Help identifying Cummins

Idk about these big semi engines, but yea machine shop take heads too magnaflux everything i guess b4 alot of work . I guess they can get microfractures like any other engineblock and head

 

You’re not gonna clean that up so it will run, as stated you need a machine shop or another core/good used runner.

 

It’s a 50/50 crap shoot but I do agree it could solve several upcoming issues all at the same time. Usually pulling the bunk off of non integrated cab models is no big deal. Finding a non integrated cab these days is sorta tough though.

 

I think you'll have much more difficulty trying to find parts for the cab/interior than you would for the frame.

If the rails and crossmembers are solid you would probably be further ahead buying an air ride cut off and installing that over swapping the cab and engine, rad and transmission over to a new frame.

 

A frame swap like that could get complicated in a hurry. A cut off is a much better option if you’re wanting to keep the cabover.
