Cummins cam follower gasket thickness?

Does anyone happen to know the cam follower gasket(s) thickness for CPL 160? “Thickness”, is probably the incorrect term but which gasket part number or combination of gaskets, to be used? I’ve got two jig timers to use, as soon as I get my heads back from the machinist. Can the gasket sets vary from one follower to the next, or can two different CPL 160’s have different gasket combinations? Are things such as cam wear, push rod wear, valve wear conducive to gasket variations? Is there a standard?

 

“Do not do that”, because of wear on internals? Just curious because when Cummins built these engines new, did they use the jig timing gauges on every engine?

 

I’ve been building this engine exactly how several of you guys suggested and it’s got me realizing just how cobbled up alot of old Cummins engines are and were, due to folks wanting more power. “Just turn the fuel pressure and change the button”. So, many even old timers, who drove trucks back in the 60’s and 70’s have told me this. Very few folks know how to do it the proper way.

 

Definitely been alot more extensive than an inframe but I’ve learned alot. I’m at the point where the liners, pistons, bearings, cam is timed and are all in. Pump and injectors are built, water to air is ready, new piston coolers and new oil cooler. What can and should I do about the oil pump?

 

I’m sure this has an original small cam oil pump, but you’re suggesting a bc 2 pump to replace it?
