Prepare the engine block
- Before bolting on the adapter plate, remove material from the engine block where shown.
Caution: Do NOT cut into the threaded bore.
- Clean the block contact area down to bare metal. The starter grounds through the adapter plate.
- Make sure the Cummins® dowel sleeves are still in the block.
Install the adapter plate
- Carefully align the adapter plate on the dowels in the engine block.
- Seat the plate fully against the block before installing the bolts.
Tip: Use a dead-blow hammer, or the handle of a regular hammer, to tap the plate on. - Apply thread locker and torque the M12-1.75 x 30 mm fasteners (qty 8) to 44 lb-ft.
Fit the starter
Use a 2003–2010 Ford® 6.0L/6.4L diesel starter.
- Always test fit the starter to make sure it does not touch the block.
- Verify that the bolts holding the starter together do not protrude past the machined mounting surface.
Install the crankshaft spacer and flywheel
- Install the crankshaft spacer on the end of the crankshaft.
- Before bolting the flywheel to the engine, check the pilot bearing diameter and the transmission input shaft.
- Apply thread locker and tighten the M12-1.25 x 50 mm flywheel bolts (qty 8) in the sequence shown to 95 lb-ft.
Note: The clutch alignment tool must match the inside diameter of the pilot bearing.
