TheRebelOne Gas engine, nothing to hear

@@hirkimerwilberfart2413 Hey! Thanks! I have a 3408 that I'm going to have to tear into one of these days.

nopee i need putting mivec diesel 4g93t 😂

no they cant do that. then we all would be re-building out 3516's instead of taking it in.

Check out kt3406e's channel

I agree!! .

If you was WOKE,you would mute the sound LMFAO kids these day

WOW!! Thanks!!! I had no idea that was a possibility.... (sarcasm) If I'm a kid, you must be a marijuana smoking infant.

Hmm. I do work and have a vast hands on experience on Caterpillar diesel and natural gas engines in power generation and earthmoving construction machines. Caterpillar 3600 series is designed on medium speed specially in power generation on 720 RPM only. This series has four members 3606, 3608, 3612 and 3616 in different application designed on various RPM range. Besides power generation, locomotive, oil & gas. A special member is also available in Marine application only 3618 V18 engine. All engines is designed on 11 inch cylinder bore. Caterpillar 3500 series 6.7 inch bore Caterpillar 3400 series 5.4 inch bore. C15 has same bore even same cylinder liners. C16 has 140 mm bore and C18 has 145 mm. Caterpillar 3300 series has 4.75 inch cylinder bore Caterpillar 3200 series has 4.5 inch cylinder bore Caterpillar old is gold D346, D348, D349 diesel engines has also 5.4 inch / 137 mm cylinder bore

The local quarry lets you dump bodies in there for $500 each.

140 ft lb on main caps, + 180 degrees after that. Head bolts are 148 + 180

hmmm usually run these specific shafts more than 100,000 hours under preventive recommended maintenance schedule and SOS.

145ft lbs then 180 degree turn

$6000.00 a hole roughly.

Australian one of them...

Are you sure it's a CAT 903 not a CUMMINS 903? I never heard of a CAT 903, but CUMMINS had a 903 series many years ago that was popular.

Karl Braun You’re right it is a Cummins 903. Maybe that’s why I can’t find a dang thing about it. The guy I had look at it told me it was a Caterpillar marine diesel 😐🤬

@@@chloehennessey6813 Check with a CUMMINS dealer, and he can probably help you find the part you need.

@@chloehennessey6813 you lucked out. Cummins way better than a cat

Dear CAT 3516 V16 diesel engine is member of 3500 superceded series which is bigger, most reliable and powerful engine as compared to predecessor CAT D399 V16 engine. CAT 3512 diesel V12 engine is also superceded of D398 V12 engine. Cat 3500 series is designed on 170 mm cylinder bore & 190 mm Stroke as compared to 160 mm cylinder bore in D379 V8, D398 V12 and D399 V16 engine respectively. Also I believe D300 diesel and natural gas engines are designed on 1000 RPM as compared to CAT 3500 series are 1200 rpm in petroleum field and 1500 - 1800 rpm in industrial engines / power generation.

Hmm it's a natural gas fired CAT G3516 engine usually due major overhaul on service meter units about 45,000 to 50,000 hours. On the other hand same engine in diesel fuel can run about 16,000 to 18,000 hours due to high sulphur content in diesel and load rating.

@@zeeshan_engineering_services i think he meant how long did the rebuild take, but thats cool info too

@@miatafan thanks a lot.

Wait till you see drag racing head gaskets. They use thick copper ones.

What you saw was the spacer plate. The head gaskets are really not that thick

That wasn't a head gasket it was just a space plate

George Strickland nah just polish em with some WD40 and youll be fine

it should bolt right up ! if not napa makes an adapter plate for $19.95 .

Diesel

It is a natural gas Caterpillar G3516 V16 engine nor diesel

I love this, please

Easily... matter of fact they like NG and digester methane better than diesel. Run longer, not as many issues. Have rebuilt a many 3512 and 3516 that fan on alternate fuels.

@@marcredwine8735 Didn't know this. How is it done. Is the gas aspirated through the inlet or injected in some way?

Most times it is aspirated into the intake, and instead of injectors they have a spark plug in the injectors position a very big spark plug. There is also a version where NG or digester gas is substituted along with diesel. As the ECM ramps up the NG it reduces the diesel the engine uses.

In fact, this is how you get runaway engines, say at a drilling site and there is gas around, they go like crazy! @@marcredwine8735

@@Harley04 while a diesel may run away if it gets stray gas. This is NOT why diesel engines run away! They generally run away because of things like a broken oil line and the engine running off the oil in the sump or a turbo seal blown and the engine ingesting the oil and running on it, or the governor fails wide open and causes the engine to run away. or a busted oil cooler and or intercooler and oil ingestion. The key to a diesel running away id they tend to run uncontrollably on their own oil. it would be extremely hard for them to catch a whiff of natural gas in open air and run away like this.

Actually not as big of an issue as you would think, they took them off as a unit in the video but the heads are actually individual to each cylinder making "in-frame" or "in building" repairs much easier and manageable. If you look up head removal for this family of engine you'll see that from their 8 cylinder to their 32 cylinder(I think) they utilize the same design.

Replace them.

well that's what the mute button is for

You can completely overhaul one for about a quarter of the price of a new one. I just finished my 3rd zero hour overhaul on one this year still have 5 more to do for one customer

TheBlaggert the natural gas engines are mostly used in gen sets, but the diesel 3516 is used for power generation, marine applications, and a number of Cat’s larger mining applications.

@@33100Gman thanks for the reply. Living in N.Ireland we don't see many engines of this size

TheBlaggert anytime!

Depends on if diesel or natural gas. The ones I build are powering Ariel compressor packages to deliver natural gas to gathering stations downstream from the compressor stations

Join Army. You might hear one of these beasts allllll night powering your camp.

tell us more

If someone offers to do a full rebuild on a 3516 for 30k get the quote in writing. $1875 per pot wouldn't even cover a top end rebuild. Costs about $1500 just for oil to do a oil change.

Yea def a lot more than 30k 😆

I'm doing a rebuild on a little C-13 right now, and the parts alone are $16,000 + $7,000 in cores. I'm thinking the rebuild of this 3516 probably cost $100,000, maybe more.

I know we were selling our rebuilds for 300ish of the 3516.

Usually these completely rebuilt to new condition run $700K-1M maybe a bit less depending on the extra parts not on PSQ. The next big ones up are the C175 they cost $1M plus. All Australian dollars.
