Always nice to see more videos on diesels...thanks for sharing this with us!

I guess you will be checking the head to see if it’s OK. Those Cat’s were bad to damage the heads when a head gasket blew, especially if someone had already replaced the head gasket. We always replaced and put new head bolts in so as not to have one or two that had been over-torqued. Have fun and keep putting out good videos.

That’s a beautiful flag hanging behind you in the shop and I think you might have to give the old time welder a raise great video

[@joeybarth415]

Great to see ya working on CAT

[@ZKMasterTech]

Good work!

[@Toolaholic7]

Does not hurt to check the head for warpness too.Have found head gasket failures because the heads were warped was one reason why.Have redone head gasket jobs because the previous person whom did them never had the heads checked for warpness.Had that same problem,a stuck injector in my dad's 1983 John Deere 410 when the engine was replaced.A pencil style and left it the old engine,replaced it with a new one which was not that much money

Thanks Phil. Enjoyed the video. I like to see semi's being worked on.

Poor kitty cat. Good to see another one of these older engines being fixed instead of sent to the crusher

That head gasket looking like Tareks rear end “blown out” 😄

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I wonder if this is the same Tarek I'm thinking of. Just had trailer-tree-hospital problem last week.
Have a good week Turbo

[@user-ep6wd7ip7v]

God you are lucky that bolt is loose haha

[@montevallomustang]

I wonder how many hours I have wasted looking for a drink around the shop

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

(Need to check with the painters...those guys hid drinks all over the place).

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Do these heads need to go to a machine shop every time a gasket goes? Can the mechanic in the field determine whether milling is needed?

[@ssrepairservices7979]

Milwaukee would have got bolts off better. Lol.
