If you are getting to the point of removing camshaft you will need to pull the cam followers of the right side of the block, three of them with six bolts in each. Makes a big difference if you are just looking for something to run a handful of hours a year playing in the mud out in the back forty or will be using it several hundred hours a year doing heavy work trying to make a living. Not sure what your long term plans are for this engine so that info would be helpful to those giving advice. Unfortunately I don't have access to that kind of stuff now that I'm retired but if need I'm sure someone can get it for you.

The only thing that might get more info would be the S/N or in the case of a Cummins the CPL number. Thanks guys.Īmassing how much better info you can get with a picture! Like the old saying "One picture is worth 1,000 words". I will definitely post pics once I pull them. To reassemble it looks like I can back off the adjustment on the rockers to pushrods so nothing interferes when torquing. It was owned by a large sand and gravel business in northern Ontario so they weren’t afraid of spending money on equipment.Ĭan I just pull the head bolts to take entire head off together? Doesn’t look like there’s anything stopping me. It was in a gen set so that’s why the turbo it top mounted. I can see the block was welded, it threw a rod out of the side. According to the last owner, this Cummins diesel sat after a fresh rebuild, so maybe the lack of soot and grime buildup did it in. I was hoping this truck would be the same way. That thing sat for 12 years and started with just a new battery and fresh fuel. As far as diesels go, we have a pettibone with a Detroit in it. Would have been nice if the intake was covered.

I’ve worked on a lot of seized gassers and only had one that froze and cracked the block. Have to wait a couple weeks before I can get back at it. You can’t have a reliable high performance diesel engine without this extra attention to detail.Alright so definitely pulling the heads now. They are then tested, checked for leaks, and calibrated to match flow. If the customer wants to keep their original set of injectors, we can perform what we call a “clean and check” where they are disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled with new O-rings. Now the owner-operator has a blueprinted set of injectors all match flowed.

First we do the leakage test to check the barrel and plunger tolerance, check the plunger to injector cup for leakage and seating, and then the recalibration to increase the flow for more horsepower, and then adjust the top stop setting. Our new injectors are from Cummins ReCon. For injectors, we like to setup and blueprint every set of new injectors.

We work with the customer to pick the best code for each application and set it up according to their needs. There are thousands of pump codes for different horsepower and torque curves. It then goes on the pump stand to be tested. We then reassemble the pump with new springs, gaskets, seals, and O-rings. With the pumps we start off by disassembling them, cleaning, and replacing all worn parts. Many ask us what all goes into rebuilding fuel pumps and injectors.
