Detroit DD15 with blown head gasket

I was told just a while back that Cummins is on something like their 15th liner change on the ISX. Now it is a 2 piece liner. So far it seems to be doing the trick.

 

2 piece liner or added brass shim under liner ?

 

I was told a 2 piece liner. This man is always talking with the guys at his nearby Cummins dealer.

 

I'm hijacking the intent of the original thread. Sorry @Truck engine machinist.

 

Yeah, it's always something nowadays. Like my buddy's C-16. He couldn't keep his brand new one (well, new glider with a 2000 vintage C-16,) together either...Cat changed the liner design about 8 times till finally they got it straightened out so far. By boring out for displacement, they sacrificed liner thickness.
Of course he's one of those guys that can't leave well enough alone either...Bully Dog box, cams, injectors...just building a hotter fire all the time usually leads to troubles eventually.

 

I'm happy to see you working hard to save your customer some money and grief. Good work.

 

Good work (and thinking,) TEM....√√√
