That camshaft trick is awesome, the last time I saw a cam split like that was out of an old chevy 350 in my moms stock car years ago when the motor blew. Mind you those seemed to split rod caps after about 5500 rpm quite consistently so it was always fun seeing the carnage
Funny you mentioned John Deere valve lapping as I had your video playing while I was putting a John Deere Pulling tractor motor together. 6 degrees of separation I guess. LOL
Ring gaps; you always feel so good about hitting the factory specs right on the money then slap a big turbo on it hit 60 psi boost and butt ring ends together. Causing ring-land failure. Always go to the biggest side of factory or go read some forums or watch you tube and figure out what most are running and how hard they push their motor. Me I have a heavy foot and prefer to have no ringland failure
Nice build, thanks for the details. I’m in the process of building a 1000 hp motor but went with .006” PTW because that’s what factory is and my pistons skirts are Teflon coated. It’ll never see spray- do you think that is sufficient? Will be with compounds so hopefully egts are in check most of the time. Built with a 5.9 crank and .080 longer rods
I've heard mixed feelings about fire rings on a true street truck, whats your feeling on that. Also if the fire ring is all in the head how high HP would you push it reliability.
The radius cut fire rings allow for true daily use. The old square cuts are the ones that blew out over time. All in the head on a 12mm fastener 1250hp 14mm fastener 1500hp
The coating is meant to take up 75% of the piston to wall clearance to help tighten it up. When the piston and block expands the abradable powder coating on the pistons wears off to get an interference fit. It also reduces friction and can actually be used to freshen up old pistons to fit a hones bore.
I love watching the engine build videos. When is the 3k hp '07 engine going to show up? I've got 3 stock cams I've been saving for some reason....decisions.....automotive art.....or......3 seconds of destructive fun.....
Do you have any experience with the Aftermarket Factory Replacement 5.9L Cummins Block - from PDD? Is it worth the money? Because my block has a serious rust/water damage in one cylinder. And I'm not sure, if it's rebuildable. Thanks!
Are you ever going to try a steel piston again? I was hyped up on the Hamilton steel piston (4 ring design is sexy) till I seen yours pop at such a low number. (and seen all the shit that rolled down hill) Which sucks cause I cant find any real feedback on a steel piston in a performance application. I really think a steel piston will fit my application, but I don't want to be the beta tester for it either.......
@@horsetorquesdiesel I thought diamond was making a performance steel piston. Or at least they're advertising one. No idea if they really exist in real life LOL
Any particular reason why don’t you see as many bullseye or precision turbos in the diesel performance scene compared to FI and Stainless? Obviously stainless was designed with diesels in mind, that’s a given. Are their wheel designs more conducive for spooling on gas engines?
I think it’s a few things. Cost precision is really expensive Easy to understand, without really knowing turbos precisions numbering is strange to most diesel buyers Market drive. Lost of companies diesel specific market stainless and FI making the market engagement less
A Joshua what you set your sprint pressure at so I can tell Wayne at county automotive it's for me so I can tell him cause I got the 108# valve springs
Whats the deal on the 19+ pistons? I've been digging and haven't even found a part number. Speaking of am I stupid for even considering the 19:1 19+ pistons for my 600-ish horse tow pig project? If I've done all my figuring right it should be flirting with 1000 when it's set to full chooch.
@@horsetorquesdiesel Sweet! Good to know I have good ideas from time to time.. My thought process for wanting 19:1 was based on thinking the higher compression would result in a more efficient/complete burn. Are the 19:1 pistons the ones you smacked 2k with?
I feel bad for that block cause your gonna just send it to the moon, a how much do you guys charge for a core 67 block cause I actually wanted one of those
After seeing what the stock cam did when you dropped it on the ground....there's no way in HELL I'd use the cam that fell off your toolbox....jus sayin....
Let’s go brandon

Good times watching you build some American diesel muscle engines. You're becoming quite the pro at it! Thanks for the content!
You always make building engine look easy. Looks great

Great Video Josh!! Love the engine build content
Right back into the Cummins content!!!!! Right on.
Looks great guys, some interesting and usefull tips and tricks !!!!
i cant lie josh i love they way you recycle a stock cummins cam
Arbor press for the win on cam bushings
I like the prom pose picture. Good video as usual fella.
Just awesome as usual Josh 💪🏻👍🏻
Awesome video josh. Keep up the hard work.
Nice work!
Great video brother 🇺🇸💪. Gordon's gonna have a hotrod for sure..
I hope so!
Wealth of knowledge bro!!…awesome vid!!…👍🏼…Aloha 🤙🏽

Cummins forever 💪🏻👊👍
Praying for that dropped cam shaft! What's the significance with the '19 up piston and can the 5.9 head work on the 6.7 block? Steamports?
The 5.9 head can work, you just have to drill the steam ports and use a 6.7 head gasket. 19+ pistons are higher compression.

That’s pretty tight. I would keep it closer to 800hp
only if i could shadow for like a month...thank you for the content
That makes me want to take my stock cam out and get an aftermarket one no temper on that sucker
That poverty pump motor in the back calling my name 👀
lol
Drink everytime Josh says "send it"!
Sweet
I'm new to your channel and really enjoy watching. Is there any videos of you explaining each and every step and part to the rebuild?

If you wanted to you could send your pistons off to line 2 line to have them coated to help take up some of that piston to wall.
Why? I had the block machined this way on purpose
The coating is meant to take up 75% of the piston to wall clearance to help tighten it up. When the piston and block expands the abradable powder coating on the pistons wears off to get an interference fit. It also reduces friction and can actually be used to freshen up old pistons to fit a hones bore.
I'm surprised you still have the key to your piston ring compressor. I lost mine years ago and just use a 1/4 inch ratchet with extention.
Ya I guess I have miss placed it a few times, lucky!
Can you make my motorhome run like this? 🤪🤪
Sure if you have a big enough wallet
I love watching the engine build videos.
When is the 3k hp '07 engine going to show up?

Waiting on parts man!
@@horsetorquesdiesel COVAIDS.....welcome to the new normal.....
Hey if the gear is already on the crank what's your procedure for preheating before tigging? same for camshaft? thx
A torch for a few minutes
Do you balance rods, pistons and crank before assembling engine?
Yes static balance!
@@horsetorquesdiesel Would you mind demonstrating how you do that in a video sometime? I would guess more viewers than just me would like to see that!
@@ryanbrown918 he has it in a old video of building the og 07 engine
@@carterlyford2963 Gotcha...thanks!
Can you recommend a good build for a 5.9 block for a 2006 dodge Cummins? Want to push more power but don’t want to swap block.
Same build as this but just a 5.9 works well!
@@horsetorquesdiesel how much power would it be good for in a 5.9 version?
When is power driven releasing the ported head for the 5.9/6.7
Soon. To be fair I bought 4 outta of the 5 we got lol
Thats how I have always laped valves in on many engines the other way is this too damn time consuming lol
Do you have any experience with the Aftermarket Factory Replacement 5.9L Cummins Block - from PDD?
Is it worth the money?
Because my block has a serious rust/water damage in one cylinder. And I'm not sure, if it's rebuildable.

Haven't used them but I'd stick to oem Cummins
Dude you should of called me I got a set of common rail h series sitting here
Appreciate the offer!
