I continue to be amazed at the depth of maintenance performed at sea! I'm understanding more as to why there must be redundancy with systems. A ship is it's own self-sustaining island. A realization to folks like myself who've not been in the bowels of a ship subjected to the mechanical aspects. Sure I think, there are engines, generators, water makers, and other pieces that keep everything going... I just never realized the immense responsibility of care and knowledge that goes into the upkeep! Thanks for another great video! Stay well, stay safe!

My salute to all seafarers working away for their family ♥️

Retired heavy equipment mechanic here. I used to work in remote camps, I totally understand the concept of not just picking up a phone and getting parts. Love these type of videos. Your crew seems to work well together.

Every time I watch one of these I think about my late brother who was a merchant seaman, he would have loved this channel (as do I).

Love your videos as a 75 yo retired marine engineer of steam vessels I enjoy watching maintenance on a big diesel engine

Great video as always! Your team is so fortunate to have such a great teacher as their chief.

Very nice Chief. As a heavy truck mechanic all of the things are very similar. It's interesting that you guys don't use digital Verner's it's something alot of people can't do the greatest me included. I also like the point where you talked about improvising because it's so true and finally about stuff not in the manual. I heard a saying way back when that " Every five minute job is one broken bolt away from a three day job. As always very nice Chief! Take care and stay safe. And dry!!

I work with on highway diesel engines in the US and it is fantastic how much more care you put into a rebuild than caterpillar does

Well done Chief, you have a great crew they. It’s interesting watching them work and how relaxed but attentive they are.

We usually apply grease around the cylinder head where we remove the Valve seat via welding, it helps preventing flux from the weld spark from sticking into unwanted areas

Looks like after the MTM crew has entered the ship it is in better shape then before. 👍😀

Thanks For Sharing Great Videos Ship Engine Overhaul GE on Bulk Carrier Ship.. Bon Voyage n Safe Sailing Chief n all crews. Greetings from Seaman life at Bulk Carrier DL Acacia Panama

That's a lot of work! Definitely the crew has to know what they're doing. Impressive.

Thanks again Chief, once again you have answered all my questions. As a retired mechanic [gas and diesel] I really enjoy watching techs who know what they are doing. That little trick of using cloth to remove piston rings was a good one, really saves wear and tear on the fingers. Looking forward to the next episode.

Again I am fascinated by your indepth and informative aspects of life at sea , keep up your excellent work chief love and best wishes to you and your family Michael Edinburgh Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

As a mechanic I have rebuild several engines from simple 2 stroke to motor cars. So watching this and just seeing these marine diesels is just fascinating. The size of the parts is just amazing but the skills are the same! You're team is awesome and thanks for the insights of life on the oceans

I am amazed at how skilful the engineers are to do this. so insightful keep the episodes coming chief. thanks

Just goes to show, Preventative maintenance saves a lot of time,money and headaches. As both of my grandpas have told me as one is a Aircraft Mechanic and the other is a Machinist that makes tools and dyes. And I myself I’m a truck driver.

This channel is the most interesting channel out there. We get to see the real "ship life" stories!

O-ringed valve seats. Pretty cool. Gotta be a marine application thing.

Brings back memories of my time at sea about 40 years ago doing all the routine maintenance work

Thanks Chief, I am really enjoying this engine rebuild series. I know a bit about doing this but not at this size, very informative.

The small screw that just refuses to turn and the tool that just refuses to work are found in all occupations. The manufacturer/designer of the part and tools seem to have set this up to add a bit of exciting variety into our difficult but mundane lives. Thank you Murphy. Go Figure.

I use the same flashlight for work. Easily my most used and versatile tool I own!

I like chunks of nice shiny metal 😋 . I liked the piston rod. I drooled over it. Does anyone else like the aesthetics of such things ? Am I weird or what ?

Wonderful content. Thank you for taking your time to produce such great videos.

Thanx Chief. As a retired auto technician I enjoy watching. Little larger engine than what’s in a Mustang!! TY

Enjoy the vids chief - I was the manager if a small diesel power station for 34 years looking after 7 generators and all the usual auxilliary plant, however I trained as a marine engineer initially.

Amazing Chief M ;.... the talent pool on board ship to do in depth overhauls like that! Thinking outside of the box is an added bonus!

Another great video, brings back memories for me from many years ago,and good to see not much has changed in the methods and practices, keep the good work up,can't wait to see the rebuild and start up.

Great video once again chief. As a retired mechanical engineer working on large earth moving equipment. It's great to watch skilled engineers. Brings back great memories.

The same as when I did my Ford 400 block. Just bigger. Okay... ALOT BIGGER. Great video, thanks for sharing it!

I always liked how the Himsen's were to work on. Very simple, easy to access most things, and I always thought they had a logical build to them. The H32/40's had a little bit of weirdness (HP fuel pipe into the side of the injector) but not too much. Love the videos!

Watching this engine being stripped down takes me back fifty years to when I was serving my apprenticeship on Birish Railways deisel locomotives. My first job, after a years full time at college, was to grind in by hand all sixty four inlet and outlet vales on a Paxman V16 loco engine.

Brilliant way to remove the rings!

Totally impressive operation. I would expect that in that engine room it is also very hot and very noisy. Thanks Chief!

I enjoyed i learned a lot thanks Chief , i hope i will have great engineers like you on board !!!!

Thank You for the look inside your world.

Worked on smaller outboard Moter great vid enjoyable watching stay safe out there

In the deep past for me, a friend was Chief Engineer on an Australian-registered cargo ship. Yes, a while ago! He described similar maintenance regimes. I served in the Australian Navy as a deck officer, but one of my (small) ships had a complete engine change, unbolt the soft patch and lift out and in, then measure EVERYRHING nd adjust before we poured the seating compound around the engine seats. I still remember the engineers "measuring three times", etc.

Very interesting vlog chief. Gr. Jacob

watching from buraidah saudi arabia

After re assembly and have pieces left over is not a good sign. Good luck and thanks Chief MAKOi and crew. Stay safe

The procedure is exactly the same when writing diesel mechanic trade test like taking measurement etc here in South Africa i love your video Chief i hope one day i will meet you f2f

THANK YOU CHIEF,,VERY INTERESTING..THANK YOUR FINE CREW ALSO..SAFE TRAVELS..

Another great video chief..one bulk carrier I was on had a steam generator..when vessel under navigation they would use steam generator and stop diesel generators..steam came from economiser. A ferry I was on during drydock in Curacao we scrapped down a generator to the bedplate to replace the crankshaft..

wow, the bearings look like brand new

Where I retired from, we had four 4.4kw 12 cylinders emergency diesel generators. I worked in operations and would remove the generators from service and remove the fluids. Then we would turn it over to the mechanics and get out of their way. I would get to see the various stages of the teardown and the rebuilt but was never actually able to see what it takes to do the complete job. I enjoy all your videos.

Present chief Makoi from Zambales

Yes! Lets see more about turbo stuff!

"Thinking outside the box is essential 👍👍🇺🇸"

Excellent videos!! Production quality is over the top, perfect video quality, exceptional narration!

Hy Chif Its verry intresting to see your work Iam work in a faktory for your crankshaft - in the finish control - Grüße aus Germany 🧐😎👍

TheTeam Work is nice to see 😊 .

Nice Job Chief. Your crew's amount of knowledge is impressive John 3:16

I find it fascinating to watch your guys turn a wrench. I was wondering if I could impose on you to do a "tool box tour". Have a safe journey. .

❤thanks Chief! This video brings me back to the days I served at bulk carrier did overhauls! Appreciate!

Fascinating!! Love your videos

Awesome series! Well done Thanks!

Nice video again chief. Brings back a lot of memories.

Thanks, Chief!! Look forward to more videos :):)

The fact that this Video Makes You Want to Watch it Again ,And design of Sploot, it's Just Too Perfect , Hard to stop watching And I don't know exactly Why..

Excellent work gents.

Amazing to watch and learn. Excellent video Chief!

the maintenance performed were all the same with diesel power plant. the only difference were, in the sea, the diesel engine was used for power and ship propulsion but, in a stationary power plant, the diesel engine is used for base load power generation.

Thank you Chief!

always fascinating. So glad i found you

To you and your crew, GREAT JOB!

Great video, Chief.

Great content as always, keep up the good work Chief!

Thanks for the insights! Interesting as always.

Your narrations are always a pleasure.

Thank you Chief Makoi, great video for education!

Thx. Excellent video!

散裝船比較小型的發電機，但構造原理大同小異，感謝Chief Makoi紀錄這個影片，對於輪機員從業者全是乾貨👍👍

Great video and derails. Fair winds and following seas,

very interesting, thanks for videos!

Always interesting Chief.

Thanks Chief!

Thanks chief, great detail and good knowledge there.

Interesting for sure!

Chief u nailed it

Really interesting videos Chief, Thanks heaps.

Look forward to the next one chief

Amazing. Thanks you for sharing this knowledge.

Thank you for sharing be blessed

Appreciate all of your videos, nicely explained and narrated!

Fascinating seeing some of the differences between that, and like a semi truck rebuild, or a V8 gas engine. I’ve had to personally rebuild a few of my engines over the years. It’s both tough, but fun.

Nice trick with ring removal.

Thanks chief very informative videos

Greetings and congratulation for you cheif makoi

Well done chief, really interesting, Stay safe 🙏

Thank you for posting this interesting informative video chief

Fair winds and smooth seas to U all …. Salamat po for a interesting video 😊

Just great video, amazed at what you can do on ship, never would have thought this kind if thing done by crew

Thanks for sharing Sir

Amazing !!!!!!!!!

Great vlog as always! I have learned a lot. I am not very wise when it comes to fiddeling with this type of stuff. Keep up the good work. Be safe!

Equipment in triplicate. A backup for the backup. Gotta be self sufficient at sea 🙂 .

Chief, I have been out of the Ships Engineer Officer game for over 35 years now. Do I miss it?? That is a BIG no !!! Your videos are always great ! They remind me of a different life. Thanks again. Sincerely, Rod
