Did your piston kit have the 3 machined holes on tge underside of the piston? I bought a ginuine cummins rebuild kit and my pistons did not have the holes. My old ones did. Almost like the holes allowed oil up further into the piston through the holes.
Thanks for the compliment! I had a tripod, but I will have to get a better one that I can clip and un-clip faster. Trying to get mine off the tripod to bring it in for a detail shot was a pain. I appreciate the encourage for making the video quality better.
Hey there! Sorry for missing your comment! We use a Lisle 21700 wrinkle band compressor. Here is where we got ours ebay.us/Jb4uhp (Its an affiliate link, but doesn't cost you anything extra! We appreciate any extra help to keep the channel going!) We have used a bunch of ring compressors over the years ( and broken a bunch) and this is by FAR the easiest to work with. The only thing we didn't like about it when we first got it was that the band is adjustable with a hook. It would try and flip off the hook when we were moving between pistons. We simple took a ball peen hammer and made the hook a little more aggressive. Never had any issues since then. It does 5.9 and 6.7 pistons with easy! Best of luck, Doug
You keep saying ring seating! That’s incorrect ring seating is what happens when you run the engine for a certain amount of time to “SEAT” the rings to the walls of the cylinder seating is known as a break in process! What you are doing there is compressing the rings to install the piston! Definitely not seating the rings
Thanks for you massage and sorry that we hit such a nerve! I was using the dictionary definition of "seating" not the mechanical sense of the word. Later in the video, I used the word seat to refer to the ring compressor being flat against the deck of the block. After that, I said "seating the piston", not the rings. Later still than that, I did say that you could "hear the rings seat". Again traditional sense of the word, but that is accurate. They "sat" against the wall when they came out of the ring compressor. The motor is clearly not running and I never imagined that someone who assume that I was trying say that I was initiating the process of breaking in the motor. If anyone got the wrong meaning, I truly apologize. Thank you for helping me make that more clear!
THANK YOU SIR
You are very welcome! We are always happy to help out any way we can.

Hey Seth! You know... I feel like I saw those holes you were talking about, but I will have to go down to the shop and grab a piston and take a look!
Great content. Also, get a tripod for your camera!

Who makes the ring compressor?

Your really going to cry about him saying seating. You need something better to do.
@@anaconda7540 that comment was from 2 years ago if anyone needs something better to do its you dumbass!
