3116 cylinder head

Finishing up the Western Star clutch job and starting in on the 3116 cat engine head job.

I think you were meant to teach exactly as you are doing it presently. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us strangers. You are a rare gentleman.

[@calumanderson5617]

Good honest people like you Warren will always tell the truth and you one of them, I've dealt with too many liars in my time and have zero tolerance for them, thanks for your excellent video.

[@oldfarmer4700]

That's the trouble in the world today it's not how hard you work and how honest you are it's how well you can lie. Just like warren said about politicians just a bunch of liers. It's really sickening to even turn on the TV anymore cause all the liers in there. Rather watch KZbin videos like this.

[@basshunter4144]

couch or shade mechanic. warren if they dont like it and want to leave their lost you do what you do many of us will be here to watch because of your charming personally

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

It's always something as I say. It happens to me too. Thanks for the video!!

[@billdornan4379]

That must be it…..your charming personality!! Kindest regards 🇨🇦💕

[@texasgilley9533]

Love the videos buddy👍😎

[@lucashenry9734]

I like useing Diesel for my ballhone

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

The end of the video screwed up. Somehow the voice over track got moved over too far so the end is kind of weird. Sorry, was in a hurry to leave and go work on a Dd15 Detroit and messed up.

[@brianrutherford3229]

Hey no sweat.we all make mistakes. You need a person to just go your filming. Wish I was closer might talk to you about the job.

[@phillipchurch1851]

It's all good nobody's perfect

[@FB-tq5ln]

Warren not good enough Hahah, enjoy your video's. Love the amount of irons in your fire. It all comes together in the end with a pay cheque.

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

@@FB-tq5ln I sure hope it comes with a pay check. Lol

[@TheDude666dude666]

All good mate. Have noticed the mic cord might be on the way out sometimes it cuts out when its moved. You'll get it, keep on making youtube gold!

[@TheWwong]

Warren, Your incredible good looks and sparkling personality are only exceeded by your work ethic and integrity. You are a rare bird indeed and I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your work with us.

[@YXCattle]

There’s not a damn thing wrong with your personality, Warren. Some people are just plain stupid. You are a good man. Keep doing what you’re doing.👍👍

[@markreetz1001]

You may not have been able to hook up with a decent company because they figured out you avoid taking shortcuts and try to satisfy the customer. A lot of shops want the mechanic to satisfy the boss. Good work Warren. Keep it going!

[@3PumpChumper]

Flat rate pay system sometimes puts the technician in a comprised position. Upsell a questionably needed service and that 1.2 hour job you have to bust hump at to break even becomes a 3.1 hour gravy job. I could see young Warren telling a service advisor and service manager to piss up a rope. Maybe not that nicely, lol.

[@parttimefarmer2359]

Thanks for being a normal person that does not need BS to impress. You are a true leader in your profession. Hope your hardwork and work ethic rubs off on whoever watching you. You are a great teacher. Cheers!

[@johnmuir1721]

New to you channel but i think it's great. I did similar work to yourself but through injury i can't do the tools anymore and a large part of what made me tick is gone for good. Your videos are what i turn to to get the feel good factor for many reasons, maunly in your honesty, in how regardless i live over the pond, the trials and tribulation of being a mechanic are very common and your videos for me are the perfect length of time, thank you very much for putting some normality into my life. Keep up with your efforts, all the best

[@gregbird6615]

Everyone should own a business at least once. You seem like you do things the correct and honest way

[@angrybill]

I had my own shop, much like you have, back in the 80's. I really feel your pain. After 6 years I looked at the money I made and decided that I would be better off as an employee rather than an owner. I ended up working as a plant operator at a nuclear power plant. Best decision I ever made in my life. That said I love your videos. Keep up the good work. My impression of you is that you are an honest guy whop can be trusted.

[@dont9098]

Hi Warren, Your Honest, Say what you think, an Excellent mechanic with an unbelievable work ethic !!! Just ignore the knockers, until they have had their own business and understand what it takes to succeed in small business and build a reputation like you obviously have, they are full of Sh-t It is both a pleasure and an education to watch you Sir

[@georgephillips6520]

Warren I liked your story on the injection pump. I took a hydraulic pump to a reputable shop to rebuild. I took it there 3 times for them to repair but they never got it to stop leaking on the front seal. I never got reimbursement for a very lot of money I paid them. I geuss I was at fault for trusting them.

[@anthonyhogue2486]

I've been watching your vids for several weeks now. Can't tell you how inspired I am by your work ethic. It's amazing how you keep such a rigorous schedule and still have time for your own stuff. Very happy to subscribe. I enjoy your humor and whit immensely.

[@chrisfisher8877]

I have a 98 C6500 with a 3116 Cat and I can not figure out why it is overheating sometimes. It will do it more when warmer outside but usually on when It is under load. Has new waterpump and thermostat. Any ideas on what to check? Thank you

[@j.c.smithprojects]

i understand that warren can only advise the customer as to what should be done to this engine and it isnt his decision to make. i only work on my own trucks and equipment so i am saying what i would do if it were mine. i like to know the condition of the entire engine before it goes back together. i would like to tear down (or at least partially) and inspect the piston and rings on #6. as well as maybe a couple others. drop the pan and check the bearings. that engine was extremely hot and so was the oil. i would be worried about broken or damaged pistons and rings, burning oil, out of round cylinder, and damage to the lower end due to extremely hot thin oil. i would want to send the head out for a valve job. since the head is already off, the bulk of the labor is already being done. again, i understand warren can only suggest what he thinks should be done. it is the customer's decision as to how far he goes. it is tough when your hands are tied by the owners decision.

[@Northern_Farmer]

My 3116 has never run right since I got it... Today I was hauling dirt and it just started running rough.. smoking like crazy and and no power... always something with it..

[@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353]

Sounds like an injector or a air fuel ratio problem.

[@chenderson4969]

Hats off to the blokes who go out on their own, I shit myself working on equipment I’ve not worked on before and feel as though I don’t know enough to be going out to clients fixing their gear, I’ve never stayed at a place long enough to really get it all dialed in but I guess you can apply the basics and work through the issues. Be a long time before I’m comfortable enough to work for myself

[@franks.1373]

To those looking on Rumble search in channels and it pops right up. Great work and opinions Warren. Thanks for sharing!

[@nickpersenaire4443]

Hey Bud, unfortunately I've had multiple Milwaukee cordless drills and all of their chuck's are junk. Although gen 3 seems to be much better than previous models. Thanks for sharing Warren keep up the great work.

[@imysteryman]

hey Warren I just wanted to make sure you knew about www.herculesus.com/ for seals for hydraulic cylinders. They are pretty easy to get a catalog from you might care to check them out. Knowing a good source to get parts quick from can help out a bunch sometimes. Cheers

[@patrickthomas6170]

Cordless chuck on makita - crank it tight ,back it off a hair and it locks the chuck to keep from loosening. Also with other brands too! Not an expert here just a KZbin student

[@Mikkel-Hansen]

Yep, tighten it fully then reverse slightly until you hear one click. This locks it, as Patrick says. Probably the same on Milwaukee drills.

[@timcondren72]

Warren when you hone the cylinders do you take the ball hone all the way down to the top of the piston or stop before it touches them?

[@doughboy1966]

If that’s a 3116 Cat like in a C6500 GMC Cat they were gutless in every wrecker I ever operated.

[@Northern_Farmer]

They come in different Horsepower variations.... but thats like mine in my GMC topkick... its runs like shit and pretty gutless...

[@jeanveilleux1153]

Worked with lots of heavy equipment since childhood. Machines wear out but if well maintained they last a long time. Wherever I worked, the field or shop mechanic was the key to productivity vs downtime. Mechanics like you kept many jobbers in the black. Worth every penny. Love to watch you honestly run a business and earn a living. Thx for all the efforts on the vids.

[@stevelambert7496]

Thank you very interesting. I always learn something watching you.

[@1425race]

Your videos make me laugh Warren from your clouds of diesel fumes filling the shop to your dodgy microphone and your oily rag to clean the lens but I love your interesting stories about life in rural USA and what shines through is your honesty, your hard work and your expert knowledge of big engines. It's these things that keep me watching all your videos - keep them coming.

[@reidkirkpatrick997]

Don’t worry about the snafu- it’s a part of life. Enjoy your videos- thanks!

[@urgentcareguy3]

I have to admit, I was not aware you could do a hone without the pistons out. Do you suction out the grit or?

[@hugmedeb]

Thanks for sharing...your videos are so interesting .... loves the stories ....

[@jeffsandler3339]

Back in the 80's I worked at a auto shop that also serviced big riggs. By watching your channel i have learned about diesel engines and other knowledge from you . What I'm saying is I'm a auto mechanic.. You do a nice job and are a hard work'n fella I appreciate the video's ..

With as many jobs as there are in your shop, you must be doing something right!! Communication is key for me. I've been waiting for 5 months on a new trailer they said would take 4 to 6 weeks. Each time I called they'd saw "let me call the manufacturer and I'll call you right back." Still waiting on that call....

[@leegenix]

*Sir, I think you got the right job. You're your own Boss and whatever happens are on your own terms, not a Tyrant or a boss that makes empty promises. Cheers(Eugene)*

[@thomasstewart9368]

Gosh - I hone out cylinders with the pistons in-em whenever the cause calls for it. Glazed cylinders need a little scratching 👍

[@paulhuber4862]

My dewalt drill has a locking chuck , what you do is spin tighten it like usual then you grab the chuck while it’s stopped and give it a little extra twist and you here a ratchet sound and that’s the chuck locking it’s been great , they might have similar after market chuck that you could buy and swap out yours

[@JeffreyStrader]

Mr. Warren Lane, you did a video 2 years ago where you split a mini Challenger 225. Did you make a second part showing the repair??...Ya left me hanging LOL

[@mlhrepairsllc6942]

Warren, the way it works for me is. Emergency repair, then road service, and then shop work. It's the most profitable way I have found. I tell my customers that from the get go. They understand that and sometimes the shop work just seems to sit.

[@wazza33racer]

if the pistons didnt grab..............shes good to go. Im with Warren..........christmas tree /ball hones are great. Easy to use and they do a great job............ Suprising that Cat engine is only a 2 valve head.

[@joriskylie6857]

To get oil out of the cooling system I take concentrated Simple Green and dump it into the cooling system and top off with water. Drain all of it and maybe do it one more time, flush with water. I've done it a number of times and you couldn't tell there was any oil in the cooling system. Simple Green makes the oil solvable. I should tell you I did this more than 20 years ago.

[@Scott-b9g3u]

Hey Warren that's what Dave in Utah was talking about with the number 6 hole open it up half thousand more and it will be fine, the # 6 bore expand a little bit that's where trouble starts ? Check out his video

[@ratherbeflying101]

The amount of work you get done is incrediable. Your basically by yourself for crying out loud...friggen amazing. On top of that your producing you tube videos. Anybody criticizing you has rocks in their head.

[@robertjull9851]

Thanks Warren for your insight on the way things work. Enjoy watching your videos. Wish I had a worker of your caliber near me here in northeast Ontario Canada. Robert Jull

[@sandy1653]

I've found that with most people, if you're up front with how long it's going to take they're perfectly happy to wait. My goal is to turn things around and get them back out to customers within 24 hours. And with a lot of stuff that comes through my shop that's perfectly doable, but some times it just isn't. But every so often you get that one togglehead who drops their computer off at 3PM and is calling you at 4.30 wondering if you've done anything with it and then get all huffy when they hear it hasn't been on the bench yet because there's other customers taking up all the spots.

[@robertoobregon3750]

Your a great guy Warren, have a lot of respect for any person making a go at having your own business. All I'm willing to do is rental property and been for 30 yrs. A service business like yours, I'm not brave enough. I just do this mechanical work on my own stuff. Really enjoy the content you provide. Set your self up with some type of Roth IRA. Be Blessed and enjoy life.

Hi Warren, when you hone the cylinders with the pistons in place how do you make sure the hone filings are out of the cyl? Or am I making a prob when none exists?.

[@tinkmarshino]

well.. this keeps us on our toes.. oh! your from K falls? Nice place.. But almost every time I went there as young tough I got into a fight.. Well so much for my idiot days.. haven't been back for 20 or more years now. But last time I was there I had a lot of fun with my wife and I.. (no kids).. carry on!

[@MrFlashx1]

Job looking good so far fyi it's best not to use the drill to tighten the chuck it's best to just get a good grasp and tighten by hand.

[@ronriehle1337]

Had a one man shop near our farm growing up. Yeah you had to wait for your stuff , but they did good work ! Otherwise they wouldn't have had much work and could have got at it sooner. I'll wait my turn for good work.

[@martinharper5112]

[@1waukesha]

Your an amazing dude Sir. I am a HD Mechanic by trade as well, but still love watching your videos there inspiring to me. Unbelievable about the story of the 7.3 oil cooler. Just shocking how crooked people can be. I worked with a guy who was a mechanic at a dealership and he told me when a pickup came in for a warranty head gasket job on a cummins, they would lift the head just enough to pull out the old one and put in a new one. No cleaning or nothing, just hammer it down and get it out the door. Unreal.

[@JDCTTR]

Speaking the truth here class is in session! Love ur work Warren

[@ko9446]

[@ryanhogan6509]

People tend to get the shocks of their lives when they own a business, from the fact your 30 year fixed mortgage has to be reevaluated every 5 years, and the bank can call in debt and change your intrest rates at that point, to having to pay unemployment out of every check yours and your employees then if anyone uses the insurance you as the business owner has to pay the moneys back too.. to the shear number of phone calls you must handle from “google” , and from “unsecured lenders” both trying to reel you in..... to the fact that employees just flat out do not care about anything but Friday afternoon!
