D6 probs

[@EdgarLuisCosta]

I'm following that repair Mr. Cunningham.

[@Fatamus]

Ha ha 🤣😂I need to look at some other stuff🤣😂 The thing about the old stuff is the more the more stuff you look at the more stuff you find. A case of the all-overs.😁 Thanks for the video and time👍😎

[@Digginok]

Yup! Well said. Thanks for watching

[@ytlovey1758]

Hey! Im new to this channel and I was just watching you mess around with the d6 trying to get it started and moving but at 12:23 you drove over this homemade bridge it looks like that was covering a hole in the ground. Do you have a video explaining how you made it? I would like to know since I have a caterpillar d2 and I want to move it into my barn from the side but there is a hole in the dirt floor for a well that is no longer in use and I think that homemade bridge might be able to solve my problems to get it into the barn!

Sounds real bad Frank like something major best of luck on finding the problem 🦘

[@dirtguy6537]

Keeping old iron alive good job Frank.

[@Digginok]

This one may get the best of me!

[@georgeenriquez612]

Nice hat Frank👍🏻

[@alexosborne5629]

Solving one problem at a time, and find three more ! You seem to know what you are doing, keep on spannering, Frank !

[@Digginok]

Seems sometimes I’m solving problems that didn’t need it! 😂

You Done Good Nice Touch Will The Anderson Hat

[@Digginok]

My thinking cap!

[@corywillbanks6348]

5:34 it could be there was some rust under the valves when you set the lash the first time and now that you’ve run it a bit the rust has come off and tightened the lash up.

You'll be a certified CAT Tech in No time Frank! I think the exhaust actually sounded better after the valve adj. And I can hear the knock better for some reason. Could be injector. I'm sure you'll tell us. TGP

[@Digginok]

Not likely! 😂 yeah the knock got worse with a working injector? 🤔 you know what is next.

[@CaptKirk1701]

If that thing has dry sleeves you could have a sleeve jumping up and down?

[@thebegrsshow]

Frank, I hate to tell you that I don't think it's as simple as just an injector. Normally when an injector causes over fueling enough to make it knock, you will see excess smoke in puffs and sometimes even smoke rings. Those old D-6's had two piece pistons that were notorious for separating, and caused a knock. When you take the fuel away from the cylinder the knock would stop, the same way a bad injector would because there's no combustion on that cylinder. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am without the tell tale smoke signals.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

How do you plug ECM scanner in? How you diagnose problems? That knock sounds heavy .. Careful. Maybe piston cracked wrist pin . Sounds like one dead cylinder. Nice you restore ole Cat. Excellent channel Thank you 👍

[@Digginok]

Have not found the Bluetooth connection yet. Please advise? 😂 it is a bad knock.

[@nickhill3362]

Is the the gause mesh above the oil bath in the air filter clocked Frank mybe a lack of air isn't helping things

[@richardphelan8414]

Area diesel service ,they service Pumps ,injectors ,and turbos, did you try swapping injectors with a known good one ,if anything working it it sounds worse

[@adriannettlefold9084]

Valve clearances.. Is there anyway to know how much gap if you don't have any info on the motor and how can you workout firing order? I just took a spanner to the dragline to do my first oil service and discovered that I can't get the old style filter. Luckily, a mate has come to the rescue and made an adaptor for a new spin on filter. Fingers crossed it will go straight on and Bob your uncle.

[@Digginok]

These are set at .010 inch hot, Most newer diesel engines run a cold set of ,011 intake.023 exhaust. A good way to make sure they are good is with a hot setting, with the engine hot they should have some clearance. What engine are you working on?

[@Digginok]

Most all six cylinder engines have the same firing order. 153624. Valve length grows with heat so the clearance will decrease.

[@adriannettlefold9084]

@@Digginok I'm not touching anything just yet. I haven't ever pulled any engines apart to work on them. Just doing a service on my Ruston Hornsby 6YDA MKII air cooled 6cyl diesel. (Indian built) I believe it has white metal bearings that's the level of the technology.

[@Digginok]

@@adriannettlefold9084I just sent an email to ya, maybe your engine manual?

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

See your buddy keeping an eye on you 😂

[@Digginok]

Yeah he is keeping me busy daily, picking up the latest thing he pulled out of the garage and shredded!

[@charlesscott1493]

Making progress.

[@Digginok]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@gradyyokeley9930]

Your rack is out of adjustment pull the side cover and see if the injectors are closeing

[@Digginok]

As near as I can tell they are right, but I can check again. It is odd that it won’t shut down with the lever. They are all on the timing marks, could it be in the governor housing? I can push the rack by hand and shut it down.

[@malcolmyarnold6172]

Hi mate love watching you work on the old d 6 looking forward to seeing more of you work on the old girl keep up the good work
