I have a timing kit, but I live about an hour south of Toledo in Tiffin. On the map follow 20 east and then 53 south, you'll see it. Let me know. Jason

Thanks everyone for your input. I got a "so called" install kit with the injectors, but it had the same size washer in it that the 370s already had. I will make some calls today and locate . 020 washers. Thanks again Jason

ACrafts, I read somewhere else on here that the 370s have a spray pattern of 155 degrees and stock injectors are 145 degrees, or something like that. Basicly what I understand is the thinner washer will put the wider spray pattern of the 370s more into the piston where it belongs and less on...

I am in the middle of putting in 370s in place of my 215s. i have heard to use the thinner washer so the injecter will sit further into the cylinder. My question is, the 215s have a thinner washer on them now than what came with the 370s, do I use them, or is it bad to reuse those washers...

When I pull my 9,000 lb 5er I try to keep the rpm up in the 1900 to 2500 range. Any less than that and she will get hot quick. Of course with the 5 speed I can use 4th gear for the highway and 5th for the interstate. Seems to keep me in the sweet spot. I am not sure how to do that with an auto...

I bought my truck with the timing cover cracked. Previous owner said it had been that way for a while. When I took the cover off, the KDP was still sitting on top of the crank gear. It should have cased a lot more damage, but it didn't. Really you won't know until you get in there and look. Just...

JB, I think your gage should work as long it does not bottom out when you turn the motor back wards. All you need is enuff length to find the end of the plunger lift and set you reset you gage to zero for a starting point. My snap on set came with snap on instuctions. I will have to look for...

I have used a Jasper motor in an old truck I used to have(ferd gasser) :rolleyes: and I have a Jasper 5-speed in my truck now. about 40,000 miles on it. No problem. I have not heard anything good or bad about there auto's though. But over all I think they do a pretty good job. Just my $. 02...

I agree with John, if you have not fixed the KDP, it will generaly take out the timing cover but it could also take out your gears,the oil pump is driven off of the crank shaft but the dowel pin should follow the rotation of the cam gear down to the crank gear where it will usually bust the...

Norm, Hey bud sorry to hear about your misfortune. I had to do mine the same way three weeks ago. And I had the same problem when I got it back together. I was waiting on the Snap On man to bring me my timing kit and got this method from a cummins tech. You did not say what year your truck was...

how many miles is on your truck? I just had the KDP take a crap on me two weeks ago at 220,000 and my cam looked almost new. Alot of guys are making BIG power out of a stock cam. If your cam looked OK and you did not have any plans to make 600 horse, I would reuse the cam you have. If you are...

I belive you need to turn the top of the star wheel towards the fender, can someone seecond that? Oo.
