reman rods with oem piston/liners-no heads or cam.

I did not read through all the pages of posts but will share this. Komatsu made a deal with Cummins. An old track hoe had a Komatsu Cummins 220 as best I recall. The crank was bad and the owner had a Freightliner with a big cam 350. There was something different at the back of the camshaft to housing seal? Also had to grind out something for the after cooler line to clear.

It gets even more complex on the Komatsu front.
"In 1993, Komatsu formed two joint ventures with Cummins; Komatsu-Cummins Engine Corporation (KCEC) to manufacture Cummins engines in Japan, and the Cummins-Komatsu Engine Corporation (CKEC) to manufacture Komatsu engines in the United States".
Each JV company had the first-mentioned company as the 51% majority shareholder. So Komatsu controlled Komatsu-Cummins, and Cummins controlled Cummins-Komatsu.
From what I can recall, the Komatsu-Cummins engines used the Japanese-licenced Bosch inline pump fuel injection system (Diesel Kiki), instead of the Cummins PT fuel system.

Not to drift this awesome thread too far, but OzDozer makes a good point about the weird Cummins colab with Komatsu. I remember working on those strange engines during my short Komatsu career.

I’ve had 3 Johnson outboard engines that may have run at some point but I’ll be damned if I could keep them running. paddled every one of them home. Never hated something so much in my life.

I have to agree with the swap plan. Other than the mechanic, 99% wont' know a Cummins 220 from from a BC4 if it was set in their lap.

Johnson Outboards are built by that other boat engine company that produced the----
Salt Water Chevy.--It's good to hear some hate and discontent over a mechanical item.

If you have 1 Johnson outboard and you have to paddle it, why did you get 2 more
