New to form but not to diesels. Got a 98 7.3L van now. Just rolled over 340K.
Picked up a cummins 12 valve p pump this summer out of a UPS delivery van.
Want to put it into a 15 passenger van eventually. The speedo showed 400K on the
van when pulled BUT it had a RECON sticker on the side of the motor. Got it torn down
just to make sure it's gonna last before it goes in the van.
I need an overhaul manual now so I can do the clearances done correctly. Where can I get one?
I'll take head to local machine shop and have it gone over.
Want to send pump out and have it gone over also. Probly 4K spring. and delivery valve work
Fuel plate. Who do you guys recommend for pump work?
Not looking for a screamer just want a GOOD running motor when I'm done that STILL delivere GOOD milage.

 

Where are you located? Here in Ohio theres a company called Diesel Controls that does good work in Massilon but I don't know if you're looking to ship it or how close to there you are.

 

Western NY. Can ship. I'm in no hurry right now. Just want to do it right.
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT want to have to take it back out once it's in. There's NO
room in a van for anything else. Once it's in IT"S DONE and hopefully will last
for the rest of my life.

 

Are you sure the 12 valve will fit in the van, it's a pretty long motor, 4bt might work better.

 

Yep. someone on another forum put one in an 85 e350 motor home with a stick.
I'm still trying to decide what tranny I want to use. I thought about using a Dodge just to
be able to get the cheaper tranny adapter for the motor. Aftermarket adapters are EXPENCIVE. Dodge's should be a lot more reasonable.

 

Any other suggestions??
Motor torn down, head ready to be sent off to machinist and pump to be sent out.
I need something for reference for clearances.

 

You could try finding a Ram shop manual.
