Hi all. I have a 2h with 450000KLM on it. It burns a bit of oil and I would like to freshen it up along with fitting a turbo. I am a Plant Mechanic by trade and have worked for Cummins for the past 9yrs, I will be building the engine.
My querie is about the 2h and its common faults. I will need to do the build as quickly as possible, without shortcuts. In order to do so I am afteran idea from you experienced guys as to what is commonly required to return this engine to servicable.
Things like:
Do they require a tunnel bore?
Do the require cam bearings?
Do the require a camshaft?
Will the valve train (rockers, followers, pushrods) need replacing?
Oil pump?
Cylinder head?
Do they have liners and can they be replaced?
Also with the turbo install in mind, are there some options I should be considering in relation to longevity?
Pistons?
Rods?
Head gasket?
Thanks guys
