  • first we removed all cover to check that there was lubrication, all OK. When we where installing them we decided to make a film about it so we left the last 2 off and started the engine again just for the fun but the lubrication was fine.

  • How big is this motor?

  • @jbigbike

    Weight aprox : 16 Tons.

    Length about 5 meter.

    Height 3 meters.

    Engine bore 28 cm.

    Engine stroke 32 cm.

  • Without rocker covers, I'd think that oil would spray everywhere... Does this engine not pump oil up there?

    If so, how are the rockers and valve stems lubricated?

  • Yes the push rods and valve stamps are lubricated by a channel in the rocker and this is lubricated by oil comming out of the rockershaft.

    Oil is still cold during the filming engine is just started.

  • 3 Valves?

  • read comments please

    4 valves.

    2 intake

    2 exhaust

    middle for fuel injector.

    grtz

  • sounds like a cross between a alco/ge locomotive and an non turbo emd

  • Check mine out @ M/V Mississippi . Great machines

  • @mrcobus86 Thats a terrible motor.

  • i love that sound

  • How big is a 3600, ive worked on 3516's a lot but no diesel just landfill gas, also are the injector holes threaded, as on a 3515 i believe the heads are interchangable between diesel and gas.

  • The overhead sounds good. Nice job!

  • Kudos mrcobus...always like watching equipment like this starting.

    Air starters always sound awesome and this engine has a nice rhythm to it! LOL

  • @mrcobus86 cat 3600 series is my favourite engine , the electronic version of this has come. Anyway are you working with cat dealership too? just to have some exchange.

  • @emeryjk

    Injector failures is a big part of it.
