- Over the past few days, we have managed to dismantle, inspect, measure and recondition the various parts of the generator engine.
However, something unexpected happened...

Congrats to the third engineer. We see him take charge alot in these videos. He deserves special recognition.
Thanks for pointing him out. I knew he looked familiar.
well yeah i mean isn't the third engineers always in charge of the generators? :c
Love how the glasses balance on the end of his nose.
I kept thinking "I've seen this guy before! He's always in the sht getting dirty and hyper focused on the job. He don't clown around. that's a guy you want on your team.
@@singaporeseaslugs1393 no, on dutch flagged vessels there are no separate responsibilities.
Thanks chief and crew for showing us the important day to day operations in the engine room. We see ships moving in the water or at a port all the time, but you hardly ever get a look at the many systems which get it from point A to point B and back. Watching from NC USA.
I live in a port city in Western Australia, and this afternoon, I watched a bulk carrier come into port. I was thinking how great it is that Chief puts out these videos that explain the crew's perspective and experiences.
Being a port city, it used to be easy to spot who was crew off a ship, as they would walk around town together in a group of 5-10 people. Sadly these days, with Covid-19 security restrictions we just don't get that anymore.
So Chief, just wanted to thank you for doing an important job by giving a voice to the common merchant sailor.
they have recently started letting them out in vic again. seen a few in the supermarket recently. (can always spot them, they are the asian guys with trolleys full of snacks)
@@katelights Yes I used to live 5 minutes walk from the harbour, you could always tell a ship crew, and often I would see them walking, and some also would ask for directions to entertainment, of all kinds. But also had a fair share of them coming back rather damaged, they chose the wrong type of entertainment.
@@katelights 😛snacks, chocolates and some gifts for our families at home and onboard ship. Yea shore leaves are allowed nowadays.
The gentleman with the glasses clearly knows his stuff. An asset to the crew.
It isn't complicated......
What a professional crew onboard, Chief must feel 150% confident working with them.
Taking us where we've never been, to see things we never imagined. Thank you! This was an excellent series. Safe travels to you and your fellow crew!
Awesome! Thank you Chief for sharing this with us. In the US Navy, we had 16V149TI's(Stewart Stevenson/Detroit Diesel, intercooler was blanked off) that we did not overhaul. Obviously maintenance was performed, but never disassembly. Holy Hannah, I've been out since 1992 and can still remember the damn nomenclature!
Detroit... junk.
Thank you Chief Makoi!
I’m not even from the shipping industry and i love watching all your videos. You do such a great job filming and describing what’s going on. I can’t wait for your videos to come out everytime!!. Everytime a video is uploaded i know you’re in some dock somewhere in the world!
Let your engine room team know they are all high standard folks!
As a marine eng student I have learnt a lot from these brief yet very informative videos. Thanks a lot chief!
Chief this was awesome very educational and well done. As I said you must have been one hell of a instructor at the academy and one hell of a good Chief. From what I have watched and Captain would be blessed to have you as a Chief. Fair winds and following Seas Chief.
You have a very knowledgeable hard working staff you must be very proud of them!
Who made that generator set and what model is it?
The depth of knowledge and attention to detail required to do this work consistently well is astounding. The importance of not becoming complacent and the need for constant recurring training... wow. You and your crew are amazing thru and thru. No room for duds on board a ship. Thank you for showing this stuff Chief, love every minute.
That actually looks kind of fun...working on such a large machine with a great group of guys you get along with. well done, Chief and crew!
A perfect example of why you need 3 working generators on a ship. They're just too important.... Great video as always, Chief. Makes me wonder about my own career choices. I've heard good things about Pinoy crews, that they're great guys to work with- friendly and smart as hell.
The world just got an education from the Dali about how important it is to keep the ship's generators running.
As a native English speaking, white degenerate from Canada - I seriously have to, and continuously, applaud the ability of other cultures to work so fluently, hand and foot, standing on top of each other, like an incredibly well oiled machine. I’ve worked in many industries - manufacturing, maintenance, construction, and now running my own machine shop. I can assure you, it’s always “every man for himself. I do not possess the cognitive and emotional ability to work with another individual where both our minds are nearly connected in such a way as other cultures - much like yourself - do. Hats off…
You can see there a crew who knows what to do, and also that they trust each other to do absolutely the correct thing as well. You just need to make sure the adjustable nut rounders vanish, as there should be a set of tools to do valve clearance adjust for those engines, as that is very common to need to do after the first 500 hours of running as maintenance. But very nice to see all fasteners that are critical got tightened to a torque, even though you can get to pretty close to correct with experience in just how much force to use.
I've rebuilt engines but nothing on this scale! Great!
Another interesting video Chief
Awesome video.That 3rd engineer looks like he knows what the heck is doing. I bet he could tell some stories!
Good news to you from KNIGHTS SHIPS. Amazing video Thank you very much. God bless you
Good job guys! When I was a Mazda tech we had to adjust valves on the 626 every 30,000 miles. I used the go/no go technique. If clearance was .010” for example you us .011” & .009” feeler gauges. It worked every single time & never a valve tap. Just had to be done on a hot engine… not cold. Customers were happy their engines were quiet.
Thanks for that series, it was very interesting to see how things are done on board a ship. I'd really be interested in more of that :)
Thank you sir for your dedication and willingness to make this vlog in order give us paramount understanding and overhauling of generator engine quite easily in port .Mainly with the help of effortless crews working in the engine room, they have done every single maintenance and assembly smartly. personally I appreciate this brief video, keep going wonderful seafarers. I'm also recently graduated to work as an Engine cadet in near future and this is special video to see before joining.
Thanks for sharing Videos,are VERY important for My i love the Marine Engines💯👍🏾
I said it in a previous video but it's really neat seeing how well coordinated the whole effort looks, surprises and all. It's out of your genre but I would absolutely watch a few videos about how things like this are planned and prepped for.
You could make taking out the trash interesting, Chief! As I've said before, I'm looking forward to your documentaries when you retire. Until then, I'll continue to enjoy all you post until then. You rock!
What a great crew! You and the ships engineering crew can be proud of the good work you do.
Great job, great show, great team.
Excellent series, Chief. I will be bookmarking this one, and I look forward to more like this. Congrats to you and your team on a job well done. Editing & presentation was top-notch too.
Thanks for sharing. I just found your videos they are great and full of information.
By doing these jobs while under way also makes the passage time go faster as well!
And as well as everything goes right it keeps morale up and boredom away also!
Chief just a small reminder, don't tolerate them using incorrect tools such as adjustable wrench most specially the adjusting screw for the valves... Thank you!!!
You must refer to maker's manual for the proper tightening torque..
Great job Chief! You are a credit to your company, showing how meticulous you are in keeping things running smoothly. I hope they know that you are a huge PR asset to the business, as well as a fine, inspiring engineer and seaman yourself.
Thanks chief I am looking your all video's. I learning every day looking your videos
Nice finish!
Everyone looked happy to have completed the overhaul.
I'm a country boy in a valley, a long ways from the sea. But I miss my Navy days, being at sea and some of the challenges it presented. The years of youth are indeed fleeting!
Keep us in the loop Chief. How's the fuel situation for your ship by the way?
Later, be fafe, enjoy life, keep the memories!
Brought back memories for me of overhauling Mirrlees Blackstones generators at the small power station I was chief engineer of for 34 years. We did it exactly the same as your guys. Never had a serious mech failure in all that time and the 3 oldest sets had over 100,000 hrs on them and are still stand by sets today.
You have a winning team Chief.
Yeah you can see they all work well together.
Love watching your videos congratulation to your team for a job well done if I was 40 years younger would love to have a chance to have the challenge working on something that big being a mechanic great job guys.
Fantastic thanks for showing this series Chief Makoi. 👍
Job well done. It was verry interesting on how the connecting rod connected to the crankshaft. Neve saw a connection rod in two separate parts. I truly enjoy watch.
The quality of work is proportional to the happiness of the work force, and that's mainly down to the boss. You either have to like your boss or admire him. Both is better but neither means disaster.
Another great video Chief..One ferry I worked on during generator emergencies we had to run one main engine in port to use shaft generator.
The crew is great, and they are fortunate to have a chief like you. Thank you again for the videos!
I have rebuilt a number of engines. What amazes me is that you carry all the parts and specialty tools necessary to complete the job without shore support.
60 hours I can believe it, it went smoothly well done men
With 5 men, so 300 man-hours.
loved the series chief, very professional work and must be so satisfying to see the engine come back to life
thank you for taking time to shoot, edit and explaining various steps during the compression ignition engine overhaul....
Nice that your team doesn't mind being recorded. Looks like you have a great team.
Your Third Engineer missed his calling... He looks like a MANGA Hero ...
😊 I enjoyed watching your work thanks
I've said it before... Your crew is amazing and the boat is well taken care of. I hope you all have great holidays and Merry Christmas! God Bless and love to all from central Texas.
I just discover your channel Chief. And I have to tell you, your content is amazing and it’s an inspiration for me as a recently graduated mechanical engineer to watch your amazing work. Thank you for sharing.
Your videos are the most relaxing and educational at the same time,thanks for sharing.
Fantastic job Chief

Good video. Thanks Chief.
Great job, well done all involved.
Love the big diesels; thank you for the detailed videos !
Great job Chief. Keep it coming. And congrats to the team.
Its so funny, adjusting valves is the same in big engines the same as small
Beautiful workmanship .
💪😎 great work team
Thanks, Chief Look forward to more videos!!
So nice to see it up and running Chief...
Nicely done video as we have come to expect and enjoy. Thank you chief.
Job well done!
Yo this is so cool. Good to watch competent engineers at work.
It’s called teamwork ! Job well done !
Great job team! Calm seas be yours.
I enjoyed this very much. Thanks for posting it. Job well done Congats to your crew, and you.
Great vlog as always! I learn something new every day! Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Good job! 👍bye from Italy !
Great effort from you guys, don’t lose hope, always stay cheery, good one
Excellent series! Keep up the great work.
The flashlights you gave were definitely very useful in the Engine Room. 😊
That’s one hellava crew you have there Chief!
Thank you, Chief!
Great vlog series chief, congratulations to all you're hard working team. Stay safe 🙏
Another amazing episode…thanks. Excellent perspective on the attention to detail needed to properly plan and execute the corrective maintenance actions. Big job with significant consequences for failure to comply with controlled reassembly, and sequential quality assurance requirements. Carry on!
I enjoyed that very much, Thank you!
The Generator parts are all nice and clean now, new parts fitted, and it's working. Job well done guys 🙂🙂! You must be feeling very satisfied.
Chief Makoi , as allways I enjoy watching your vidoes , they are very ediocaitonal and informative , although I quit sailing 30 years ago I love to watch your vidoes , keep on
Wow Chief Makoi and team that engine will be tip top for a long while.
Could eat a dinner off them pistons.
It just goes to show some times having 3 of something isn't enough (though having one generator engine being overhauled & another failing is probably rare, I expect it would be even more rare for a 3rd one to fail. I understand the hast to get the Turbo repaired though, cause ya just never know. A great job by all & it's very interesting to see how you not only achieve what is necessary with limited tools & equipment, but also how well you all work as a team. Well done!! 👍
My respect to the 3rd Eng. GOOD JOB SR.
Good job Chief 👏 👍 and to your team 👏. Looks like every assignment ship 🚢 you go to, you leave it in better 😉 working 💪 condition.
Stay safe, looking forward to the next Port of call.
Richard Bause
Good job everybody!!!👍
thanks for sharing great great 1.2.3. videos good job excellent cpt lilo
Happy Thanksgiving to you all
Very simple engine, and I saw some clever designs in it. The biggest problem was the scale, but some of those processes have been used for over 100 years. like lapping the valves, or slathering oil around for assembly. Found myself saying, 'I can do that.'
good job man
Thanks Chief!
well done!
Job well done chief! gr. Jacob
Those rocker arms are hilarious! I have done some tappet lash adjustments before and could not fit my hands and feeler gauge in at the same time. Your guys don’t have that problem.
Third engineer seem to be the man !
OUTSTANDING
Your crew are very professional! Pinoy Power
