Damn...That sucks. Dealer covering any of it? Or is it your baby?
 
Reading his sig., I would say he's got the ketchup bottle out...as he'll be eating that bill.

Ugly stuff there..:frown:

the dealer is actually going to cover it, new block, head and turbo are on there way they told me next one is mine, which I am glad they even covered this one, probably going to put the truck mainly back to stock and build up another one for pulling
 
Treat that dealer how you would treat your mother from now on. :)

Sucks to have the carnage, but those are some neat pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

I second that, they are doing you a huge favor with all those aftermarket mods......unless your dad, other relative or good friend owns that dealership or something.

What kind of egt were you seeing, is there a lot of timing with the edge? How did all of the other pistons look? This surprises me since you have a water system on the truck.
 
all other pistons are good and the other cylinders still have the cross hatching in them i have seen 1800+ on short bursts with out the water a few times the edge doesnt have much timing at all
 
So they just giving you the new parts or are they rebuilding it? Looked like you tore it down yourself.
 
ok just talked to the tech and he was at training all last week and looking at the problems I had and talking up there this is what they decided more than likely happened, the valve stuck in the valve guide, which also caused the rocker piece to break that they replaced at first leaving the valve stuck open well you guess did the rest of the damage, they havent seen it alot on the 6.7s but they have seen it
