2011+ Ford 6.7 Prepped and Tig-Welded Crank

On a Ford 6.7L Powerstroke diesel engine, the factory crankshaft timing gear is only pressed onto the crankshaft without a keyway. Under heavy load, high boost, or high horsepower, this press-fit gear can slip, causing the engine to fall out of time and trigger a critical P0016 crank/cam correlation code. To fix or prevent this Welding the factory press-fit crankshaft gear on a Ford 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engine prevents the gear from spinning or slipping out of alignment under high cylinder pressures.
