Re: Cummins air compressor
I decided to throw the one head back on and drive it until I can prep another engine, and until the weather warms enough to swing the engine outside. I have 4 855 engines but they all need work. I am thinking of building a 350hp NT88 for this truck. The one I have was so worn that it leak oil from every gasket, but should be buildable without machining (I hope). The other option is to put the "core" engine I bought for my other Cabover, in this one. I wait to make the choice until I have pulled the heads on the NT88 and can look at the counterbores.
All in all not a productive week.
