What are they going to do about the connecting rods. Was looking at pictures this morning of 6.7 bent connecting rods. The 6.7 rod is smaller in the rod area than the earlier powerstrokes. Rod bearings are also not keyed. What keeps them from spinning bearings.

Some things are great in the 6.7, like air/exhaust flow direction, individual rocker arms for each valve, giant lifters etc, but if they leave an important component like the connecting rod lacking, then the whole engine becomes lacking. The aftermarket is already into better 6.7 connecting rods, which is telling.

Speaking of connecting rods, here is a video from PowerStrokehelp.com that shows some of the workings of the 6.7L diesel. Guess he finally got his hands on a 6.7L engine.



Pretty good video, he covers many differences between the current 6.7L, the 6.4L and the 6.0L engines.

And yes, the connecting rods are shown in the video. Connecting rods and main bearings take center stage at around the 12 minute mark in the
Ford 6.7L engine

This video is of the PRE 2015 ...not the 2015.. It may not be relevant... Maybe it is??

How many Cummins or Duramax have you heard about windowing the block? I think the fact is that the 6.7 powerstroke has had more complete failures of the engine!
