I'm glad you made the comment for new parts. I wasn't happy seeing the crank like that. You could see material from the flywheel. Just keep in mind the if the crank lost surface area you WILL break that key again. Go ahead,,,, ask me how I know. Safe travels chief and God bless
On the side of emergency i would turn the crank before installing the piston by the bolt at the end as fast as possible and while holding a grinder or some sort of file to get the tapered surface straighter ,use green Loctite if available and get the flywheel hot before install with careful use of a hammer while turning the bolt .Improvising can work if enough knowledge is procured , high seas can greatly improve motivation ,Fair Winds
@@rovidius2006 some tin or a coke can as a shim too can help that flywheel sit tighter on the shaft. I have never been a fan of conical shafts with the half moon keyways but whatever.
Ship troubleshooting is the same process we use in IT. Identify root cause "RCA", determine corrective action plan "CAP", test corrective action, return to service. Its the difference between a well running operation and one with constant failures and breakdowns.
Hi Lorin. I was in IT for decades. Root cause analysis was always a major item. But I have never heard of CAP, although it makes obvious sense. Maybe we just called it a different name. If you go though root cause, CAP makes perfect sense. Best.
@roderickcampbell2105 we typically only used them if something moved to the level of service management calling it a problem. Then as part of the problem management phase we would need to provide the corrective action plan.
Just so you know… the sidewalls of keyways are VERY important. You can see there is damage on the keyway sides on the crank portion of the keyway. The sheeve side of the keyway needs inspection too. There is likely just enough wiggle room for keys to allow movement. That movement has slowly destroyed the key… and edges… of the keyway as evident by the aforementioned keyway damage. This is something we commonly see in machine shops. You need to address that or it will be a repeat issue. Keyways need recut. In some cases you can just rotate and cut a new keyway but you can also fix a damaged keyway via a couple different methods. Cheers mate. Thank you for another great video.
I’m sorry you didn’t get to visit Jerusalem. It’s an amazing place to see. Actually the entire country is one interesting thing to see after another. Hopefully you got to enjoy the Sabbath off too.
@@ChiefMAKOi That’s good news. It’s a totally unique city as the home of the Abrahamic religions. It’s importance in the history of the Western World is up there with any other city. Plus seeing a few thousand years of buildings and such is neat too.
It’s too bad you missed out on visiting. The music & foods there are phenomenal there & of course the religious sites will give you chills with its history. Shalom
Nice work… We had the prelube pump eat itself on our ship recently. The auto-filter caught most of the cast that was ground off (about two kilos I figure) but it drops it back to the sump and the duplex strainer and safety filter did their jobs as well, catching the majority. We’re a ferry service and the down time is noticed by the passengers and the government. The pump has to be custom built so there’s a three to six month lead time… installed a pair of smaller pumps with the assistance of some certified welders to get us through the peak season. Of course, the engine is getting a complete tear down at refit this fall to assess any damage that may have occurred. MAK M32 V16 in case you were wondering. I do love my job 😁
Super Thanks! Sorry I have no money to share, but I do thank you and your crew for delivering important cargo all around the world. Stay safe and have fun!
Hey Chief, very interesting video of the compressor repair. Sorry that you didn't find time for some shore leave, hopefully next time you'll be luckier... :)
Interesting video Chief. It ended up being closer to my trade with the refrigeration compressor repair. I was trained to leak test with Nitrogen before pulling the vacuum. What refrigerant does your system use & do you carry extra for repairs? A video of the climate control system aboard would be interesting too. Stay safe out there.
All your videos are appreciated by me, a humble CNC machinist that has refinished large bearings for Navy to cargo ships. But, I wanted to thank you again for this video, I know not being able to see Jerusalem or any part of Israel was hard on you. But as a true stand up man, and team leader, you persevered with dignity and professionalism. And for that I too am even more motivated in my duties in life when I'd rather do something else at times. 👍
Thanks for these videos and all the work everyone does! I look forward to all of your videos and love seeing everyone at work. Super interesting and very important content.
Great vlog as always! The same thing happened to my MB Vito. The AC Compressor was toast. That was a U.S $ 2000 fix! Well, it is only money. In Norway we have a saying that some people are so poor that the only thing they have is money. Keep up the good work my friend. Be safe!
Woodruff key made of stainless steel will last longer enjoy your videos my uncle was a chief engineer in the merchant navy brought wonderful gifts home to me as a child.
Hola ingeniero! Como te decía el Domingo por el chat: no estés tan triste por no haber podido desembarcar. Quizás te ahorraste algún disgusto. No sólo que por aquí estamos sufriendo una ola de calor sofocante, sino que además tenemos el país patas arriba con manifestaciones, disturbios, mucho malestar. Con suerte, todavía puedas volver y visitar el país en algún otro momento, con mejor clima atmosférico y civil. Suerte!
I noticed around the 11:39 point that someone was wearing a ring while applying the soap for the leak check. When I used to work on industrial/mechanical jobs we weren’t allowed to wear any jewelry while in the shop as it was considered a safety hazard (the jewelry might catch on moving parts, belts, etc. and pull you into the machinery.
Although the bearing journals of the crank looked good, the taper that flywheel seats onto appeared to be worn. It might be wise to change both the crank and flywheel. What refrigerant is used in that system?
Jerusalem an historical site? Yeah, I'd say so... Probably the most important one in the world... You were almost there and didn't get to go - That REALLY sucks !!!!!!
Damn they really did a full overhaul on that compressor Chief n his boys always leave the equipment they get in better condition that they got it in👍🏻 I’d love to work for him
Awesome job. Careers go by at light speed, so grab all the joy you can while you are passing through it. I found mine to be over one day after 43 years and there were so many things I didn't get done. Grab what you can and bring us along with you if you will. Smooth sailing my friend!!
I wish I had more to give you and your team but I haven’t worked since February after being hit by a car and have only a very small income. Thanks as always for the wonderful content Mark
I prefer hand tools for a lot of mechanical work because there's alot less chance of snapping a difficult fastener. Great video!!! What refrigerant is the cooling system using?
I prefer hand tools as well. Mostly due to the fact there were very few power tools back in the stone age. If it had a hand crank on it, it was a power tool! 🇺🇸⚓️
1. You could lap the 2 cones (crankshaft and flywheel. It is difficult, I know, but can be done and it is a kind of permanent repairs 2. you could use "Locktite retaining compound 638" or 603 check it when you have internet. If you don't have it, which I'm sure' use lockthread 3. seams and and punching is not used anymore. Strongly but strongly recommend, don't do it with bearing casing in motors as used to be done years ago.
Thanks Chief! Please add this to the funds. And let the guys know we appreciate all their (and Yours) hard work to keep the world running. They might think no one notices. But we do. And Thank You Chief for making this opportunity available❣️
When you're in the middle of the ocean and all your generators/compressors are broken down, those hand tools will be there to fix them. Can't go wrong with the tools you can trust.
Another good video. Id have to call the repair "iffy". Cant believe you dont have a spare compressor. That crank/keyway/flywheel will fail again. Good electronic detectors don't have false positives like they used to. Good luck
I always enjoy your videos and hope you keep uploading them...I would love to see a video showing all the spare parts you must carry to keep a ship of that size operating. It seems that you must have a full warehouse of extra's onboard for any circumstances that arise! Smooth sailing to you and your crew
Cordless power tool are pretty reliable nowadays, i have 1/2" impact, cheap chinese one, i use it almost everyday for more than 3 years, not a single problem Just need another battery for a spare
Hello chief, good to see your video, would have loved to one day caught up in person , I'm looking forward to my trip in a couple of weeks taking the children to see their grand parents in Mindanao and some of my far relatives in Singapore thanks and smooth seas ahead for your ship
Before the compressor comes apart and you find what happened. - I know that refrigerant blowing through a seal or valve makes a poor lubricant in the crankcase. But loosing crankcase oil, your inspections would have caught that. Or, could just be, broken rings, worn rod bearings. Lot of pressure on those pumps. Wasn't just a loose sheave and the key finally gave way? ~ OK now to find out, no editing - OK, it's been run loose and that taper fit just isn't doing the job. Good bandaid with the thin copper. Should be a good bite!

Hello Everyone!
Be blessed!
So very happy for these videos again, great videos about marine engineering Chief keep them coming.
Till the next port Chief. Have a safe underway.
Aye, aye Chief 😂
Chief can you make a video about what are engine crew do during anchoring
Moral is the most important measure of a healthy crew. You are very good leader
I so enjoy watching professionals at work. No drama, no yelling, just teamwork and detection, to getting the job done right. Great job Chief.

Fair winds and following seas, chief. I only wish that I could sit and hear your sea stories.
Great entertainment Cheif MAKOi . Fantastic job.
What you and your guys do is what makes the world go round. That load helps grow food same were in the world
Wow, Chief, this is down to the metal on metal = the real thing. We love these peeks into your inside world.

Hey Chief next time you're home, help Momma Jenny do another one of her cooking videos will ya? It's been a while and we quite enjoyed them :)

My pleasure!! And thank you!!!
Watching this video from Jerusalem, I wish you come here one day, and I wish myself to see you here!
Thanks
Great story . I like the explanation of why you’d like to use handrails as opposed to power tools. The time lapse ending was visually very good

Chief the proper name of the shaft key is a "Woodruff Key" handy to know when ordering replacements.
Have a safe trip chief
Great video and informative as usual! Really liked the night shot at the end. Super pretty.
