Hi; I used to rebuild engines, and one of the things I did to the block deck to clean it up, and assure even pressure across the deck was to use a file a little wider than the block and move it front to back at an angle until the surface is clean and smooth. This assures that the deck is done evenly, with no dimples or missed spots. Inside the cylinders I place small pellet magnets to collect whatever filings enter, then vacuum everything. After scraping the main gunk off with a scraper, I start the main cleaning with a fine file. This way the block has no uneven spots anywhere

This is one of the first times I have seen a parts manufacturer and youtuber mention the importance of reaching torque values while the torque wrench is in motion. It takes more torque to get the nut to start moving than it takes to keep it moving. So glad you put that in the final edit. As always, another great video.

First big job I ever did on a cummins was the head gasket on my 2000 24v. I did a fire ringed gasket from Scheid and ARP head studs as well. I used a couple tiny dabs of super glue to hold my rings in place on the head. No need to worry about alignment. As long has you’re on the the dowels you’re good. Fire rings aren’t that hard as long as you take your time and have a good machinist. To anyone considering it, go for it.

my old man taught me a great tip when installing studs or bolts every 2 bolts go back to the beginning of the sequence (for example if you just did #7 and #8 go back to #1 and #2 and work your way back up in the sequence.. its very time consuming but i was actually surprised to see how much on the first torque how much more you can get out of them, it also ensures every single bolt is exactly where it needs to be and ensures your not warping the head (especially on small engines , i use that method every time

It’s kinda funny how far behind the diesel world is when is comes to in depth motor work. Also, you can use tack rags, “painters rags” right before you place the head on, will ensure that even the little things are gone. 👍

Great content! Thank you for showing the tight way to clean a block. 95% of the gasket seals within 1/4” of the cylinder so even if you are perfectly smooth with your air tool, that is the thinnest part of the head so it will take the most material off in the most important part

Hi Greg, don’t know if you know this but make sure the washers by the rocker arm assembly mounting holes are as far out as they go otherwise they will get in the way and the rocker arm assembly won’t line up to the mounting holes. I had this happen on 2 of them when I did my IFG studs, Had to loosen, adjust and re-torque. Just a heads up. Keep up the great content. 👍🏽

Another interesting find I’ve come across. The heads on 13 up trucks are different casting than previous heads. You’ll notice on the undersurface of the later model heads 2 circular divots cut out between both exhaust valves and between one exhaust valve and one intake valve. These later heads have larger diameter holes that the head bolts go thru and they allow more movement of the stud in the axial direction when torquing. This often results in the washer pressing against the rocker pedestal. This necessitates clearancing the rocker pedestal some with a grinder or mill if u can. I’ve done them with a grinder. At first I thought the rocker pedestal was different because the new ones have their part number on them. But after measuring and comparing the newer pedestals with the old ones I found they are identical.
