    Interesting...tubes were replaced but not sure if tubes injectors sit in were replaced...guess it doesn't matter now as a new head will resolve that problem?

    New head will not come with injector fuel tubes. Double check with your tech.
    I personally on my boat have resused fuel tubes a second time, i have had some leakers. That's why my customets always get new fuel tubes and probably the only ddc part we always have on hand.

    Boomer!...My mechanic replace the injectors last year on my 471 Ti port side engine and soon after I noticed my oil slowly rising up on the dip stick, along with the thin oil feeling. Turned out to be just one of the tubes Capt Ralph was talking about was leaking. He replaced with a new one and all is fine 200 hours later.
    Good luck with entire rebuild or builds...

    Btw..final decision on what caused valve to drop...the retainer on the top of valve that keeps it from dropping apparently gave up and let go....thus the valve dropped in....10 cent part

    Hard to believe a 10 cent part would cause all these issues...even engine survey wouldn't pick that up

    Gad I miss working on straight 6s. That's what I started on when I was a kid.
    The bottom end of a 671 is a brute.
    I still don't think there is a crankshaft of any mfg that can take so much abuse and stay in fine shape. Sadly, The valves and pistons don't when the H P is poured on.
    Their still my fave.
