I've got to do a timing cover-block gasket replacement on a Cummins 5.9L next week.. 16 hour job for $1000.. a whole lot of stuff has to get torn out to get to it.. it's the worst gasket of all to do.. Joy joy!
Minor tuneup, lolHow about a Subaru 2.5 that is in for a minor tuneup...waiting on parts to show up and hopefully be back together and running by the weekend.

As long as you have a heated shop its minor.its minor....replacing the crank, pistons, and 1 rod.
my shop is 70* in the winter and 65* in the summer. If i cant afford to keep the shop comfortable when im working then its time to find a new businessAs long as you have a heated shop its minor.
I've had one that I bought used from a yard sale, kept it only briefly as neighbor wanted it. I think they are made in Italy. That's all I know about them.Alpina pro 55. Got it to pop after putting some mix in carb with eye dropper, then pull rope broke. Screws are stripped holding starter cover on. Do they make a tiny easy out or any suggestions on how to remove them? Also does anyone out there have an Alpina. I have never seen one besides mine in the U.S.A
Not quite, but close.Killer dowel pin. I believe it is the pin that locks the cam gear to the cam on an early model 12-valve Cummins 5.9 Liter Diesel Engine (Dodge Pickups). Those pins have a reputation for working their way out of the gear and as they begin to protrude from the gear hub they make contact with the cast aluminum timing cover causing breakage and catastrophic leakage of engine oil. Anyone who, for any reason, removes that cover is always strongly encouraged to remove that pin and replace it with an improved design fastener.
Thanks. I appreciate it. Not taking it apart now unless it's leaking LOL. But will make sure to use something thinner next time

Would have been major tune up if we has to do the head but someone else had recently done the heads. Apparently they didn't get the heads done quick enough though and the antifreeze had already worked it's magic on the bearings>that is in for a minor tuneup...
gosh! good thing it didn't need some serious stuff! like a Major Tunerup!!! what do you consider minor?... rings, bearings, pistons, cam, valve job and misc emissions and computer sensors?... just the small stuff?
