The 6.7 Cummins engine is known for its high torque output but has mixed reviews due to emissions equipment.
The blown-up engine contains valuable parts that can be sold separately.
The engine's cylinder heads show signs of contact with the pistons, indicating internal damage.
One of the cylinders has a missing push rod, contributing to the engine failure.
The crank pulley and timing cover are removed to access and inspect various components.
What is the significance of removing the emissions equipment?
—Removing the emissions equipment allows for better performance and increased compatibility with aftermarket parts.
Can the blown-up engine still be repaired?
—While it is possible to repair a blown-up engine, it is often more cost-effective to replace it with a new or rebuilt one.
What are the signs of engine damage?
—Signs of engine damage include abnormal noise, loss of power, excessive smoke, and poor fuel efficiency.
Why are push rods important in an engine?
—Push rods are critical components that transmit motion from the camshaft to the valves, controlling their opening and closing.
What are the benefits of removing the crank pulley and timing cover?
—Removing the crank pulley and timing cover allows for easier access to components such as the oil pump, camshaft, and timing belt or chain.
