Cummins Tear Down Part 3

Cummins Chevy Project

[@karmacide1891]

I'm learning a lot about these old cummins motors from your videos. I really enjoy the detail you go into while you're working away on them. I can't wait to see the final product!

[@yourbeekeeper]

You are a brave man loading that engine in the back of the family ride.... Looking forward the the build videos and seing the initial fire. Keep 'em coming.

[@WishIHadACummins]

If you uploaded a new video every day, that would still not fullfill my need to watch your videos....these vids are so kick ass, i cant get enough, Keep em comin'!

[@GarageCrazy]

One of the reasons I want to get a sand blaster, they come in handy all the time.

[@cjlowndes]

Just finished watching you fit the brackets for the transmission or radiator fans on the Tan truck using a rivet nut gun! Now i'm a few £££'s lighter as i had to get one from ebay!! Love the video's keep em cummins

[@Kanesgarage]

Nice work on everything man! I like the attention to detail, that's how I like to do things too!

[@JostheRebel]

Made some nice progress allready there bro !

[@MASON858]

Great job keep up the good work!

[@edzgarage]

Coming along nicely. The sandblasting of the parts turned out nice.

[@RastaAlien]

love your vids man.... keep it up

[@TheDieselStop]

@777worldliner My next video will help you out the most. Lots of info in it. Thanks for watching.

[@JeffJamesoutdoors]

I need a sandblaster, but being the kid I am, I would be blasting EVERYTHING... Even the dog of I could catch him!!

[@TheDieselStop]

@dawg1157 Yep I did use a breaker and socket on the main caps. The machine shop will be putting the rods and pistions back into the motor. I am not sure if they will use Plastigauge. The machine shop will be getting video of the reassembley of the rods and crankshaft and some of the machine work. I will find out when I get the motor back.

[@farmboy30117]

It's best to do it right. I'm surprised the bearings looked so bad when the engine sounded so good. Good thing you caught it now rather than later.

[@2LateIWon]

@TheDieselStop I have a 60 gal 5.5hp so I hope that's big enough. Hey weatherford is only about an hour and a half away. Great Vid Looking good

[@rekjavicxxx]

Gettin BUSY in that vid man! Lookin good! And Thumbs UP for that new video watermark! :)

[@customsport]

Thats going to be one sweet go cart

[@2LateIWon]

i'VE GOT TO GET ME A SAND BLASTER!!!

[@BigDan855]

Coo videol! My wife said its ok to haul parts in her car anytime, but I have to ask first. LOL

[@TheDieselStop]

@cjlowndes The Riv nut gun is well worth the money and saves alot of time. Thanks for the comment.

[@daddytech]

LMAO that's my whole montra with when i buy the camera equipment i buy too, always better to ask forgiveness than permission.

[@TheDieselStop]

@KarmaCide Thank you that is good to hear.

[@TheDieselStop]

@happywombatproducts If the parts get wet and stay wet for a little while they will rust. It is 102 deg down here so the parts will not hold moisture & I put the parts inside.

[@randytune88]

cant wait to hear this fire up

[@TheDieselStop]

@WarWolfAngel001 It is not bad for a diesel it is just unburnt fuel. NOS or Propane will clean it up and give you that extra power out of the unburn fuel. With unburn fuel the EGT just get a little higher thats all.

[@unclebilliamtube]

love it!

[@Cumminsproject01]

Good luck with the wife!

[@TheDieselStop]

@happywombatproducts I am sure that you are correct. I use a acid wash before painting the parts so touching the parts dont really matter if you acid wash the parts before paint.

[@TheDieselStop]

@floppycock9 That all depends on how good it runs, how the service has been done on it, what kind of life has the motor had, The Cummins is known as the million mile motor. If it has had dirty oil for a long time you will be doing the same thing I am doing to this cummins. One thing you could do is have a oil sample done on it to find out if anything is wearing in it. With Amsoil you just change filters and send samples off then they tell you when to change it or what the findins are in the oil

[@TheDieselStop]

@happywombatproducts You can buy it on ebay it is called After Blast. Eastwood sells it as well.

[@TheDieselStop]

@rekjavicxxx Thank you. Keeps people from taking whats not their own.

[@TheDieselStop]

@2LateIWon That will work on the compressor go to ebay and buy a BadBoy Blaster I think my blaster was 400 to 500 I cant recall. I will be back up there to Weatherford in 2 weeks or so that would be the chance to shake hands.

[@Jthumper]

great video, your a good mechanic and like me, always does more work than needed. Wonder what caused those main and rod berring wear? I notice my 12v takes longer than id like to build oil pressure on cold starts?

[@WarWolfAngel001]

@TheDieselStop I see. I know exactly what you're talking about. I don't own a cummins, or any diesel for that matter. I'm learning from them though. but as for a vehicle with a straight six, I think my 4.9L 300 straight six is good enough. Idk, I like it. but I think you're doing a great job man. and thank you for letting me know. this is gonna sound bad and people will hate me but I think of the 4.9L straight six as a cummins gas engine. in a lot of characteristics, they're kinda the same

[@trx500fm1]

@TheDieselStop thanks pal! i was going to argue with you...but then i googled it. but, like i thought, it is the other way around...on gas engines! richer mixtures lower their egt and cht. lean is mean, but it raises egt's. didn't know that about the diesels, tho. thanks for the quick response.

[@DieselPowerTV]

I would install a 3 piece performance exhaust manifold on that motor because stock manifolds will crack.

[@madman1124]

@TheDieselStop thanks :), would love tyo get a rough idea, would like to get a smaller turbo cummins for the jimmy.

[@TheDieselStop]

@2LateIWon You got to get a compressor that can handle the blaster you buy.

[@TheDieselStop]

@WarWolfAngel001 Well there gets to a point to where you can over fuel a diesel and melt it down but it does not happen to much. If you push your EGT at a high temp for to long and have a stock diesel with alot of fuel and programer, stock pipe, not having a ERG delete kit, stock turbo, plus over size injectors you will get melt down. @ that rate pushing high EGT is not good. In my case I will upgrade to a bigger turbo, biggerdown pipe,bigger intercooler, 435 hp injectors No ERG at all,

[@TheDieselStop]

@RastaAlien Will do thanks.

[@TheDieselStop]

@trx500fm1 It is the other way around. Unburnt fuel will give you higher EGT's and getting it lean will lower the EGT's. Diesels are a fun game to play. Thats why guys will NOS or Propane a diesel to help burn the unburnt fuel making horsepower out of the extra fuel going out the pipe and lower EGT's. I have a new sponsor to talk about in my next video that has sent preformance diesel books that I will show you guys.

[@TheDieselStop]

@thebibleisfiction good it healed nicely.

[@thebibleisfiction]

@TheDieselStop Good to hear man.

[@TheDieselStop]

@Peppercatkeith Cool comment thanks.

[@TheDieselStop]

@madman1124 There is a BT4 cummins that is really cool.

[@TheDieselStop]

@josderedneck22 Thank you.

[@TheDieselStop]

@TinManKustoms If this was the back betty project it would get that 24 valve cummins BUT this motor is for the tan truck project. AFTER I get this truck done I will build the Black Betty truck. This truck is going to be painted in satin black and the black betty will be painted in gloss black.

[@TheDieselStop]

@GarageCrazy This one came off ebay 400 hundred or so. Its called a bad boy blaster.

[@TheDieselStop]

@tylerwhitt16 Yep.

[@TheDieselStop]

@FastMike5 The machine shop will be making videos of the work for me. They Rock.

[@TheDieselStop]

@edzgarage Thank you ED.

[@TheDieselStop]

@Bellefeuille66 That banks twin ram is for 94 & up. It will not work on this motor dew to the placement of the injection lines.

[@thebibleisfiction]

looking good so far man, hows the hand?

[@TheDieselStop]

@WishIHadACummins Thank you.

[@trx500fm1]

@TheDieselStop i thought that unburned fuel in the exhaust lowers the egt. lean mixtures have high egt. please explain.

[@TheDieselStop]

@MASON858 Thank you.

[@jenkins80]

@TheDieselStop What would the pitted tappets do? My Cummins has a ticking noise when you first start it.

[@TheDieselStop]

@PWRSTR0KER2008 Thanks.

[@TheDieselStop]

@randytune88 Me too.

[@TinManKustoms]

question what happen to the 24 valve cummins that you started to work on for black betty.Oh thats gonna be one mean motor can't wait to hear it run.

[@TheDieselStop]

@DieselPowerTV I could upgrade that later when I add twin turbos.

[@WarWolfAngel001]

@WarWolfAngel001 engine if you think about it. yes, one is a diesel, one is a gas. but, that 300 doesn't use a timing chain, it uses only gears. then I see the firing order which is the same for all inline 6s. plus, cummins like low torque curve right? if so, so does the 300. basically, they act like the same kind of motor. sure, my 300 makes like 275 pounds of torque at 2000rpm. that cummins has that thing by the hair but its a smaller engine and its not diesel. for what that 300 acts like

[@dawg1157]

Did you just use a breaker bar and a socket to get those crankshaft cap bolts loose, exactly like how you remove head bolts and rocker arm bolts? If you have to remove the connecting rods from the crankshaft for disassembly, will it have to Plastigauged back to specs when it gets reassembled?

[@madman1124]

when you are done would you be able to give us a rough price break down on parts. machining and time?

[@dawg1157]

Is that elbow stickin out the side of the water inlet a temp sensor of some sort? Looks like a blocky 90degree elbow thredded in the side of the tube. By the way, if that oil pan was so beat up like that, will that mean fabrication of a skid-plate of some sort to protect the new oil pan?

[@TheDieselStop]

@trx500fm1 Gas and Diesel motors are totally different when it comes to EGT's

[@TinManKustoms]

@TheDieselStop Oh I see thanks for the response.So you are gonna have two badass chevys thats gonna be sweet.Once they are done you and your wife are gonna have to have a race to see which monster is better.

[@TheDieselStop]

@CDNBadass LMAO I was the same way when I got it.

[@TheDieselStop]

@Cumminsproject01 This was 2 days ago. She got over it LOL.

[@TheDieselStop]

@MrCartman2578 I had a new tarp that I used and I did not get oil on anything so she did not get to mad at me LOL.

[@TheDieselStop]

@yourbeekeeper Soon.

[@TheDieselStop]

@daddytech LOL thats no joke, Its better that way.

[@TheDieselStop]

The motor is at the machine shop !!!!iiii

[@TheDieselStop]

@madman1124 Yep I will do that.

[@TheDieselStop]

@Gasser4x4 Getting closer to that happening.

[@TheDieselStop]

@RockinGuy1994 it is good now like it never happen.

[@TheDieselStop]

@randytune88 Why did you not buy it? That was like giving it away.

[@WarWolfAngel001]

isn't blowing black smoke... like lots of it... bad for the engine? not dragging you done, honest question. I keep hearing it is. but I am unsure being that I never owned a diesel.

[@WarWolfAngel001]

@TheDieselStop oh ok. was wondering. I keep hearing its unburnt fuel or YOU'RE DESTROYING THE ENGINE! I was like how does it do that? does it melt the pistons? I was wondering that cuz I saw that you said this thing would smoke and being that you know best on these diesels more than a lot of people, I figured I asked. if that's alright?

[@TheDieselStop]

@BigDan855 Your lucky my wife will not let me LOL.

[@chevydmax237]

is 279000 miles on a 24v cummins how long to overhaul

[@trx500fm1]

@TheDieselStop haha...apparently so...later on, buddy!

[@TheDieselStop]

@Bellefeuille66 I will custom make my own.

[@randytune88]

@TheDieselStop yeah got a story for you lol last night i ran into a guy selling a dodge cummins 4 sale some guy in scottsdale rich area around here and i guess he didnt know the value of a cummins with 151k it was the club cab long bed and wanted 2k for it he sold it with in 5 hours of posting i emailed him saying ill buy it went to bed woke up at 7am and he said it was gone lol only had a few coffee stains and dented tailgate who ever got that made out like a bandit

[@RockinGuy1994]
