The 57k1318 piston kits have two compression rings that have a different part number instead of three rings of the same part number. I have also deleted my fuel compensator. The piston kit were made in 1998 and I think running multiple fuels was not in mind with the changes in the piston. That...
I have been running pump diesel for over 200 miles without any issues with piston kits part number 57k1318/ 2815-00-134-077 after my LDS conversion. I did have to turn down my injection pump 4 flats and my EGT's are at 1100. I had installed the Pistons before I did the LDS conversion and had...
I did not measure the ldt piston that I had removed. I looked at both ldt and the lds piston and I did see a difference. The only thing that was different was the duel tip piston cooler that came with the lds kit. The other difference was the oil port on the lds rocker arm that pools more oil on...
I have worked for years in a test manager of a test department for a major drilling rig manufacturer certifying engines, cooling packs and other systems that are installed on the rigs with the involvement of cat, Detroit and cummins to pass there warranty criteria. The engines I have worked with...
I am sorry for this after thought, but I put the five tone piston liner kits in my truck and the kit came with duel nozzle piston coolers where the originals were single. Just a FYI!
I turned up the fuel two flats and it seems to be the sweet spot. I have turned down the injection pump 4 flat from it original setting. Ambient temperature durning the test was 35 f. I went around on the back roads up down hill for 10 miles and everything was good Egt's of 1100 f turbo boost 13...
My egt's were 1100 with the stock injection pump, rocker arm and injectors. Egt's of 1100 was my base line for the test. I then installed the lds rocker arms my Egt's decreased to 900. The engine had a different sound and more power. My fuel pressure was around 425 and I did want to blow the...
I reduced the fuel 6 flats and took a 20 mile drive today. The truck is running great. I had an Egt of 1025, so I am going up to flats on the injection pump. The new rocker arm were tight and the engine had some valve train noise for about 17 miles, but that quited down. There is a lot more...
If you have any questions about my mods or on the m35a2 just ask. I have rebuilt mine from front to back down to the wiring and of the wiring is new. I have put a dump hoist kit in it, Stereo with a 400 watt amp and so on. We are here to share info!!
A lot more CFM of air is the main thing. It moves the filter housing from the engine bay and gives you more room to work on the engine. It make less noise because of it location outside of the engine bay. It takes in air about two feet higher than the stock cleaner and has turbulators to drop...
