turns out i believe i have a burnt piston as suspected. i'll be pulling the motor and checking everything out. going back with a punched out 6.0. in the process of looking for pistons, rings and rods. should be a fun build

My 6.0L consumed oil (1L to every fill up eventually) with no smoke or eventually a little smoke and an engine with no ***** everything else said in this disscsion is right on the money

I had 30 psi compression in cyl #7 and it was my exhuast valve
6.0L rebuilds are expensive I know , I would take a couple hrs and check heads first, from discussion with other and after seeing the internals of mine your bottom may be in good shape

If it feels like it is runing ok and you get up next to a Lightening and then the ego takes over and

Leakdown test will tell you if it's a piston or valve. If it's the valve, you'll hear air coming out of the exhaust port. If it's a piston, you'll have air coming out of the crankcase.
