- In this video we install the cam and end plates on my 2012 Cummins ISX Single Cam.
Special thanks to:
ATL Diesel: www.atldiesel.com
for all your engine rebuilding needs.
Also to my neighbor Chris for all his help
🎼I like Big TRUCKS and can not lie🎶 ...
I appreciate the tutelage. Simple, seemingly complete. And without stretching it out so as to induce "viewer coma!" Thank you.
Moshe Chaim lol that was my goal
Holy Shit!
That's the biggest cam shaft I have ever seen!
My hands were twitching as you two expertly installed it and I'm glad no fingers appeared to have been pinched during the install.
Thanks for sharing and as always keep building👍
lol, that was my biggest concern. We talked over the operation over and over again before we performed it. Thanks Todd, I appreciate your continued support.
@@TerraFirmaX You don't have to thank me Brother!
What you're doing and what your able to accomplish on your homestead is mind blowing, most videos show an advanced indoor facility with engineers and machines to do all the heavy lifting and you and your friends can still pull off this work with your hands and some blood and sweat and tears.
I'm a hands on person and can really appreciate what your doing!
@@ToddLarsen Well, I still thank you. So many negative comments on this on Facebook. I feel the same way you do, hands on and work with what you got. It would be nice to have all that advanced equipment. But I believe in just getting it done in the best way you know how. It would be easier with all that stuff, but I don't have that option. By the way, I get more positive feedback than negative, so I must be on to something right?
@@ToddLarsen I Love what you said by the way
Looks like you're doing a good job. We use reground cams in our old cats and have had good luck with them. Check your rocker arm rollers for excessive roller to pin play and or drag when you push on them towards the pin (as the cam would push on them) and rotate them. Many times the failed cam starts with a roller "skidding" or not turning due to the wear in the rollers pin. Cummins released new rocker arm pins in any rocker arms you buy now. The new style pins are branded "diamond Like" and seem to make the skidding issue go away.
If you cleaned (soaked)your rocker arms in solvent soak them in warm oil a few days to get lube back on that pin to roller joint. If you installed new pins your good to go.
Personally I think running a viscosity helper once the engine is broken in ( after first oil change) is a good idea. I don't mention brand names but we all have our favorites. I just found this video so I have no history on your build. Im glad to see you wearing sweatshirts i was told Arizona is just HOT. When I retire i want to move to the mid west.
Gob bless America,love the way you guys can carry a side arm.
good job to chris you on utube ,we always need that help.

hd93scooter thanks buddy. Merica.
Ok, like You suggested..I cringed when I saw you use a ball peen hammer on that innocent aluminum cover..... I'm sure the manual calls for a 16ounce Carpenter's Claw hammer instead...😂 With ZZ Top helping you... it'll Purrrr like a Cat....🤣👍
Good job on sticking it in. 😝
Jills Homestead Experience lol
4 hands with lotsa lube on that Bumpstick....👍😁👍
Seeing as you have a 2012 have you ever had any work done or replaced the high pressure fuel pump? There was a tsb for it many years ago i believe, but the fuel pump has ceramic plungers that will eventually fail and will send shrapnel into the engine and can cause severe or catastrophic damage. Just had one come apart on a 12 isx where i work. Might be something to look into while its apart.
Other then that youre doing awesome work! Keep up the great progress!
Mark Partida yes, all that was updated a year and a of ago.
My fuel pump let go nearly 2 years ago. We replace the fuel pump, oil pump, pickup tube. oil cooler, oil thermostat as well as some other areas, so al that is good now
Exactly
I'm thinking a about ordering an Inframe kit from them but I hear their parts are bad quality. Have you had any trouble since your rebuild and how many miles you got on it?
No problems whatsoever with 80,000 on the inframe. There is nothing wrong with these aftermarket parts. When you hear people say they are bad ask yourself this, how does a company like PAI stay in business all these years if they made bad parts. Plus when people say "Cummins only" isn't that what failed in the first place?
Hope this helps
@@TerraFirmaX Thanks for the reply. Do you know anyone else that has bought a rebuild kit from them? I can order basically everything for the engine for $10,400 and that is "almost everything!" When Cummins shop estimated me for $48,000 for parts and labor with less parts. I just hope I can find a good mechanic that could do the labor.
I wonder how this trucks running now looking to do the same thing without having to do Cummins part and update video would be highly appreciated
Working on a update vid right now. It’s still running great
Hello, how are you. I living in Las Vegas, Nevada? I would like to ask you how the camshaft came out. I don't know if it has given you any problems with that. Thank you if you can tell me. Please 🙏
The cam went flat, I out a brand new cam and rockers in and no problems since
@@TerraFirmaX thanks so it is better Cummins original thanks?
@@nevilzamorapages9189 for the cam yes
Just dropped off my trk for valve camshaft- now Mecanic who i truly trust mention i need to replace rockers, bearings, other camshaft (injectors shaft). Parts only like $7k. My truck is international 2005. Engine is really strong. I didnt feel i should be in shop. Now, is it worth to do all this work? Truck has 1.2 mil. Should i inframe it too?
Why are you in the shop if it's running strong? you are getting close to inflame time though
@@TerraFirmaX
Was adjusting my valves in November - they told me my camshaft was wearing out. Well i put another 4k miles and dropped it at shop last week. Yesterday they found out more wear on shaft bearings, and rocker arm,….. etc.
Is it normal for the Cummins isx to idle at 18 to 22 psi during hot summer months??
sticK&Clutch yes. I know that’s scary but yes
How is rebuild kit going from atl diesel
Going great! I only have 75,000 miles on it so far but no issues
Shouldn’t this be done inside a shop to keep that dust away
Well, under Ideal conditions, but sometimes you have to work with what you have
Start wearing Gloves, your hands are beat to shit
LOL, I know, I'm getting beat up pretty good
Eh! Looks about average size to me.🧐😜
Green Dream Project lol. That’s funny jim
@@TerraFirmaX you were expecting these jokes, right?😂👍
