So much great content to be able to help the novice engine builders to feel comfortable assembling and building one. Thanks again for all the content you share.
Thanks for always replying ! About to do my valve springs, push rods, and valve spring billet bridges from PDDiesel your shop !! Thanks for your wisdom :)
Another good video pal I'm glad I found your channel and the way you go through things and explain things it's spot on and to me it shows your knowledge and experience and I think it's a breath of fresh air to see someone doing it the way you are
Awesome! Thanks Josh for another amazing video. Out of curiosity, any difference between putting in the tappets and j-hooks in before the crank (vs after)?
Is the crank thrust measurement the same for all common rails? I'm doing a reseal on my bottom end at 230K before adding power and wanted to make sure my thrust was ok or if I needed to bearing roll.
Bad ass vid only thing I can say is I put the piston Jets in after I install piston assembly but their way I just do it that way cause I don’t wanna run the chance of bending one. Bad ass vid tho very detailed !
Used to be like that too, but I like doing it before so I can make sure the squirters aimed right as it rotates while I install pistons. Saves time but I hear ya!
love the videos. i just got a 98 12v. would love to see a video on what you would do for a complete rebuild engine trans axles everything to make a daily big single street truck. was looking for just under 4 digit hp range
Usually the axles are fine maybe check the LSD clutches really until you are pushing 1200hp plus or sled pulling factory stuff works fine. Get new u joints though!
@@jasontruman1215 Yeah, Ive been doing lotta tig lately, hadn't migged in a while. then the other day migged a part and was surprised at all the splatter and crap, forgot how much it splatters
Curious what size cam u went with? Just curious cause u have valve reliefs Also from your social media u running bigger compounds so I’m curious what u went with Great video Just did all this today haha
As Jason said it allows for a stronger cam material. Usually a CR engine will get away at a higher power level with a cast cam because the CP3s don’t take as much HP to turn compared to a p-pump. We also opened up a couple oil gallies to help keep it alive
order of operation question: if your using plastigage, would you want to assemble with out rings first, check, take apart, then ring it? when measuring crank/cam thrust - should you do that before the rest of the rotational assembly? incase machining or new trust bearings are needed?
You should be measuring the crank filet long before it's ever in, and you should be checking thrust bearing spacing on the cap before it's ever installed. Dial bore gauge prevents using any plastigage
Is that engine stand using just a harbor freight setup and are you bolting it to just the engine mount bolts? Idk why I can’t mine to fit on anything. Any pics you could send me of your setup?
Dam homie I thought I was gonna talk to you yesterday when I ordered I'm gonna be doing an engine build to I wanted to ask if you think I'm gonna have clearance with that bugit builder cam that 182-208 cam from piston to valve since you can fly cut high output QSB pistons
Do you know what Cummins 24v valve spring install height is? Having problems with Hamilton 188/220 with coil bind. I have manton spring kit. It is coil binding. My install height is 1.304. No shims or valve seal. The hat on the seal is .020
I wasn't following on the orientation of the oil ring when you said "dead center over the power stroke", looking from front to the back of the engine, Top ring 8 o'clock, second ring 10 o'clock and oil ring 6 o'clock?
Great Video Josh!! Verry detailed. Question: do you have like a link to the guy selling all bolts on ebay ? Let me know , I would like to buy a set or two to have as spare. Thanks man keep up with the great content !!
As long as you are running a chilled iron cam there isn't really a need for the bushings. Steel cam and it is pretty much a must or if they planned to run it 100K miles with 150lbs+ of seat pressure it would be a good idea.
@@horsetorquesdieselhey bro thanks for sharing these awesome videos!! My blocks at machine shop right now and will have it back soon to start putting together. Im doing a complete Sri k rebuild other then mahle pistons. Do I need to use this ultra black rtv gasket maker on my rebuild?? Or just use gasket without any rtv?

Appreciate the support man! Thanks for watching!
Love this channel, learn something new every time to help me with my builds!!
Awesome glad it helps!

I’ll have that video next week!
Nice work. Great detail as always
Thank you!
Excellent work dude! Always high quality content from you. Love the channel! 👍👍

Thank you sir!
Good ol’ Mer always there when ya need him.
Fast forward 20sec. Josh drops the cam busting it to pieces. Its the thought that counts Mer🤣🇺🇸
Very helpful always look forward to these vids 👌👌
Thanks!
Nice Video Josh!! Really Enjoy the engine build content!!
Thanks Mike
Indian tack is my go to. Stuff has never let me down
Very nice work Josh 👌🏻 awesome helpful video as usual !!
As always appreciate the comments man!
Hell Yeah Brother
Nice work bub! God gave you a gift with trucks that’s for sure love the vids keep em comin!
Appreciate it!

Nothing wrong with it.

My pleasure
Gonna be building a 12v in the near future can't wait itll be awesome
Very similar to this. Oil squirters are really the only assembly difference in the short block.

How do you measure the pistons when putting them assembling them?

@@horsetorquesdiesel thank you
Those the special edition snap on screw drivers with the metallic grey and red insert around the tang??? I have the same set. love them.
Yes sir. Definitely nice!
What’s that big jug of red stuff? Gatorade, Hawaiian Punch? Lol! Like the others have said GREAT CHANNEL learning so much. Adrian
It’s fruit punch flavored water. Starting to get warmer so staying hydrated
Is there a way to pull the bushing back through without the 500$ puller I would like to avoid pulling the pan if I can
Do you have any videos on installing the rings on the pistons I can’t seem to find one! Would be greatly appreciated.
What pistons are you running for this build?
When you’re installing new rod bearings, after measuring oil clearance, should the bearings be installed with assembly lube or dry?
I recommend cam paste
Can you provide a list of all the parts used in this build(part#s)? Want to replicate this build. Thanks Josh.
How do you keep the tappets in place when removing or reinstalling a cam when the engine is in the truck?
Wooden dowels hammered in and pulled ip
Josh, anything special to welding the crank to the gear or just clean it up and weld in bout 3 places? You tig it or mig it?
Always tig, mig will put weld splatter on the seal surface.
@@jasontruman1215 Yeah, Ive been doing lotta tig lately, hadn't migged in a while. then the other day migged a part and was surprised at all the splatter and crap, forgot how much it splatters
Are u running a ve pump on this build just curious cuz you installed a ve pump timing case🤔
👍
Hell yes bruh been waiting for detailed on this.. thank you!!
Funny that they changed the connecting rod orientation from long side towards intake side on CR 5.9 to towards the exhaust side on a 6.7? Why?
Curious what size cam u went with? Just curious cause u have valve reliefs
Also from your social media u running bigger compounds so I’m curious what u went with
Great video
Just did all this today haha
188/220. I’m about a week behind on UA-cam videos. I really am stretching my time with 3 a week but it does give me a cushion sometimes lol.
how long did you set the RTV setup on the crank case? minutes, hours?
What threadlocker are you using there? Is it the high temp?
So is their any benefit in a street engine to having the cam bore bored for bearings for all cam journals?
Yes if you have a steel (not cast) cam or very stiff valve springs.
As Jason said it allows for a stronger cam material. Usually a CR engine will get away at a higher power level with a cast cam because the CP3s don’t take as much HP to turn compared to a p-pump. We also opened up a couple oil gallies to help keep it alive
Kinda funny how all engine builders kinda do it the same way I've used tome Chrome socks for some sketchy stuff 😂😂 nice to know I'm not the only one

What’s your piston protrusion and valve depth?

Oil ring 3
Top ring 10:30
Middle ring 7:30
How do you get your engine stand to spin so nicely?! Mine will not move at all with a 5.9 block on it LOL
Same here 😂
Wheel bearing grease on the shaft
Great Video Josh!! Verry detailed.

on the crank case - if your going to RTV, why use a gasket?

@horsetorquesdiesel what is the piston protrusion for a 2012 3500 6 7cummins for a stock engine and stock head gasket?thanks
Should be .012-.018
@@horsetorquesdiesel amazing. Thank you
How deep did you fly cut your pistons?
.040”
What's the name of the ebay store or guy that sells the bolt kits for these engines?
Could a guy drill and tap the bottom where the J jets go in an 03 block? Just curious
Yes you could
Only low hp 03-04s don’t have jjets. Standard 305hp engines have the same jets as shown
@@hadenjohnson2183 of course that’s what I got a boat anchor 230 hp
@@jeffbeaird747 I drove one once that had a dump bed, slowest 3rd gen I’ve ever driven by far 😥😂
Surprised you don’t have your block machined for cam bearings all the way through the block
If this wasn’t a test mule on sleeves I may have but didn’t think it was necessary

@@bcbloc02 these springs are 165lbs of seat pressure. We have ram steel cams in regular bores just need a lot of zinc
Where can I buy that engine stand
Harbor freight
how much does one of these builds cost?
Fully built with air and fuel probably close to 20-25k without a core
What crank is that
Powerstroke Products
HOW MANY WIVES DO YOU HAVE?
Why are you using rtv, it’s a gasket for a reason.
Gaskets work in stock applications, they do not hold up long in high HP high rpm applications

ENGINE BUILDERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PICKING SO MANY THINGS UP OFF THE FLOOR INCLUDING YOUR TOOLS. SPECS OF DIRT RUIN ENGINES. BAD HABBITS
Call someone who cares 😂
You should buy the proper tools to do this job
