Keep up the good work you’re going to blow up at some point soon.

12 valves help marriages last longer because you can't ever hear your wife while your driving it.

Piss of Al Gore and the EPA, you say? Count me in.

“700hp isn’t streetable with a single” My dumbass daily driving a big single 900hp duramax can absolutely verify that is true. It’s a rough life

30 +years no dowel pin problem, gobs of torque, 20+MPG, and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NO expensive repairs except 3 gallons of Delo once a year!

I know how your parts got lost in the mail. It's because idaho doesn't exist and so all mail headed there just falls off the side of the earth...cause it's flat. 🧐

I notice the 6.4 PSD was not even on your chart 😂

The 12v was my first experience with a diesel engine in a pickup so it'll always have a sweet spot with me

That tortoise yawning was the slowest, most hilarious thing ever.

You are doing the rest of the build I wanted to do with my first gen. Good job

Great video. I thought lost the 7.3 in my 96 F250 and really looked into the numbers to swap to a 5.9. Anyway I sliced it, it felt like a lateral move considering money and power like your chart shows. Sure in the long run it might have been worth it, but after I tore down the 7.3 I found it had cracked injector cups and 5 of the 8 injectors and holes were carboned up from a bad batch of homemade diesel. I cleaned it up, new seals and injectors and a few while I’m here things and it runs great again. Back in the road for under $7,000 which I was good with considering it’s a 28 year old truck with 500,000+ miles

Dropped a valve on my racing lawnmower and bent a pushrod. why did Briggs make the exhaust valve pushrod hollow aluminum?

Casual and super entertaining engine build ... good channel to subscribe to ... being a Ram 5.9 owner.

I have a 12 valve in my 68 F100 short bed in people's minds are always blown on how much I have into it to get it to run as well as it does

wow it amazes me how far trucks have come my 2018 F150 is putting 350 🐎 horse and 430 pounds of torque to the ground with just a 93 octane tune. just a decade or so ago u had to have a Diesel to make that much. We are really spoiled horsepower wise with modern truck! Not to mention modern Diesels putting out 500 horse and 1200 pounds of torque!! unfortunately emissions systems and def have killed there reliability. Great video brother I'm not really a Cummins guy but I enjoy this video and look forward to more

I was so hoping you would use those new golf ball speed of air pistons! Love your content!!

I love how many people completely missed the point of your video. Keep up the good work

That’s quite a bit of work. I’ll probably never build a diesel engine but can definitely enjoy your suffering buddy. 🛠️

I giggle at every 600hp 12 valve, because it's really only 400... Get a full port job though and the head outflows a 4 valve.

A p pump 12 v bottom end can handle about 700hp stock, all you need is 3-4k gov springs, valve springs, arp head studs, 0 fuel plate( or no plate), a nice set of 120 horse injectors, 4 or 5 in turbo back straight pipe, nicely tuned pump, and a 3rd gen turbo (or one of your choosing), and you can make a clean very reliable 450-550 hp with over 1000ft lbs of torque, and also a tranny that’ll hold this power, but it is very easy and very cheap to build one of these pigs, love the vids please correct if I’m wrong but I’ve seen and helped build multiple p pump 12v to rippers ( can’t say the same for VE pump 12v, there just pigs )

Great vid, man. I learned a lot. Question: Who do you recommend for a built transmission to handle that kind of power? I'm not going that high with my 7.3 PS, but i like to overbuild.

I never understand why people try to juice up 12 valves... The best thing about them is that they're tireless dogs. Add oil. Add diesel or jet fuel. Go for literally forever.

Awesome, happy to find a new channel to binge of quality content.

This video was perfect. Love the way that you put up a chart with all the answers and went over both the pros and cons.

1st time watching one of your videos, I watch another dude that does workout videos Ryan Humiston, and I swear you not only look like him but your humor is exactly like his. You made me laugh about 80 times. Educational and funny. Subscribed!

I was always on the fence with diesels, but I still remember the day Mozart's Lacrimosa played in my head when I saw a single cab shortbed D150 Cummins swap with a turbo bolted straight to the exhaust manifold timed right at head, piped directly to the intake. It was so beautiful. So simple. Just a turbo, a short piece of pipe, and two short rubber hose connectors. Straight out the turbo and literally straight into the throttle body. Perfection.

Im glad you made this video, i love my 12v cummins. Its a stick shift, 4x4, dually found it for 9k bone stock. Ive installed compounds, replaced turbos, imstalled a dual mass clutch, and now im on to head studs and pump upgrades. This is really expensive and time consuming. But i wouldnt trade how easy the repairs are for the hp my dads 6.7 makes, hes spent triple just in repairs for failed parts

Great video n information can't wait to see part 2

Ever get those results for the bypass filter?

Something about putting in the extra effort to balance the crank, rods and pistons as well as putting every part through electrolysis to clean it all the way up just gives you peace of mind. The way a balanced engine runs and sounds is amazing as well as how much vibration gets eliminated.

ive been slowly but surely building my 97 7.3 into a (more) reliable motor. been a fun project to say the least, every time a part fails, i do my research and replace it with something tougher or more efficient. the fluidampr harmonic balancer and melling LPOP was the last real battle I had with the truck. injector o-rings and valve cover gaskets are coming up next. i did wonder for a while if i wouldn't have been better off 12v swapping it but the money never looked right when you consider all the supporting mods into that swap, especially when i already had a running truck producing acceptable power. i appreciate the video my man.

Diesels aren’t really my thing, but they’ve been on the fringe of my interest for a while now. This was an entertaining entry into the subject. Great video style. It’s also cool to see something other than a LS go into the service truck. You got yourself a new subscriber!

Loved the video. The 12 valve is my favorite engine by a mile. I pulled one out of a ford box truck to swap into my dually square body. Timing cover plaque states 230HP @2200rpm and 605ft lbs of torque @1400rpm. It moves the truck along pretty nice, although I've always wanted to turn it up. But so far I've left it alone because I absolutely need that stock, million mile reliablity. But it's tempting...

That Isky tool is pretty neat. I did the same thing with my 12 valve, except I did it in the truck. Had to make shorter handles for it because the original handles hit the firewall.

Love your videos and your sens of humor. I have inherited my late fathers 2002 2500 sport with the 24 valve vp44 he already had it tuned and tickled up to about 450 hp not sure i believe it.

Kdp got my 1st gen at 190k ish previous owner payed to have it fixed. They jb welded the cracked case and billed for doing it right, left the pin in the oil pan for me to find. The crank gear slipped ~ ½ a tooth retarded the cam. Stock 160/400 tune made 491.0@1846 178.3@1976 to the tire. At~500k mi it got an overhaul crank was bent and mains where tapered from1 @0.0045 through 4@0.0035 5-7 @0.0035 so would pass mustard as factory new.. 5 and 6 where 0.003 out of round and took 0.020 over to clean up. Point is theas are tuff motors. Put the 2nd gen on a 3k lbs trailer (16500lbs total)and went for a 550mi drive to seat the rings

Hones are really meant to make a bore round and take the taper out while taking them to size as well and to give them a good finish, that is actually a degalzer but what ever😶

WOW! Thanks I really enjoyed you video. I also found out I was real smart in 06 to buy my lbz truck....lol

I like the Premiers gives an opportunity to talk with the creator

"Still has a dashboard & rocker panels" Bro.....that had me ROLLIN'! 😆👍🏻👍🏻

I had a Case 2096 with the 5.9 Cummins…the engine was phenomenal!…the tractor not so much…Case put them in most of their construction equipment that was 20 ton and under…they had them in their Maxxum 5100 and 5200 series…super engines!..

Good video, I've spent 15k+ on just making sure my 12 valve runs good for another 30 years. It was bone stock, probably didnt need to mess with it, if you ever driven a stock p7100 you know the struggles. Banks twin ram, ex manifold, afc live, 58mm turbo, exhaust brake, intercooler, headjob, banks intake, ARP studs, straight pipe, gauges, ETC. Its ready for the end times but it probably makes 250-3500 hp for ever.

Aaand found my new favorite channel. Instant subscribe

We need an update on the bypass oil filter please good sir!!

Well done sir! Just curious though, do you have a breakdown of the costs in the chart? (The way you broke down the 12v was perfect, I’m curious how you came to those numbers for the other engines, particularly the 7.3 power stroke). 👍

Just found your channel today, good stuff.

Lisle makes a version of the old Sunnen style hone and they sell it for less than a couple hundred bucks. If your bore is still within size spec for your current pistons and you just want to true it back up you can get it down to tenths of taper with one, and if there's any oval shape to your bores it'll make them round again too. They're supposed to go in a machine to get the perfect crosshatch, but you can do just fine putting it into a hand drill. I did the cylinders on my tractor engine because they needed re-sleeving and I've had zero issues with oil consumption, so I know the crosshatch turned out fine. If you get under half a thou taper you can spin it to 8 grand no problem. Since this is a diesel at 4 grand, you'll have zero issues with that 1 thou of taper and it would be overkill trying to exceed it. You know it's not out of round by more than that either, which is also fine. You'll probably distort the cylinders more than that torquing down the head.

The problem with that isky tool is the cutter geometry is dumb, you really need to grind a touch of relief on the face of the cutter to make it work

Can i ask you to make a video regarding the detroit 6.2? We love it here in Norway :D

Thanks for the reply. 100 percent. I thank you. Appetite all you did . Pray you get a million hits. Mick Australia 🇦🇺

I just put an OM 617 in my jeep. I never spent so much money to be this disappointed. But I get about 20 miles per pound of bacon.

With minimal diesel knowledge from me... what's your opinion on P pump 24V? and re engine swaps, 4BT are more popular in some cases, to at least slightly reduce weight. Turns out they even make a 16V 4BT too but they're hens teeth.

Im down to 20 Cummins and can hardly sleep at night... wtb: more 12V Cummins Turbo Diesels... hmu

I like your attitude and delivery. Sub.

Cool waiting on next part😊

I like that engine stand. Can you give some info?

Man you and me have similar tastes. I like tinkering with trucks and reloading and the 2a as well. I have a 550 on my bench along with a few other presses. The Dillon is the only kinda progressive press I own though.

I like any diesel that can pull 30k gross every day and hit 1 million miles with only oil/filter changes. In this case, that is the 12V/P7100. Truck was $2500 in 2007, still runnin.

Mine is the 24v. Bigger number=Better. Mine was so high tech and clean that it came from the factory WITHOUT a catalytic converter. I have no idea what kind of HP it makes, but I have been pretty cheap with the upgrades. I first got TST to reprogram the ECM for a power increase and they lowered the idle speed. Then I got DD Stage III injectors some kind of modified HX 40 turbo, a fancy exhaust manifold and then a TST Competition box with a custom program for sled pulling. The most expensive upgraded were to the clutch and 5-speed.

My philosophy has always been get what you can out of your vehicle/engine until something breaks, then mod it. My Duramax is at 753,000 miles with a few water pumps and one set of injectors (Yes still original CP3 pump). Tuned of course but she keeps going, trans too. My close friend has a 2012 Cummins and has done so much work to it.... and suffered several breakdowns, mostly because of the work that he thought would be benificial.

Excellent video. From someone not on the bandwagon i can agree with practically everything you said. I dont think ive ever heard anyone push the lbz that hard but id say theyre solid to 550. Hurts a little to not see the idi's represented, you can certainly buy and build a 7.3 idi to get 300hp for under 10k no problem, does take a fair bit more work than all the others though, assuming NA, add another couple grand to hit 400. Perks are theyre quiet, second best sounding engine behind the 6.0, and they were put in the best looking pickups.

I’ll say this I’ve seen a lot of people who love the coyote engine from ford but my experience with one was at first positive then went to the negative once i started seeing every issue it had to offer between 2016-2022 we ended up trading it in for a 22 ram 1500 big horn 4x4 which has been more reliable than the ford and the crazy thing is the ford was well maintained, regular oil changes, tire rotations, replacing brakes and rotors when it was needed, but the truck had a little gremlin that would see if one thing was fixed it would break another thing til it got to the point of the truck becoming unreliable due to overheating and because I was diagnosed with cancer in 2022 that would be a big problem since my appointments weren’t exactly a quick trip one of the medical facilities was 15-25 mins from me but the other was around 35-40 minutes from me which would be a huge problem if we broke down on the way there so that prompted us to finally trade in the ford for a ram 1500 4x4 big horn with a 5.7 Hemi and so far it has been an amazing truck, it’s got everything we could ask for, independent climate controls for driver and passenger, a 9ch Harmon kardon audio system with a 12.0 inch infotainment system although we might have the larger 14.0 inch screen I’d have to measure it regardless it’s useable as the truck has a backup camera, and does gps which is nice, it has satellite radio the truck also features a 120v inverter so you can plug your wall charger in for your phone or whatever device you need to charge such as a laptop, tablet etc so it’s nice and the truck has pretty decent ground clearance for a stock 4x4 truck so definitely one of my new favorites!

Can’t wait to see the next vid

The only thing wrong with this, it's overrated not overated 😂. Great work 🎉

What about a 24 valve with a P-pump conversion done to it?

You dont need all that to make 500hp. And it can be done without rolling coal all over gods green earth if you drive properly. Obviously well built trans using quality parts is a given. My extended cab dually did 13.20s @ 7050lb With a 63, studs, 5x12s, 20 degrees of timing, 4ks, no plate, and a lock up switch. 1500 egts max at the end of the quarter 800 cruising. Daily drove and towed with it like that for 10 years no problems untill i got hit by drunk driver 😢 then it was totaled.

Love your videos. Make more and you will get more subs.

A guaranteed fact. A 913(215hp) ppump is not in the same ballpark as the 160-175hp pumps .

I trully enjoy the may you are !! Open head . Appreciate Mick Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️

Have you heard of steed speed manifolds from Kelowna BC Canada? They make a 1 piece alloy manifold i have had great success with on big horse power Custom built Cat engines. 650 hp 2050 torque. Never broke any studs or had gasket failures.

I’m here to defend and trash my 6.0 all in one comment. You can build a 600 horse truck for way less than 26 grand but your little tidbit about the trans being able to hold it is dead wrong, I’ve gone through 3 stock ones in 3 years at about 500-550 horse 😂

My brothers been snapping LBZ cranks (3) with just tunners added.

As the owner of a 95 12 valve that dynos at 540hp/1236 ft-lbs I started to add up costs over the last few years to prove your costs were excessive and honestly I'm at about $6k but that includes swapping my nv4500 for a nv5600 and me doing all of the work including the trans rebuild. These dinosaurs are expensive to keep alive 😂

DD671 has entered the chat. If you have the means...I highly recommend picking one up

I got a VE pump 12v d350 with the glass getrag from a family friend. 5k running and driving. I'll convert it to 4wd. I dont really want a lot of power. I just want lots of reliability

Nahhhh. As far as classic american diesel truck motors it's 6bt or bust. There are some more exotic swaps that seem to be becoming more popular such as the om606. Personally, I think the john deere 4 banger is better than the 6bt. It's just a pain to track down is all.

I'm fine with my VE Rotary injection pump being tuned to somewhere between 500-550 pound feet of torque.

I hear the “Speed of Air Pistons” are the way to go especially if you are breaking it down.

Put some of that money into a Dillon 1050 and your pockets will be perpetually empty with the price of components these days 😅

The 6BT is a good engine, in light duty trucks they’re kinda heavy, and they’re not very “fast” they make good torque. But for far less you can drop an LS with a Hiroshima hairdryer on it that will outperform it in power and money saved. Imo the trucks that came with the ole cummins b’s had a medium duty bus engine with a light duty drivetrain so if you start working them beyond a bass boat on the weekend they start eating up transmissions and suspension parts. It’s really what you want though really. If you want to stick a compact tractor engine in your Chevy Luv you go right ahead and do that. If you want to put a big block ford with a BDS blower in your grandmas old Lincoln Town Car that’s fine too. 🤷🏻‍♂️

if kept under 8oohp they do just fine

Bro, at the TDR, their are original 12 valve engines with over 1 million miles, many, many of them

I like how he leaves the option of a 24 valve and the fact that you can make a a reliable 500 to 600 horsepower easily with the 6.1 stroker 12 valve and you can still make a 24 valve run with no wires fully mechanical by putting a p pump on it

😂😂 that noise at 18:51 🌈💅🏼

The dt360 is 10 times the motor cummins build. Internationals 5.9l (Dt360) can see 700hp from just a turbo and p7100. And sustain those powers.

I'm looking at an engine with 12 valves. 4 are exhaust, 4 are gas intake and 4 are diesel intake. It was made from 1935-1940 any idea what it is?

What about the 12 valve C? They are much better than Bs in my farm machinery, and they're sleeved.

I still get a kick out of your awesome pointer.

Were at the point where a common rail is very swappable. But i always joke about p pumping my 6.7

Use a stage 3 big stick cam for the 12 valve. Its a must. Idk why 12 valve guys have allergies when it comes to cams.

Any time you think you NEED more than 1 hp per cube out of any diesel you're gonna burn a lot of MONEY Maybe its time to look at a bigger truck KKW Pete Mack etc

Have put more front covers on them than I care to remember lol but extremely reliable engine

12 valves are awesome, especially a clean one

You can be an ultra try hard and pick a 4BT. Hate to think how much money I’ve spent only to make 400 hp. 😂

My 30 year old case is super reliable. And it starts as easy as a gas engine even on the coldest days. Not everything is about racing and motorsports.

Solvent is a far better liquid than oil for crosshatching and cylinder deglazing and it is far faster and takes less strokes per cylinder to get better results.

The graft was not seen correctly ( saved watch again. 👍 and again

to gain more hp with less $$$$$ maybe try compound turbo setup with water meth injection?

1993 dodge 3500 4x4 with a 5 speed. It only last 1,346,000 miles...no... it wasn't fast..but would pull anything you put behind it....and YES ALOT of body parts had to be replaced because of rust

Nothing to do with this 7.3 oil filter 😂😂
