Common Questions
Before you buy
How do I get my guide after paying?
You'll be redirected to a download page immediately after checkout. We'll also email the download link to your address — save that email, it lets you re-download anytime.
What format are the guides?
PDF format. Works on any device — phone, tablet, laptop. Print it out and take it to the shop, or keep it open on your phone while you work.
Are these for beginners or experienced builders?
Both. The checklists and spec sheets are useful whether you're doing your first rebuild or your fiftieth — they're a reference, not a tutorial. If you need hand-holding through the process, a
consultation with Michael is a better fit.
What if I have questions after reading the guide?
My engine isn't listed. Can you still help?
More guides coming. For other engines — LA series, 383, 426, or anything Cummins outside the 5.9/6.7 — reach out directly or book a consultation. Michael works on a wide range beyond what's in the guides.
