So this has been on going and it’s took forever to get the inframe kit, but it’s finally here, from none other than Alaska. Said to have been the closest cpl 160, to be had. Actually got it through peterbilt. Pump and nozzles are built. Timing of the cam on the gear is set and now I’m wanting the heads checked, done, rebuilt,..... . Do any specific changes need be done, when going from CPL 217 to 160? Gonna put jakes on this engine too, providing W923, still has a set and willing to part with them.
Small cam Cummins build

Any changes to the heads specifically(valves, springs,...) when going from cpl 217(290) to cpl 160(small cam 350)?

No Sir.
When the big cams came out the head bolts were also longer. The small cams were more inclined to break head bolts as HP went up. There are inspection guide lines for reusing head bolts but best to replace them all in this case. -
