Message: [QUOTE="Blown262, post: 1254154, member: 22334"] Great insight. To the cummins, guys I cruise with have hit 5k on stock block 5nines, but a boat load of other work and regularly hit 50psi+ and put down 1k+ torque. I can't comment on the specifics, as I'm not a cummins guy (even though I have a fleet of over 10 of them) As for the valve contact, I have scoped the motor through the injector sockets and have no evidence of valve contact. When I pull the injectors for replacement, I will scope it again and see if I have hit since then. If it happens that I have over stressed this motor, it happens. I have a set of replacement forged rods with pistons and I know I'm getting to the point in the lifespan where a valve job will be beneficial. At least it's held together this far lol. And it's good to know about the cam gear. I didn't know they were pressed on these motors, and that changes my outlook on things. Reminds me of what happens with the old 3.4L V8s in the SHO Taurus. I will be pulling the resistors out tonight as I don't want the cam gear breaking loose on me. That always scares me. [/QUOTE]
