#1. ?? Never seen this thing. It's not for the intake horn
#2. ?? Seems to go with #1. It fits in the groove of #1 quite nicely
#3. Bottom of fuel filter right?
#4. Fuel filter o-ring?
#5. Thermostat housing
#6. ?? Never seen these things before...
#7. O-rings for valve cover bolts I think.



EDIT:
lol fixed, had the VE front seal pic there by accident.

 

#1: Is a turbo gasket. I think some motors within that serial number range had turbos with different turbine housing outlets. IIRC, my invoice for the upper engine gasket kit described it as just a "turbocharger connection."

#2: Fuel heater gasket. Goes between the fuel heater and the head. If you've deleted the fuel heater, this one won't serve a purpose for you. If you still have the heater, it'll definitely serve you.

#3: I believe might be the oil fill cap gasket? It's not at the bottom of the fuel filter because the WIF sensor seals with an o-ring.

#4: Not a fuel filter o-ring but I don't know what it goes on.

#5: Thermostat seal.

#6 & #7: Valve cover bolt seals. I think some industrial motors used the thicker ones as some of the valve covers had a recess in the tops of them. The o-rings are the ones you'll use.

 

good info.

Good call on #3, that makes sense.

I kinda thought #6 had something to do with the valve covers but hadn't seen them before so I wasn't sure.

I've never noticed a fuel heater on my truck, not gonna lie... I'll have to go out and look tomorrow. What does it even look like? All I ever noticed was the lift pump to fuel filter to IP.

 

The fuel heater will be directly above the fuel filter. There should be a 2-wire harness plugged into it. The spud you thread the fuel filter onto is what holds the heater to the head.

 

hm good to know!

 

That kit will not have the right valve seals in it. My cummins dealer exchanged for the right seals with the ones that came in the kit free of charge even paid overnight rush shipping from the right coast for me.

 

The way most find out about the fuel-heater is when they replace a fuel-filter and it starts pouring fuel off the sides of the new filter.

They try tightening the filter --- still pouring a leak.

They remove and inspect for a filter-seal and make certain the old seal didn't stay stuck to the head, carefully replace the new filter, snug it up, and fuel is still a'pourin'.

At this point, they decide the new filter is somehow at fault; so, they either send the wife back to town after another new one --- a different brand this time, or screw back on the old one; still leaking.


Then, they get on here and explain their situation and those of us who have already gone through that mess intelligently inform them about the heater like we knew about it all along.

 

haha well wouldnt that be a doozy!

 

If you've ever seen a 4bt, that 1st gasket looks like it would work on it's crossover pipe. Probably some industrial style 6bts had something similar

 

I found out tonight #4 is the o-ring for the flange from the turbo to that 90* elbow thing before the intercooler pipe.

 

Good to know! I still have the misc. unused pieces from when I bought the kit.

 

yeah I was cleaning my elbow and saw the o-ring and instantly went "HeY! that's what the orange o-ring is for!!" and then I went and checked just to be sure, and sure enough...

 

How can i tell if my kit has the right valve seals??
