N14 cummins putting the engine back together

Taking apart the N14 was a great experience. i got to learn a lot about how different systems work and how to find the right information needed to rebuild engines. For example, for Cummins its quick serve and reading all the N14 books. It was a lot of fun taking pistons out and turning the engine over to see the firing order. We did a lot of measurements to make sure everything is within specifications, which i will show in a picture down below. After that i started putting it back together and i was very thankful that when i dissembled the engine i bagged and tagged every bolt and part which made it a lot easier to reassemble the engine. I torqued everything to specifications by using the N14 book as well as adjusting the valve lash. Here are some pictures....

Pistons are out. 
There it shows one piston I pulled apart practicing how to do measurements. 
Connecting rod bushing that is definitely bad. 

I removed the cam shaft cover plate to measure the lobs 
Just a picture showing how I bagged everything to stay organized. 
I didn't really take very many pictures of putting everything back together because i got caught up in work but this picture is taken after putting the jakes back on. 
Finished project
All the measurements and the results.
