oringing the head
 

any body know anyplace in the central illinois region that can oring my head? im gunna call a few local motor shops. but id rather take it someplace that specializes in just diesel motors.

No but I'm sure I can find some dudes, err shops, on craigslist to take care of your o-ring problem:moon:

i got excited to see that somebody responded to my thread untill i seen your name, talk about a kick between the legs.

:pca1:

Scheid Diesel......Effingham,IL....I also believe that this is the shop that Brad Ingram works from.

Hammer hit the nail right on the head lol

Scheid would be a great place to start with ... they may know a thing or two about diesels:tu:

lol :lol: You kill me dude:choochoo:

im gunna give them a call today for a price

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

hey i called sheids today, they only do fire rings. and it was an outrageous price

i would also like 2 no.. u might try danville diesel in danville indiana, its a 4hr drive from u but that'd b better than shipping it. u might call n ask if they do it

ill give them a call. im all gunna call jasek motor rebuilding off route 71, they mostly do stockcar late mode, and sprint car motors. mostly gassers. but i know jeff jasek and he has alot years doing motor machining. so i dont think an oring job would be hard for him?

does anybody know the deminsions for oringing the head?
and do you just use a stock headgasket?

my local shop will do it, but he needs deminsions for doing it, and he said they can either use a .41 or a .51 wire? i dont know what it means. but any help would be great

I thought you used a copper gasket but I'm not sure.

.041 or .051 is the diameter of the wire.

My 24v head had .41 wire, the groove was cut .039 wide and .029 deep, leaving a .012 protrusion. I can't remember the diameter of the groove cut though.

yeah i called another motor guy, he said he can o ring, just a little busy. i just didnt know what headgasket i should use for the best sealing

i thought a stock headgasket was wat ppl use

im pry gunna use the stock one. i just didnt know if there was anything out their thats better

shied diesel

called scheids. they only do firerings

you use a stock headgasket with o rings

ok thanks, were would be the place to get one

Jeff at Mumau Diesel is a cummins dealer. I get all my cummins gaskets and parts from him, great guy with great service

would a .20 over marine gasket be ok?

if u have the head milled.. if not i wouldnt id just go stock

hes gunna re surface the head then o ring it

a.020 over marine cummins gasket would work fine, I run one in my 94


It will work just fine with thinner injector washers, the compression would drop slightly

the compression will be the same, diesel heads are flat, just make sure your nozzle protrusion is correct.

im gunna be getting sdx 5x14s, how do i know what washers i need?
should i just go stock or .020 over?
