REBUILDING THE 24V CUMMINS ENGINE!!! PART 2!!!!

[@TheChicagOP]

lol greg that end of the tappet tray is so you dont have to fish them out at all u can just pull the trey out in the end and it will carry all of em out

[@jeremybehrmann20]

This is by far the best cam/tappet video

[@ColtHund]

I really enjoy this build series. Hard to find informative and entertaining engine builds

[@georgesims6735]

maybe i missed something, but why not just knock out all the tappets and then pull the tray out to retrieve them in one fell swoop?

[@coltk2621]

Because the tray was in backwards lol

[@blatanttripod]

thats exactly what that tray is for. knock them all down and pull out the tray.

[@Hiperf]

Installing tappets. Its works good to use something like a long stiff straw cut down the center. That way you can keep the string going straight into the next hole. Then you can simply remove the straw while pulling the tappet in place.

[@amape312]

So happy for the 2nd gen build!

[@slofox2802]

So informative, reasons why I watch every time. Thanks Greg, keep it up man👍

[@baileybreedlove1155]

If you can find a small diameter tube the length of a pushrod you could slide it over the string and use it as a guide to get the "tappet installed" into the correct lower hole.

[@packingbone1953]

Great video Greg appreciate all the time you put into these videos. Really one of my favorite parts of my day is watching these after work.

[@domforte2966]

11:30 you could pull the string through a straw and pull it tight to guide it into the hole, and then pull out the straw. (For common rails)

[@bigbperformanceengineering6956]

Good call on skipping the gaskets. Anyways you’ll change them for the p pump swap

[@heavyhauler79]

liked this detailed video Greg, very informative on how to do it yourself. Keeps me watching.

[@wesleytruax2469]

Just did a bunch of work to my 12 valve. It's fun but nerve wracking wondering if you have done everything right. I went to turn it over with the starter to get oil pressure and it took quite a while I thought I did something wrong but it eventually got oil pressure.

[@milesdavis5190]

Get a short section of PVC or some thin wall tubing and stick it through the push-rod tunnel so when you drop the tappet puller rubber thingy it falls right into the correct hole.

[@Dirtyol12valve]

I’d lock tite the oil pump bolts while you’re in there. And if you plan on seeing a lot of rpm locktite all the timing cover bolts as well.

[@jaynosser9289]

When you're fishing the tappets back in slide the string through a drinking straw and it will help you guide them up through the block.

[@kevinz763]

Next time try putting a level on the block and jack rear of the truck up so rubber plug goes straight down in tapper hole that way it'll make it somewhat easier to get the correct pushrod hole

[@TheChicagOP]

exactly what i was thinking and ive never done this lol

[@trevormangus7832]

Use a piece of 3/4 copper tubing as a guide for your rubber tappet installer

[@rubikrawler]

This is the kind of video that I really enjoy. Thank you.

[@bigbusa881]

11:42 I wonder if using a straw would help position that magnet/plunger thing...like slip the string through the straw...pull the sting tight and position straw to hole

[@marcushert2759]

Thanks Greg. I plan on doing this exact cam in my 98 over next winter so it's not to have a good video reference

[@JustinUSMC0811]

Didn't you have a new timing gear case gasket on the last video for the 24v!? was waiting for you to pull everything and put it on, that would have been the time to do it, and clean up the timing gear case. I was thinking the same thing as Chris as well, you can drop all the tappets and just pull the trey with all 12 in it.

[@guilhermeschneider9408]

Why is Brazil written on the block? 12:57

[@stevehawton278]

The second gen is started to look nice

[@mikea1893]

try jacking the truck so the motor is level you can also us spring clamps on your dols or zip ties.

[@idahobuckaroo8348]

Great video, Greg. Really appreciate the tappet and cam shaft install detail. Very helpful. Thanks.

[@BUILTDIESELMAFIA]

Gona be over at UCC again this year Greg?

[@khall81]

Your 05 sounds so good! Thanks for the very thorough demonstration on the cam swap, makes me want to do one on my 05.

[@dillonbentley3832]

Looking to buy a 24v. Thanks for these videos!

[@shawnkeenan2576]

To get the Tappet fishing tool into the correct hole, use a big gulp straw

[@Lee01Mr]

The 05 looks so good in yellow. Should make the 2nd gen that deep red like the 1st gens engine :)

[@jayg479]

That KDP washer is better quality then OEM Cummins. 👍

[@dennisrcole]

Lithium grease can become acidic . Not sure about w/synthetic oil , check w/ AmZoil

[@W4BIN]

Was their a part three or even part four, this one is over a quarter old and I can't find a continuation. Did the subject change?

[@isaiahlunsford6373]

Definitely helps a lot and now in the future it will be a lot simpler 👍

[@gerardzubrickas2685]

When u press on the cam to the gear and then install the gear on the zero points would the cam have to be in the same exact place as the old one or it would not be true zero

[@allenkeith1846]

What size aluminum pipe did you use to to slide in where the cam goes to remove tappes?

[@mikestrucks]

Well done Greg 😬👍

[@samgingerich9764]

How I get my string down the tappit hole is I Jack the back of the truck up about a foot or so And that way the engine is setting somewhat level

[@johnstoker1944]

That "dowel of death" protector was pretty damn legit

[@hunterprowsemrereviews9141]

Awesome awesome video Greg A, gettin learnt with Greg A’s Cummins rebuild how to lol. Looks like you’ve done it a few times though lol, can’t wait to hear it fire up. And I think you was hinting at possibly doing a P-Pump swap on it in the future to get more power lol, honesy should have done it to start with lol, the VP is just meh lol.

[@josesolache8917]

greg where did you buy all the parts from

[@dwightparr4194]

Yours musta not had the upgraded front gear case since u put the kdp plate in thought your cover had grey rtv on it which usually means the dodge dealer did when they did a upgraded front gear case on the 98.5 to 02

[@Johnnyfreitas1]

That wrap screams! And it says Give Me A Ticket!!! Lol

[@jspeedadventures]

Aren't you worried about scratching up the cam bearings with the tray or is it too soft being aluminum?

[@joejermolowicz6378]

Did not read the comment before mine until afterwards but another one from the armchair Warriors all you need to do is Jack up the back of your vehicle so that your block is level DIY semi-professional

[@kylerdeese1252]

what song is that playing when your pulling the tappets

[@stevendiemer2833]

A blue chip red line box will allow that little vp44 to give you those big rpms

[@MoneyMarcMes]

Awesome tutorial!

[@MAGADT]

Good video greg! You're helping us out

[@skipman8yard]

Nice vidj greg very helpful 👍✊

[@austinalbrecht1537]

Greg could we have just a straight sound compilation from the ‘05 please.

[@Ray-tn6of]

Hey Greg, love the vids man! Would using fishing weights on the string work? Just an idea to give it more weight.

[@bobbycampbell175]

how hard is ut to switch a 68rfe to a g56 in a 08 3500

[@bpjr3870]

Hey Greg is this the same procedure for a 2007 5.9 common rail

[@frankperea9208]

brian piercy yes all 5.9 and 6.7 engines up until the new 5th gens

[@DesignsElement]

I'm confused... I think I'm looking at the same cam on hamiltoncam site but they say you need 0.025" piston protrusion and at least 0.038" valve face depth with standard gasket. Are you just oversizing the gasket? Maybe I missed something about that head you were using.

[@dontworryaboutit1]

If your head and block hasn't been resurfaced you should be good to go, those are the clearences necessary if you've had machining done so you know bare minimum to retain at least .040 piston to valve clearence

[@UNKNOWN-zb3qm]

23:16 don't even got one, just learning the ins and outs

[@bl6ckm6xx91]

“10:51”. “That’s the wrong hole Greg.” Should of used a that’s what she said clip. Love the videos keep up the great content.

[@alexz7811]

Can you use the stock push rods with this cam if they show no excessive wear?

[@frankperea9208]

Alex Z if you’re going to be putting an aftermarket cam in the thing I assume you’re planning on pushing some decent power, pushrods are cheap insurance, might as well do them too

[@jimmykuprienko852]

You could have jacked up the rear of the truck so the motor would be sitting level

[@fc3sboy1]

The torques bolts is normal on the 89.5 to 02 .

[@justinphilbin8313]

No it’s only 01-02 motors, 98.5-00 have a 11mm headed bolts.

[@fc3sboy1]

@@justinphilbin8313 funny the 2 98.5 blocks I tore down had them

[@desertchevy]

Is a press necessary for removal and installation of the cam gear

[@kylesonsalla7620]

To do it right, yes.

[@desertchevy]

Thanks

[@TylerB175]

The only reason the engine is slanted is because from factory they built the truck with the rake and made the engine sit level so when you level the truck it makes them sit unlevel

[@montanawiseman6884]

When putting a new cam like that size do you have to change the tappets?

[@dustindrake6272]

Flat tappets ware to the cam they are on if I am correct unlike the lifters in a more modern gas car or truck

[@daviddroescher]

Hamilton states you have to buy/install there tappets with the new cam for the warranty to be valid. Just finished installing a 178/208 (30min ago) in myl ate 1st gen. Defiantly easter to do with the pan off.

[@96owner]

Saying the oil pumps don't fail do you mean the 24v ones and thats why you put a 24v pump in the 12v or just in general they last much longer then the milage you have.

[@bigmurph1447]

They last a long time. My 96 12v has 460000miles on it with the original oil pump.

[@Dirtyol12valve]

People put 24v pumps in 12valves not because they last longer but because the flow better. I think 30% more

[@joejermolowicz6378]

Here's a dumb question but why not just knock them all out and then slide the tray out and get them instead of wasting the time to pull them out one by one with the little hooky

[@helgenguard]

Look at Cummins being a sweetheart not making you count teeth

[@jakeunger6505]

Where did you get the fuel filter delete on the 2nd gen?

[@cmorga43morga69]

If greg ever replied to comments... ive been wondering the same thing!

[@mannypuerta5086]

He replace the stock lift pump with an Airdog filter/pump mounted near the fuel tank. Just remove the stock pump. FASS offers the same type system.

[@jakeunger6505]

Manny Puerta I have a air dog but I mean like what to do the the connectors and the return line

[@mannypuerta5086]

Jake Unger My FASS Titanium came with all the hardware and hoses for that. Don’t know about the Airdog.

[@justindowlearn4562]

Irk if I missed it. But what can is he putting in it tried going back to see if he said ? Anyone?

[@larryrenard8125]

Why not Jack the back the truck to level it.

[@94aph]

40th like! Seen the notification and instantly clicked. Great content as always.

[@robinnewcomb2531]

You're NOT changing that inner gasket?? But, you're 90% there! If it's not leaking now, it will when you've got it all back together...

[@keiferjanz3197]

Robin Newcomb pretty half assed if you ask me

[@lukejacob3340]

It's because there is most likely a p pump swap and you have to change the gear housing anyway

[@keiferjanz3197]

Luke Jacob p-pump swap or not your going all the way to doing a cam shaft and are 10 bolts away from changing a gasket that fails often... plus how expensive is the gasket, not very much.... the logic behind the decision to not do it is very little and half assed...

[@liamjhogan]

10:55 that’s what she said 👌🏽🤣

[@gunnerollhoffstoerzer3531]

Anybody else catch it he said put the new ve pump on instead of vp

[@burton1214]

You can make that cummins tappet removal kit for about $20 for anyone thats interested, list price is $300 for the kit, classic cummins price gouging

[@purepanorama8484]

do you know the lengths of the wooden dowels? They're a 1/2 inch dowel I think? $300 bucks for that kit is stupid. What do they think they engineered some high end masterpieces for that thing? lmao damn

[@burton1214]

@@purepanorama8484 they are 1/2" dowels, i cut 10 of them at 14" and then 2 of them at like 12.5-13 because of #6 cylinder, there was interference between the engine and the cowl on my ford, dont know if youll have an issue on the dodges. the tube i used to catch the lifters i had scrap left over, but you can buy a 3ft tube from McMaster-Carr for like $20-30 if you have to, but im sure theres cheaper options out there. i found a rubber grommet thing from lowes to stick in the lifter and just used paracord for the string and used a magnet to retrieve lifters.

[@ontopgarage1530]

What happened to johnny the scrap truck on the channel

[@lukejacob3340]

He started his own

[@douglasm1552]

Greg. You’re not supposed to look at cam bearings. If you don’t look they are good

[@smcox1991]

You’re in that far you might as well change the gaskets now!

[@vg30detmonster]

yeah right!! Your camera dies as your trying to figure out how to get the cam in the rest of the way..

[@hellrazer4565t]

You crack jokes on ford yet Cummings makes a wooding doll rod kit and fishing rope to change tapits lol keep up the good work and keep em clean

[@MrFlashHandy]

BHallin “Cummings” definitely a Ford guy.. lol

[@Frangulate]

😂😂😂 wooding doll rod

[@diesellover6411]

What does this guy do for work man his truck builds are super expensive

[@jippys1]

If you had that tray in right can't you just put all the old tappet's and pull that tray out with them in the tray.

[@__Cperez]

damn it boy 🤙🏽🤙🏽
