The original design used parent material for the seats. Consequently, they were known to crack from heat cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe valves of the 7.3 are commonly known to wear down well below the margins. With razor sharp edges which can fail leaving the piston to take on the remainder of the valve in the cylinder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe only use brand new valves that exceed OEM standards, which do not have this issue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy use of our extensive cleaning methods thru media blasting, furnaces, spray cabinets, hot tanks, and ultra sonic equipment, we have protected your investment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2001-2003 year model 7.3L's came with Powdered Metal Rods.
