Cummins N14 Engine

Cummins N14 Engines For Sale

The Cummins N14 is an inline six-cylinder engine offering 310 – 525 hp. The original N-14 was designed in the late 80’s and produced in 1991. The N-14 took the wheel from the 855 Big Cam that was manufactured from 1976 – 1985.

The demand for a bigger engine with the same bore, stroke, and similar design as the 855 was wished for by many, and the N14 was Cummins’s reply. The main difference between the two is the cooling system. The N14 reportedly had some problems with injectors but makes up for its small imperfection because it can get the job done, its powerful, easy to maintain, and will undoubtedly last a long time. An added bonus is that the N14 is also part of the “1000,000-mile club”.

Remanufacturing Process

A remanufactured N14 long block is a perfect replacement for someone who has experienced catastrophic internal engine failure but still has good re-useable external components that may still be of use from their old motor. Long blocks are also a good alternative when trying to cut down on costs in the pursuit of a new engine.

Our team of machinists and engine builders come to do a full core tear down, cleaning, inspection, and machining of the engine before it leaves our facility to ensure perfection each and every time.

However, it is important to mention that all of our Cummins N14 remanufactured long blocks are constructed with a combination of both reman and new parts. We do not recondition or refurbish old engine parts but rather completely rebuild the old N14 motor back to OEM specs.

Thorough Cleaning

Every Cummins N14 engine is completely stripped. Blocks, heads, rods, crankshafts and camshafts are carefully cleaned in a chemical jet wash or hot tank to remove all impurities that could facilitate both early component and engine failure.

Crankshafts

Crankshafts are precision machined to exact tolerances, polished & magnafluxed, then thoroughly inspected by our quality control department.

Cylinder Heads

Heads are resurfaced to guarantee a proper sealing surface with the block and a finish compatible with today's new gasket materials. Valve height is mic-d and every head is vacuum tested to assure correct valve seating.

Cylinder Blocks

Regarding the blocks, we use magnetic particle to inspect for both cracks and imperfections. Cylinders are bored and honed and inspected to precise tolerances. On certain n14 engines, torque plate honing is performed to eliminate the possibility of cylinder head distortion after the head has been bolted and torqued to the block.  This process eliminates a major cause of engine blow-by. Block surfaces of the are machined and then inspected to ensure proper finish.

Camshafts

Camshafts are inspected and precisely machined to provide correct lift. Lobs are measured with a micrometer to make sure OEM tolerances are met.

Connecting Rods

Connecting rods are cleaned, then machined to O.E.M. specifications and honed to the standard diameter of original equipment for even distribution of stress on the bearings. New bushings are fitted and machined in all bushed rods. Every rod is carefully inspected for bend and twist.

New N14 Parts

Our N-14 long block engines receive a standard set of new parts such as pistons and rings, bearings, gaskets and seals, liners. New parts assure dependable performance and reliability throughout the life of your engine. The new parts are a combination of OEM and Aftermarket when available.
