cummins 6bt on the ground

[jaggass]

very good engine.used in alot of vehicles in us and the uk.

[vipmty]

Price?

[aceflyer89]

Is it misfiring? o.O or just (too much) air in the valves?

[kiefer1234566767]

@aceflyer89 its got no torque converter on flex plate so its to light not enough rotational force

[dezamet023]

Is this engine from International or Massey Ferguson combine harvester?

[Motorfordtoyota]

@dezamet023 It says "dodge ram" on the intake between the turbo and malifold. So its out of a Ram.

[brety099]

so u going to let it over heat?

[needmorediesel]

@brety099 it wont over heat that fast

[sirmasterpimp]

Love the sound of a cummins.......Sounds the most like a semi truck out of all the light duty trucks. Too bad you can only get them in commercial trucks and rams.....I'd like to have one of those in a full sized van, 13 mpg is killing me right now......9 if I drive heavy footed.

[rickrolled09]

forget the expenisve grinding machines! You could do some serious grinding on that flywheel..

[dankcorey2424]

love the lope

[arnoldt14]

I dare you to touch the flywheel

[is300ss]

@arnoldt14 hahah i was thinking the same thing

[sixbt]

VE powered 12 Valve, I like it!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bobkf1]

so you can put this in a truck , i thought they were marine engines , what about the 6bta can you put that in a truck

[MrHeyDAWG]

1:04 i cum

[wifebeater756]

i just started geten into diesel does any one know if this could fit in a jeep cherokee and how hard it would be i really want a diesel jeep. i was born to have a diesel cherokee someone help

[silvertungdemon]

@wifebeater756 a 4 banger cummins would no problem but the inline 6 you might have to run electric fans on the radiator and cut the firewall back to make it fit you might also have to get an add a leaf for the fron suspention cuz that engine weighs 1100 lbs

[12VDISLMT]

@wifebeater756 you could pull it off but alot of mods and room clearing would be in order, they do make a 4 cylinder cummins called the 4bt. same size as this one just with 4 cylinders there good lil engines

[xxbal1inxx]

did they ever make slant six diesels?

[SoCoMx309]

@xxbal1inxx

Have you ever seen a Super 225? That is a slant 6 Diesel engine, they put them into mopar trucks/buses they were used between the years of 1962 to 1975. The motors wern't really to popular on vehicles in America, but were more popular in Australia. Plymouth put them in the Valiant 4-door cars. They were good motors, but others wanted the V8 gas motor, not the diesel slant six. These motors where non-turbo, but there were many people who did put turbo's on these cars/trucks...

[1100HondaCB]

93 kw.

[bcschmerker]

Good shot of a common issue with some versions of the 6BT5.9: Apparently the lift pump isn't keeping up with the VE fuel-injection pump's demand as the RPM's go up (fixed in 1994-later 6BT/6BTA with piston-type lift pumps).

[hvguy]

lol, its angry!

[ESLPorVida13]

you selling this?

[AjakeC1]

does that not hurt the turbo at all

[cbman96]

@AjakeC1 does what hurt the turbo?

[Bamchucknorris]

@cbman96 the fact that there probably isnt alot of oil in that engine

[andrew6606]

haha I have the same thing sitting on the floor of my shop too.. cranked the star wheel and fuel screw though.. cant have it running very lone.. too smokey hah

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

nice i wana put one in my f150

[iib8903]

i got one of them in my bus, coupled to an allison A2000 auto box, its a 1990 H registered dennis dart carlyle with a 6BT130 engine. it hates hills though

[AJSFordMan]

What do you have done to the motor that it is lopin

[wasupchristo]

Starve it from fuel

[BlakeMason2]

That looks like one of the very first cummins for the Dodge pickups, a 5.9 with the holset turbo, 165 HP.  I remember the 7.3 TDI from IH had just introduced the first oil controlled injection about the same time.

[tpvalley]

its wierd to think that my 1.8litre 4 cylinder diesel has same type of pump as this but with only a 4 cylinder outlet cam ring etc and much smaller plunger.

A very wide application range and fit for veg oil to!

[W4llyB4nger]

Um WTF? I didn't see any cooling lines....? Running it without coolant? I'm thinking maybe the engine can run without it for a short amount of time but won't that fuck your water pump?

[jdjs8987]

no it wont hurt it

[onecylanderracer]

it wasnt turning in the front

[W4llyB4nger]

wtf are you talking about?

[onecylanderracer]

i said that cuz u seemd so concerned about the water pump.... wasnt even turning over in the front... cuz of no belt hooked up... pump was fine for the short period he ran it... their i said it.. lol

[W4llyB4nger]

gotcha! :) Good point

[yamahonkawazuki]

yup a few minutes wont hurt for a bench/floor start.

[caniwitech]

there is no belt on it. Did you notice the fan wasn't turning? that also means the waterpump wasn't turning.

[W4llyB4nger]

No Fucking Shit. You must be some kinda mensa genius.

[caniwitech]

Do you even paying attention to what people are talking about on here? I wasn't even talking to you anyway. I was ansewering a question from someone else about if this would damage the water pump. So get out of your mom's basement and pick a fight somewhere else smart-ass.

[bigtodd12159]

thanks for the info it will send me in the right direction

[bigtodd12159]

I have a truck that needs that motor how hard is it to go from gas to diesel in a dodge?

[earsneyes1]

Not hard at all. Get the mounts and brackets, beef up the front end with the diesel parts and reinforce the steering box area. This engine is heavy (1000+ lbs.). Get the parts numbers for the diesel version of your chassis.

[stealthsniper96]

a lot of people will tell you its gonna be faster/easier/cheaper to just trade the truck in and get a diesel

[dieselSumbitch]

nice run away, lol i just about did that to mine turnin my pump

[javy0820]

that sounds healthy

[TheMillFairfield]

Sigh.

[digzie1]

and the OLD ones just sound cool.

[NTC335]

萌え☆

[AndersonVillalobos]

it is true that this engine have som trouble with cooling system???

[nemoswint06]

This one does, the cooling system isn't even hooked up! but to answer your question, none of the 5.9's I've ever drove have had cooling problems. I've drove a couple that didn't even have fans on them and they never went over 180*. My 1st gen runs right around 160*.

[tjalsted]

especialy a diesel engine it didnt have near enough time to even warm up at all youd still be able to touch every part on that block

[crazycarney88]

i have the same exact engine in my truck everything is the same down to the starter i love my cummins

[tpvalley]

Dont forget to connect boost compensator pipe!!lol..

[Hotrodx199]

i personally like the 12 valve cummins far better then the 24 valve. you can really crank those old 12 valve cummins up.

[KyleTucker1209]

nah 24 valves are better by far

[moparbeech]

So, can you tell us why you think 24 valve are better?

[KyleTucker1209]

24 valve is a meaner faster cummins. im not saying 12's are bad. but 24s are just an all out better engine

[moparbeech]

Meaner.....OK, Thanks Kyle on your technical input on why 24 valve engines are better, keep up the good work!

[digzie1]

ive got an 06' and a 91' i love the nestalgia feel of the 91's mechanical system---- electronics SUCK but they do keep opperations systems running tight.... not to say my 91 is not tight or anything....

[cyclewhore]

24's make more power stock, but the 12v is really cheap to turn up, all you need is a $60 fuel plate.

[127069]

what power can you turn them up to got plenty of 12v about in uk to play with

[earsneyes1]

We have seen almost 630hp at the wheels with a hopped up VE pump, big injectors and compound turbos; the P7100 pumped 12 valves can hit 1000hp, but that is with big boost, twin turbos, modded pump, big injectors. The torque is ridiculous: 2.2 ft/lbs of torque per hp, so at 630hp, you are looking at over 1300 ft/lbs of torque. It will destroy a stock driveline. But if geared and driven easy, you'll get 20 mpg or better.

[127069]

thanks will have to come to usa on a buying trip and get some bits

[pwarren1010]

12 valves are a mechanical diesel.That makes them easy to diagnose.

[1988diesel]

i want to move the starter to the passenger side.

[1988diesel]

I plan to put a '97 cummins in a '95 F-250 extended cab 4x4 that used to be a 351 windsor(gas).

[s172mch]

i loev it to

where u get it?

[BigDan855]

hope u aleast had some water in engine

[97Z71]

You don't need water in the engine if it's just sitting there.

[amfan12]

Ye syou do, the water helps absorb heat, hot spots can develop very quickly without water

[97Z71]

Water is only needed under load. Sitting on the ground isn't under load; therefor coolant is not needed.

[amfan12]

Wrong, the engine isn't a solid block, water jackets run on the side of the cylinder walls (which are pretty thin) Hot spots develop very very quicky in an engine like that.

[97Z71]

The 6bt is a parent bore block. It doesn't have liners. It's fine without water just sitting on the ground.

[amfan12]

You don't understand what I'm saying. You seem to forgetting that the water jackets will be sitting there empty, with nothing to spread combustion heat from the cylinder walls to the rest of the block, it engine can over heat quite quickly, especially when he rev'd it up.

[97Z71]

I understand exactly what you're saying. You don't understand what I'm saying. The 6bt Cummins Diesel engine doesn't have "water jackets" or "wet liners". I'll break it down in laymans terms so you can grasp what I'm saying; it has a parent bore, therefor it is a solid block with 6 big holes machined into it. No water jackets in this engine. All of the heat is being absorbed into the block and head. Water merely moves the heat to the radiator. Understand?

[amfan12]

EDIT: I'm sorry, I know the differenence between wet liners and parent bores. What I'm saying is that since the water jackets in the head and around the cylinders are empty, the portion of the cylinder bore that is not directly is not connected to the block can get very hot, since its not touching any other metal to wick the heat away.

[97Z71]

There are no water jackets in this engine. It has coolant ports in the head and through the block.

[tpvalley]

When idling heat still builds up, u cannot run an engine minus water.

Any part of the engine that has cooling water in it and is in the block is generally reffered to as a jacket, the cylinders will be surrounded by water whether as casting or wet liners etc.

It may run forever but it will get dam hot.

Theres a merc vid on here, revved to death with no water; it nipped up, but was fine when it cooled, but it cant have done any good!!!lol!

[76M880]

i idled a 6.2 for 6 minutes on the ground and it didnt hurt the engine

[tpvalley]

If u run it on the ground for a long time it will overheat without water, the heat has to go somewhere!

Short bursts r ok if thats what u mean?

[97Z71]

That's exactly what I mean.
