the old cummins ntc were bad about pin holes in the liners so i ran nal cool to stop the bubbles. the blocks were able to be machined without pulling it to fit new liners.
Have a 14L in a 2007 Columbia has been been doing great. Pre emissions. Have done some work around it. Though I think is the problem of the set up from the previous owner. It has earned its place and glad to have it. Hoping to get some more good use out of it before have to work inside the engine like this.
Erosion aka lack of proper coolant maintainer, the liner will flex during operation causing a phenomenon called cavation ( air bubbles) in the 90, we were far far ELC coolant but even ELC should be replaced 100,000 miles . now a good rebuilder will mic the crank, and receiver which is the part where the lower seals make the block and if they are auto spec they will have not only the top counter board they’ll have the lower receivers redone and you can guarantee nice tight fit and eliminate excessive walk of the liner.

ive been told that certain year detroits u cabt machine the head because the supposedly the machine shops are known for taking the arch out of the head snd u hav a high chance of blowing out the head gasket idk how true that is but it kinda makes sense why they always recommend buying a new head for detroit

That pitting on the liner is from the SCA drop out. Or just putting straight green coolant in there. It’s cheaper to put green coolant concentrate. As well as three pints of penn cool to keep cavitation from occurring. Some people don’t keep up with that penn cool conditioner or something similar of a different brand also is a factor. If you drive around bob tail like a show truck that doesn’t really matter about the conditioner. It only comes into play when the trucks working hard especially with being lugged.

We are having an issue with our 2013 D13 volvo. It will run for hours. The minute you stop and try to go again it jumps out of gear and says high clutch load on the dash. It won't go anywhere but tries to lurch forward. It's like you have no accelerator though. Volvo engineers have looked at it and can't figure it out. We are desperate
I know this is quite a bit later. I had this problem. The lever that changes gears inside the transmission had worn out. Comes from low air pressure. I had to replace the transmission. Everybody tried to tell me it was injectors. The mechanic had taken apart the transmission to show the exact part that failed. I have the same year and model of engine
thank you for this video 🙏🏼 i have a question : what’s the recommended idle RPMs for this engine? when i turn on the cruise control and engage it goes straight to 1,000 but it seems too high to idle let’s say for 2-3 hours for heater/AC so i leave it around 750rpms . what are your thoughts on this?

It is erosion, now there is certainly both but the counterbore area under the liner and lower seal area are most definitely erosion, this can also be found on the head and injector cup. Proper coolant maintenance is a must to hinder cavitation.

Sixties have few but very common oil leaks, most are very easy to rectify.

Whatever RPM it's at when your oil pressure is at 30 PSI. Usually 1000
As above, 1000-1100. Why? One issue is the turbo seals will relax causing consumption issues.
If you use aftermarket parts they will pit and erode more than original oem parts>
