CUMMINS IN-FRAME OVERHAUL

Yall voted so we are fixing the bottom end with some quick machining, some Wagler Street Fighter Rods and fresh rings on our project truck 2007!

@Horsetorques Diesel can I run a compression test by just rebolting the head back down on my 5.9 common rail? I've purchased the miller injector tool, but was hoping I wouldn't have to reassemble all the rocker arms etc. Just leave all the valves closed... Any advice would be great.

[@4wdiesels]

I know you say that this isn't the proper way to do this and that the engine should come out and get machined by a professional machine shop but a lot of folks have a hurt engine like this and maybe they are just trying to buy some time to save up for the expensive repairs so it's great to know that this can be done over a weekend in your driveway and actually yield decent results if done carefully. Nice job and thanks for showing.

[@coryridder1937]

Glad that hone works good, I have one on order. Glad to see someone using one. Not gonna lie, you guys have the best job ever. Super jealous. Keep up the good work. I love your videos.

[@sewkingwet]

great vid man, gotta love how jobs go fix something to only snowball to fixing like 4 other things, then on top of fix this and replace this while open and in there, lol. I just currently redid all my connecting rod bearings and main bearings new oil pump, water pump, thermostat, etc sens, timing chain kit, in frame on my 2001 v10 ram 2500. I was chasing a low idle oil pressure problem. great explanation on showing rings install, like this video. always like to learn and see others work and how they think and process mechanics and fixing things.

[@nicksvette]

I have a 2007 5.9 24v that has a pretty good knock. We suspect that its because one of the new injectors was stuck and spitting too much juice. I really appreciate this video because i hope that i can open mine up and fix whatever is knocking!

[@JeffinTD]

Good call on cleaning up that bore. I couldn’t imagine having the head off, seeing cylinder damage and suspecting broken rings, and putting it back together without at least hone/rings.

[@bernhard8540]

my buddy gave me a set of rubber vise jaws that go over your standard jaws and they made putting rings and stuff on so much easier haha not having to hold the piston while holding the rings apart haha

Very cool video! Appreciate the knowledge and tips and tricks. And while it may not be the perfect way to repair it, this may help someone get some extra life out of their engine before going for the full rebuild. It's cool to see the ins and outs of how they come apart and go back together. Do those rods come with the arp bolts standard or is that an upgrade?

[@timothyleyva1986]

Do you worry about the orientation of the rings before you install the piston? I know you mention the 180° turn on the Oiler I was just curious if you oriented them before the final install, also did you check all your clearances after the hones, side clearance on rods and also piston protrusion, I'm Currently rebuildingy 99, 5.9, 24 valve and I'm getting caught up with technical things as such mentioned, I blew my thrush bearing on my #6 main bearing, currently replaced and plastigage everything on the main bairings, (very tiresome),#5 piston was toast. Currently doing it on the cheap, using a interstate mcbees inframe kit. This video gave me the courage and know how just thought I'd like yalls input. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Curious how your build came out?
