K bomba idraulica yeba ese motor nesecita la serie

[@maidenlord6663]

It might be running on 5 or 6 cylinders considering it's a v8. And look at all the blowback coming out of the side of that motor wow I don't know why they gave each other a fist bump

[@Koontzy.]

You real fun person huh

[@slackalloy4914]

I think it’s funny how I search cat 3208 and the fist video I find is from a student who went to bates tech.

[@elljay4587]

I have 3 of these boat anchors, not one of caterpillars crowning achievements.

[@ScoutPL]

why'd it take you 3 to form an opinion?

[@amosikner1297]

lot of blow by...

[@manumaass5632]

too much blow by

[@mahatma171]

Makes you wonder what they did to the cylinder/pistons/rings....if anything.

[@wishusknight3009]

steam? there was no active cooling hooked up.

[@frazzledude]

@@manumaass5632 The description says that it is a rebuilt engine. A newly rebuilt engine will have blow by until the rings are seated against the cylinder walls.

[@frazzledude]

@@wishusknight3009 Very often whoever is testing a rebuilt engine will fill the block and heads up with water before starting the engine. That is probably what these guys did with this engine. It was running long enough that it came up to temperature and the water in the heads started boiling.
