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.

I don't have water injection on mine. I am seeing the 1300 EGT up hill as well. The numbers look very good with your water injection. Have you put Methanol in the mix yet?

That is the same blow by as my engine same sound as well. The 5 ton Rockers make bit more noise than the 2 1/2 Rockers.

sorry that would lower the ratio to like 20:1

That is because when you introduce more fluid/air that changes the compression ratio!! The combustion bowl is designed to handle a greater fuel/air volume. The consumption of fuel goes from 10 mph to like 5 mph. You would hydro lock the engine without the extra capacity.

The sleeves I have received had a very light hone but that is not unusual. The liners were done by a machine, not by hand that makes a big difference. If the rings are moly it would be very smooth. Most OEMs and ring manufacturers specify a surface finish of 15 to 25 RA for moly faced rings...

Oil pressure is higher that coolant pressure. You would see oil in the coolant. You need to do an exhaust gas test on your cooling system. I have seen funny things from a cracked head. Sometimes it pressurizes the cooling system and coolant goes everywhere or when the engine is cold it leaks...

When I installed mine, I lubed then and had to hammer them down the bore with a piece of wood and a hammer to hook them up to the rods. I sprayed them with WD the night before and greased them in the morning.

Yup. Brain Fart. long day here on the edge of the Sahara!!

I live down the road from TNJ Murray. I drive down and buy stuff all the time there. The guy you are talking to is probably Albray, he is the parts manager there. I have not had a problem with the kits.
