Rebuilding a 1972 CAT 3306 diesel with @CostexTractorParts | PART II

[@allenmkent9141]

A dry gasket will get baked on to engine surfaces that have to be scraped off during reassemblies down the road. I use a wire wheel bit on a drill instead of scraping to save time. A wire wheel attachment on a grinder does quicker work and is better for cleaning rusted and machined surfaces. I use the chocolate colored non-hardening gasket sealer just lightly smeared on both sides of gaskets so it doesn't squeeze out the sides when bolted down. on the oil pan and valve cover I use grease on one side of the gasket so it can be reused if removal of the pan is necessary in the future. Spraying the copper gasket sealer to head gaskets helps them to be reusable. Even white lithium grease on both sides of a gasket will stop oil and coolant leaks. You can make yourself a heavy duty engine stand for out of frame rebuilds.

"That's not the yellow I expected" - priceless comment! It's looking great as it is weighted down with accessories again and painted.

Sometimes I don’t feel so smart haha but thanks!

[@AsitShouldBe]

bro, a little trick: when you have to insert the new seal, you can use the old one as adapter using in upside down and hammering over it without problems 😉🔧

Bro? Losers use emojis... and call others fing bro...

Great work from what I can see... There's a world of difference in making mistakes in the youtube world versus in a world where many of my generation came up. If we were lucky, we had an old codger or 2 who would scream maddingly in one ear while we learned on the fly - fire by fire. Most days, we had zero feedback and FUBAR'd a ton of hardware along the way. I prefer this method myself, opening up thoughts to comment and feedback. Don't worry, you'll still make more mistakes and hopefully get more responses and feedback to generate the side-hustle.

Hi! Maté great video as you do many things for sharing it with us all the best to you and your family and your friends

[@philstreeter9703]

Absolutely one of your best videos. I love Lisa's comment. She's a natural.

Give "Area Diesel Service" a call. They can walk you through pump timing.

[@christopherweise438]

Love the shout out to KT3406E. That dude's awesome.

[@billyhaddock5540]

great job getting the 72 Cat Diesel motor back together and painted.

[@northrungrader8937]

That colour is probably darn close, I don't know if you have the Rust Check Farm & Equipment Rust Paint, Old Caterpillar Yellow was the closest I could find for the older 160H Motor Graders I used to run. The 160M's were easy to find matching paint as most brands were so close you couldn't tell after a few weeks of sunlight. Good Job on the rebuild, can't wait to hear the old girl purr. They say nothing nothing runs like a Deere, away from the CAT :D.

[@dieseJL]

Thanks! She definitely purrrrs

[@kevinfrerichs8589]

Looking GOOD!

Please, one click on a torque wrench. Don't you trust it the first time? As an aircraft mechanic and technician for 45+ years I would have been drug over hot coals if I clicked the torque wrench more than once. One n done. You're not the only one on youtube that double clicks 'em.

Don’t be chicken. Take all the bolts into the kitchen, wash them on hot with lots of soap in the dishwasher before your wife notices. LOL

[@dieseJL]

That will end well haha

Put rubber tubing on con rod bolts when inserting pistons.

[@SamRFixes]

I'm in the middle of changing the engine, rear subframe, rear differential, driveshaft, and all of the suspension in my wife's Pilot. We have 2 Pilots for parts, and I've been taking everything apart to make one good one out of the 3. When you talk about gathering bolts to get them all where they are supposed to go, man, do I know that feeling! Great work! And thanks for showing the setbacks. It definitely adds to the reality of how projects like this actually go. It's good to see you overcome those challenges.

[@dieseJL]

Thanks! And good luck with your projects as well haha

[@rayscrafield2106]

I love seeing you use a ball peen hammer. I watch a ton of videos and so many "mechanic" use a damn carpenter's claw hammer. I can tell who has been trained and who hasn't. Good on ya!

[@dieseJL]

That’s my grandpas hammer

[@greg552]

Looks like you installed the pistons dry. Hoping not and I just missed you oiling the cylinders and piston rings.

[@davidpullen8457]

The rear main seal with the wear ring are not meant to be separated for install. There is a tool that Cat have that installs the seal and wear ring together. Doing it the way you did will always fail... just for future reference. Kudo`s on a great build

[@dieseJL]

Thanks! As you probably saw I went to a rubber type

52:27 Hearing you say you're moving the Libehr 'today' shows how long ago this was and has been going on! Pretty cool man.

[@dieseJL]

Thanks! Yeah I mean it had fall colors in the video lol it’s been a slog

[@ferdystrik4629]

You need to push it in white the bolts not a hammer 😅end put a little grease on the crank

[@terencetyndall8596]

when assembling an engine crank cylinders and so on use assembly grease and mix oil with it - if the engine set for a time you will get a dry start up just oil will drop down

[@mikesmith8952]

Why not use Heat to remove the Cosmoline from the exhaust manifold instead of chemical or mineral spirits? Heat usually leaves the best results when the same heat won't damage whatever you're cleaning! Just my two cents..😊

[@dieseJL]

Didn’t think about that 🤔

[@mikesmith8090]

I think about 5500… not nearly enough to spin a rod bearing.

Is the plan to put this back into the 977L?

[@fstlnj29]

you dont freeze the bearings before you drive them in?

[@I_Dont_Answer_Questions]

Can tell those that have never worked a day in their life...

[@ShainAndrews]

You think what you watch is the reality of the world. It isn't installed frozen at the factory. It sure as hell isn't installed frozen at a mine, or forest camp, or anywhere else. The people that throw things in the freezer are the best. That's maybe an 80 degree delta.

[@fstlnj29]

@@ShainAndrews So you have tried it? He makes a comment on the difficulty and I am asking a question. For the record all of your criteria are not part of his build but thanks for the response,

[@ShainAndrews]

@@fstlnj29 90% of the time it makes zero difference. The other 10% is going to be large diameter shafting. Talking paper mill, or mining type industries. 1" diameter with temperature delta of 80 degrees is .001" (diameter). Freezer 1" diameter with temperature delta of 300 degrees is .002" (diameter). Liquid nitrogen 1" diameter with temperature delta of 600 degrees is .004" (diameter). Liquid nitrogen & heating 10" diameter with temperature delta of 80 degrees is .005" (diameter). Freezer 10" diameter with temperature delta of 300 degrees is .020" (diameter). Liquid nitrogen 10" diameter with temperature delta of 600 degrees is .040" (diameter). Liquid nitrogen and heating .004 is where clearances starts to become advantageous... But everything has to be aligned dead straight. Any delay means the temperature delta decays erasing the clearance.

"Hooked up"? They charge just like every other injection shop.

Yeah maybe someday 🤷🏻‍♂️ Runs well for now

[@tdotw77]

I believe the only hookup is coming from their combined collaboration videos, more exposure, not so much money saved. They do take great care of any diesel parts or machine parts. I'd give them business if I ever have the need & budget to send it out to them.
