Nothing but the best, I think the guy that sent the pictures said the truck owner did the "repairs."

Yeah, they're like watches with major consequences if you mess something up. Lol

Thank you for the very kind words and thanks for watching. I wouldn't make the videos if people didn't watch them.

How does that work lol

@@shivermetimbers8344 the puller was too small and we had a race that fit on the sleeve perfectly so we put that inbetween

Thank you sir.

Thanks for watching and glad you like the videos.

Do you work on very many Oliver tractors with Waukesha?

@@eddygoodwin7089 no sir I work on generator and gas compressor packages. Weak 5790 9390 145 1905 3521 1197 etc. natural gas engines and some diesel configurations. What engine are in those ?

@@bofa1330 I have an Oliver 880 that has a diesel Waukesha. It’s been a while since I’ve messed with it, can’t remember what displacement it is.

@@eddygoodwin7089 yea haven’t messed with that one

Hey Jacob, how's the Think Big program going so far?

.....he already does. 😊

@@stevendaniels8652 I get that but more formally in tech ed.

@@badgerpa9 he can reach many more people this way and it costs us nothing. If you take what you learn here and get yourself a diesel to work on, with a manual for it, you will learn.

@@stevendaniels8652 I had enough diesels to work on years ago, prefer to be at least part retired. But thanks hope high school is going well for you.

@@badgerpa9 high school? That's a wild assumption. Or was that an attempt at condescension?

I usually use rubber lubricant which is used for mounting tires and installing cylinder liners. I wouldn't want dawn added to the coolant as it can cause bubbles which can lead to cavitation inside the cooling system.

You could definitely do that, we used to do them as needed, but then Cat said you need to do them all.

Ok thanks!

I do separate them as you can see the pistons are out, I do label them though so the pistons stay with the liner they came out of. I don't think it matters, but just for tracking purposes. I've installed them before without doing the measurements and it saves probably 2 hours of labor, although the complete cylinder packs are heavy and awkward to install. If the protrusion is off though you are pulling the whole thing out then.

@@AdeptApe Thanks for the reply, yeah I find the packs heavy and awkward to work with.

I didn’t think for some reason the connecting rod would fit through the liner ?

Always pull the piston out and check you got all your ring, reman are not the best

Hope you see this ADEPT APE

Type 30 diaphragm pushed just below deck works good too. Do recommend the ear plugs in the gallery ports for sure. Just don't forget them!

PC stands for precombustion chamber. Old Cat engines (when fuel was dirt cheap) used this design. The precombustion chamber that screwed into the cylinder head, had the nozzle and glow plug in it. The nozzle would inject fuel into the precombustion chamber and ignite down onto the piston. The piston had a plug dead center to help absorb the heat and keeping from burning a hole in the piston. The other lingo is DI or direct injection. The nozzle chamber was designed so the tip of the nozzle extends pass the bottom of the cylinder head. So you cannot mix pistons up, because of the ignition process. If you do black smoke, early hour failure. In the truck world you cannot pull a DI engine out and replace it with a PC. I cannot say off road. The reason is the cylinder head on a PC engine carries a lot more heat from ignition process and a PC engine runs a bigger cooling system package. So you could have PCT, Precombustion Chamber Turbocharged, PCTA Precombustion Chamber Turbocharged Aftercooler, or DIT, DITA, NA naturally aspirated, JWAC Jacket Water Aftercooled, ATAAC Air To Air Aftercooled. As with a service manual you must start with the engine prefix. Cat uses a three digit prefix. Examples of truck engines include but not limited to 92U, 7FB, 65B, 02Z, 5EK, SDP, 63Z, 9TL. That tells Cat what you have. Once you have the serial number, you have to see if a media number still is available. The media number also has a code that includes what language it is printed in.

Wow so much info still tryna soak it in thanks you ver much this is the only tag on that engine looks old say 3304 pc than SN- 4b16743 Than arrangement number -7n3301

Around where I'm at it's dependent upon cost of living where the dealership is located. We have several stores throughout the state and each place has different costs of living and each shop is generally in a different Union, so how well they bargain also plays into pay.

It's orange, not sure if it looked more red on your screen or if that's just the video.

@@AdeptApe engines I work on have 2 black and a coloured one. Coloured always went on top, iv been told! Is this wrong?

Thanks for the reply BTW 👍 big fan

They are, but Cat has had so many failures due to improper assembly. They require certain guidelines on a rebuild or it won't be under warranty. One article is SEBF9008 that is very important.

Find the problem and correct it. Liner is .350 flange plate is .338 thick gasket .008 roughly Plate and gasket roughly .346 total minus from liner is roughly .004 projection. Cat wants a milled top deck min of .001 to .006 Counterbored block min .003 to .006. The crush on the gasket is maxed out and really not doing any good. Also at some point you will crack liner flanges.

With no shims on a new deck you will usually see about .003-.004" protrusion. The engine is designed to have that much protrusion with the assembled parts, so you are really just trying to get it within spec.

Thanks for responding i have a concern there are two visible lines in block around the liner bore i cant feel them but i can see them is this a mandatory cut counter bore indicator even if the protrusion is 0.025 to 0.035. Ive also seen spacer plates 0.03 thinner if that plate makes 0.065 protrusion will that cause water and return oil leaks or crack liners.

I'm not sure why they want those bolts so tight anyway, it's just holding the liner down to check it.

To compress the spacer plate gasket properly....
