Good times watching you build some American diesel muscle engines. You're becoming quite the pro at it! Thanks for the content!

Great Video Josh!! Love the engine build content

[@bdjm8595]

Looks great guys, some interesting and usefull tips and tricks !!!!

[@peterr7950]

That camshaft trick is awesome, the last time I saw a cam split like that was out of an old chevy 350 in my moms stock car years ago when the motor blew. Mind you those seemed to split rod caps after about 5500 rpm quite consistently so it was always fun seeing the carnage

I'm new to your channel and really enjoy watching. Is there any videos of you explaining each and every step and part to the rebuild?

[@eliwillis1]

Sweet

[@witcher71]

Praying for that dropped cam shaft! What's the significance with the '19 up piston and can the 5.9 head work on the 6.7 block? Steamports?

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

The 5.9 head can work, you just have to drill the steam ports and use a 6.7 head gasket. 19+ pistons are higher compression.

[@user-nf3oq2ge3g]

Ring gaps; you always feel so good about hitting the factory specs right on the money then slap a big turbo on it hit 60 psi boost and butt ring ends together. Causing ring-land failure. Always go to the biggest side of factory or go read some forums or watch you tube and figure out what most are running and how hard they push their motor. Me I have a heavy foot and prefer to have no ringland failure

[@bandabanderos]

Nice build, thanks for the details. I’m in the process of building a 1000 hp motor but went with .006” PTW because that’s what factory is and my pistons skirts are Teflon coated. It’ll never see spray- do you think that is sufficient? Will be with compounds so hopefully egts are in check most of the time. Built with a 5.9 crank and .080 longer rods

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

That’s pretty tight. I would keep it closer to 800hp

[@ThePalmettoPirate]

Drink everytime Josh says "send it"!

[@TheProchargedmopar]

👍💪

[@chazgeisler6213]

If you wanted to you could send your pistons off to line 2 line to have them coated to help take up some of that piston to wall.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

Why? I had the block machined this way on purpose

[@chazgeisler6213]

The coating is meant to take up 75% of the piston to wall clearance to help tighten it up. When the piston and block expands the abradable powder coating on the pistons wears off to get an interference fit. It also reduces friction and can actually be used to freshen up old pistons to fit a hones bore.

[@user-nf3oq2ge3g]

That makes me want to take my stock cam out and get an aftermarket one no temper on that sucker

[@stevenmiller3330]

I've heard mixed feelings about fire rings on a true street truck, whats your feeling on that. Also if the fire ring is all in the head how high HP would you push it reliability.

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

The radius cut fire rings allow for true daily use. The old square cuts are the ones that blew out over time. All in the head on a 12mm fastener 1250hp 14mm fastener 1500hp

I'm surprised you still have the key to your piston ring compressor. I lost mine years ago and just use a 1/4 inch ratchet with extention.

Are you ever going to try a steel piston again? I was hyped up on the Hamilton steel piston (4 ring design is sexy) till I seen yours pop at such a low number. (and seen all the shit that rolled down hill) Which sucks cause I cant find any real feedback on a steel piston in a performance application. I really think a steel piston will fit my application, but I don't want to be the beta tester for it either.......

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

If someone makes them yes

[@graham2629]

Any particular reason why don’t you see as many bullseye or precision turbos in the diesel performance scene compared to FI and Stainless? Obviously stainless was designed with diesels in mind, that’s a given. Are their wheel designs more conducive for spooling on gas engines?

[@horsetorquesdiesel]

I think it’s a few things. Cost precision is really expensive Easy to understand, without really knowing turbos precisions numbering is strange to most diesel buyers Market drive. Lost of companies diesel specific market stainless and FI making the market engagement less

[@sauhacksch7591]

Do you have any experience with the Aftermarket Factory Replacement 5.9L Cummins Block - from PDD? Is it worth the money? Because my block has a serious rust/water damage in one cylinder. And I'm not sure, if it's rebuildable. Thanks!
