards, which caused it to break off the cooling nozzle—starving the cylinder walls of oil.
The engine was sent out and bored .010 over. New Dualoy pistons were installed along with ARP rod bolts, main studs, and head studs.
The truck is now back and ready for many miles to come!
