    Cummins 250 hp upgrade

    IF there isnt provisions for oilers rather machineing the block it would be alot better to just get a block or a whole engine and swap it out. also i,ve found going with lower press fit liners is a huge plus and it totally eliminates head gasket seepage. is there anyway someone can post a...

    Cummins 250 hp upgrade

    Is there provisions in the side of the block on the passenger side for piston oil coolers ? If there is its easy to install them, you dont even have to pull the pan. 300 BC3 SPEC,S WOULD BE NICE IN ONE OF THESE 5 TONS.

Cut it again as far to the rear of the engine as close to the head fitting as possible 3. Then take open end wrench (cant remember if...

    1st thing is replace the oil line from p/s of engine block to rear of head. guarantee is bad, check and change all fluids especitaaly the t-case. adjust brakes up ( if your going to road drive it switch master cyl to split m/c for safety reasons), grease all zerk fittings.

    LOL GUY run the cpl,s at cummins. running a turbo on naturally asperated hi compression pistons lol on that. turbo pistons are alot lower compression because the turbo compinsates for it. if your just gonna drive the truck around it will work but if you work it thats when it will show up big time

    818 now with turbo and pics.

    YOU DO KNOW that adding a turbo to a non turbo engine its going to throw off your air/fuel ratio right. things that are substantually different. pistons, timming,injectors,cam just for a start. i,ve run big and small cam cummins engines for almost 30 yrs and know them very well. you,d have been...
