Disconnect the fuel system and spin the engine with the starter until oil pressure reads or oil comes out of the rocker arms on cylinder #6 — never run the starter more than 10 seconds at a time. Once oil pressure is verified, start the engine and run it to operating temperature, then shut it down. A hot re-torque is very important and will change valve lash, so set lash last: .010″ intake \/ .020″ exhaust. Poor lubrication at initial start-up is what lets a cam eat its way through the block on the last 3 cylinders — assembly lube and oil pressure on start-up are a big deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFits These Models\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1998.5–2018 Dodge\/Ram 2500\/3500 5.9L\/6.7L Cummins 24V\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 response with big HP and RPM potential\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e103 lb springs\u003c\/strong\u003e – Valvetrain control to 4500rpm and 80lbs of boost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeavy-duty pushrods\u003c\/strong\u003e – Rated well over 3,000hp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.45″ tappets\u003c\/strong\u003e – More surface area\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 Use a 15W-40 (or 5W-40 in sub-zero conditions) with adequate zinc, phosphorus and molybdenum.
