Where is everyone #5

Saw something aboot an X19 today up to 820Clydesdale and 2900turkey. Big 6.

 

That was sometimes due to the way the head gasket was made or the material. A lot of John Deere engines were that way till the 40 or 50 series come out. Then they updated the gasket design for the older stuff and the retorque was no longer a thing. Not saying yours is in that category just a possibility as to why

 

Modern kta

 

Idk the first dam thang bout it , if its a Modern kta or ole lbc .

 

Just curious did you reuse the old bolts? I've never..

 

For me depends on what I’m working on and what they look like. And how they torque. A stretched bolt has a feel you pull like hell and the wrench won’t pop. So many things are torque to yield these days and require new bolts.

 

It's definitely interesting working on the older stuff. Seems like all I work on lately are tractors from the 70's up to the early 2000's.

 

You got a link to any kind of real information about this? All I can find is a bunch of AI generated slop on YouTube. Not a single article or cummins press release.

 

Oh, yeah you do. That concrete ain't gonna like what's coming it's way.

 

No i suppose not . Although i did see a vid on a marine application but was refered to as a 19L kta .
