why is the international 6.0 and 6.4 bad?

On top of the fact that they look fairly anemic for the application intended the weird angled main cap bolting arrangement


They don't though. It is the angle of the photo. Look at the rods in contrast to the size of the pistons.

If there forged and NOT powdered metal i might be more inclined to like them more. but that goofy angled cap setup still puts me off.

and the dual cooling system thing just sounds like more to F up.

It sounds like Ford is going to have to contract with NASA to get technicians capable of working on that thing.

Just found this picture.

And another:

So apparently the off-set rod bolts are not a new thing for Ford anyways.

I am definitly getting a new 6.7 ford.

Interesting i never seen the inside of the baby Cummins. never knew they had a goofy rod setup.

The unfortunate thing is i been a ford man for most of my adult life. every vehicle i have bought that was newer than 1972 has been a ford. Unfortunately since 2003 i wouldn't buy another new ford diesel to save my life.

It was a sad day when i realized that i would have to buy an dodge if i was getting a new truck.

Knock on wood and thank a higher power my psd 7.3's keep on chugging along.

Yea, I dislike that.

I wish I could get a late 90's or early 00' DT466E In my Ford!!! But It looks like the new 6.7L engine will be good!
