Can you share more about the 12V Cummins rebuild? How does that work?
- marcus0x62 3y agoSorry, I should have clarified. A "12V Cummins" is a 5.9L Cummins Diesel engine with 12 valves (one intake and one exhaust valve for each of the 6 cylinders.) It is a popular (and reliable) diesel engine used in older Dodge Ram pickup trucks.
- SkyPuncher 3y agoIt’s depends on the specific engine, but you essentially tear it down then replace or machine parts back to high quality. For example, cylinders and walls may develop too much gap over the years. You can machine the walls out a bit then slide a sleeve in to get it back to original sizes. Lots of manual work, but cheaper than a new engine. You might also replace a bunch of other components along the way. The key thing is the engine block is generally still sound, even if other parts have warm out a bit.
