THE SNAP ON JUNKIE CATAPILLAR 3406E ENGINE TEARDOWN

[@jamesmccormick7424]

I noticed Jim always stays on opposite side of truck from ole buttcrack. LOL.

[@yazeed3881]

Jim smoked 674 cigarettes during the production of this video

[@chrise3801]

😂

[@acinstaller92]

Haha

[@BrenticusMaximus1]

You know what might be cool? An overhead camera doing an overhaul.

[@dadtube1936]

Just say no to crack.

[@ichoozjc]

Lol

[@gilbertb8078]

I like to put the front axle on Jack stands and remove the tires first.Makes it so much easier to work on it.Thanks for posting.

[@MrTravisAl]

I like the idea of access and visibility but not sure if I’d pull them. I use em to climb on, stand on and push against / push off from for leverage. Lol.

[@juanperalta3671]

Good work fellas. Here's some info, 1. The base that you removed is known as the lower valve cover base. 2. Engine has 26 head bolts. 3. As far as cutting counter bores Cat recommends when one fails to cut all six. We have had a lot less head gasket issues since doing this.

[@carlosjackson7018]

I have an opportunity to buy a 95 kodiak with a cat 3116 with automatic allison can you give me some place i can get a dervice manual

[@chevy2061]

Your the cat guy in the comments

[@Kingcustomz]

Dude your videos are awesome. I am now getting myself into diesels. my channel is all about gas engines and teardowns, but I am not trying to incorporate diesels into my channel as well. I am learning alot from you so I do want to thank you for being a teacher to me!

[@kellyr9388]

Fantastic video Justin. been a automotive and a light duty truck tech for years,but never seen a tractor trailer tear down.

[@BruceAllentools]

Ive done a few 3406B. I have the engine turning tool for this engine and the injector cup tool. you can never judge a head by looking at it. if youre doing a head gasket you should always check and deck the head just for safety measures.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Bruce Allen where just put a new head and cam and it

[@DieselRamcharger]

they are whiz wheeling the deck of the motor.....clueless would be an understatement.

[@HardKnocksForge]

You need some high waisted jeans. Either that or visit Duluth trading company and get some long tail tees.

[@seeno1]

Hard Knocks Forge either that or hit the gym

[@nathanielroerig7453]

[@francesbaker8230]

Crack kills

[@jamescooper8107]

Or don't fucking worry about it.

[@stunodd8701]

Hey Crack Kills!

[@MrBoz2004]

I had the fun of helping my father do this process on his C15 550 Cat last year when his head gasket went out at if I remember right around 1.2 million miles. His 2000 379 Pete has been his baby, I believe he's got it pumping out around 750 hp and damn if I even know the torque at the rears. Great video for people to watch and learn with.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

MrBoz2004 thanks dude

[@pjokelly1128]

Great job Justin! Nice to see the mix of tool reviews and then the tools in action too! Most guys just show the tools and don't show them working with them!

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

PJ O'Kelly thanks PJ hope you enjoyed it yeah there's this is the first part of a probably a three-part series

[@mcozpda3392]

Great 42 mnts in this video .. and my curiosity in the CAT's engines .. I was driver truck 80's /90's and have some experience in Cummins .. but this engine is awesome .. Greetings from Mexico ..

[@turninwrenches5599]

I cant remember 100% whats in the platinum kits but I have had best results changing all the important engine sensors at the time of an overhaul especially in a cat along with the injector/jake harness as well as giving the main engine harness a very good going over and try to talk the customer into replacing the fuel pressure regulating valve as well as all fuel lines on the suction side, its a shame to spend all that money on an inframe and not cover all the bases...also a good time to check out the front crank seal. These are just things i have ran across in my travels. Great video!!!!

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

turninwrenches yeah we understand a check all that stuffwell Jim's worked on this truck pretty much I'm in the customer just ask us to do an overhaul on it I guess only going to drive the truck about another year or two I'm guessing but on the trucks in you know pretty good mechanical shape there's just a little little things that are wrong you know wrong with it the main thing was it was burning any freeze

[@Credd81]

"That's just how my pants fit" --- Brother, I know your pain; don't you dare edit it out... embrace it...! Awesome videos man!

[@edgriswold3796]

Man Im 160 pounds and I have my belt so tight that I can't feel my feet and I still have the same problem.lol

[@joshsummers8606]

The Snap-On Junkie!!! this is just a suggestion but have you considered buying a belt so that you don't have to keep pulling your jeans up and pulling your hoodie down.

[@derschafer1012]

Or better yet... coveralls.

[@tryduck6993]

I'm sure snapon will brand both a belt or suspenders if ya told them your willing to pay for it.

[@honda_doc6826]

Good video. Nice to see what goes into when dealing with diesel engines.

[@naildit3881]

i've watched a couple of your newer videos, and went back started watching your older ones now. Your doing well, just be your self and you'll keep getting more subs.. The tear down video is fun to watch, I'm sure Jim likes having your help.Saves alot of time when you have good help, and you get on the job training, it's a win..win for both of you. Do more videos like this when you can, i'll keep working my way throught your older videos until i reach the couple of newer one that i have already watched..have to work on loosing the butt crack though!!!

[@naildit3881]

a camera mounted to the windshield pointed toward the engine(like a suction cup mount) would have been a cool view also. JMO

[@JasonSmith-vd1sz]

Old Cats never die, they just get rebuilt! Thanks for the video, keep it up.

[@donniewilliamsjr.8294]

Jason Smith I can say the same for Cummins. I just overhauled a 855 big cam 3. Dropped #3 intake valve and beat the shit out of the piston. After teardown and some Scotch-Brite the crank was like new. That would never happen with today’s engines! You would be swinging the engine.

[@midnightgarage4065]

great video justin! very in-depth and amusing. looking forward to re-assembly.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Midnight Garage thanks

[@shawnrobinson5156]

Go get a Milwaukee impact the fuel will kill the snap on impact

[@Thewatcher19190]

Man i havent saw that much crack since the last time i rode through the hood

[@jamesmoon7312]

I love watching you and Jim working on shit. I love trucks and engines and you have the only chanel that is real time the way it's done every day. You guys are awesome

[@Elite69Halo]

Subbed because Jim always has a dirty smoke hanging from his mouth haha

[@michelreineking8284]

Not the technical term by CAT. But the general term used in my experience for the lower valve cover is rocker box

[@austint3598]

Rocker cover / intermediate housing

[@robertclark5773]

I worked on Alco 251C main propulsion diesels in the Navy,16 cylinder 3000 brake hp turbo charged. The head bolt torque was 750 lbs.. They have O rings between the liner lip and the block. If they go bad you have to take it apart head,liner,piston down to the crank journals. Replace the O rings, putting it back together is a real hard job. Did three cylinders in 2.5 days.They run 24/7 for months at a time.

[@MrTravisAl]

Good catch on the wire! Always good to have a keen eye while operating. Good catch. That would suck a lil bit.

[@jsutty7530]

At least yall got access to the engine..most the trucks we see the engine sets back into the cab with no dog box..and yea she needs a head gasket..u have to use a crane for isx head to fuckers heavy...we actually use a crane for any cylinder head..work smarter not harder right

[@austinholman20]

jsutty are you taking about stub nose trucks. cuz I too know the pain of getting a head out of that shit. the ftl Cascadia stub nose is probably my least favorite.

[@jsutty7530]

Truely Moto yes...cascadias..m2...volvos..plenty of trucks like that

[@earlpener]

Good video Justin, I like the locking flex head too. " I am fat" Lol, that's awesome! I think you should be able to find the correct shade of crack spackle to fit your needs on the Matco truck. Lol

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Earl lol

[@theyoungmechanic1677]

Hes right with the headbolts on those, I did a head gasket on a C15 in a Pete and my 3/4 matco impact wouldn't do it nor my snap on or my Milwaukee so I resorted to a 1/2 inch snap on breaker bar and 5 ft of exhaust pipe

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

I never liked to work on cat's but give me a Cummins or Detroit and I am in there all out. Great job though for a cat teardown with all the extra stuff they use and the waight of everything.

[@tthebarber555]

You really need all those tools ...this job is the fuckin truth..... I love it....

[@Hyprmtr]

I thought the liner protrusion was supposed to be between 4 and 6 thou on the deck otherwise there will not be enough clamp pressure on the fire ring. Also it is very important to measure at least four places around the cylinder.

[@zacmcvic3000]

jim is like "i'm not dealing with any of your shit" lol

[@reileykearns6165]

newbie here, sorry if this is a stupid question. Is there any reason you couldn't warm up the head bolts before you crack them?

[@Dylan-hj4rx]

I have done an overhaul on a CAT before it is a lot of work and you and Jim got it done pretty quick

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Dylan Vickery yeah me and Jim work really well together it is a lot of work yeah I got to go in tomorrow and clean up all the parts that were keeping and just do a visual inspection on everything just to get it ready

[@Dylan-hj4rx]

The Snap-On Junkie!!! yeah the measurements are killer they take a while and keep up the good work on all your videos and I can't wait for the next video about the CAT overhaul

[@TheRoguelement]

Hey big fella . I'm not familiar with this test can you tell Me what this procedure is proving ? I did however hear some noise in the upper Or top end of this 3406E I'm going to guess it has a Gazillion or so mile's on it right ? Anyway if certainly doesn't take itself apart so I guess I'm gonna let you have at it good luck Bro...But I do know that allowing your truck to run on past the oil change interval can create the situation you have before you now...But they have the "Super Upper Kit" with upgraded turbo and ceramic coated intake manifold the kit when installed look's great they have a switch blade turbo that from what I here work's just fantastic meet's or rather exceed's manufacturers everything ..

[@INCC74656I]

it blows my mind that you have 3/8 impacts... i bought the 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 impact set from snapon for working on my cummins. i find the 3/8 to be a waste as it sits in an overlap zone of 1/4 and 1/2" tools

[@joshsummers8606]

The Snap-On Junkie!!! I like your KZbin channel and your KZbin videos, you call it how it is you don't bullshit I like that I subscribed to your channel keep up the fucking good work.

[@mikeleo7189]

How do you like the -3 undersize spacer plate versus cutting for shims ? You know if the -3 will get it like you want it .

[@DOYLECLEVERLOBE1]

Really cool stuff man, great work. Funny how those bolts were laughing at that 3/4" gun.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

DOYLECLEVERLOBE1 do you have those bolts are pretty tight

[@manoloaviles2618]

hello, very good video I would just like to know how they came to the determination to wear the cylinders or was just one that does not measure up thanks

[@churcoff81]

lots of people run green coolant in the 3406E cause its an older engine and the longer the green stuff stays in the more corrosive it gets. Hands down best heavy hauler engine i think

[@drewgrob6346]

Hell of a dude like your vids keep it up man

[@luvskippy]

love your channel, now how did you pull those liner packs, I could see your plated and pulled it but what was it attached to ? the inside of the liner or ? also how did you measure the block for the counterbore, I know you did it with the sled guage but where on the block and was it with the compression plate on it?

[@1micYT]

I just watched all of this and I'm impressed with the work you all do. I'm in Ohio and would really like your contact info. A good mechanic goes a long way.

[@Torqd_Off]

That was the best gun Snap On ever made... we used to have torque shoot outs with them on rims, hub piloted. See where the torque wrench broke at. Shop had a 525lbs policy on hub piloted and 325 on Dayton. We would run them right on with those guns. I'd peel steel from the steel rims.

[@maddykeri1]

I had an E 455hp did the same thing smoked, blowing water.I just did a head gasket never gave me any problems for 2 yrs then I sold it.

[@Jeremy-iv9bc]

You need a bigger hose for that 3/4 impact. You should be using a 3/4 air hose and 3/8 fittings minimum for a 3/4 impact. Air flow is the most important thing for big guns.

[@davidmorse8432]

You are right, and so many people don't get this.

[@markraouf6976]

Make sure your working air pressure is 90 psi (air pressure with the trigger pressed down all the way on your air tool). Great video.

[@cowboyup8secsgold]

Cat calls the valve cover attachment a rocker box, or at least they do for the stationary natural gas 3306.

[@imnotahillbilly123]

cowboyup8secsgold No, they call it a riser base.

[@johnerickson8234]

i really appreciate your time to gilm the cat rebuild. would like to see more.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

John Erickson yeah they'll be more videos to come is give me a three-part series

[@craigslist3445]

It's awesome watching you guys wrench on that engine. I have to hand it to you.... how in the hell do you remember where all of the nuts and bolt go?

[@brycelund7155]

Craig Slist big brain.

[@edgardoelona2949]

Dear Sir, we have 3406e marine engine the problem is zero boost so rpm going down right now from 1800 rpm before and now down to 1150 rpm only ,obviously the speed also are affected from 13 knots to 9 knots.Any remedy what possible cause?

[@scottpearsontoolsmore185]

what was he pointing at on the one pack. makes me think that no one ever checked the coolant and stable the electrolyte that in turn eats away at the liner's

[@ApostleDavids8w]

I’m a trucker and that’s some wrenching reminds me standing in the shop watching and learning. I’m looking to get my own truck don’t think I’ll get a 3406 car bec ya there pricy and to pricy to deal with head gaskets because cylinders are dropping. That means the block is weak. What do you think about the ACERT I have been considering it because it has a 6 inch crank and twin turbo. Or should I just stick with the ISX

[@itzchaparr0661]

is that a turbo? if so would it fit on my honda?

[@TheCraftyPig]

Supra owners be "STOCK TURBO"

[@mattk970]

You could rig it to fit but your little honda engine wouldn't spool it.

[@TolandTheShattered]

Matt K bet

[@mattk970]

Your wittle honda wouldn;t even spool that Turbo. Sorry man, get a real vehicle.

[@adriangonzalez7049]

Mighty car mods 😂

[@ppenfield]

I have the same three-quarter Ranch snap on gun if you drill it out and run a bigger hose it ask like I want to change the exhaust port on them is way too small for it

[@MrUltraworld]

A smoky club ambiance! Hey Justin, do you know how many miles this engine has on it? That head looks pretty nasty. Oil changes being done on time? I'm new to all this stuff, but if a cylinder head in a car looked like that, I'd say oil changes weren't being done on time.

[@INCC74656I]

i drive a diesel and am quite happy about having rebuilt it myself and putting "large parts into it" but then you look at these ACTUALLY big trucks and the injectors are the size of my trucks outer axle shaft, the turbos on my truck are the size of the fuel filter on this thing... i may have more HP and close to the same torque but mine has to work crazy hard to do that while this thing just shrugs... my cummins takes a bit over 4 gallons oil, ill bet this thing is more than double that

[@TheXcraptasticx]

same torque? most cats are about 1850ft,tuned 2150 to 2400...and with pre nox file 700+hp

[@kingjames7273]

use moly-lube when you reinstall the head bolts and clean and chase those holes guys. or you'll be doing this in less than 6 months

[@phillipchambers8487]

Great 3406 video. Love to have that Liner Cutting Tool.

[@WALKINGBYFAITH144]

Hey how are you brother awesome video gotta love those cats they come in handy as a truck Driver new to the channel blessings new friend God bless you and keep you

[@jacobcobb4778]

This type of video is what I like to see!

[@1micYT]

I have a 3406e. This is what an in-frame job looks like then huh?

[@erendiraniirepani4783]

Very good video footage of the work project. Awesome! Thanks. I got a question for Jim. "For new students attending Diesel Heavy duty Tech classes. What does Jim highly recommend to learn at school?"

[@ronaldromero2925]

Hello sir where can I get that puller your using to remove the piston liner?

[@ichoozjc]

20:04 "ok, what you see right here is..." Finish the sentence.

[@pcmasterwraith7676]

so help me out you fill the rad, leave cap off, it runs gets warm the water being exposed to air boils and splashes out cause there is no cap on surge tank because it cant pressurize which means it will boil, and that means the engine is bad? im lost on this what am i missing

[@96cr]

It should slowly rise and boil out not explode out if the rad like it did. The cylinder pressure escaping passed the head gasket is pushing the coolant out

[@carswithchris2788]

Putting in some work I see!!! Glad you liked the hand soap man

[@kevingib100]

How many miles on this engine since last rebuild? Great video, I had no idea what it looked like under the hood of a truck and how huge everything is.While you were doing this, I was putting cv shafts and brakes in my daughters VW Bug - got to exercise some of my tools for sure.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Kevin Gibson we don't know how many miles are on it the speedometer was broken so I don't know but I would say like 1,000,000 1/2

[@deme30883]

How many cigarettes did it take todo that job ?

[@tirath8623]

i do have to say jim is master of wht he does

[@GarnettTools]

Ew, Toyota Lift!?!?!?!?!?!!! We need to find those guys a quality Hyster product lol. Also I like how some are distracted by your crack, didn't even notice. The whole video, I was thinking: Dude, is he doing all this in a pair of Jordans?!?!?!?!?!???

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Garnett-Tools only if I needed knew a guy that could get me a free Heister forklift then I would have one also do you always going to be do you know rock in the low top Jordan They r classic

[@kevingib100]

Perfect chance for a donation +Garnett--Tools. You can even write it off on your 2017 taxes and I think a Propane Hyster would look sweet in Justin's shop full time.

[@Alejandro-vb2fx]

Toyota makes some of the best lifts I've ever used, as for hyster..... Junk

[@justind6039]

Awesome video. Love how you talked about what tools you used in certain situations and fastener sizes.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Justin D thank you yeah I thought it would help people out if they knew kind of what everything kind of was

[@justind6039]

The Snap-On Junkie!!! What size were the head bolts?

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Justin D are they or three-quarter inch 12 point they take a special socket that in another video that I have up and it tells you the part number and all that type stuff

[@justind6039]

The Snap-On Junkie!!! Ahh yes, I do remember seeing that. So 1 1/8" head then.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Justin D no 3/4 12 Point three-quarter drive socket

[@bryanbethea8335]

Really enjoyed the video. You just picked up a subscriber, can't wait to see more videos like it. Thanks

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Bryan Bethea thanks dude

[@pro2aneveryield479]

That Jim is a talker ain't he?

[@vladimirtc9574]

there are 26 head bolts. 10 of them are longer and they are mounted on the outside of the head.

[@joelmitchell5149]

Which was easier the Cummins or the cat?

[@redwolfmotovlogsandstuff7302]

You'd make a damn good plumber, gave me a chubby a few times watching this XD

[@stocks4bt]

you should try the aircat 1250k impact wrench. it might be strong enough to break those head bolts

[@tomelliott83]

Wow. Great video. You put a lot of work I think this one. Nice to see Excalibur in action.

[@JUSTINSTURGILLTRUCKING]

Thomas Elliott thank you yeah I had a quite a lot of time in putting this video out

[@kevinrdee9273]

great video footage guys keep it up!

[@rogeronslow1498]

So because it dumped a gallon of coolant on the ground it's in need of an overhaul?

[@gorillaz308]

[@bobbyadams6649]

What was the brand and model of the counterbore cutter
