76 CCDRW...Cummins noises
- Thread starter 76zimmer
- Start date
I don't recognize any of those parts except the valve covers. A lot must have changed on that engine between your year and mine.
Well duh, everyone knows how to do it....
You just pull the distributor and use a drill to drive the pump.
I'm not sure how to drive a Cummins oil pump. I can tell you this, my bankout build project where I used a spare 5.9 Cummins I had, was sitting for well over 2 years, and was kept inside a barn. I didn't do anything but bar the engine over by hand a rev or two, and then let it crank with no fuel to let it have a chance to build oil pressure at a slow speed. I believe however, I did bar my engine over by hand randomly once or twice during that close to 3 year span.
If you are not comfortable with moving the crank by hand, you could pull the injectors and squirt some breakaway into the cylinders. Although, then I would be concerned with a quick fire up, depending on the type of spray lube you use, that would make the engine fire up for a second running on that lube right after you start to crank it with the starter. You want it to just crank for 20 seconds or so with no firing on fuel.

Pressure vessel. Tap into the main gallery in the side of the block.

Or like he said. Disco the fuel solenoid. Remove valve cover. Crank with starter till oil at the top end.
from left clockwise: Fuel filter mount casting; intake manifold to top of cylinder head; air intake; oil filter mount casting;
Not shown are the tappet side engine cover; and the front geartrain cover.

My main concern is the bearings getting oil to them before firing it up...we have turned the engine over by hand without issue, but I just wonder how "dry" the bearings are after 18 months

That's not really that long. I would not worry about it. Unplug the fuel shutoff solenoid pull some valve covers. Or all the valve covers. And run the starter till the rockers are lubed. I would do it with my pressure vessel. I would actually fill the sump with it through the main gallery. But that's just me, most wouldn't do that. It's not nessisary. Plus if you don't have a vessel on hand it's a mute point anyways.
Just crank it with the solenoid unplugged.

Btw you cannot drive the oil pump externally. It's just not possible. It runs off the gear train.
Seems like when I set a date its usually missed and a dissappointment. I have a few major things going on pretty soon as well. The kids sold their house and will all be moving in w/ me...that should be a life changing event as I live by myself and work midnight shift...having a 10 and 3 year old in the house while trying to sleep could be challenging.
Also would like to get some real paint (not just primer) on the Maiden before the hillbilly dunefest in July.
Those will both be happening before getting to the Cummins swap.
Right now I would like to get it in the truck by late summer and by fall have things in place to drive it next year...planning on towing to Moab with it for 2016 BB
did get the covers/accessory parts painted today...they turned out more Orange than I thought comparing to the paint chip I selected, but it is slightly more red to it than the Chevy Orange color. The last pic is a Chevy Orange spray can lid next to the valve cover.

I think if I get a pic in the daylight it will look darker than it does in these pics under the flourescent shop lights...even without using a flash they look more orange in the pics than they do to the eye.
Gotta let them dry a bit and I'll see what they look like in a couple hours
