@@makeitpay8241 ok. I'm going to measure them myself. I did a quick little measurement on 2 of them. I cleared a spot off just enough for the sled gauge. Both cylinders were .001 to the plus side above the block.
Those are not coolant holes. Coolant will seep up from the imperfect counter bore surface or the insufficiently clamped liner into those bolt holes. As for your bearings that came with the kit , Chinese junk. My mains started shedding lead ( regular oil samples) in 18 months. Buy Detroit or FP Diesel. Mine is a 99 12.7 with Mcbee kits.
i gotcha. thanks for the info. i got 5 years out the mcbee kit so im not mad at it at all. plus i pretty much learned how to rebuild these engines myself. i've decided to let this truck go. i beat the hell out of it in the log woods for the last 5 years. my protrusion on all 6 liners are .001 across the board. in the manual it states 0.0005- to 0.003+..... so im at the lower end of the allowance. i've made plenty of money with this truck. i still gonna video it, but my plan now is to put a oem detroit head gasket on it, NOT cut the counterbores and see how long it'll go. at this point its pretty much an experiment. i've saved plenty for another truck. gonna see how far this gets me. lol. by the way, detroit headgasket, went back with mcbee cam bearings. slap it together and send it!!!
@@ToshaeDaBoss Detroit 60 series are well known for blow-by. Even if the engine is in top shape most still have some sort of blow-by to them. If it's running fine and your not burning oil I wouldn't worry about it to much. I had a Detroit 11.1 with so much blow by it looked like it was smoking bad coming from underneath. It lasted me 4 years like that pulling heavy logs
Does your manual include information for the model 797 Jake brakes or does it stop on the 795 like mine?
@@ChadMagby-v4g it mentions the 797. They are set at .020
@ thank you sir! I appreciate your help! I have the 6se483 July 2005 manual! Which one do you have that includes the 797 Jake’s?
@@ChadMagby-v4g I have a bunch of PDFs in the same folder as my manual. The PDF is named Jake brake 797.
are you going to buy the tool to cut your own counter bores or have someone do it for you?
@@makeitpay8241 I'm going to have someone come out and do them.
@@curtisnstacey according to Pittsburg Power you are better to be a little on the high side than the low side.

Hey I got the same truck and got some questions. Do you got a Facebook? And can I get your cell number?
try to ask me here, and i'll answer the best i can. others may have the same questions and can read our thread and find out.
@ i was curious on if you know what it means when your ventilation crank case blows smoke heavy but I’m not losing oil?
