Recomended engine overhaoul kit?

[msparker]

Hi, I am overhauling my 2004.5 Cummins with 213k on the odo. Engine is stock since new, except DDP +50 injectors @ 165k. Tear down inspection revealed #1, & #6 had the top ring broken. Planning on Pistons, Rings, & Bearings since the cylinder bores are good. I would like advice on where best to purchase an overhaul kit, and what brands I should or should not use.

I would consider putting in the 03-04 style piston and injector nozzle, they are much stronger.

As far as an overhaul kit have you called your local Cummins? I would only use Cummins parts.

I checked with the local Cummins distributor. No kit available, they offered to quote individual parts. That seems like a long, expensive row to hoe. any other suggestions?
