Ok, so I haven't updated this thing in forever. I haven't done anything either, so there. However, it wasn't up to date when things got busy here.
Due to Jay's prodding, here is a progress report.
Like everything else I touch, I can't leave anything well enough alone. The amount of sludge on the exterior of the motor had me concerned, so I stripped it down.
A paper copy of the Cummins manual is around $150. After a bit of digging, I found a huge PDF of the thing online and downloaded it. It is like 500 pages and is detailed but easy to follow for the most part. Armed with a few nights worth of reading, I tore into the engine and now it is scattered in a thousand pieces on my work bench, on the floor, and across the garage...
The 4btswaps forum has been a valuable resource, but I haven't found anything on there detailing a tear down and rebuild of these engines. For those that care, my thread there can be found here:

But, here are a few pics of the teardown.
