Hi Josh, Is the UV dye suitable for most engines and fuel systems? Also does the oil need changing after it's been added or is it ok to leave it in until it's next interval? Unfortunately it's unavailable from Amazon but I'm now on the hunt for a similar product! Thanks for posting and keep up the good work.. Dave 🇬🇧🤙

That’s one of those situations where as a customer I’d have a hard time accepting that a complete long block is needed only hours after I just had that engine rebuilt. The way you explained the failure and showed the damage is convincing, without that I wouldn’t be a happy customer. The fact that another shop did the rebuild, makes this further controversial. If something was done incorrectly when reassembling the engine, that ship could be liable for the damage. Probably difficult to prove however.

Except if it was air compressor failure that caused this, then it isn’t necessarily a matter of which shop did the rebuild. Josh could have rebuilt this engine himself, but if the cheapskate customer didn’t wanna pay for a new compressor (and oil pump, turbo, anything else oil related), that’s on HIM, not the shop that did the rebuild. Now, could be the shop screwed the install up, but there’s also a chance the compressor gave up the ghost. They usually don’t last longer than an engine.

@speed150mph Жыл бұрын

Let’s hope you do a better job than the “independent” shop that completely screwed up that in-frame. 😅 But in the modern day, the biggest cost in a repair like this is labour and downtime. And that’s not a small block Chevy. You can’t pull a crank out of C-15 in a pete without pulling the engine unless your doing some really sketchy shit. Front motor mounts in the way, plus the front axle. You gotta pull the front structure which is a massive job (but admittedly you’d have to do most of it for the gear repair anyway). How many extra hours of labour are you going to sink in trying to repair that engine as compared to getting a long block? How many more hours is that truck going to sit in your shop not making the owner money while your messing around with it. What else are you going to find while digging into it, especially with the questionable rebuild that just happened?

I have seen two almost identical failures of air compressors on CAT C13s, both at about 530,000 miles. In each case, the rear bearing of the air compressor failed, and the resulting misalignment of the compressor drive gear to the front drive train destroyed that drive train, put debris into the oil pan, oil pump, etc.. On one truck, the repair came to about $10,000, on the other about $15,000. I was told that CAT warranties the compressors on new engines for only 500,000 miles, for what appears to be good reasons. The lesson in this is: change air compressors at or before 500,000 miles - do not wait for the air compressor to fail before putting in a new or rebuilt compressor.

Expensive failure, I would imagine that compressor had to be screaming before it popped. Especially if it was just being serviced, you would think a good tech would have caught that. That's what they get for taking it to 'down the road motors', I always say 'pay me now or pay me double later'. They run off to another shop in search of cheap labor and it boomerangs right back into your shop. Now you get to charge them to do the job right after they just paid to have the job done wrong. Ouch!

Several years ago, young tech installs air compressor and new hoses on a Cat 12 liter. Bearings fail in air compressor within a few days. Young tech replaces air compressor only again. Comes back again, this time air compressor locked up and wiped out gear train. Found root cause of failure, parts department built the air compressor oil line and had a flap of rubber restricting oil flow. Parts said you should have caught it the first time and service department got stuck with a 12K repair bill. Just looked at a rod brg failure that had ten miles on rebuild. Looks like rebuild was done dirty. As you have the failure, appears to have a lack of lube to the air compressor. The two rod bearings don't look like a lack of lube. So if it was a foreign substance, oil filter did not catch it. Could have something after the oil filter. Hate to point fingers, but a early hour failure after a repair, generally leads back to workmanship.

Warrantied by a new dealer. 3 months later the engine smoked like a banshee. New injectors. New egr cooler. Warranty paid again. 3 months of down time they finally pulled the bearings and the second dealer looked worse then these bearings. Top end and bottom end crank bearings were chewed thru. The second dealer warrantied new bearings , replaced a sleeve and rod and piston pack and flushed the engine. No problems since. Point is even the dealers are idiots sometimes. That’s what this guy was probably thinking. Little did he know he made the wrong choice the first time.

Well I would guess the owner spent close to 20,000 on the in-frame that failed. So after looking at the video noticing hoses crimped and pinched Im sure the oil line feeding the compressor was plugged or something starving it of oil and causing the rods to fail in the compressor. So now the owner of the truck will be spending around 30,000 for a long block plus compressor and additional parts. I would hope he goes after the previous shop for cost of their screw up but we know how that can go. If the engine didn’t overheat he might have you roll a set of bearings in it and a new compressor and hope for the best. Either way it’s cheaper than buying another truck to replace this one.

I don't really understand, how a failure like this destroys the bearings so quickly. The chunks from the gear train and compressor of course fall into the oil pan. Then they are picked up by the oil pump, so I can understand damage to it. But then the filter is supposed to filter out anything large enough to damage the bearings. The pump failing doesn't seem like enough "stuff" to completely clog the filter and make it bypass due to overpressure.

Just a question, why do the engine and compressor share oil? Wouldn't it be simpler for the compressor to have it's own sump.

@stanpatterson5033 Жыл бұрын

Just my opinion based on past experience, but from many years ago when an air compressor was a separate unit from the engine, and usually belt-powered, having its own oil separate from the engine was a great way for the compressor to be ignored, either due to ignorance, or apathy. As time went by, truck builders realized that it would be easier to spec the compressor to be included as OEM by the engine builder. When they first started putting diesel engines in trucks, brakes were still juice brakes. As time went by, trucks and GVWR's got bigger and heavier, then truck-trailer combinations meant that juice brakes were not the way to go, air brakes were. So there was an evolution in braking (not all of which I have touched upon here) and how trucks were designed and built. Outboard compressors are easier to swap out in the case of a failure, but also easier to overlook or simply ignore at maintenance time. Onboard or built-in compressors that are part of the engine and share the oil supply, then get the added benefit of guaranteed oil changes, as most folks really don't want to neglect their big diesel engine, given the replacement costs of a complete unit. The only thing I would like to add outside of the above, is that going forward, I would spec higher-output compressors (i.e. more CFM's or cubic feet per minute) mostly on a personal preference basis, if there were options or choices at time of spec'ing out the build.

It would also need its own cooler due to high operating temperature I'd guess

No, then you have to do a separate oil change not to mention that wouldn't have prevented what happened because it was the gear that came apart and tore up the other gears which is where the metal came from

Good question, I was wondering the same thing. Seems like it could be separate unit same as an AC compressor.

Air compressors should absolutely be belt driven. Totally seperate from the engine.

Feel terrible for that customer. Id be willing to bet that shop that did the rebuild was somehow responsible for that. Good luck getting them to admit it, though.

Sad it was just "rebuilt"

Would have been better off just having the shop do it after your diag now going to end up tripling his cost 😬

I mean how drunk do you have to be to only put one bolt in the oil pump? I mean I've been drunk before but I've never forgotten something that important before.
