Cummins cam follower gasket thickness?

You gotta remove them to find the thickness, it's never correct based on serial number

 

Yes. It was a Cummins reman thing to do so. They would recon sc’s to bc 2 specs all the time. Bringing oil psi down stops bearing washout and helps bearings last longer. A Cummins oil pump is like a fire pump. Very high volume. It is overkill already. It pumps a ton of oil if un regulated.

 

You should absolutely time the cam followers using the correct tool. All 3 followers can have different thickness shims. What spec are you timing it to?

 

Do you remember why Cummins done away with the high pressure oil pump setup…?

 

^^^^^^ this.

I try to make sure each cam follower is put back in the same location I removed it from. Mine are marked 1 2 3 with a pin punch….

 

I Oxbow’d myself again lol….
