Is this the first teardown you've seen on this channel? There are nearly 120 more I've filmed over the last two years. You can find them here: • Blown Up Engine Tear D...
Last week I started the teardown process on the first medium duty engine I've had on the channel. A Caterpillar 3126 7.2L Turbodiesel inline 6. If you haven't seen that video, watch it here first:
• A CAT DIESEL!? Caterpi...
This was an engine I found on Facebook marketplace with a suspected fueling issue and two "Bad looking" cylinders. In part one, we dismantled the top of the engine removing the fuel system, valve train and cylinder head as well as the turbo, exhaust manifold and some other parts. We found some issues for sure, but was it enough to condemn the engine?
Before I started this teardown series, I watched a few videos on this engine on another channel that were EXTREMELY helpful in both the teardown process and learning what to look for. That channel is ‪@AdeptApe‬ and is loaded with awesome CAT content.
Why am I doing this? I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model is dismantling core or bad engines and salvaging the good parts. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do.
For parts or to peruse our inventory you can visit www.Importapart.com or email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com.
I hope you enjoyed this teardown, I can't promise any more engines of this nature on the channel but it was great to step outside of my comfort zone. Really enjoyed working on this engine as it was designed to be serviced!
As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you all on the next one!
-Eric

The reason most heavier duty diesel engines run a 2 piece piston is 2 fold. The steel top is for heat dissipation and the aluminum skirting is to keep the rotating mass down. Plus if you break a skirt and the block and top is fine you can replace the skirt rings and bearings on the engine and go right back to work. The rods and main bearings are actually considered routine maintenance items and are replaced on a regular basis. That wear sleeve on the main seal is replaced every time you do the main seal on a Cat engine. The bellhousing adapter is to allow it to mate to whatever it is going into they have multiple types for whatever it will be used in. Trucks dozers mine trucks rollers all take a different style.

That is overall a great description. I just have one minor difference in opinion. The steel part of the piston is for heat tolerance during combustion. The aluminum is for heat dissipation and lower reciprocating mass. Rotating mass is actually good in low rpm high torque applications.
@Hydrazine1000
@Hydrazine1000 Жыл бұрын
You're close, it has to do with heat, but not dissipation. Aluminum is a much better heat conductor than steel, by a factor of 3 or more. Steel has a higher strength than aluminum, especially at modern diesel combustion temperatures, and it has a lower thermal expansion than aluminum, by a factor of 2. So a steel piston top is better because it is better able to withstand the combustion pressure and temperature, while it can get away with smaller piston-to-bore clearance (block and pistons have similar thermal expansion coefficients, if both are steel) which helps lowering emissions. But the skirt doesn't need to transfer much force, it doesn't need as tight clearances as the top and it doesn't get as hot. Steel has about a 3 times higher density, so it makes perfect sense to switch to aluminum for the skirt, it saves on important _reciprocating_ mass (not rotating mass, that's the crank and cam shaft).

Back in the 90’s there was an issue with batches of 3126 blocks. They were listed as “Soft Blocks” and had a factory service letter out that was kept secret from the public. What happened was the casting of blocks got mixed with the wrong ratio of alloys which created a softer metal than standard. They telltale issues started out with the motors blowing smoke and loss of compression. The blocks were breaking down around water jackets and cylinder walls. I had 2 of these blocks in my boat from 1996 and Cat supplied new short blocks around 250 - 300 hours of service. They have the serial numbers of bad batches somewhere on file.

2 suggestions that probably aren't necessary but would seem safer to me - 1) use a jack stand or some other support at the end of the engine when you have something that long and heavy sticking out from the engine stand, and/or 2) always use upward force when breaking bolts so you're not adding strain to the stand. Overall, very cool teardown.

I had a 2005 Kenworth with a Cummins ISX engine. I was driving near Joplin, MO one night and heard a knock in the engine. I shut it down immediately, which ended up being my big mistake. MHC in Joplin tore down the motor and I had broken a wrist pin. I don't know if it was defective or something, but it broke in half. Shutting it down immediately saved the motor, but it was never right after that. I would have been better off if I had just jammed the pedal down and ran it until blew up. It was a company truck so I wouldn't have been out any cash. 😁

Those pistons are articulated pistons Cummins and other engines use something similar. I do know that you were misinformed on the cylinders, the block dose have liners in the block which can be replaced during a rebuild. I was a diesel mechanic for 26 years and I have installed many liners both dry and wet liners, dry liners have to be chilled with dry ice before installation. The counterbore needs to be checked before installing liners. Cheers Glenn P.S.I really enjoy the teardowns.

Here’s a tip for you - and I’ll use the example of when you tried to loosen the first main cap bolt - if you look at the angle you held your breaker bar at, you were putting a LOT more weight onto your engine stand while you were loosening that bolt - VS - if you’d rotated the engine with the crank facing up and then positioned your breaker bar so you were pulling ‘parallel’ to the length (your bar at a 90 deg angle to the crank) of the engine or crank. Hope this makes sense, kind of hard to explain. But the end result is to work with the physics of the whole dynamic, instead of against it. Same thing applies in many different scenarios of when you’re loosening tight fasteners.

Great video! So interesting to see the big stuff. A lot different from my VW Rabbit diesel, except for the wristpins. They were huge, too. OK, not as huge, but still pretty heavy compared to most gas engines.

I drove a fuel transport, 9000 gas, the oldest truck in the fleet had that engine. I had a c12, and it was like driving a go cart. Cat engines are the best, to bad they are no longer an option on big trucks anymore. There are plenty on the road, but only older trucks.

SKF makes replaceable wear sleeves like the one on the crank under the name "SpeediSleeve". They´re usually designed to go on a worn shaft without machining and using a standard seal.

Excellent video. Learned a lot. Would be very interesting to see you go thru a Mercedes OM606. These engines are absolute jewels but probably price prohibitive to acquire. Keep up the good work.

Very nice, those Pistons just like a Cummins 8.9 but the way those roller followers are mounted is brilliant I bet the only thing wrong with it was the O-ring on that injector. I don't think the bearings were bad enough to make it knock or have low oil pressure. You got a good deal on that one.

God bless Cat! All of their equipment is designed to be rebuilt, from the 797 all the way down to small unit assemblies like the C0.5, all designed by Cat to be completely rebuilt. LOVE EM !

great videos Eric! I drove OTR trucks for a dozen years, with all different engines. the CAT powered ones (in my experiences) were the best in performance & reliability. the DDs were ok if they were set up right, but I never had a Cumm-apart I didn't hate for some reason or several.

thx for the part 2.. it is a beautiful engine design. I cant see enough to call it a loss. I am pretty sure it would have caught a hone, rings, bearings, and repair that injector issue then went 1 million miles after.
