Cool..
After I put 20 psi back in all tires, the van just barely touch's the door when its up. I will have to strap the suspension down before I remove the engine to be able to even open the door after the engine is out..
Is there a bolt torque sequence for head removal? Or only for install?

My Machinist mentioned the cylinders didn't look so bad, but still no word yet.
I spoke with Zach Hamilton about his 178-208 cam. But after I explained what I wanted from my tow vehicle he said..
""If it were mine, I would get a htbg 57mm s-300 with a 14cm housing and pair it up with a 188-208 cam. That will be enough air to cool your egts quite a bit. On injectors, there are a few options available. You should verify with the choice with an injector company, but I would run a 5x.012" which is a 5 hole nozzle with a .012" orifice , if you want to lean towards economy or 5x.014" if you want to lean towards performance. Also, I would go vco not sac style.""
Think his suggestion is a good plan?
I'm also giving up on Jeff at Mumau Diesel.. I talked to him and it seemed he wanted to help me out. But I then sent a more detailed email which was never answered. Even after I called back and asked a employee to remind him to answer.. Nothing.
So I'm tempted to order my rebuild kit from http://www.cumminsperformanceparts.com since Zach linked to it for whatever reason. Decent vendor?

I finally got the engine running with no issues so far.. Definitely runs stronger and its not even broken in.
Its been over one year since it started "blowing white smoke!!" I crack up on how urgent my wife made the first post sound.:ylsmoke: Shes gone, but the cummins van will remain for a long time!
