It depends on the year. If it is the older 12 valve usually the pump timing is adavanced way too far or the fuel plate in the govenor housing has been modified. Too much fuel not enough air. If it is the common rail i have had several trucks that have just had faulty injectors that will dribble fuel creating extremely high egts. The vp44 pump equipped cummins i have not seen a lot of problems out of because the injectors were full mechanical and the pump was marginal at best. They were not capable in stick trim of overfueling. Cummins did change the piston design in the last few years and started beveling the edge of the combustion bowl because the lip that used to protrude could crack over time. This is also true of the 7.3 powerstroke and Isuzu 4he1 engines. Remember if you are adding extra fuel keep an eye on your exhaust gas temps and back sure your fuel system and turbo are up to the task.

How is a gasoline engine different from a diesel engine?
A gas engine ignites gasoline in the piston chamber with a spark from a spark plug. The expanding gas then pushes the piston out and the motor moves forward. A diesel engine uses diesel fuel, different from gasoline, and the fuel is compressed by the piston until it ignites, sending the piston out. There are no spark plugs in a a diesel engine. Some diesel engines will have "glow plugs" which are used to initially start the engine but once started, compressing the fuel is the method of ignition.
What are the different types of piston engine according to cylinder head classification?
diesel engine
What is the difference in a diesel engine piston and a gas engine piston?
Currently, diesel engine pistons are typically made of steel - aluminum was used previously, as it had better heat sink properties, but metallurgy has improved steel enough to the point where it holds up fine now. The highest ring on current production diesel engines is at the top of the piston now - this was in response to emissions requirement. Gas engine pistons are flat at the top, as it is a spark which ignites the fuel/air mixture; diesel engine pistons often have the 'Mexican hat' at the top of the piston, as they ignite through compression.
Doe's a 5.9 cummins have piston liners?
Hi 5.9 cummins diesels do not have piston liners. They have to be bored out and have over sized pistons installed. Chris
What can cause diesel fuel to mix with engine oil in a mack truck?
Worn piston rings.
What would make a piston shoot through your engine?
Most likely there was a lubrication failure resulting in an increase in friction causing a catastrophic failure within the engine . The piston , the piston rings , the wrist-pin , or a bearing failure not receiving enough lubrication caused a piston to exit the block . Metal on metal = a thrown rod which is connected to the piston and the connecting rod is connected to both the piston through a wrist-pin and connecting rod connected to the crankshaft . See video tutorial below .
What are the reasons for decreasing mobil oil in diesel engine?
Because of Ring burnt, engine heat-up or loose piston in sleave.
What does a komatsu 6D125 engine mean?
It means that it is a six cylinder naturally-aspirated diesel engine with 125 mm piston bore
Ever hear of a new 2006 5.9 ltr Cummins Diesel engine being replace by Chrysler They said the engine was manufactured wrong. Cylinder Oiler was installed wrong?
While I haven't heard of that specifically, a improperly installed piston oil squirter could cause severe cylinder damage from lack of oil.
What is function of a piston in a diesel engine?
The piston has the same function whether diesel or petrol. The piston is forced down the cylinder when the petrol mixture ignites and expands. That in turn presses on the connecting rod which in turn pushes on the crankshaft. The crankshaft changes the up and down movement of the piston into a rotational movement which makes the car go.
How is a diesel engine different from other internal combustion engines?
Its a compression engine, as opposed to a spark driven combustion. No spark plugs! To start the engine, the piston is forced up (by a starter), it compresses the (heated) fuel in the piston which then ignites (under pressure) forcing the piston back down and initiating the engine to turn over.
What happens when liner is broken in a diesel engine?
depending on if the engine has been ran for long after the liner broke, it can normally be replaced, depending on the damage you may need new piston, valves piston rings etc
