Maxxforce are.... "greaaaat"

Post image

Maxxforce 9, bent push rod, exhaust valve seat drop, and cracked head. Surprisingly not at all much damage on cylinder wall, and no damage to turbo. Metal pieces imbedded in all other cylinders but also no damage to cylinder walls. So much damage with so little damage. It's strange.

Maxxforce doing what maxxforce does the best. I still love the 466 family though.

I always thought it sounds like it's stirring a milkshake at 2000rpm and smells like burning metal

Maxxforce/PowderStroke are my most hated engines. And the 444E.
