Tcall Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I am not a happy camper right now, I just found out to fix my oil leak they to basically take my engine apart to fix! My who at Ford decided to use silicone as a pan gasket? They should be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Upper, lower or front cover? All common leak areas on a 6.7, and I have seen a lot of uppers misdiagnosed when it is the front cover leaking down near the tee joint to the upper. All can be done in chassis, but for the upper and front cover the trans has to come out. The 6.7 was one of the very last engines that Ford used a gasket and then only the upper pan to block. But I wanna say that was 2013, but don't quote me on that. But even then, the lower was sealant. The 7.3 DIT NEVER had a pan gasket. They leaked literally everywhere else though. The 6.0 and 6.4 had gaskets on the bedplate, but they leaked. Is the repair out of pocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artenglert Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 What year is your 6.7? Does anyone know if Ford corrected the issue on later models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early 6.7 had a gasketed upper pan. All late 6.7 have sealant between the upper pan and block, and the lower to upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddestt Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I thought the 2020/2021's took care of this issue with strong bond sealant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
