    I’ll get a picture tomorrow. It could be piston cooler nozzles are they able to be replace from the out side of the block.

    The part looks like a 8 Figure 8 turned sideways with a bolt on one side and just a round part flat on the other all one piece

    Thank you I looks it up the part is the piston cooling nozzle I’ll order 2 up cause only two are leaking and I guess just unbolt and push a new one in.

    Thank you.

    Yes change them all. They're quite inexpensive and can cause you engine problems.

    Cummins tells you to use vegetable oil on the O-rings. They may be very tight going in. Carefully tap them in.

    I would guess there is 6 piston cooler nozzles 3 on each side ? Ok I’ll replace all .
    I forgot I signed up for that other website with my ESN but I didn’t see any Manuals for the older small cams

    There are six piston cooling nozzles, one for each cylinder.

    I do not know about the small cam Cummins, but on the big cam they are all lined up on the passenger side.

    Here’s a video I put up the other day for the n14 cooling nozzles, it should be pretty similar? The video is not that good but at least a visual
