Kyle Redekopp from Dark Iron Diesel brought his 12 valve Cummins engine into our shop from Canada to have it machined and built into a full 6.1 stroker, and this video documents the entire diesel engine machining and assembly process from start to finish. If you are into Dodge diesel builds, Cummins engine machining, or professional automotive engine work, this one is for you.
We walk through the precision block prep work that a 12 valve Cummins needs to hold real horsepower, including boring, surfacing, and torque plate honing to hit the tight tolerances required for a reliable stroker build. From there we move into building the rotating assembly with a stroker crank, coated pistons, and Wagler rods, then get into cam selection and installation, oil system upgrades, and head assembly. Every step is aimed at getting this 12 valve Cummins ready for serious diesel performance.
Whether you are planning your own Cummins stroker build, working in car repair or automotive machining yourself, or just want to see what real diesel engine assembly looks like, this breakdown gives you a full look at the work that goes into a 12 valve Cummins stroker done right.
