Information is hard to find on this site, you really need to look. But we are here to help the young guys more forward and do it correctly. I do thank you for your help in the past. This is a team effort. I am still working on my truck too. LOL My brother calls it the brand new 1971 M35A2. lol I...

Cool. I just wanted others to know. It is a simple mod with available parts. It looks good and it is clean. Most just scab some crap on there and it looks like crap.

I am putting this out there so people can see it.

so have you did the mod with the exhaust?

I have not had a problem with the 5 ton pistons kits and it has been many years now and 10,000 miles.

I looked at the rings and that is what they appeared to be. You usually have that when you run in a two ring configuration. The cross hatch pater was about 220 grit or higher and that is the parameters for a Crome and moly ring set. I did not use rms meter. I have used on for years inspecting...

i have not had an issue at all other than the cold starts. The compression ratio is about 20:1 with the 5 ton piston kits. But you have to keep in mind that the engine does not have a heating grid or glow plugs. I hit the manifold heat and hold it after it fires and let go of the start button...

The exhaust is 4in on the Cat engine. I made a 4in exhaust from the engine to the 4 inch a3 muffler and put a 4in adapter on turbo and 3 inch intake piping to the turbo inlet from the air cleaner. Standard on an a2 is 2 1/2 intake to turbo and 3 1/2 exhaust from turbo and the air cleaner is...

Well exhaust changes and inspect your injectors. Burning engine oil??? Loss of coolant??

I missed one thing. Most of your new Diesel engines only have two compression rings.

Overall I am very happy with the 5 ton pistons, rocker arms, injection pump, injectors and m35 a3 intake and exhaust which are larger than the m35 a2 gear and equal to the 5 ton setup. I have tons of power and it runs great. I have. 1000 miles on it since with no real issues. The only thing is...

The filter and housing are just better all around!! It bring your intake almost two feet higher, has turbulators, a dust purge system if you use the m3 muffler, you could call it a cool air intake since it is on the fender not the engine bay and it gives more space to work on the engine. Rusty...

It was 600 cfm based on the filter rating you had found.

You could use +32 F windshield wash fluid to have that ratio. Here is the SDMS Sheets

I only get to 1300 up a big hill. I don't let get that high. I run pump Diesel. Now the Air intake, I took an M35 A3 intake and installed it. it is very easy. TNJ Murray has them for 200 usd.
