6 . 0 L P O W E R S T R O K E F E AT U R E S

Rocker Carrier

• The aluminum rocker arm carrier is mounted
on top of the cylinder head and is held in
place by the cylinder head bolts.
• The rocker arm carrier provides the
mounting location for all of the rocker
fulcrums.
• The carrier also provides the connector pass
through for the injector and glow plug.

Cylinder Head

• The 6.0L POWER STROKE uses a four (4)
valve per cylinder head design to increase
air flow and efficiency.
• For identification, the exhaust valves are
smaller than the intake valves.

Rear Geartrain

• The geartrain for the crankshaft, camshaft,
and high pressure pump are located in the
rear of the engine under the rear cover.
• This allows the high pressure pump to be
mounted inside the engine and also reduces
geartrain noise.
