    Most of the time shims are placed under the springs to adjust spring tension. Once the valves are assembled you use a tool to test how much pressure it takes to open the valve. If the spring has a low tension you place shims under the sprigs until they are within tolerance. If too many shims are needed then the springs need replacing. I explained that to a master mechanic who was rebuilding a D8 engine after it caught fire and he told me to mind my own business, but when they started the dozer up it blew the turbo completely off the engine.

    Great lesson for the shop and for life in general: just because somebody "less experienced" comes along and points out a mistake you made, doesn't mean you're being personally indicted as a trades or craftsperson--it just means you're human and you messed up. "Hey, good one new guy. Thanks!" would've led to a turbo *not* blowing up in this case. But hey, then we'd have been deprived a valuable workshop parable, so where's the fun in that? I bet that "master" mechanic paid a bit more attention to procedure after that... I'd hope so, anyway.

    normally with used parts, you want to put the bits back together in the same order as they were when you took it apart, so the wear on the moving parts match up, but in an engine there ideally shouldn't be any difference in how all the parts are worn. As long as it's not something like a high performance racing engine, it really shouldn't make much difference if it goes back together in the same order

    Not sure how far along you are on the project now, but I'll offer a few pieces of info I've gathered on these engines. Make sure to get your cam followers shimmed correctly for the engine setup you have (injectors, compression ratio, turbo and how you have your PT pump setup will influence this). The second is with the PT pump itself, there are different sizes of gears, 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4", picking which size depends mostly on how you drive. If you drive a Cummins like its supposed to (high rpms) the smaller pump will be fine, but if you want lower end lugging power, the larger pumps are a good option, just make sure you have a pyrometer to keep an eye on egts if you go this route. I'm not sure how familiar your buddy is with these engines in non stock configuration, but if he isn't, find someone that is that can walk you through all the ins and outs of setting one up correctly, otherwise the engine won't have a long life.

    The shims are added to make the assembled value hights to what they were set at at the factory. This is important, so the correct valve clearances and rocker angle and ratio can be adhered to. Also the opening pressure of the valve springs can also be set correctly.

  • @9c1wp
    @9c1wp4 ай бұрын

    The shims compensate for the change in valve stem height which occurs when the valves are ground and seated to their final installed height in their respective seats. The more the seat and valve are reground or machined, the more the valves stem will travel up into the guide which results in the grooves that retain the upper spring retainer and keeper to travel beyond to top face of the head. This can cause the springs to be less compressed. The shims are used to take up that dimension and if not checked then insufficient spring pressure could result one the keepers falling out in the closed position under operation. You need to keep the valves organized and matched to the where they came out as the end of the valve stems are typically faced to maintain the specific deck height to keep the rocker geometry correct after they are ground and matched to each seat.

    Pro Tip, people who own forklifts and are surrounded by ample heavy objects don't need to hammer in or out cylinder sleeves. A small metal (something), pulled by your choice strap/chain will suck them out fast. You can also push them back in using forklift and wooden block. Just seeding ideas for the future.

    When pulling out the camshaft followers, you have to have a special timing tool to reinstall with the right thickness of gaskets on the follower plate.

    You use shims to set the assembled height of the valve springs. Many things can cause that distance to change. When you get to the reassembly phase, install the valve, retainer and keepers, then measure from the spring seat to the retainer and use shims to bring them up to spec. Shims come in .015", .030" and .060". All the springs should have that spring seat (dimpled backing plate) to keep them centered. You should also measure the springs at the assembled height and make sure they have enough seat pressure. You can make a poorman's spring tester with a bathroom scale and an arbor press or even a drill press.

Run it with a Chinesium drive with single phase 240V input and converts to 3 phase output. Works great. If a unit was 480V will also have to move some wiring on the internal controls transformer(s) and pump wiring to low voltage setting and maybe a fuse change but easy enough to do.

    Now that you've removed the cam followers to go back you'll have to use the double dail timing tool to set injection timing. The housings for the cam followers are shimmed by how many gaskets are stacked up. This sets the timing when the followers begins lifting on the cam lobe. You'll see😊

    Hey Matt. It looks like whoever built that engine loved silicone, and you see how it’s in the oil cooler, and the coolant passage. You’re doing right taking all the plugs out of the block and cleaning it really well. I would also consider replacing those piston cooling nozzles, or at least cleaning and verifying their spray pattern. I’ve never touch a Cummins before, but I’d imagine they’re just tubes with orifices in the end. If that silicone got in there, it won’t cool and/or lubricate the piston pack. That may even be why number one liner was scored.

    As a silicone user, it's pretty amazing how a few mistakes in application can show up in pickup screens. A former employer taught me how to apply silicone "correctly". Dab it on your finger and Thompson and apply to the gasket by pulling it between the 2 fingers. Generally less is more.

    They're a plastic tube that goes in through the block side on these. When he was beating out the liners, you could see the white plastic. Very much with you on it being wise to change them, and very much agree that a poor sprayer can create scoring. Especially in a turned-up engine.

    Those shims are hardened steel designed to help prevent springs from "eating"through the relatively soft cast iron head,which is what has caused those counter-bores.

    The counter bore is a mistake of depth when they mill the valve guide to remove it or It's maybe also that the spring damaged the head surface ,so they had to mill flat and compensate for the difference in depth. They shim in any case to get the spring tension back up,springs have a specified length,wich dictates a given tension.

    Just an FYI. @pacific-northwest hillbilly used thin wire brushes to clean all oil passages and water passages on his block and heads to clean gunk. After the machine shop cut and cleaned his engine, he found still more sludge that the brushes cleaned out. You might want to do it. Obviously you know more than me. I thought it just made sense to have a perfectly clean block and head for a fresh rebuild.

  • @jonathanmurphy4562

    It does matter where the rocker boxes go , those gaskets are shims and that helps fuel timing, and if your planning on reusing the cam then I would put them back in the same order..

    Matt, I've got a suggestion for you. As a former diesel mechanic (yes I said former) I use to pick up those parts like you did. Now my back is in such bad shape from all that I regret not taking better care of myself. I'm to the point I have alot of trouble just getting on my feet. My doctor did an epidural last week under x-ray and said my God your back is horrible son you have got to get this fixed. I blame alot of it on my dumba$$ for just picking up all those heavy parts and as a cop for 32 years wearing all the heavy equipment around my waste. I'm just warning you to be more careful with your back or you'll be like me at 60 and end up disabled for life because of it. Keep the great videos coming I never miss one. You and Sam are getting to up to date on the heavy equipment we got to stop that all the old iron is going to disappear because you and Sam have much better taste with all this new fangled stuff.

    The cam should be stored vertically or on V-blocks. You can get a power-set for the liners and pistons. If you choose to reuse the liners, ball hone them before reuse. Cummins recommends replacing the injector cups. The injectors set into them. The cam followers set the engine timing by shims. The shims are between the follower assemblies and the block. The service manuals from Cummins give all the procedures for the tear-down a rebuild. If the exhaust valves are sodium filled they are not supposed to be reground, lapping only should be done instead. I have been informed that grinding sodium filled valves can be dangerous by causing the valve to explode.
