19- Cummins ISX CM2250 Engine Base Timing. We Are Getting Close 

Wow what an amazing video. Thanks for all the knowledge. It was very helpful ! Looking forward to more !

Working on big diesel engines isn't for the faint of heart. I enjoyed watching

You’re doing a great job hun. Keep up the good work.

It's coming along great 👍

Don’t feel bad about dropping the feeler gauge in the pan ive been a diesel mechanic for 42 years. And I’ve done far worse things over my career ! Chin up you are doing things really well

Honestly if it was mine I wouldn't bother with the feeler guages in the pan its not like the pickup tube can suck them up bc of the strainer on it,and they arnt big enough to stop the flow up. Odds are you can get it out threw the oil plug anyways. But thanks for these videos, I've worked on diesels since I was a teenager and have always hurd horror stories about debris geting in the oil hole when pulling a isx head. So I've always avoided them lol but we got a guy wanting us to swap a head out for him and these videos you've made are really helpful in familiarizing with the isx,thanks

Woo. Good video, new friend here. Always full supported, best wishes for you. Thank you !!!!

great job thank you

Question about the fuel pump idler gear, I installed the front gear housing and the center hole isn’t 100% lined up with the dowel spacer on the block. All my bolts are lined up with their holes.

Thank you 🙏

Thanks ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Good job.

laughed like he&& when i seen that. cause i. did. that my self when in was checking a idler myself. sounded the same the oil. pan was full of oil. had to. drain out and took. an extention magnet went thru the oil drain hole found the feeler blade set and got it out thru the hole after that. i. put a long medium tie strap on my feeler blade set it wouldn't fit past the gears after that just a hint if you would like. when you torque the idler nuts to. 22 ft lb. mark the plate with the white marker then the bolt 1 hex back then turn the bolt and align up. the marks you made that way you have a good indacater when to. stop. thanks for the video. brought back some memories i retired from cummins engines after 40. years shop tech and road tech tmi

Nerve racking I tell ya!! Good deal👍✌️

Ever heard one run with excessive gear lash? Same sound as a bad throw out bearing.

If my harmonic balancer doesn't have any visible markings how do I know where to pin the engine at the bottom

Dang Warren! Sorry you had to take off the fuel pan again. Stop dropping them gauges. 😬

Hello can you please tell me what feeler gauge measurement that was

What size feeler guage are you using?

What number wedge did you use for the cam

the lash is .010 not .004, you should also cut your feeler gauge down, they are too wide to fit between the gears without bottoming in each gear, also hit the gear(ring the gear like a bell) after torquing the bolt and retorque do that until the bolt doesnt move any more, usually take three or four times

Think cummins requires 5 thousands lash. Looked like it had scissor gear. That needed to be unloaded. I also never use the loctite on cam gear. I use a brass drift and smack the cam gear bolt and re torque till it holds. Never had one slip. Runs quiet too.

You can use a screwdriver with magnets

I like the menorah tattoo 🕎

You are supposed to unload the bottom gear set your backlash for 10 thousands and your end result is 4 thousands between your top 3 gears after you reload the bottom gear

Easy to do simple engine.

youre damaging your torque wrench using it to turn 60 degrees
