How To Rebuild A Diesel Engine. Part 2. Piston Packs, Mains, and Thrust Bearings. Twin Turbo Cat.

[@nunurbuisness5578]

I love content like this I've used KZbin and Google to learn to fix my vehicles and this sir is wonderful you are truly making the world a better place by this video now I'm not afraid to buy a semi truck and do a rebuild myself

[@alexruano331]

18 yr old Currently going to tech school and about to graduate. I love all your videos

[@AdeptApe]

+alex ruano Thanks for saying so, good luck starting out.

[@pospc2]

I don't own or work on diesel engines yet i watch your videos.

[@mathewkromeo2934]

Same. 😂

[@842qwery]

Thanks for keeping B.S out and getting to the point on these vids. I find them very educational. And yes, them dogs are spoiled!

[@vicrattlehead1243]

thanks for the great vids! makes me want to get into diesel mechanics even more

[@justencase1523]

Thanks I have never seen a fractured rod. interesting.

[@40yeartrucker25]

Very good. I wonder how meny miles on the clatterpiller. ?

[@coreyregier5546]

I'm doing engine tear-down and rebuild in my heavy equiment course so this is really helpful to watch bro. I used the heal bar method you used in the video since main bearing journal #4 on a 3126 doesn't have the oil port hole to stick a pin in, gently working it out. Then a classmate ran over to me in shock; "whoa what the hell are you doing?!... oh I guess that will work..." I figured that side of the bearing doesn't matter as much if it gets a few nicks in it however we are reusing the old bearings, lol. thanks for the video!

[@AdeptApe]

+Corey Regier If you are reusing the bearings the pry bar trick might not be the best then, just tell your cheap school to buy some new bearings already.

[@coreyregier5546]

I know its not the best, however in this situation we can get away with it since these engines only run a couple minutes after they are 'rebuilt'. We were also told to only torque fasteners 75% of spec, so we don't overstretch bolts, lol. Also one of our rods was bent when we took it out. Personally I'd love to throw a new rod, seals, gaskets main bearings and camshaft bearing at it but they don't have much money to throw around as you said. Thanks for your concern and I'll let you know if one blows up... to be continued.

[@AdeptApe]

+Corey Regier My first rebuild at school was like that, wasn't very well supervised either, the instructor let us put the engine together dry with no oil on the rotating assembly, guess what, it didn't rotate when it was all done. Oops.

[@coreyregier5546]

Well everyone got their engines running, one group had their injection pump timed wrong due to multiple timing marks on the pump gear and another group busted their injector lines on a Mac engine with EUP. Ours started after ten seconds of cranking and we had no leaks or issues. some white smoke due to the bent connecting rod/less compression we figured. Other than the bad rod it runs good. Your videos were really helpful while I was putting it together, thanks!

[@rajbahadur2162]

Good 👍 video brother

[@wysetech2000]

Well done, Josh. I used to hate replacing bearings that way. I always managed to get oil in my face , mouth and eyes and armpits. HaHaHa.

[@AdeptApe]

+wysetech2000 Armpits are the worst, I try to pull them then let it drain for hours. Then spray it out with solvent or brake clean.

[@wysetech2000]

Last one i did on my back i don't think they had brake cleaner. LoL.

[@jamesjohnson7266]

good idea using the bolt on two three five and six I never thought of that keep up the good work enjoy watching your videos I recently just got the same puller that you're using I prefer it over the old style where I had to remove the Piston out of the liner because when I had to put them in the core box I have to compress the Rings or break them off seems like it saves a step

[@AdeptApe]

+James Johnson I usually try to keep the pistons in the packs, but these I had to pull the rings off the pistons and remove them to get the puller out.

[@blakehughes435]

To remove the top bearing cup from a c15 I use a brake shoe lining rivet . Fits perfectly in the oil gallery and has a flat top Bit of a share :)

[@AdeptApe]

+Blake Hughes Thanks for the tip.

[@sameuljones5496]

Blake Hughes i use a split pin

[@edwinmartinez5530]

i graduate last year as a diesel tech we did dd 13 and Cummins​

[@KevinPaulineNeal]

Excellent!

[@nikolairomanov3160]

Just finished my c15 acert complete overhaul, it took me and mechanic 1 day installing main bearings. Each bearing was installed with a plastic gauge inspected then reinstalled. The long pipe was involved in the installation, the bolts were torque to 120lbs then turned 2 flats other term 60º. My legs were in pain lol.

[@AdeptApe]

+Nikolai Romanov I hate to be the bearer of bad news but 60 degrees is one flat not two, unless you are using a 12 point socket.

[@nikolairomanov3160]

Adept Ape, we followed 60º. Thank you. I feel power now, now is real CAT.

[@AdeptApe]

+Nikolai Romanov I'm glad you built it slowly and methodically it sounds like. We never use plasticgage and use a 3/4" impact to torque turn them on the C15 engines. Which isn't ideal, but we can't spend 16 man hours on the mains. It's different when it's your own rig though.

[@MrNahiku]

Where do find a liner puller that you have for the cat c13?

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Great work as always

[@edward9862]

Great video! Thx

[@amosthuo9724]

Am grateful for your videos.Quick question do cat c 7 accert engine block 2214479 have sleeves. Thank you

[@AdeptApe]

+Amos Thuo The C7 doesn't use liners. It is a parent bore engine just like a car gas engine.

[@aaronnitz7765]

Were do you get the pack puller and will it work on all truck engines

[@malcolmyoung7866]

You can really see the join on those 'broken' cast con rods when you are turning the crank shaft....If I saw that without this video I would have a heart attack..(not that I'm a deisel mechanic though) Great videos..

[@AdeptApe]

+Malcolm Young The fractured rods definitely look broken if you didn't know that it was purposefully designed like that.

[@nunurbuisness5578]

I could do this I've worked on cars since I was a teenager this really doesn't look that hard to me the most expensive part of this would be machining the cylinder head or in your case replacement.

[@mononovsar3981]

How to assembly piston and conrod c13 correctly?

[@bigfoot5045]

the top golden bearings that prevent the crank from moving, are those necessary to remove? would it take crank out of specs??

[@st_us]

just rock the crank forwards and backwards from the crank pulley. if the play is excessive just change them. normally they come with an original bearing set so why not change them as well.

[@bigfoot5045]

stilkus ok thanks

[@AdeptApe]

+Big Foot What stilkus said it's true. They usually don't wear much, but they are part of the bearing set and they are easy to change.

[@bigfoot5045]

Adept Ape Thanks 👍

[@AdeptApe]

+Big Foot Good timing on the rebuild with the video series, thanks for the donation.

[@simonleighty8171]

will you be timing the camshafts as well toward the end of this series?

[@AdeptApe]

+Simon Leighty From the looks of the Camshaft, it won't need replaced so far. Since it'll pass inspection I probably won't be removing it and timing it.

[@gaitonde6972]

Very good

[@00Blqze]

Nice vid series bro

[@AdeptApe]

+MrBlaz2 Thank you.

[@luisvelez5650]

Hello. Can you please tell me the head bolts torque for caterpillar c13?

[@eduardosantiago1879]

Hey man how much torque on the piston jests

[@st_us]

how come bearing bolts stink, I love the smell of burning oil in the threads. it's very unique.

[@AdeptApe]

+stilkus I really wonder why they do more than anything else such as head bolts or rod bolts. I hate that smell though kinda like gear oil.

[@Regal2800]

ya i agree, horrible smell.

[@عليحسن-ن7ص9د]

How are you.C13 engine How do I know the consumption of bearing rod connecting or at least know the permissible measurement

[@abdal-hadialhelu2292]

dear thanx for your vedios ,can you please post one about cummins m11c injector adjusment plz

[@MrRyanrk12]

Can the upper mains be removed the same on a 6nz thankyou

[@TrapperManJoe]

Lol the Lone Ranger music!

[@Regal2800]

Do you ever plastigauge the mains?

[@AdeptApe]

+Regal2800 Only if there is a suspected problem on a normal rebuild we don't.

[@soto.pelaez]

çan you make a video about single turbo conversion?

[@AdeptApe]

+Jose Soto I could, but I haven't done the conversion on a truck so it would be a lot of talking about the kits without any hands on experience.

[@charleslong6433]

I have a 1995 autocar that I put a head back on and for some reason number one cylinder exhaust push rod keeps bending only one that put the jake brake back on it's not plugged in or anything I pull the Jake back off I replace the push rod runs fine soon as I put the Jack back on tour Can't Back Down it bends just that pushrod why any ideas

[@cwj9202]

What is the engine?

[@charleslong6433]

3406b caterpillar I took a sea head off because it's the same non-electric and put it on head-to-head checked out and they said everything was good and that's the problem I've had this truck has been down because I've got cancer and I'm trying to keep everything in-house because medical bills are killing me this thing is just been down for like 7 months for me screwing with it

[@charleslong6433]

I watched a lot of the videos it helps me a lot but it always shows a head that's not exactly mine it's a 1995 3406b caterpillar with a Jake I always call somebody in to adjust the valves because my mind can't comprehend because of all the meds on how to set the valve clearance because it's not the identical head is mine any kind of help is highly appreciated you just don't know how much I appreciate it

[@cwj9202]

The problem could be an improperly adjusted jake brake causing that jake to be too "tight". Have you had the jake setting checked?

[@charleslong6433]

is there any way that you might be able to show on your videos or whoever this is talking um how to actually set the valves on that Jake because like I said I bring people in for some reason everything else runs right except for that one I don't have a problem with the back Jake for the rest of it just at number one and nothing is sticking because I checked the spring in the head and everything I've had it off twice now or if you'd like to whoever this is if you'd like to call me my cellular phone is 313-778-5332

[@christianperez1458]

Great video. C13 was my first ever Inframe took me forever. Even tho they are fairly simple.

[@AdeptApe]

+christian perez Was my first too, in a tour bus.

[@mr.george-pht]

This was a mistake I made on my detriot Rebuild. I should have removed those oil tubes before I pulled the piston and sleeve.

[@kimbascar9345]

You remove the piston together with its liner?

[@AdeptApe]

+Piggyboi Yes sir, it makes it faster although heavier and you never have to worry about a ring compressor.

[@kimbascar9345]

That make sense because when we install we put first the liner and then the piston

[@danwill8581]

Hey, why don't you pull the whole engine out of the truck for an overhaul?

[@albertarreola6543]

Why do you make marks

[@MrMax31kk]

crank shaft is not healthy like cummins diesel and con rod and liners are very good-

[@stevemazzarella9259]

I do it the same way

[@AdeptApe]

+Steve Mazzarella Smart man 😀

[@slingshot9150]

could not see the bearings worth a hoot when you said they look good. wish you would have wiped them off and showed better.

[@farmerman98]

Yes sir that oil sure does stink!

[@garyclarkii9801]

Helpful video's but I have to say dude, them dogs of yours are spoiled rotten, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AdeptApe]

+Gary ClarkII They aren't spoiled, my wife is telling at them all the time because they shed, but I try to treat them right. Plus they are internet stars after all the videos I make.

[@garyclarkii9801]

I have 2 Elkhounds and they shed year round, 10x worse in the spring so I hear ya bud, LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidandrews2742]
