engine builder said he was hoping to have the machine work wrapped up this week. which means next week is assembly. have to finish a house in less than 10 days, move my fiancée and continue wedding planning until mid june. hoping to get a day or two to install it fairly soon. guess it depends on how things are moving along. we will see..

stay tuned, hope to have pics and/or better updates by next week

non photo accompanied update.

builder has the block. all the parts, sans the intake/exhaust springs (60#) and a set of 4k gov springs are in his possessions. they are ordered and en route to his house. hoping to have a completed engine by next weekend.

first pics from the builder!





doesn't look like much.. but all the aluminum/steel stuff (injection lines, intake, compressor housing and valve covers) have all been bead blasted clean and clear coated. engine will return to its natural color (cummins beige of course) and i'll keep the hot and cold water lines to the heater core their blue and red. exhaust manifold will be black or course.  a couple of new rubber hoses to clean off the look. i'm giddy. i can't wait to see it back together.

motor should be done by next weekend. all the parts are at the builder. he was waiting on main bearings to be swapped out and for valve springs/GSK to come in. he told me he'd either start this weekend or on monday and most likely have it done in 2 days.

my dad got the glass today and couldn't stand it so he drove 30 min to the shop and put them in. i think he's beside himself with the way it looks and with the engine nearly done. going to have to thread a needle with putting it in after my wedding and before i head to NYC and ohio for nearly a month starting early july. but.. i think it's doable. more pics to follow once i get word from the builder.

Yep, the windows do ad something. At least getting the motor in is not making up mounts and all, should be quick.

Trying to get my burb at least driving but just bogered up the stock TBI (broke off blade screws)

after waaaay too much waiting.. the injectors have finally arrived at the builders shop. so hopefully this afternoon/tmrw morning he will have it assembled and possibly running before he's out of town this weekend.

Welcome to he photobucket hate crowd.

I'm sure you're in the same boat as me trying to figure out what to do.
I've got a ton linked. Not sure how many you have but I know there a bunch as well.

Stupid photo bucket.

Maybe there will be a class action or something keeping the old status quo. All of a sudden 1000's need to pay hundreds to keep a service that was free?

I never really licked linking things but always posted smaller pics for that reason.

so.. engine was cranked yesterday. fired right up. ran strong. no leaks.. or so he thought. 

had the oil pressure gauge hooked up. only get 20 at idle. 25 at rev. ran for 30 sec or so. didn't change at all. he shut it down.. sat down and was sick.

looked under the valve covers. not getting oil to a couple rockers. weird.

thought about it.. called another buddy who builds engines. asked if he has any issues like this before. the guy immediately asks who did the machine work. he told him, to which the other builder replied 'last one he did for me, he left the oil journal freeze plug out of the tappet galley' (where push rods go up from cam to rockers)

so.. my guy pulled the pump and tappet cover in about 45 min and found out it was indeed gone. which was just letting oil ooze out of the oil journal and not pushing it up to the rockers OR allowing oil pressure to build.

called cummins by my house this morning and they had a couple. so my dad went to pick them up as well as fuel supply washers to replace the used ones and headed to greensboro to help install and break it in once it's all back together. will know this afternoon if it runs like it should..

hopefully no accelerated wear from lack of oiling for that short period. I know from gas engines the first few minutes of run time are crucial, but I've got no real experience with diesels and their much more HD components. sucks, hope this fixes it for ya.

20psi is plenty for all the low end components.. which were what was creating the pressure anyway. the pushrods and rockers only see slight movement at their intersections, and it was only for 30 sec. the cam is what is super crucial, and it was a 'used' cam that checked out great when inspected.

but you're absolutely right. the first little bit of a gas motor running esp with a new cam are very important. the guy didn't seem to think that we're were any issues at all with it doing what it did. could and would have been had he not caught it, or knew where to look. we will see..

Right. If the cam was used, it had already been load hardened and should be fine. Good to hear.

yes sir. came out of an LP engine so it has alittle different intake and exhaust lift/duration. (apparently cummins makes an LP engine with spark plugs instead of injectors and a distributor run off the cam/crank with fuel injected in to intake horn..?) either way.. he said it would let it breathe alittle better. he's done a couple at school/in his class like that i believe.

Curious to hear more about how the cam does once it's in the truck. Sounds like a slight improvement but nothing over the top.

yea. i'm looking forward to hearing it again/seeing the oil pressure come back.

the cam is 'stock' but not to a 12 valve diesel. lol. interested to see how it does myself. i think it'll be awesome. interested to see what kinda mileage we get too. anything over 16-17 will be amazing. guy i know has a 12 valve swapped excursion on 35s with 3.54s and knocks down 24 mph on the hwy..

my dad got the plug up there and took about 3 seconds to put in. last i heard they have the pumped timed at 16.25* and reassembling everything to fire it up.. again.

my dad took the rad core support up so it can be plumbed with the radiator we have along with the IC and intake horn that it'll have on it in the truck.

back together. and back at the trans shop to have them install the filter extension and trans temp bung that they didn't install the first time around. so.. once that's done i'll set the idle with the optical tach i ordered, install a 1quart stainless steel overflow tank and hook up some trans switches for OD and LU..

stay tuned!
