Cummins 6BT Engine Flipping Sump & Fix Killer Dowel Pin | Franna Crane Project | Part 33

Dropping a Cummins 6BT into a Franna crane won’t be a straight bolt-in — in this video we’ll show what needs to change to make it work. We’ll flip the oil sump to clear the drive shaft, which means we’ll also move and shorten the oil pick up with some TIG welding, and relocate the dipstick. We’ll fix the infamous killer dowel pin before it can wreck the motor and use a part we salvaged from the injector pump out of the old Perkins engine that came out of the crane. On top of that, we’ll replace the timing cover studs for the aftermarket air compressor and take care of anything else that needs attention along the way. This is all part of the process when you fit a new engine into an old machine, and every step will bring us closer to seeing this crane back in action with its new Cummins power! 💪 👀 Watch ALL the Franna Crane Project videos here!: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUzFN5xVei7UatVhlxlw3576rgwg2RTXf Join our channel: We upload new videos every Friday at 5pm AEST!
