Its ALIVE! Two liner kits, a new head and two injectors and it purrs like a 23k lb cat :) Still a bit smokey from the second liner failure that i missed when i replaced the first on DOH! But it runs great now.
I have no idea Matt. I gotta get this thing together and see how much I can trust it before I make any trips with it. Plus i need to get it registered and all that other stuff. I would say it probly wont be ready till june.
Can't really know for sure once the grenade goes off. If it was a failing or failed injector there would have been a pretty noticeable miss or excessive exhaust smoke or even fuel diluted crank case oil. But once it goes boom its anyone guess. In the past I have used an infrared temp gun to...

I dont know if you saw the pictures of mine but sounds basically the same. Mine puked a liner, destroyed a piston, and filled the crank case with water. I havent gotten the pan down yet but i did pull the head. Mine pushed two valves right through the seats and also bent the con rod. I have a...
The amount of metal and debris that has gone through the engine scares me. The oil was completely blended with the coolant and came out grey in color. I dont really want to take the chance of fixing this one hole only to have the rest of the motor crap the bed on me. Remember the liner is mashed...
There is a spider crack in the block just below the bottom of the Liner. The date on the motor is 2006 so it was either rebuilt in 2006 or new from cummins in 2006. The engine is spotless outside.
The piston has a clear crack right down the middle. It was either a defective piston, a poor rebuild in 2006, or way WAY too much ether. Nothing else appears to be wrong. The head gasket was intact and everything else physically looks fine.
I knew it was shot when i bought it. Curiosity got the best of me and I really needed to see what happened. I have another motor lined up and im just going to swap it.
Heres the pics! All i can say is That don't look right :cookoo:
The head is garbage, the liner is gone, the piston was in the bore sideways, the connecting rod is bent, and the block is cracked. What a sound it must have made!
I'll make sure I take some pictures and Bob thats one **** of an idea haha only problem is i have a rogue rod and chunks of liner in the bottom of the motor. Could make for great fireworks though :)
So i decided to pull the head on my truck to see how bad the cyl looks. Its the number 3 cyl so the middle head needs to be taken off. I have hit a road block. I have the head loose and it will move around quite a bit but it seems as though something is holding it down. I cant seem to free the...
