Damn right you will, how can you deny this it's power steering?

I also bumped my oil feeds up to -6. Hydraulic hose too, just in case my relief fails and my oil pressure jumps to a couple thousand pounds. ;-)

Got the core support bolted back together and the radiator and hoses back in. It's ready for water and startup, but some filthy heathen ran off with my power steering line to the gearbox. I've just been picking up around the garage, which it has badly needed, since it looks like someone set a car bomb off in it.

I did happen to find my old tamper-proof cap for my smoke screw. Think I'd fool anyone if I put it back on the pump? :mrgreen:

Sounds like somebody's jealous huh, Justin. :mrgreen:

Anyways, I am ready to fire minus the power steering not having fluid in it. I threw it all together in anticipation of how it'll look. This is it, minus blankets and maybe some paint on those IC pipes.

Also, here's my electric fan setup. Not wired up yet, but I'll just do that as time allows once it's moving around again. I'll stick some foam between the shrouds and the core so they'll actually pull through it.

Thanks for the comments, guys.

I feel kind of bad, because there's not even close to a day and a half's worth of info in this thread. :lol:

better make double sure everything is good before you start it, crappy to start it needing to break in the cam then have to shut it off to fix a leaky line or something.

looks good though, send me some tight 90* bends and i'll make you that nice intake plate that you want 8)

The color is Detroit Diesel Green or Alpine Green. I never looked into a Cummins Green as I wasn't aware there was one. :oops:

Oh well, the DD Green is just offensive enough to Cummins guys to be perfect. 8)



Alex, what is the breakin routine for these cams? I've started to look around for one, or call Zach, but since I've still got a day or so I haven't sweated it too badly yet. I've also started sniffing around for an IC'd radiator and Thermostat housing, but I don't know if it would bolt up to my core support...
