[@user-uh1vq3bm2v]

My dad sent me this to review for Monday. We are working on a red truck that’s been parked for a while. I’m still learning but I’ll get the hang of it. Im only 20 but I wish I gotten into this a lot younger

Question my 12.7 1999 and 2005, the rods will not slide through the bores, how do you think i should go about this, put the piston in the liner then set the liner in the block, crazy, I've never worked on a engine that wasn't serviceable

You have to pull the pistons and liners together on the newer ones.

How mch torque for connecting rod and crank bearing cup. Thank you for the info.

[@jessekunkel7467]

Is the piston directional or can it be installed to the rod either way?

[@0698gingerich]

If there are no markings on it or the cooling nozzle holes only on 1 side then yes they can go in either way.

[@jotz007]

Are u suppose to lube the threads?

[@0698gingerich]

Always

[@Casey28027]

Setting rod caps at different torques is not what a professional does. There was enough oil that there was no need for additional torque.
