My Scania Engine is Hurt BAD, Didn't See This Coming....

[@chrisatkinson8740]

Hi Bruce, I have been a diesel engineer for 45 years in Europe. Looking at the second cylinder, it definitely looks like it's been worked on. I would say that the sleeve seal has been installed incorrectly and is now your issue. Unfortunately, that means pulling the sleeve to change the seal. I'm glad you like our European trucks mate. I'm sure that given enough coverage on your side of the pond, more drivers will see the luxury and power of our trucks. Love your channel sir.

Hi Bruce. I'm an Senior technician at Scania in Sweden, don't have that much experience with the 14 L engine but renovated a bunch of 16 L. You want to remove the liners and check how your engine block looks, if you are lucky you will get away with new o-rings and maybe a pair of new liners. What you want to think about is the other cylinders, if you gona do this kind of work, think about removing and check the rest. And you don't have to machine the head, clean it and check for cracks.

[@LeeRigby-ki1fd]

In the Uk before you present your truck for it's yearly MOT (DOT) inspection you must steam clean the entire vehicle, if they deem it not clean enough they can refuse to test,you forfeit your fee and pay again when you rebook another test.

[@RobTheSquire]

I would have taken a picture before I steam cleaned the entire truck then another after, before I start taking bits off and also I would run the engine for 20-30 mins to help any oil find it's way out to help identify points of possible failure.

[@Z4N7]

It is not so surprising from Bruce. I don't know if you watched video where he decided to rip to shreds tires on red Scania. But anyways,melted rubber was sprayed all over the back of the cab and i bet they still didn't clean that thing until this day.

You don't need to machine the cylinder heads. It is enough to clean the surfaces well. And that block usually has to be machined to an oversized size if it leaks from that part, but I didn't see any terrible corrosion in the video at least. And one option could be that the cylinder sleeve is installed badly, so the o-ring is leaking from there, because it looks like someone has done something to that other cylinder. Edit. And be sure to check the block for cracks. I had one like this once. it was cracked, as I recall, at the cylinder bolt and it was leaking water. Hope you see this edit

I also thought that grinding over is not necessary. However, I'm not a car mechanic but a toolmaker, so I'm more careful with what I say. These are solid grey cast iron parts, which are also not long and large, and will never warp much. Scania has made a good design. Dry ice would certainly be ideal for cleaning. Afterwards, the parts would look like new.

[@railasvuo]

@@peterpan7903 I used to repair many Scania engines and the cylinder heads were never machined. I learned how to do these from a mechanic who had been at Scania for 40 years, and he never machined cylinder heads either. They were just cleaned properly with a machine that doesn't wear that surface much. I don't know their English names, but a small hand-held dremel or something like that

[@petereriksson4405]

There is weep holes in the block, one for each cylinder. If the sleeves have sunk down , is cracked or the o rings are bad you will have coolant leaking through the weep holes. Make sure the weep holes are clean, and look at them while the engine is running you will see what cylinder is leaking

[@PrzemekM25]

Only one poor mistake is needed on heavy duty things, to go wrong all too easily.

[@christopherhughes2087]

It will be the seals in the head gasket. the V8 is renowned for the seals going. I did some on a 143. Don't get the head machined, its not needed as the individual heads don't tend to become mis formed. It really looks like the one head has been off before, and make sure you follow the torque pattern when putting them back on.

[@brandonbritos7886]

Hi Christopher. Whats is the ideal pattern when you gonna put back the head?

[@SweIceMan]

Hi Bruce, Like others have said, and since you're planning to replace the engine altogheter, don't rush the overhaul on this engine. Take your time and do a deeper review & repair. I'm certain that with assistance from Ville and the guys at Ylivoimala, this engine will be back in tip top shape.

[@ontheroadagain4773]

I've worked with Scania for 15 years and did alot of motor repairs and never once machined a cylinder head. Just clean all surfaces that need new gaskets and you're fine. About that liner I would take it out and check it to be safe.

[@jameshaskell6572]

Bruce I work on a very similar German engine and it has the same problems with liner oring leaks. I know it’s a pain but if you go to Home Depot and grab some expander plugs and you can make a block off plate to pressurize the cooling system and spay soapy water on that liner to see if it leaks. I can tell you that unfortunately it’s never the head gasket for me but mine isn’t the same engine. I will say atleast you see how quickly you can get at it maybe just throw the head on it and see ,all your in it is some gaskets and a couple hrs. If it is the liner in all my cases the counter bore is never messed up and we just throw a new liner and orings in it and on ya go. The head gasket did look like the oring part that sealed coolant ripped and was stuck to your head.

[@fuelrail]

I think when you become a Scania owner, it's was the best thing you could do for the channel... Keep up your good work!

[@BadAndUgly]

Looks like there are grooves machined into the head to gasket in the liner area that are meant to keep the seal in place. Machining the head flat will remove them and it will probably keep blowing head gaskets after that.

[@fleimlehner]

what you want to do is pull the liners and on the inside where the top of the liner meets the block check for any corrosion. if the block is corroded down past 4cm of the top youll need to bore it and use oversized liners. if there isnt any corrosion renewing the liner and block orings should do fine to keep the engine from leaking. i would suggest doing all the orings if thats the case tho. it would be much easier to do them all now then to do one or two and come back in a years time to do more.

No, those liners are easily replaceable. If they are worn, just get a new liner, piston and seals and replace it...

Hi Bruce Scania’s don’t blow head gaskets if it’s leaking coolant from the heads it’s liner O’rings failure due to corrosion. Check the block for cracks where the liners seat as it’s common You might have to cut the block and go oversized liners if the corrosion is bad.

Tough one! Was all stoked to try and track one of these down and have since learned of the difficulties of acquiring one. Such a shame.

[@TechnikMeister2]

Of course, these trucks are designed for large commercial fleets where comprehensive maintenance schedules include engine programs with Scania. You bought this truck cheap and here in OZ we do engine rebuilds every million kms. These rebuilds cost $50k, but you basically get a new engine as part of the program. Its a one day turnaround. They are designed to work 18x7 with proper driver shifts. Then the maintenance costs are amortised in a matter of weeks. Well maintained, they will just keep going indefinitely with factory maintenance. However, it would not be financially viable for a private operator and certainly not a backyard workshop. Its like buying a plane and not keeping up the preventative maintenance.

[@karlskoga1234]

The the mat under the fender is there to reduce dust when driving.

[@krisa817]

Pull both liners og replace the seals but also check carefully for any corrosion where the seals sit. Both the liner and the block can corrode. You should also replace all of the rod bearings if you intend to keep the engine for some time, they are usually worn if they haven’t been replaced recently. Main bearings are usually ok. These are very simple and nice engines to work on 😃

[@globby480]

Also Bruce the dry parts you mention are just how the heads are shaped when on the block that's nothing to worry about Would still say liner seal.. and possibly liner dropped in the block !!!!

[@FxnBoats]

From what I can see the liners appearbto be sunken into the block. I have never built a scania but if this was a detroit we would be measuring liner protrusion and likely be cutting and shimming the block to make the liners stick out like they are supposed to be. Good luck man

[@railasvuo]

Well noted and well said. Actually, this kind of thing happens with Scania engines, and that's how they are repaired

[@FxnBoats]

@railasvuo thank you sir. It's a pretty common repair among all manufacturers. I've done the same on Cummins, Cat, Detroit, International, and a few other industrial engines. All part of having a floating sleeve. Even Mack engines with RTV in sleeves walk a little when making bigger power causing the surface that the liner sits on to degrade over time.

[@railasvuo]

@@FxnBoats Exactly. It's just hard for me to explain these sometimes when English is not my first language and it's been a few years since I worked at Scania. But I learned these things there from the mechanics who had been at Scania for 40 years. It was the best time of my life

[@kennethprocak5176]

When you complete the head lock down doesn’t it set the cylinder liner into correct position?

[@FxnBoats]

@kennethprocak5176 only if the liner is in the correct position in the block to begin with. Too far down and it won't crush the head gasket properly. Too far up and it will hold the head up off the deck surface. When you rebuild most big diesel engines you use a sled guage to measure how far the liners stick up out of the block to ensure proper sealing against the head surface.

[@welovecars6607]

Yeah I’ve been into Scanias for 30 year and drove a 143 500 bull nose 1993 when they were the latest thing so I’m enjoying your videos on the v8s .. spot on job your doing

The matting as you call it inside the mudguard, if you didn't know, it is to prevent water spray hitting other vehicles, during heavy rain periods. It is a legal requirement in Europe UK and Eire to have these fitted reducing the mist that covers 6 to 10 wide lane motorways operating at 70 mph.

[@globby480]

Bruce .. would say its a,liner seal.. but also check the liner hasn't dropped aswell... With your brake discs & pads aswell. You maybe lucky to pull the alloy bearing cover off .use a caliper bolt to try to draw it off you may get lucky but you normally end up smashing the bearing cover off so maybe order 2 new bearing covers the plastic nut normally chews up when trying to screw out of the bearing cover..

[@PaulG.x]

21:33 Yeah , gas pressure doesn't really work that way. If you were to put pressure sensors in each of the cylinder's ports , the pressures would be all the same , regardless of which cylinder was closest to the intercooler. The intake plumbing acts as a plenum chamber. "A plenum chamber is a pressurised housing containing a fluid at positive pressure. One of its functions is to equalise pressure for more even distribution, compensating for irregular supply or demand. It is typically relatively large in volume and thus has relatively low velocity compared to the system's other components."

Maybe it is an O-ring on the liner, that was not installed correctly, or curled up when installed. You don’t need to refurbish the heads, they are basiccaly just a cube of cast iron, and don’t twist with heat. But you have to pull the liner, to install a new set of O-rings.

[@Petriefied0246]

@@uliwehner true, you'd have all the amenities from the Scania chassis. Just need all the instruments and switches connected up to the older cab.

[@uliwehner]

@@Petriefied0246 that is what i was thinking. not my truck, not my money. I will watch either way.

The mat inside the wheel arch is for spray suppression and is a legal requirement in Europe. I'm pretty certain that Oskosh import Scania fire appliances into the US for city work so it might be worth seeing if they can source parts for you as a lot of parts are common across the range. As an example Scania made 13 different cab types and they all had the same windscreen.

[@1chish]

Excellent comment Paul. I think its just the V8 engines and drivelines but that is all Bruce needs right now. I noticed that the V8s are also used in the Oshkosh Striker 6 x 6 and 4 x 4 fire appliances ... Pretty sure Oshkosh would do overnight!

[@CrawlerSwede]

Nice to see back working on the Swedish Viking, saw some episodes from Max Hunt visiting Scania USA in Jacksonville can't they help you out? 😎

[@bigpaulrc3531]

Hi Bruce from Yorkshire England I have been watching for a long time what made you interested in Europe trucks I've been driving trucks for 25 years I like the look of usa trucks but they would have problems in England with the long chassis love your content and your will it start video's 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@danw1955]

Definitely looks like maybe someone was into it before and 'rolled' one of those sleeve seals when they were installing them. I think it'll be a good plan to knock both those sleeves out and see what's up with them. Hopefully not a cracked block, but probably unlikely as it doesn't look like it's been overheated.😉

[@tripel7470]

Funny noticing Bruce before and after his Scandinavian trip, before: I'm not going to pronounce this, afterwards: rolls right of the tongue

[@LeeRigby-ki1fd]

Hope the ceramic clutch isn't like the ones that I drove years ago they were like an on off switch,very harsh feeling and"grabby" making it difficult to set off on hill starts when fully loaded.Best of luck.

Hey det kan inte komma olja från toppen av the line det är bra kylvätska där! Kolla ovanför toppen eller cylindertoppen bredvid,

[@cedhome7945]

For safety you need a prop to stop the cab from crushing you if it falls back.also venting oil on to the road will sure make you popular with the local bikers ....run it into a big catch can and dispose of it

[@rkan2]

Ye I dunno if EPA rules from 25 years ago allow for venting CCV oil on the road lol.

[@Themanfromsweden]

You must put the pushrods i right place where they was from begining They are worn diffrent

[@MsDenisejoyce]

Nice video Bruce.. and if you ever want alu rims on the truck.. the USA size will not fit but I guess you knew already 😊

[@MrQuaz09]

You can actually get those brake parts here in states! Peterbilt dump trucks I worked on has same setups from the looks. Changing pads is literally a 3 minutes job it's the best haha

[@Dreyno]

A 3 minute job charged to the customer at 30 minutes 😑

[@vihreelinja4743]

Sure you need to pull the tools out and scratch the nugget while fighting the rusty bolts. Before doing the 3 minute pad change :D@@Dreyno

[@ssc00p]

@@Dreyno Well... you´ve to drive the truck to shop/lift... remove the wheel and overhoul the brakes, put all back in and then test it. Both sides. There´s no 3 min job in reality considering overall time spent from the mechanic... EDIT: in my line of work, our minimum rate is 30 mins, even if the job takes less than that customer gets a bill for 30 mins at least. (I am not a truck mechanic, I might add)

[@MrQuaz09]

I mean 3 minutes of pad changing once wheel is off etc compared to traditional drums. Only downside is when rotors need swapped it's a process just like inboard drums pulling the hubs. I've changed thousands of sets of drum pads and springs I'd much rather do disk day to day

[@Dreyno]

@@ssc00p I worked in a garage store. I charged out the parts and labor. I know how it works. There’s book time and real time. You charge the book time but it rarely takes an experienced mechanic anything close to that. That’s where the profit comes from.

[@jcbell78]

The new found confidence from working with the Jedi’s is shining through, even spills on the shop floor is starting to annoy Bruce. Scania U.S specialists has a good ring to it 👍🏻

[@uliwehner]

first time seeing a clean shop, with clean people working on clean trucks. It is a change for sure. not a lawn tractor after all.

[@jamieleather3758]

Bruce it looks like the sleeve seal is leaking probably In stalled incorrectly. wait until you get your 1000hp and put it in that one but put a second drive axle .Then strip this engine and twin turbo it and put it in the red truck but again second axle. love your channel Bruce.

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

like faucet job you replace the cold side might as well replace the hot. saying goes one or the other isn’t far behind.

[@patreed7966]

I told you power screen down there in Lakeland on the side of Interstate 4 has Scania engine parts and mechanics there you might be able to get a liner remover from them

[@RichardTrujillo-p9w]

I would definitely check the liner

[@DutchieMcDutchface]

I just love that Bruce's phone background is a NextGen Scania :p
