    Seems a centrifuge and distillery would take the cadmium,magnesium,zinc and other metallic salts out of the motor oil,those are the substances that will deposit on the valves,pistons,rings,and cylinder walls when the other components of the oil are burned. This will prevent cylinder glazing...

    I am swapping a 1989 4b into my TJ. As some will know the first Gen Cummins B engines, from 89-93 had 9mm injector holes. This led to lots of cracked heads. In 94 they switched to 7mm holes and the p7100 fuel pump. My stock head off the 4b was cracked, so I bought a second hand head from a skid...

    Hey I'm new to the site. You guys always seem to have the answers to everyone's questions. I've got an 83 short bed Chevy 2wd. Finally found a 4bt a few weeks ago and started working on it. It's a VE pump, hy35, and I'm still needing the gov. Spring and fuel pin. Im wanting 40-50hp injectors...

    I have an understanting how they work, I think. BUt im unclear how injectors can provide more horsepower. Does it flow better while maintaining a correct spray pattern with the same pulse with from the pump?? Or do the factory injectors limit the flow of the pump before the limits of the...

    Injectors are good, and have been pressure checked. Valves adjusted Compression test good, all 4 around 400 I still have a miss. Low power, poor fuel economy. If I keep the idle around 760 when i put it in gear it LOPES. What else to check?

    This is only a suggestion for the newer folks with limited Cummins engine exposure and pertains to doing multiple engine repairs to a running engine and ending up with an engine that will not start. The first thing you should do is a test run of your engine immediately after your purchase...
