The 36 series Cats are not particularly old and are not well know for their durability.

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

Injector failures is a big part of it.
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.

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.
