Picked up new 4” v band clamps for my Dow pipe and 45 on the turbo. lol, neither fit. Princess auto and green line have zero v bands. Tried Lordco and they have none that big. Cummins dealer had nothing in stock but could order. Does anyone know the v bands clamp size for; Downpipe to 45 fitting size And Turbo cartridge to 45 fitting size Both are not the same as I found out the hard way. Also, where can I get it? Thanks !

I am unsure if I can reuse my rocker arms but they are not cheap these days so I was hoping someone could chime in and tell me if these need to be replaced, need to go to a machine shop if I can find one that knows what they are doing, or if they looks good to go. They feel smooth and slide on and off no problem. This is my first rebuild on this project 96 12 valve. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Well the only good parts of the 2006 truck I have it cracked now. 🤦‍♂️

Currently I don’t have either one, I was going to run VE as it seems like it’s cheaper. I don’t have injectors or injector lines anyway, so either one makes sense. I can get a timing cover for 100$, but I do like the automatic fuel advance on VE pump. I’m running non-IC reentrant pistons and it’s a low HP build. Aftermarket VE, fake Cummins VE, or aftermarket P?
