International VT275 Engine

4.5-Liter MaxxForce VT275 PowerStroke

A variant of the VT365 is the VT275 4.5 L V-6, which is basically a 6.0 L V-8 with two cylinders chopped off. However, it uses a sequential twin-turbocharger system, instead of the single variable-geometry turbocharger used in the VT365. It is used in the 2006 Ford LCF (Low Cab Forward) and International CF (Cab Forward) (later CityStar) series trucks. It produces 200 hp (150 kW) and 440 lb·ft (597 N·m) of torque and is typically backed by a Ford TorqShift 5 speed automatic. The main fault of this engine since it is a 6 cylinder duplicate of the 6.0-Liter PowerStroke is the EGR Cooler, which leaks and caused either cylinder heads to blow or coolant mixing with the oil causing low oil pressure.

  • All the internal wearable parts such as bearings, gaskets, pistons will be replaced with Brand New.
  • The Cylinders are bored back to OE Spec, if the cylinders cannot be bored within OE spec then the block is not used.
  • The Crankshaft, camshaft, connecting rods are all replaced with either Remanufactured components or Brand New.
  • The Crankshaft on the PowerStroke are all remanufactured to OE spec including a hardness check and are Mag polished.
  • Camshaft are all standard as well same as crankshaft.
  • Connecting Rods are resized and gram weight are correct and balanced.For the 2007 model year, the VT275 was brought up to 2007 EPA emissions standards and renamed the MaxxForce 5Bare Longblock  (block,cylinder heads, all internals & gasket setLong block includes

Premium remanufactured FSEG injectors for IH applications are available for the 6.0 & 4.5 Liter International engines. Injectors are kept in matched sets through the disassembly process for optimum performance. After cleaning, all injector clearances are measured with precision air gauges to confirm and prevent any fuel leakage passing the critical high-pressure components. All air gauge data measurements are retained and stored by serial numbers and date. This step gives peace of mind that catastrophic engine dilution problems cannot occur. After final assembly, all injectors are 100% tested and data is recorded for critical engine application checkpoints, to assure a quality product.

EGR Cooler

  • STAINLESS STEEL TUBING THAT IS STRONGER AND MORE RESISTANT TO FATIGUE AND HEAT STRESS FAILURE
  • ALL JOINTS AND SEAMS TIG WELDED
  • QUALITY CONTROL ENSURES DIRECT FIT EVERY TIME

We all know that the Ford Power Stroke EGR Cooler is a weak-link on the 6.0L diesel engine. Countless owners have replaced their EGR coolers 2, 3 or more times in the first 100,000 miles, and they are not looking forward to doing it for the next 100,000! Are you?

Instead of replacing the Ford EGR Cooler, upgrade it with the Damn-Near Bullet-Proof cooler from Bullet Proof Diesel! This cooler has been out on the market since 2008. In that time, we have helped thousands of Power Stroke owners just like you cure their EGR cooler problems!

Gaskets are NOT included with this product.

We also STRONGLY recommend replacement of your engine oil cooler at the same time. Watch the videos below to learn more.

Fits most 4.5L Ford diesel engines. Compare your EGR cooler to the one in the picture before you order. Please call before you order if you have any questions.

NOTE: There is a fully refundable CORE charge with this product that will be added to your cart at checkout. Please click on the button above to learn more.

Bare Long block

New cylinder head “untimed”, crank, block & all internals new. Balance gasket set included.

Complete long block

New “Timed” Cylinder Head with camshaft, cam followers and timing gears, water pump, oil pump, oil cooler, front cover and rear cover.

Drop-In engine assembly

This engine will generally include the block, heads, valve covers, oil pump and pan, timing cover, rear cover, fuel injection pump with injectors, turbo, intake manifold, water pump, exhaust manifolds, and oil cooler. (Some of these components may not be included with particular engines or applications based on engine type.) Our engines do not include belts, hoses, sending units, air compressors, flywheel, fan blade, remote oil coolers, starter, alternator or any special drive units. The engine will be dyno tested checking horsepower, RPM and oil pressure. All phases of the governor, valve train and fuel injection system will be adjusted to OEM specifications.
