Good ol’ Mer always there when ya need him. Fast forward 20sec. Josh drops the cam busting it to pieces. Its the thought that counts Mer🤣🇺🇸

I’ll have that video next week!

[@slowaf12v]

Nice Video Josh!! Really Enjoy the engine build content!!

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Thanks Mike

[@alex79buckland]

Another good video pal I'm glad I found your channel and the way you go through things and explain things it's spot on and to me it shows your knowledge and experience and I think it's a breath of fresh air to see someone doing it the way you are

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Thank you sir!

Thanks Josh!!

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

My pleasure

[@Xoner30577]

Gonna be building a 12v in the near future can't wait itll be awesome

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Very similar to this. Oil squirters are really the only assembly difference in the short block.

[@northwestcustom8531]

Kinda funny how all engine builders kinda do it the same way I've used tome Chrome socks for some sketchy stuff 😂😂 nice to know I'm not the only one

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Living life on the edge

[@1994chapo]

Bad ass vid only thing I can say is I put the piston Jets in after I install piston assembly but their way I just do it that way cause I don’t wanna run the chance of bending one. Bad ass vid tho very detailed !

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Used to be like that too, but I like doing it before so I can make sure the squirters aimed right as it rotates while I install pistons. Saves time but I hear ya!

[@diesel_delph9764]

Is there a way to pull the bushing back through without the 500$ puller I would like to avoid pulling the pan if I can

[@Dieselpwr]

I recommend cam paste

[@mylesswann530]

Is the crank thrust measurement the same for all common rails? I'm doing a reseal on my bottom end at 230K before adding power and wanted to make sure my thrust was ok or if I needed to bearing roll.

[@jasonchapman1223]

love the videos. i just got a 98 12v. would love to see a video on what you would do for a complete rebuild engine trans axles everything to make a daily big single street truck. was looking for just under 4 digit hp range

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Usually the axles are fine maybe check the LSD clutches really until you are pushing 1200hp plus or sled pulling factory stuff works fine. Get new u joints though!

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

It’s fruit punch flavored water. Starting to get warmer so staying hydrated

[@linusbarloonii237]

Awesome! Thanks Josh for another amazing video. Out of curiosity, any difference between putting in the tappets and j-hooks in before the crank (vs after)?

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Nothing wrong with it.

[@mementomori2353]

When you’re installing new rod bearings, after measuring oil clearance, should the bearings be installed with assembly lube or dry?

[@MrDippy-nm7xp]

How do you measure the pistons when putting them assembling them?

[@jdm_mike91_90]

Hell yes bruh been waiting for detailed on this.. thank you!!

[@jgsnipe1]

What pistons are you running for this build?

[@MariCustodio-gp9dt]

Do you have any videos on installing the rings on the pistons I can’t seem to find one! Would be greatly appreciated.

[@tylerhill6932]

Are u running a ve pump on this build just curious cuz you installed a ve pump timing case🤔

[@4Joe20]

Those the special edition snap on screw drivers with the metallic grey and red insert around the tang??? I have the same set. love them.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Yes sir. Definitely nice!

[@delirium_6.7]

What threadlocker are you using there? Is it the high temp?

[@timothymroberts2949]

Can you provide a list of all the parts used in this build(part#s)? Want to replicate this build. Thanks Josh.

[@localyokel1000]

Funny that they changed the connecting rod orientation from long side towards intake side on CR 5.9 to towards the exhaust side on a 6.7? Why?

[@davidbosch3779]

Curious what size cam u went with? Just curious cause u have valve reliefs Also from your social media u running bigger compounds so I’m curious what u went with Great video Just did all this today haha

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

188/220. I’m about a week behind on KZbin videos. I really am stretching my time with 3 a week but it does give me a cushion sometimes lol.

[@jaythacker5160]

Josh, anything special to welding the crank to the gear or just clean it up and weld in bout 3 places? You tig it or mig it?

[@jasontruman1215]

Always tig, mig will put weld splatter on the seal surface.

[@jaythacker5160]

@@jasontruman1215 Yeah, Ive been doing lotta tig lately, hadn't migged in a while. then the other day migged a part and was surprised at all the splatter and crap, forgot how much it splatters

[@jessieharris8204]

Do you know what Cummins 24v valve spring install height is? Having problems with Hamilton 188/220 with coil bind. I have manton spring kit. It is coil binding. My install height is 1.304. No shims or valve seal. The hat on the seal is .020

[@jesserasso1042]

Dam homie I thought I was gonna talk to you yesterday when I ordered I'm gonna be doing an engine build to I wanted to ask if you think I'm gonna have clearance with that bugit builder cam that 182-208 cam from piston to valve since you can fly cut high output QSB pistons

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

What’s your piston protrusion and valve depth?

[@2tweeds]

How do you keep the tappets in place when removing or reinstalling a cam when the engine is in the truck?

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Wooden dowels hammered in and pulled ip

[@agipegi]

Great Video Josh!! Verry detailed. Question: do you have like a link to the guy selling all bolts on ebay ? Let me know , I would like to buy a set or two to have as spare. Thanks man keep up with the great content !!

[@agipegi]

Thanks man !!

[@compted10]

So is their any benefit in a street engine to having the cam bore bored for bearings for all cam journals?

[@jasontruman1215]

Yes if you have a steel (not cast) cam or very stiff valve springs.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

As Jason said it allows for a stronger cam material. Usually a CR engine will get away at a higher power level with a cast cam because the CP3s don’t take as much HP to turn compared to a p-pump. We also opened up a couple oil gallies to help keep it alive

[@chukkaskate]

How do you get your engine stand to spin so nicely?! Mine will not move at all with a 5.9 block on it LOL

[@agipegi]

Same here 😂

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Wheel bearing grease on the shaft

[@gdc5ind]

@horsetorquesdiesel what is the piston protrusion for a 2012 3500 6 7cummins for a stock engine and stock head gasket?thanks

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Should be .012-.018

[@gdc5ind]

@@horsetorquesdiesel amazing. Thank you

[@njdevi11]

I wasn't following on the orientation of the oil ring when you said "dead center over the power stroke", looking from front to the back of the engine, Top ring 8 o'clock, second ring 10 o'clock and oil ring 6 o'clock?

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Oil ring 3 Top ring 10:30 Middle ring 7:30

[@Powerstrokepat]

What's the name of the ebay store or guy that sells the bolt kits for these engines?

[@MJP147]

How deep did you fly cut your pistons?

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

.040”

[@madmax700r5]

Surprised you don’t have your block machined for cam bearings all the way through the block

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

If this wasn’t a test mule on sleeves I may have but didn’t think it was necessary

[@bcbloc02]

As long as you are running a chilled iron cam there isn't really a need for the bushings. Steel cam and it is pretty much a must or if they planned to run it 100K miles with 150lbs+ of seat pressure it would be a good idea.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

@@bcbloc02 these springs are 165lbs of seat pressure. We have ram steel cams in regular bores just need a lot of zinc

[@jeffbeaird747]

Could a guy drill and tap the bottom where the J jets go in an 03 block? Just curious

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Yes you could

[@hadenjohnson2183]

Only low hp 03-04s don’t have jjets. Standard 305hp engines have the same jets as shown

how much does one of these builds cost?

Fully built with air and fuel probably close to 20-25k without a core

[@JOPPMAN8000]

Why are you using rtv, it’s a gasket for a reason.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Gaskets work in stock applications, they do not hold up long in high HP high rpm applications

[@matt98eclipse]

@@horsetorquesdieselhey bro thanks for sharing these awesome videos!! My blocks at machine shop right now and will have it back soon to start putting together. Im doing a complete Sri k rebuild other then mahle pistons. Do I need to use this ultra black rtv gasket maker on my rebuild?? Or just use gasket without any rtv?
