Agree or disagree?

IMO C13. ISX that old can cost a fortune if things haven’t been replaced like fuel and timing actuators or overhead. Neither are cheap to overhaul.

After talking to Leiffi I’m leaning toward an truck with a new Detroit. I’m looking at this jewel sitting here and can’t see what’s not to love. The only thing that would make this one better is if it wasn’t in a concrete truck and it was crammed down half under the cab of a Cascadia. Click the image to open in full size.

I asked a buddy and this is what I got back

“I have a C 8PN without a fuel pump. A aftercooled 7fb if I don’t use it. For the right price a 4mg complete I could pull out of another truck”

Jesus that looks worse than our stuff crammed in a tractor!


Most we're looking at has 8-900K on them, and while I know that's getting close to needing an OH, we're only going to be putting maybe 30K a year on it.

We're definitely looking for yellow engines, and would prefer a 15L, but if I find the right truck or cheap enough truck we might take something else. Whatever we get will be tuned and any garbage removed...

If you go C13, put the high volume oil pump on it immediately.
The Cams and followers can go all to ****, roughly at the 600k mile mark depending on maintenance and use.

Our c-13’s have been good to us but we pull good maintenance.
Both of them have 525hp tunes in them and are really no slouch and get good fuel mileage.

Looks like it, bottom of the piston was nice and wet with oil.

This hasn’t been apart recently? Seen guys get lazy and not take oilers out before they pull pistons and bend one with the rod. Doesn’t take much.

Dunno, I bought it used but it looks pretty fresh besides the carnage.

The spray pattern looked a little wonky on that piston, like it might be outside the bowl, but only on that one. It's #1 btw

I'm used to seeing deformation of the crown/bowl before it is hot enough to gall due to in cylinder temp.

Four corner scoring is almost always lube/cooling related.
Faulkner is probably right on with a deformed jet.

Copy. I was only seeing 8-850 at 30 psi with whatever this turbo might be.

If that’s after the charger add 300* at least.


Nothing on the liner like this? This was one bad injector

This was right foot related. Had 2 others just like it.

Yeah, after the turbo. Liner looked fine besides the aluminum stuck to it.

Was the bowl cracked or eroded on that one? Just curious
