I WAS RACING A MUSTANG IN VEGAS AND I MUST HAVE HUNG AN INJECTOR OPEN, WHEN WE WERE DONE, THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING ROUGH AND SMOKING PRETTY BAD, I SHUT IT DOWN AND SENT IT BACK TO MY GARAGE IN ELKO, IT WAS MY FIRST DAY OF VACATION, OUCH, I BOUGHT A HEMI DURANGO AND FINISHED MY VACATION, I PULLED THE MOTOR APART LAST NIGHT AND DISCOVERED THIS, # 5 PISTON BURNED AND A CANYON IN THE SIDE OF THE CYLINDER WALL, SHOULD I BUY A SHORT BLOCK OR SLEEVE THIS ONE, HOW MUCH CAN YOU BORE A 5. 9 CUMMINS, THIS IS MY SECOND MOTOR IN LESS THAN A YEAR, ALSO DOES ANYONE KNOW IF I CAN BUY A 6. 7 LITRE SHORT BLOCK AND BOLT MY 5. 9 CYLINDER HEAD DIRECTLY TO IT,Oo.

#5 INJECTOR IS BAD, STUCK OPEN AND TOASTED THE PISTON, THE OTHER PISTONS LOOK BRAND NEW, THERE IS ONLY ABOUT 5-6000 MILES ON THIS ENGINE, IT DOESNT EVEN LOOK LIKE THE RINGS HAVE FULLY SEATED YET ON THE OTHER PISTONS, MAYBE A LITTLE TOO MUCH TIMING, BUT I HAVE NOT GOT THIS ENGINE OVER 1400 DEG FOR MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SECONDS, THE CROSS HATCH LOOKS FRESH, I THINK IM GOING TO HAVE THIS BLOCK SLEEVED BUT I DONT KNOW HOW RELIABLE THAT WOULD BE, WHEN I GO BACK TOGETHER I WANT NO LESS THAN 700 H. P. I WOULD LIKE 800-900 BUT IM NOT EXACTLY SURE ON WHICH SET UP TO TRY... HOW ABOUT SOME IDEAS :-laf

 

[Money Maker]

off topic but what gears do you have spinning those meats?



ohh and did ya beat the stang?

i have several ideas and i think they would keep that thing together for good!

 

[AMassaro]

Unless it's different on a Cummins, which it shouldn't be, when sleeved correctly, the engine should be as strong if not stronger than when stock.

Thanks, I'm looking at making changes to my truck. Wondering what size tires I will be able to get away with on my 3. 73's.

When did this happen?

Seems like there was more carnage on the streets then there was on the tracks that week! Saw a brownish colored 2 nd gen that must've broke something also that Friday, got pulled into the track parking lot on a rope and sat out there all weekend. think I saw then using a come along to get it up onto a trailer Sunday morning. Almost looked like work!!

I already want to trade the durango in for a new 6. 7 mega cab to tow my 03 around, i would rather drive it, but they start to get easy to break after a couple of mods

I don't believe I'd push a CR engine without individual port pyrometer leads running to a logger that shows you the hottest cylinder... seen too many of these "hung an injector, nuked a piston" posts/pics scares me

YUP - sorta makes swapping out a VP-44 seem trivial by comparison...
