Origin of power stroke engine
Heard a comment at work, today, that the powerstroke diesel, is a gas engine reworked as a diesel. Have not heard or read this before so I thought to ask here .

Well, you did get one correct!!! Good for you!! And just for your knowledge, the 6.4 also had 10 head bolts / head. :B
Actually Navistar used 10 head bolts/head and the 6.4 PSD has very little head gasket failures so it can be made to work.
Ya, after Nav band-aided up the size of the head bolts! A 10 bolt design for a diesel engine is a retarded design. Ford proved this with "their" new 6.7 engine. They got the head bolt design correct on that engine..................the fuel system and the turbo's.............aaaaaaaaaaaa not so much!!!! :B
