what if compression test shows lost?
i haven't had one done but if it isnt up to par what it cost to fix? have to rebuild every thing? i have a 94 with like 194 thousand i think. i was going to have it checked out soon see what it looks like
|
a rebuild kit is 700 bucks plus 1500 in labor
|
how much extra would it be to bore it out a little? is there a certain size next step up from a stock?
|
194,000 is just barely broke in haha. i got 276,000 on mine n she runs like a top. im bettin ur fine for a long time. unless its had crappy maintenance or been really beaten on. theres plenty of these trucks with a million or more on em. just goes to show, 6 is greater than 8...
|
yeah im sure its fine i just need to advance my timing and get a set of 215 injectors

If compression shows weak, you can re-ring it, but then you stand a chance of stressing the rod bearing from the increased compression, and will ultimately lead to a thrown rod.
|
Rering it, roll new bearings in and reseal it. problem solved.
|
how much it cost to re ring bearings and reseal?
|
400ish
|
What makes you think it won't be up to par?
|
i think its fine i was talking to a guy about doing a test and he said cummins are known to loose pressure in 4 and 6 or some thing like that idk
|
when you re-ring it you need to check the cylinders and if they are not to worn you can hone the cylinders.:humm:
|
I am over 220k on the stock bottom end and have had no issues with it at all.
If you have a issue in the bottom it will easily show its ugly head,trust me. At 200k when I lifted the head due to a touch to much timing,boost and nitrous my cylinders still had the cross hatching in them.Had the head machined flat and re did the o-rings and used a new .020 gasket and its been together ever sice. |
