RE: Valve cam replacement Well we did some tests and found that he had some leaking injectors, #s 2 & 6, with #4 causing water level movement but not bubbles. He had replaced all 6 back in March, and golly gee guess what? Yup they of course were on the recall list! We popped all 6 and off to Cummins we went...they had ZERO clue what he was talking about with our recall memo we have here on this fine info bank. They finally agreed that it looks legit, but being US Thanksgiving they couldn't get any authorization to swap all 6..."but wait, what do you mean these three are leaking? There is no way to know that!" So I showed them Cummins part number 3164001 and injector leak testing procedure 006-026 on Quickserve. Both the Shop Manager & Shop Foreman HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE!!! They even went into thier own inhouse QS to verify it, and yes this was CUMMINS WESTERN CANADA EDMONTON! After their enlightenment, from a pair friggin truck drivers, they gave 8042 three new reman injectors (all dated post notice) and new O-rings for the other three and back to the shop we went... We installed the "new" injectors in the rear bank so if they come good for the other three they're the easy ones to change. We reinstalled all the rocker assy's and I showed 8042 how I run an overhead on an ISX. We also found: 1)The little tab that clamps the IMAP sensor in place was bent up, not holding it securely into it's position in the intake. Probably causing a boost leak. 2)When his previous removal was done, they never removed the center electrical pin from the Delta-P sensor, so he pulled it off to do this and guess what? Yup, more high quality workmanship, THERE WERE NO FRICKIN SQUARE O-RINGS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SENSOR!!! Yup, more boost leaks! Well we got all this done, and fired it up. It runs nice and smooth. I'll let him tell his cam story if he wants. It's not real bad, but needs attention shortly. For now due to time, on both our parts, and cost & situation he's running the cam until we can get some time to bang that in... Hope it runs well for you for the time being 8042!
