Hard to go wrong with a P-pump Cummins, especially the 5.9l 12v. Super beefy engine, that's damn reliable without all the emissions BS that all the newer engines are stuck with unless you delete em.
@@nimwit0 the emissions based newer drivetrains are junk and a unreliable nightmare money pit. The 12v Cummins is FAR from junk and they are reliable and can easily be turned up to make decent power. Take a look around on RUclips even. There are TONS of built Cummins that are pretty damn nice.
@@nimwit0 I agree the 24v is also a good powerplant. Nothing wrong with them either. Yes the powerCHOKES are nothing I would want as well. Never been a fan of them. Now the old IDI Ford motors are reliable for sure. Not powerful enough for my liking, but they seem to fire off pretty easily even after sitting for awhile. Meh it's all good bruh 👍😎
@@konnerkramer329 There are non turbo 4B engines that are used for industrial applications, low power rigs like tugs, and agricultural pumps. These produce 80Hp at 2500rpm which equates to over 200 ft/lbs from idle out to peak. Not to bad for an engine without forced induction.
@@madmod I have a 6b in a huge BigRed Forklift that runs great, starts perfect in freezing temps and is easily my favorite fork truck, it makes right at 100hp. Sadly. 100hp and 250ftlbs of torque from a 5.9 engine is far from impressive. Don’t forget that when the Hp numbers drop the Tq numbers drop right along with them.
Also tdc on compression works to. Watch the intake valve open, close then when piston is at tdc in that cyl set valve lash on both valves, only works when you have spark plugs, or injectors/glow plugs out to gently roll over with a screwdriver or coathanger down the cyl and feeling for tdc.
3:15 Pretty much the only reasonable way to set valves when you have a large aftermarket cam with a lot of duration. Even in the "order" some valves wont be on the BC of the cam. That way is pretty much fool-proof, and if you go in the right order, usually only two rotations are needed. One note, though: Rotating in the normal direction, the exhaust valve should just be starting to open before adjusting the intake valve. Conversely, the intake valve should just be about to fully close before setting the exhaust. This ensures you stay away from overlap between the lobes, if there is any.
Some people want to hang around Movie stars. Foot Ball players etc. I'd rather hang out with Mechanics and Dudes that love and work on Engines. Like it or not? There the true Hero's that keep everything going. Rain or shine? Lets hear that Turbo whine! 😊
When setting valves I always just turn the engine over and do the ones that are loose, or if im feeling it I might bring each cylinder to tdc and do both. When doing 4 cylinder 8 valves all you have to remember is 9, eg when 1 is open adjust 8, if 5 is open do 4 etc.
Just do #1 TDC and #6 TDC. Two rotations and you set half the valves per rotations #6 valves rock. Set 1, 2 intake, 3 exhaust, 4 intake, 5 exhaust then roll it and do the rest
Any 6 cylinder is easy to set the rack, #1 TDC you do #1 intake and exhaust, 2 intake, 3 exhaust, 4 intake, 5 exhaust. Rotate crank 360° and do the remaining and you're done.
You can do one at a time per cylinder when the other is open just make sure the valve you're doing isn't still on overlap. Personally I just find about tdc on number one then follow the firing order. Might not be the fastest but it's easier to keep track.
I'm just going to point out that here's an overlap between he 2 valves on the same cylinder in which case one you shouldn't set one even is the other one is rocking.
I have a 1999 Dodge 5.9 24 valve for sale with 175,000 in my motorhome with a Allison transmission engine and trans works great 👍 oil is clean. I need $7,000.00 for entire coach. Come and get it it starts and runs 🏃♀️
Pretty sweet, what’s your opinion on the whole, “having an exaust that’s too short causes vavles to cool too fast and warp” heard this never new if it was a wives tale but looks like you’d be able to have an idea since you’ve got a pretty short exuast
If that valve warp shit was true, then there are an ass ton of WWII warbirds with valves that are warped...Also, Backpressure is evil to all engines, the only difference is tuning due to the change in the scavenging effect of going from a restricted exhaust system to unrestricted because the backpressure keeps the incoming inlet charge from coming in as efficiently as it should. - So when the restrictions are eliminated, it's almost as if you changed the valve timing...increasing the effective overlap.
@@misters2837 not evil to all engines! 2strokes need back pressure and a expansion chamber to actually "get on the pipe" and pull hard instead of just a lazy flatline rev...
@@shawnsatterlee6035 That isn't really "back pressure" that is actually a Tuned Pressure Wave Resonance Chamber...And is as much as part of efficient engine operation as 2-Stroke Detroit's needing a "blower" to run... *Yes* a 2-Stroke Gas engine will "Run" without an expansion chamber, but not efficiently... Now put a very restrictive exhaust "CAN" after that expansion chamber THAT is adding back pressure....
Hey I’m wanting to ask questions about a older video (commenting on this one in hopes you see my comment) I’m wanting a how to video on making a drum paddle for the fourtrax like you have posted a few years ago. Any help or links would be awesome. Thanks
@@captaindipchit it’s a Honda fourtrax 300. I watched your video explaining the difference in paddles and I’m really wanting to make or purchase a drum paddle for it
Cant buy one...there are youtube videos on how to...remove brake drum...cut aluminum of of steel center...weld on paddle...very easy...check out youtube
I was interested in watching this video until halfway through when he said valve set and I was confused then he kept saying it over and over and I thought...... valve lash its valve lash who tf says valve set your "set"ing the valve lash i ended up not even finishing the video
The only engine i know of that this procedure does not work is Mack E-7 and E-tech with engine brake. Trust mack to make an engine that literally has .024 clearance in the exhaust valve in one spot, and almost .250 in others. It's an oddball. Watched many people error on that engine. Have to adjust it off the timing marks on the flywheel.
@DIPCHITS IN DUNLOPS Jim T nailed it. I've been a heavy duty diesel tech for 25+ years. If you apply that adjustment procedure to an E7 Mack engine you will be highly disappointed with the results. They adjust 30 degrees after base circle.
Why do people fix up engines lots of time and effort and money then put the poorest quality oil filter on engine ( orange can of death) fram Will ruin a engine... when Cummins filters wix are top quality.... is it a mental problem not spending about 5 extra bucks for the best I have a shelf in our machine shop with carnage that fram has caused ... bits of valves pistons etc ... cant fix stupid

id love to see more of that 120 year old motor with the priming cups!
Me too! 1903?? Oldest of schools.
There is a video of it running on my channel
Something about seeing an engine run without any covers on is amazing to see.
If he doesn’t use it for a derby, put a blower on it. It will sound nasty.
call it the blown cum
Put 6 amr 500s on it just for fun
Please
They run like shit with blowers
Yes. We need a blower. That would be badass.
Thank you! I always wanted to hear what it would sound like.
Who needs rock auto when you havea Peg to source parts from 🍺
That Chevy start up was priceless!👌

you should put a belt driven supercharger on it.
Love it when you run a turbo diesel as an N/A, I bet that 130hp feels crazy 😂
Itll still produce a good bit of torque
These 12 valves were pretty gutless with a tubro its got to be an absolute turd now

Or put a blower on it and run zoomies. Definitely worse then the turbo but way cooler
What a treat, 12 valve nice, they always start
Seen your signs on the wall, Devon and ATB ones so must be pretty local to me! Nice to see local content
Nothing like having a sweet Fram oil filter. Need to get that junk off there

12 turbos

I think those 12 valves came from the factory with a rear main seal leak. I haven’t had one yet that I’d park on the good concrete 😂
My uncle showed me setting the valves he's great
Great Video as Always. Thanks.
intake closing set exhaust. Exhaust opening set intake.
Cool video, love all your content
Either Hines creek or the screw cab schlong box needs a 12 valve swap

Love your videos man ...
Sounds like a old airplane idling
Put clappers on all the zoomies would be sweet
Damn she sounds nasty! I love the naturally aspirated 6bt and now redundant it is.
I’ve always wanted to take a 12v and throw a blower on it and straight pipe without turbo
It sounds great !
Heck yeah brother 💪🏻👍
Looks like the work of a frenchmen..... could be worse i guess.
👍👍,..right on feller 👊
That sounds sweeet !
Great video man
Sounds good. Keep it up!
Needs a blower... 6v53 might be a little small but a 8v53 would be good
Or a 6-71 blower lol
Except a Mack E7, valve have to be set by marks on flywheel lobe has a flat spot on back
Sounds like it needs an hx40 lol now put some boots to it with a Roots blower and really build a unique 12 valve 👌
The sawed off frenchman
Hey what do you want for that late 70s Ford grille? Need one for my 79 F-150 Ranger
So..... why was it breaking up so bad?
Then 12 valves always deletes their own rear main seals
You don’t need a rear main seal
12 valves delete all of their seals lol

I always go by 15 is too young 36 is too old 24 is just right for valve lash order on my cummins nailer every time.
6 mini turbos still with zoomies
You need to advance the timing a little more to get rid of the popping and stumble.
With the Zoomies - smoke is only coming out of 5 of them. Cylinder 2 must be different somehow??
#2 had some fire coming out
Alot of people don't know that the valves need to be set
I think he needs to leave the Zumiez and super charge it
Valve set Thats like pounds feet of torque.
And que the oil filter comments!!
Where is the COOLANT???
Get 6 Hiroshima hairdryers and put one on each pipe.
I’ll dyno your exhaust manifold lol.
Without forced induction that motor's no more than a boat anchor that makes noise.
Now put a super charger on it.
Not running on all 6 at the start and near the end sure sounds like the timing is off.
right? it should rev up nicer i would think.
@@festungkurland9804 the comments "sounds so sick broooo" lmao. You can tell who the youtube mechanics are. This thing runs like shit

Anything past a quarter of the way down
So if intake is quarter open u can adjust exhaust on that cylinder an same if exhaust is past 1/4 open u can adjust intake
U know any tips about adjusting injectors
6 EBAY lil turbos
It still sounds just like a 12 valve🤣

Idles nice, accelerates like POS.
Pull the # 2 injector and bench test it. It’s not opening correctly.
Why is he runnin the orange can of death
I thought it be a lot smokeyer🫣🫣
Def supercharge it
Use a air gun on the afc so the injection pump thinks there's boost
