I am trying to finish rebuilding my 2000 ISB 235 engine and still cannot find those darn steel piston cooling nozzles. I need my truck back on the road desparately and there is no way the plastic nozzles which contributed to the failure in first place are going back in. Please help!

 

Try a search on that topic. I remember a long thread on that with a guy that installed those nozzles. I can't remember the handle of the gentleman but a search should bring it up..

 

I'd suggest you try to retrofit the cooling nozzles from a brand new HPCR truck. Supposedly the are metal, and flow more oil.

That would be Thumper549.

 

Yeah, Thumper made his own, out of metal. I don't think he's on this board anymore though. I haven't seen a post from him in a while.

I pm'd him a while ago for some pics, never replied.

 

Here I am!!! 90.00 and there yours!........takes about a 1.5 hours to make them,steel is free......or I can tell you how to do it/have it done....sure the cost will be the same ,let me know...makes no diff to me

 

Thanks Thumper, I already had some made as I figured nobody probably sells them. I would not mind buying a set from you for my next engine in the future.

no problem...make sure they are a tight fit, mine were tight with dry ice keeping them cold!

 

Do you have a blue print or something? I dont need them now but it is good info to have if the need arises.

 

copy the plastic green ones in your gasket kit....you have to make a couple extra to get the size right as the o.d. will be diff. from plastic. Try 3/10 of 1000 to start with ...Thats the nu. thats comes to my lil brain.......and you do not have to put that shoulder on them ,its a extra step....not needed

 

Thanks!

 

update!!!! mabe misuderstood- there is a flange at the very top that needs to be there, or risk it going all the way thrue the hole like the plastic crap dose some times!
