With the fuel system disconnected, crank on the starter — no more than 10 seconds at a time — until oil pressure reads or oil is coming out of the rocker arms on cylinder #6. Then start it, run to operating temperature and shut down. Do the hot re-torque (it changes lash), then set valves last at .010″ intake \/ .020″ exhaust. Loose lash on the last 3 cylinders comes from poor lubrication at initial start-up; use assembly lube and confirm oil pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFits These Models\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1989–1998 Dodge\/Ram 2500\/3500 5.9L Cummins 12V\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Features at a Glance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e178\/208 grind\u003c\/strong\u003e – Low-RPM torque and quick spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e155 lb springs\u003c\/strong\u003e – 4500rpm \/ 80lbs boost control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtreme duty pushrods\u003c\/strong\u003e – Over 2,000hp rated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetainers \u0026amp; locks included\u003c\/strong\u003e – Complete spring package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEPA compliant\u003c\/strong\u003e – 49-state legal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNotes\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproved oil required.\u003c\/strong\u003e Run a 15W-40 (or 5W-40 in sub-zero conditions) with adequate zinc, phosphorus and molybdenum; thin or low-additive oils lack the shear strength a flat tappet needs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved: Valvoline Full Synthetic 15W-40, Valvoline Synthetic Blend 15W-40, Valvoline All-Terrain 15W-40, Schaeffer’s 15W-40, Mobil Delvac Extreme 15W-40, LIQUI MOLY Touring High Tech 15W-40, Driven Racing Oil 15W-40, Redline 15W-40.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcceptable: Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic 15W-40, Shell Rotella T5 15W-40.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreferred filter: Fleetguard Stratapore LF16035.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRunning a non-approved oil voids the warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e Warranty claims must include the failed parts and an oil sample.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSKU: 07-CC-12V178\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eQuestions?
