I did my first retorque Saturday morning up to 120ft/lbs. Drove it around for a few hours with a on my face. I didn't go above 10psi. Then I let it sit until this morning and cranked it up to 125ft/lbs. Drove it around for a while again and didn't go over 20psi. Not sure if I should retorque tomorrow or wait a few days and get some heat cycles through it?

If your at 125 now, Id wait a week or 2 of easy driving before another. I think I waited a week between 120 and 125, then a month later at the final 125

I could go look under the hood of your truck. There's 12 extra ones there.

Nice :-laf

I gotta find some 4. 10 gears and some lockers. Then I can put down 2 long skinny lines of rubber.

So I have to wait a month till I can beat on the truck? :{

 

[PRattenbury]

My brother did the Lincoln locker. It eventually broke. They HATE turning.

Oh just beat on it... don't be a sally. :-laf

You should have been around when I cranked the motor over with no injectors. The antifreeze that shot out of the head was funny as hell. Kip and my 2 boys got covered. It must have shot out of the injector holes at around 1000 psi. It was all over the engine compartment, floor, walls, etc... funny schnit...

 

[Signal73]

I would love to see what your drive pressures are at

Hey Matt found this post from jetpilot, its what I did and you know my results were good:

You want to get a bottom tap in 12 X 1. 75. After your head is removed tap the holes all the way to the block bottom. Then clean all the holes out very good with a magnet, air, and brake clean.



The head should be installed and the studs installed in each hole dry. Then back the stud off the bottom of the block 1/3-1/2 turn. The nuts, washers, and stud thread tops should be liberally coated in ARP lube. Use the Cummins torque sequence... ... . Here is where there are difference between if you o-ring/fire-ring or are just installing.



WIth o-rings/fire-rings we torque 20-40-60-80-96 start motor and let warm completely. Shut down and let cool about 4 hours with hood shut. Then retorque to 110. In one week we then torque to 125. In about 30 days we torque again to 125.



With a standard gasket we just take then straight to 125 and do a retorque in a week to 10 days. Also the Cummins number for the marine gasket is as follows:



. 020 over 3283339

. 010 over 3283337

stock 3283335



Hope this helps, if you have any questions please feel free to phone.
