Great work, I think bigger the engine, better to work on. Cat in one of the best diesel engines in the world. The biggest one I worked on is the 3406 for trucks and construction equipment. Wll look at website for more videos like this, Thanks for sharing.
for sure.... i worked for MaK for yrs, to fit 9 heads, all pipes, all rockers, tappets set and ready to run took 4.5hrs... (well it was a friday, and the pub was about to open)
@tpvalley the charge air inlet is connected in a horizontal plane at the rear of the head. fastening of the charge air inlet is done via an o-ring, not exactly 'push-fit' but a flat face seal created when the head is tensioned.
I wish some of this technology was available in engines a 10th this size. Exhaust manifolds that don't break off? anti-polishing rings? crankcase doors? This is a slow and measured process shown here and it IS only one cylinder, but I have spent quite a lot of time doing similar on smaller engines and had a LOT more frustration! lol
Actually the pink color on the chain is a safety feature. The paint on the chain is a special compound that if the chain is used at excessive temperatures, the paint will turn brown. Excessive temperatures would cause the chain to lose it's strength and a safety hazard would result.
@maw9779 Actually, that's incorrect. The lifting gear is all different colours depending on the testing schedule. For example, Jan - Mar blue, Mar - Apr Red, etc. This system ensures that only lifting equipment which has passed testing is used.
why is the chain pink? like they ran out of colors and was like ah what the hell paint it pink boys no one will see this...over 20 000 views later lol
I love this vid because I am a chief engineer in the french navy, and I 'd like being a mechanic teacher. It 's good for improving my english as well. Thanks a lot to Caterpillarinc.
