I still run a 855 big cam great engines from cummins get a lot a flack from the young drivers but I get back at them when their newer engine is sitting along the road with a bad sensor thanks for the video Frank
Always a pleasure to watch you wrench! I learned the hard way bout the difference between top stop and base circle. Changed injectors in a v504 and was told they should be top stop like a 555, they weren't, I bent every injector rod on it.. stump, hammer and a dial indicator fixed em, but it cost me another day. Then there was the big cam 315 that was turned up to almost 400, but that's another story, lol. Stay safe and sharp my friend!!!!!!!
Good video frank, yeah I've always wanted to learn alot more about diesal engines myself, they fascinate the heck out of me, just the power they put out an how long they run for. Thanks for sharing.
I recently got two trucks with big cam Cummins 3 one is a cpl 531 350 and the other is a cpl625 400 there in actually really nice trucks and I plan on working on the and running them! I decided to go with old instead of new! I do have a nice 99 pete but I’m sure they will get the job done! Great video thanks!
Sorry I am late but if there is anything a splendid as a weld repair it would be sling chrome at Little Red. I love that truck and if you were not my friend I would be a little jealous. Someday I will have me a ride in that truck. When do we get bigger injectors and a switchblade turbo??? I thought Paydirt was going to send you a turbo since he didn't pay you in wages!
I know this vid is a year old can I still do it this way with the top stop injector I know can’t use the inch pounds have to use the 6” ujustment On the injector i was just wanting to know if I can go the same rought not takin the rockers off to do it Any info appreciated Your vid’s are great hope u do more Thank you
@@Digginok if not I’ll still leave rockers on and just do it in the adjustment of injector and valve adjustment and just change the injector for new and readjust then reset valves I would the same just not in the fire order like u did with the non stop injector I’ll just remove 3 set valves 5 for my start and so on I’m hope this would work Thanks again
Can you please provide a part number for the injectors that you used? I am wondering if its better/cost effective to pull my injectors and get them reflowed or ones like yours. I have an NTC350 small cam in a 77 White-Freightliner. Its a hard start when cold and smokes like the dickens. But runs clean and clear when warm! Even under load! Apparently someone rebuilt it before me.
Don’t have the part number, but even. If I did I’d recommend calling premco diesel service. They are very knowledgeable and reasonable on the price. A small cam will always be tough to start cold.
Oh man… Frank in a weird way I was hoping to see an engine in a field, with some explosive around it and boom!! Then cut to a crate with a new engine in it! Know that’s not practical or cost effective but would be funny! Be sure to polish the horse power booster Chrome exhaust stacks. All aside good job get it done fixer up!!!!
Wrong channel sorry. I don’t make enough TH-cam money to blow stuff up. There are plenty of you tubers that make a good living off of abusing equipment.
@@Digginok I know man you work for a living just like the rest of us! Could just put an old engine in the field and let the dog wiz on it the cut to a new engine! Just do it like Hollywood all special effects!

I got a question, i have a cummins nhc 250, 855 and it won't idle under 1300, at start up it will idle at 600 for 20 seconds, then jumps up to 1300rpms and stays thier. I adjusted idle at pt pump, I've turned down 3 times, and each time idle at 600 then jump up, adjusted again, idle at 500 then jump up on its own, adjusted again, idle at 500 and jump up to 1300 rpms, i can shut truck off, start up and idle at 600, then 20 seconds it jumps up to 1300 on its own and stay right thier. I'm not sure, it don't act like getting air, because don't stumble at all, everytime I start it, it starts right up, no hesitation.
I’d try to rule out an air leak first, could be hose, filter, throttle shaft and pump shaft seal. It doesn’t take much air in the injection lines to cause a spongy throttle. I guess it’s possible the governor is acting up too.
@Digginok I figured it out, the button was sticking, had light coat of rust on it from sitting for 15 years, I pulled apart, cleaned up the button, springs, button holder and governor screw, put back together and idles and runs great.
Thank you for your video , but i see on manual on crankshaft position A and valve no.5 is closed we adjust valve no.5 and we adjust injector no.3 !!! but you adjust valve and injector no.5 same time ! can you explain.
There are two different procedures, please study this before you make the mistakes I have made. I am using the torque method with non top stop injectors, aka outer base circle. If you use inner base circle with dial indicator you will set valves on 5 and injector on 3.
@@Digginok so u don’t go off the crank? Cause I didn’t see a bolt to put a socket on the crank I figured they make some kinda tool to bar it over so I can set timing after doing the head gaskets
@@Alanthe918mobilemechanic this is the best tool. It hooks on the rim of the accessory drive pulley.

Yes sir! Dependable, this one has never left me stranded but once in 20 years, water pump locked up.
I like your maintenance schedule. Most people wait till it breaks and leaves them stranded. Thanks for sharing.
Kinda like I fix the worst problem on my list! Gotta prioritize the worst problems first. Sometimes it works out. Thanks for watching

Yep the wrong procedure can do some damage, been through some of that my self. Hope you are well my friend, thanks for watching!
Great work Frank love the blue sunny sky were freezing here stay safe 🦘🇦🇺👍
Thanks! Sunny here and 95degrees F. I don’t like the cold. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, diesels have many different designs. At least the old ones did.
Loved watching the vid! Took me back home to working with dad...
Thanks! Appreciate you watching
Good job Frank. Got to keep little red in top shape. She’s your money maker!
Thanks Steve! I’d be lost without her.

Big cam 3 is a great engine. I think they will serve you well. Thanks for watching
Excellent video Frank. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks appreciate you watching
Man I love the sound of that small cam I hope my small cam 400 sounds like that or louder after I get all the kinks out of it
Good morning sir, The engine sound great. Keep up the good work.
Thanks! It runs fine so far
Great job Frank 👍.

Great video I will be doing mine this weekend good to know I don't need to pull the rocker box saves some time. Are all three o rings the same?
Good morning idol thank for sharing this video om watching her
Thanks for watching
Love your videos on this kind of repair/maintenance...
Approximately how many miles on those injectors...?
Great video.
Thank you sir.
Thanks! Approximate 500,000 or close to it.
@@Digginok
Oh., wow...! You cover some ground...
I know this vid is a year old can I still do it this way with the top stop injector I know can’t use the inch pounds have to use the 6” ujustment
On the injector i was just wanting to know if I can go the same rought not takin the rockers off to do it
Any info appreciated
Your vid’s are great hope u do more
Thank you
I think it would work the same, but I’m not sure. I don’t have a top stop to try it on.
@@Digginok if not I’ll still leave rockers on and just do it in the adjustment of injector and valve adjustment and just change the injector for new and readjust then reset valves I would the same just not in the fire order like u did with the non stop injector I’ll just remove 3 set valves 5 for my start and so on I’m hope this would work

@@stacyrose9225 but this is outer base circle procedure, top stop is different. Don’t set them the same
@@Digginok yes in Ibc order
Thanks!!!! Love the vid.

Did my time on these at Cummins back in the 80's.
Does anybody know if he had Jake’s on the motor before he started filming?

@@Digginok yeah got it , Thank you very much.
How much torque for injector sir
What happen if u don’t put the Strain facing the exhaust manifold?
will work in any position, in theory it would supply fuel better facing the exhaust side.
ive always used stp when putting engines together never had any problems
Good stuff
What tool do you use to bar over the engine
I use an old 24” pipe wrench, probably would be better to use a socket on the accessory drive though.

I have a '91 Dodge needing some motor work.... Any chance you want to dig into it?
Not sure I'd have time for it but it's a possibility. Email me cunninham2442@gmail.com
Ty master
What would cause it to surge ?
Explain more? If a Cummins surges it’s usually air in the fuel system.
Did it help?
It runs a bit better, seems to have a bit more power on hills and runs easier.
@@Digginok good deal
I need to figure out, how to get them jakes delivered. LoL
Yeah I need to head up that way someday! Gotta find some exhaust crossovers.
@@Digginok Haha, they have your name on em.
Sounds good. Good thing the mosquitoes we're seeing right now are too big to accidentally close up in an engine.
Thanks! Yes they could choke a buzzard!
Time will tell how much more horse power you gained when you get into a hard pull.
It’s better than it was for sure, runs easier up hills. Thanks for watching
@@Digginok good to hear.
