Thank you. Your videos are very helpful as well as your responses!

[@jonesd5o]

looking good pure diesel power is where i bought the muffler delete kit for my dads 06 dodge he is really happy with the sound of his truck and the fuel economy bump it provided with the muffler delete and a k&n drop in filter his truck sees any where from 23-27 mpgs not bad for a truck that weighs in at 8,600 lbs

Spring comp tool is nice..very controlled, especially with the heavier springs.

[@Graveltrucking]

I like that tool for the valve springs it is a lot safer less chance of a spring shooting accross the shop floor lol. Doing that job you hope your air line doesn't blow or there will would be lots of colorful language when you lose air pressure. Pac brake springs must be orginally for exhaust brake applications. Can't wait to hear the engine run.

[@TheDieselStop]

I am sure you will have to pull one to check and see & it is very easy. Some aftermarket injectors use the stock body & different nozzles so you might have to look on the bottom side of the injector.

[@TheDieselStop]

No doubt and you are correct on the exhaust brake applications.

[@Graveltrucking]

Especially doing them on the engine, patience is the key.

[@g6rida07]

cool thanks alot and damn your vids saved me lots of money and you do damn good camera work and also make it look easy and simple to understand...Thanks alot love the videos...

[@estalt957]

So nice for that 12 valve cummins diesel parts nice video.

[@SBCK5]

Can't wait to here that thing fire up!

[@YellowDB]

My thumbs up for beers and diesel motors!!!!

[@TheDieselStop]

intake exhaust These valve springs are 60 pounds overstock that installed. Here are the stock specifications. free lenght: 2.190" 2.190" installed height: 1.940 1.940 closed test press: 65-72# @1.940 65-72 # @ 1.940 installed stem height 2.110-2.130" 2.110-2.130

[@calicomradnot]

Once again nice job ! How did you get the valve covers to clear the head studs without milling the rocker arm stands ?

[@masseymm]

Great video, thanks for sharing but don't kill me for asking this but what exactly does the heavier springs do?

[@TheDieselStop]

60lb Intake & Exhaust Valve Springs 89-98 12 Valve Dodge 5.9L Cummins The seat pressure on these springs is ~115lbs at the installed height of 1.950. At 400 lift, the spring pressure is ~192-195lbs. At 500 lift, the spring pressure is ~210lbs.

[@TheDieselStop]

I can't wait till I do the first fire of this motor as well. It will be soon & thanks for watching.

[@SteveRobReviews]

Fantastic !! Torque is critical on a build like yours, just curious what brand of torque wrench were you using ? Look forward to the next vid.

[@TheDieselStop]

The boys at dieselautopower is who you should talk to on injectors & buy them there. Tell them I sent you. There is many different injectors & spray patterns so beware and do not get the wrong ones or you will have meltdown. You should match your air (intercooler & turbo) to your injectors. If you go over 40psi of boost head studs are recommended. There are 800 hp daily drivers on the road so you should not have any problems with your goal.

[@TheDieselStop]

A cam follower, also known as a track follower, is a specialized type of roller or needle bearing designed to follow cams. " The 12 valve cummins have a flat tappet & no roller or needle bearings". & yes the push-rods will be strong enough.

[@easytopleez33]

Hey Diesel Great Vid as usual. Got a quick question, when that head was rebuilt and the builder put the OEM springs in, were they shimmed? Cause we used to shim the springs when we rebuilt the heads, and it kinda looked like they were shimmed when you pulled the old valve springs out. I've done that job,before on an old 318 dodge with the engine in the pickup, lot's of swear words getting it done. And I would recommend replacing the valve guide seals while your in there as well. Thumbs Up!

[@howard574]

ive ordered parts from pdp. They are great to deal with and good parts.

[@TheDieselStop]

That air keeps the valve from falling into the bottom of the motor. If the air dies out then you got to pull the head off & that would not be good.

[@daddytech]

yeah thought about that after i posted the comment lol i take it forgranted with all the tools you have there that you still only have the one compressor and even if you were to be able to split the line some how you wouldn't be able to hold the same steady presure in the chamber to hold the valves up. i actually have 2 a 25 gallon and a 1 gallon but not sure the small one would run the tools sorry i didn't consider everything before i posted the question.

[@MASON858]

sick! this is going to be a mean motor!

[@SuBN01z3RaT]

that teflon tape was driving me nuts lol but awesome video looks so simple

[@TDuff306]

nice love the sticker in the background i feel the same about canada!

[@carbpumper]

they push the valve up harder so when under high RPM, the rocker arm wont loose contact with the valve or the push rod with the rocker, and have the piston come up and hit the valve. That's called floating the valves

[@london101937]

Hellblazzer:Thats a good question the onlything i would think of is it compresses the Pistons and Wont bend the valve maybe?

[@Pervasial4]

wow i am surprised that the springs do not coil bind being that much longer

[@MACcKERM]

Nice vid keep up the good work and vids

[@VicGord]

great video sir

[@g6rida07]

Can you do a vid on installing the govener spring? plz

[@adamgarlick3864]

damn logan lighten up

[@topfireman]

on gas motors you have to change the rocker arms for added power do you have to do the same for the diesels

[@klosnoski]

Great vid ! I have always used a piece of rope. just a little bit of a backup plan if the comp dies or something lets go. dumped a couple of valves in a SBC when the belt on my snap off compressor broke. life SUCKED!. Mechanical retention is my personal choice.

[@Nucul3arTOAST]

do you roll the it over until that particular cylinder is at tdc or do you just put air in where ever it is in its stroke

[@mhn3773]

How has your knee been? You seem to be back to full speed.

[@FMF666]

are your pushrods gonna be sturdy enough? what type of cam followers are you using?

[@freddythestandard]

i recently bought a 97 12 valve and the guy i bought it from told me a lot stuff that was done to it but the one thing he didn't know for sure is if it had injectors or not. To tell what size injectors i have would i have to pull them out and look at the nozzles or do you have any other ideas?

[@TheDieselStop]

LOL Me too that is why I took it off on the next set. Thanks.

[@TheDieselStop]

almost normal now. Thanks for watching.

[@bullitt1313]

So 60# springs and 4K RPM governor spring isn't an issue? What is the stock spring weight?

[@TheDieselStop]

Thank you.

[@TheDieselStop]

The Mahle Clevite truck yet to be seen by anyone.

[@EhCumminsFan]

looks good

[@TheDieselStop]

LOL I just heard the same thing from the power company today when the power went out.

[@TheDieselStop]

Shoot the questions and I will help you the best I can.

[@TheDieselStop]

It does not matter the air will push the piston down to the bottom.

[@TheDieselStop]

It will be a few weeks.

[@FMF666]

Thanks!

[@daddytech]

i'm surprised you didn't use an air rachet to do that job, would have been a lot faster wouldn't it?

[@TheDieselStop]

Thanks.

[@TheDieselStop]

Thanks

[@TheDieselStop]

Not for 60lb springs but bigger will require titanium keepers.

[@TheDieselStop]

Thanks for watching.

[@TheDieselStop]

I have videos of it. You will just have to watch the build.

[@TheDieselStop]

Thanks & your not that far away so that might be possible.

[@Cummins24v01]

can you do this without the air?

[@bullitt1313]

I was told that when the 60# springs were installed you needed to replace the keepers and retainer with the billet aluminum and titanium versions. Are these the billet aluminum/titanium ones? Do you think they are needed?

[@TheDieselStop]

You are very welcome. Be sure you follow me on facebook.

[@TheDieselStop]

I had only one air hose to use.

[@freddythestandard]

thankyou sir

[@dilauroj94]

so what truck is that motor goin in?

[@250ripper]

Is that an IBREW sticker in the background?

[@TheDieselStop]

For sure,.

[@TheDieselStop]

Now 4k rpm will be no problem.

[@TheDieselStop]

It just keeps the valves suspended.

[@12valvepower4]

this is the same one, that you didnt know would event turn over right

[@TheDieselStop]

I do not recall what brand it is. Thanks for watching.

[@TheDieselStop]

Yep that would be a IBEW sticker.

[@HenkAnnieNaald]

Probably that the valves wont fall into the cylinder.

[@12valvepower4]

doind valve springs is tough. the retainers are the worst

[@hudsonjamesc]

to continue, press 1 for english

[@TheDieselStop]

I was 20 once.. So whats your point.

[@TheDieselStop]

Would you really want to take that chance? Not me.

[@TheDieselStop]

WTF are you talking about?? This is my new Mahle Clevite motor.

[@TheDieselStop]

LOL.

[@TheDieselStop]

LOL

[@TheDieselStop]

Thanks.

[@TheDieselStop]

Thanks for watching.

[@TheDieselStop]

Thanks.
