[@RapidStrike39]

[@ismaelmarquez8770]

[@ciscothekid9131]

Glad I watched this vid I know know where the damn crankcase breather is

[@racerjoe427]

It is a tricky one to find if you didn’t know where it was!

[@nickdiesel8018]

Very well done explaining everything ! Loved it !

[@racerjoe427]

Thank you!

[@joeyherring5942]

[@racerjoe427]

[@jackprick9797]

Great video. Thank you.

What is the torque of the valve cover?thanks good video

[@dptp9lf]

Great video! I need to do this as well. I was trying to identify what looks like a VGV actuator for a turbo down by the turbo? Is that a BD Screamer turbo on there? Cheers, Lyle

[@scumoftheearth160]

Before you replaced the valve cover gasket.. did you have mild white smoke coming from the engine and a faint odor?

[@jcast7091]

Do u kno the torque specs for injectors,rocker box,and valve cover gasket?

[@andrewmarian2]

Only thing this vid is missing

[@michaellevenduski7263]

Hey after u degreased rockers. U left it. Or ? Can I use brake cleaner

[@racerjoe427]

I washed the degreaser off with water. I guess you can use brake clean but not sure if it will work as good.

[@mrwilson4909]

ever figure out what those extra grommets were for?

[@joebob1503]

Good video. Did it fix the leak though. I have the exact same problem

[@racerjoe427]

Well after I replaced all the gaskets I noticed majority of the oil was coming out of the oil fill cap so yes I did solve the leak.

[@97502sullivan]

Did you torque the injector nuts down to a certain degree or just hand tight?

[@racerjoe427]

Just tight enough to do the job. Got to be careful there pretty small and probably easy to strip.

[@97502sullivan]

Joe Simon thanks. I ended up doing the who job today. No problems and torqued the injector nuts to 11in/lb, 18 ft/lbs on the rocker box and valve cover box.

[@N8Catona]

Are you on cummins forum?

[@Dmammoth]

Rocker box 10 mm bolt in front just rounded on me so im fucked

[@racerjoe427]

Damn it man that sucks. Let me know how you solved it and maybe it could help someone else that might be having the same problem.

[@codylynskey9693]

How did you know it wasn't your rear main?

[@racerjoe427]

Cody Lynskey watch my other video replacing my rear main.

[@codylynskey9693]

Thanks. I have some hefty leakage under mine. Not sure how to tell if its the rear main or the valve and rocker gaskets.

[@racerjoe427]

Cody Lynskey well you want to know something funny? Just found out my oil fill cap was leaking. Oil made its way down to the bottom of the oil pan. Never thought of that.

[@codylynskey9693]

Haha damn. they might as well put a giant main pan under the entire engine to catch all the oil these things refuse to contain.

[@racerjoe427]

+Cody Lynskey lol totally. I only did my rear main because I had my trans out. But I did have a slight leak from the back of the engine that dripped down the side of the block which I thought was my valve/rocker gasket. Who knows could have been the full cap the whole time.

[@whatsin5335]

Is that a VGT turbo on a 03 cummins??? How did you set up the tune?

[@racerjoe427]

Watch my turbo swap videos in my playlist and find out!
