In this video we show you how to install the pistons and rings in your Cummins 12 valve 5.9L 6bt diesel engine. These procedures also apply to the cummins 4bt engines. Visit www.adventurevehiclesnw.com for conversion parts.
Yep, at 18:30 , the #1 piston is going in backwards. It was either a test, or a testament as to why you should install the pistons without the crank in place. Seems like all that has to be done is carefully lube and spin the #1 piston around...
@@Jonesys 100% here to learn man I really like this series. You were so informative that it did in fact “look” as though it went in reversed to what you said. But thank you for taking the time to educate the people like me.
Kindly assist. .. 12000 of an inch would be less than 3000 of an inch , whereas for 4 inch bore taper tolerance should be around 750th of an inch ... Pl correct me .. tricky situation
Why do there seem to be holes in the top of the pistons? I know nothing of diesel internals, but I assume the design is to allow some pressure release due to the super high combustion. Am I close?
Kurt Dukes, what you're seeing is the actual combustion chamber. The underside of the cylinder head on a direct injected diesel if completely flat unlike their gasoline counterparts.
When the rod and piston are not installed in the block there is a fair amount of play between the top of the rod and sides of the piston if that’s what you mean. When pistons in and rods bolted to crank it kinda takes up the slack.
Why did u rebuild this engine is everything was. Isn’t that a waste of money. Was there blow by or something that u thought was wrong with it or was this just a how to video
