I know it will run , but I have a question for you. I recently switched content , to myself doing my car (my occupation is bodywork) How do you get anything done while shooting footage of you doing it ? I am finding it to be a royal pain in the butt... editing it , well thats even more of a pain in the butt
Kerosene dissolves cosmoline I got a gun years ago coated with tons of it and didn’t know how to clean. My friend said throw the barrel and action in a pvc pipe and let it soak a few days. Worked perfect!
22:03 The loops in the injector lines are because they all have to be exactly the same length so injection timing doesn't get messed up. Takes a certain amout of time for each fuel pulse to go through the lines from pump and get to injectors. So if one was longer than others it wouldn't be perfectly injected ontime. Those fuel pumps are the real magic boxes when it comes to these things! How those things shoot exactly where & how much to each cylinder with ignition advances and all, throughout the RPM range, under loads is crazy. Also i like the " basically witch craft" comment about what happens inside a turbo when you were describing it. 😂 I love turbos, especially diesel engine turbos! The Magic box & witch craft makes me happy!👍🏻👌🏻🚜🛠️🔩🔧🛢️💥💨
I don't think you can go wrong with Rotella T-6 after the break-in period. It's not like this is a high reving race engine or something. Maybe even the Rotella T-5 semi-synthetic would be fine too. I don't think the full synthetic oil is absolutely necessary in an engine like this.
That's right, the exact reason for this is that diesel, like other liquids, is incompressible only in theory, in reality it compresses by up to one percent at the pressure that is normally injected into the cylinder. With pipes of different lengths, this would be enough to cause such a large inaccuracy in the timing that the engine could be started, but it would not rev up - or in the opposite case, it would practically not be possible to start, because it would only achieve regular operation at higher revolutions. The secondary advantage of this method is that as a spare part it is enough to carry only 1 pipe between the injection pump and the injector - in the event of any malfunction, the spare one simply bends and does not need to be shortened.
A well deserved smile again. This was a better one then the tractor last year. The reason why the high pressure diesel lines are bent like that, is to make sure that the length of the line is the same, in a way they have all the same pressure-loss/delay.
21:50 Timing loops. Each line needs to be the same length/volume to minimize timing variation between injectors. Now before somebody says you can't compress a liquid... there is a boat load of entrained air. There is a boat load of surface area of the line that deflects for each injection event. Uniformity improves engine performance.
Normally the Diesel is first delivered to the pump, by opening the various pipes, after having closed them it is delivered to the injectors, so you are sure that the circuit is purged. Good work and to the E' ALIVE!!!
You did way better than okay!!! Awesome job Tyler, well done. All your hard work was worth it for us to share the smile on your face. Can't wait to see your iron earning it's keep whilst working. All the best
What kind of crazy brake-in does this need!? My last rebuild was an International DT466 and the break-in procedure for seating the rings, in my opinion was impossible without a dyno. It was something like 75% load and cycle the cooling fan half a dozen times as soon as possible no idioling or messing about. Start it check for leaks and smash on it!
WHAT GOOD DAD YOU ARE, TYLER ! --- The paint job you did is boss ! -- That timing fixture is armed robbery (without a gun) Thanks For Another Great Video ! SHE SOUNDS SWEET !!
You finally got there. The older stuff usually isn't compatible with modern oils and coolants. There are companies that make the fluids with the right additives so as to not damage your engines and transmissions. Here in New Zealand I use Penrite products but I don't know what companies over there offer the right products.
The loops in the front injection lines is added to make all the lines the same length. This is required so that the injection timing is the same for all the cylinders.
Congratulations on a job very well done. I'd let you work on my stuff any time. I can't wait to see it in the machine and doing it's job. Another one saved from the scrap heap. Huzzah!
The reason for the loot and bins in the line is there identical links, so it gets the same amount of your in each shoulder big Ed coming to you from Central City Kentucky. Have a great day.
I am jealous, I would love to rebuild an old diesel like that. I have an old Oliver tractor with a Waukesha diesel that is stuck we have dumped all sorts of crap in the cylinders trying to free it up. Haven’t spent too much time on it after that. For painting you can use grease on areas you don’t want painted and it just wipes right off.
Thanks to Costex - sounds like a solid runner! "Past nap time" - did he sleep through all that noise? One alternate trick I've heard to prevent a runaway is a block of wood over the air intake. Verifying the fuel shutoff as you did is the best though.
ty, the bends are in the lines to make them all the same length. unlike electricity, the pulse of the fuel takes a calculated time to arrive at the injectors. if the lines were at different lengths, the timing would be different at each cylinder.
They put bends in the line because of the pressure they bend and flex and may fracture if its just a single straight line so hence the bend ie the loop it gives them more strength when under operation
the loops in some lines are for length matching. If some lines were longer than others the pressure would be different and the injectors might not fire from low pressure or fail from too high pressure.
I don"t know how old you are but, I'm thinking you must be my little brother.. Good work by a good man!! Your my new Heavy D. Best wishes and good luck.
My humble opinion on oil, CAT DEO. I won’t run anything but CAT oil in any of my CAT equipment. I’ve had some not so pleasant experiences with other oils. Great job on the rebuild. 👍
And … witchcraft happens… 🤣😂🤣 I didn’t read all the comments, but the reason those lines are all curled around is for two reasons. All the lines are the same length, and the curl in there also helps with vibration, keeps it from vibrating and cracking.
Coincidently I've been working on my caterpillar d6d 4x series with a 3306 turbo DI. Wonderful engines. The small block Chevy of diesel equipment engines. Parts sources worldwide! Costex/CTP, china, usa, Italy, and beyond.
I have watched plenty of your videos thus I offer the following.... Raise the fuel tank above the engine. The engines I have seen you work on do not have lift pumps. They put the tank at or above the level of the high pressure pump and in this case especially you are expecting a pump that PUSHES to SUCK. and that is not the same. In this case you may have started at the bleed screw on the filter and fill it from the top down. I can not stress enough that pulling fluid is not pushing fluid and any air between the pump and injectors stops all flow. cheers. you are great mechanic and raising another one too. Bless you for taking your son to the shop and working with him on an engine NOT sitting in the house watching TV and the net. Keep him away from iphone as long as you can. The net is not on your side when it comes to raising a kid. Go Detroit
Yeah I fussed with it for way longer than I would like to admit before I got the lift pump out lol. But thanks! And the only way I get to work is if he’s with me in the garage or napping hahaha
The high pressure fuel lines on mechanically injected engines are bent so they are all the same length. If they were different lengths the timing would be off.
I remember from my engine building days half a century ago, aren’t you supposed add the break in oil additive after you run your post rebuild oil clean up? The reason being is that it takes a full cycle under pressure and heat for the chemical components to bond into the metal of the engine. If it is done correctly, it will significantly reduce the component wear and increase engine life.
Brilliant job doesn’t matter if jobs is done late as long it’s done right in first place. They one thing when you restore something it’s just like it come off the production line
Nice work and satisfying to watch ..... Mind boggling yet doable for you... even a career should times change and college doesn't go the direction that you studied for.
What all did you do to the engine for it to take nine months. I started on a 955L with a cracked head, pulled the engine and tore it down to the block. New complete head, six power packs, water pump, exhaust manifold, turbo, and bearings. On the afternoon of day 6 had it back in the loader and running.
I googled the loop in the injector lines. Just as I thought it’s to absorb engine vibrations and movement. Thanks for your content, I love your video content. Thanks Tyler!!
I would run the T4 Rotella is small for the older engine was flat tap it cams. The T6 synthetic is for the modern roller game engines. Just my opinion big Ed coming to you from Central City Kentucky. Have a great day.
Sounded good and even. CTP seemed to provide quality parts. No issues, not even minor. They were sending parts to a guy building a 3306 in a residential garage. 6 months is reasonable deliverable. LOL.
I use mystic oil for my 3306c in my dumptruck, Tho I’ve heard once you rebuild an engine it’s best to not use synthetic oil right off the bat not sure how false/ true that is Sweet rebuild btw 👌🏽👏🏽
If you ever want to stop a diesel run away, get yourself a Co2 fire extinguisher. Very effective, more so than the block of wood as you could have an intake gasket leak which will still suck air and keep it running.
Great Job, and...what an excited moment, ALWAYS, after any engine build, when it starts!!!! I feel for you, nice paint job too, one thing, being on Medical Field, I am a Physical Therapist, who builds cars, engines too: Be very careful with your little boy and that Coolant on a floor, he might touch it, and put fingers in his mouth..., you know how poison that stuff is!!! Just be careful, nice job, youtheman !=) Greetings from South Florida, only 97 F ...today =((((((
The pits in the liners are from to much water in the cooling system.The water makes tiny air bubbles and they stick to the sleeve and when they pop they start eating away at the liners and you will actually get oil in the water cause the piston coming up on competition stroke and the small amount of oil that fills the hole gets pushed threw in too the cooling system I had a Detroit 60 18 wheeler do it to me years ago
Well, what do you guys think? Did I do ok?? Will it run??
Of course!
I think the idea behind the injector tubes curl is to get equal length, maybe?
I know it will run , but I have a question for you.
I recently switched content , to myself doing my car (my occupation is bodywork)
How do you get anything done while shooting footage of you doing it ?
I am finding it to be a royal pain in the butt...

Adorable little boy. My son was beside me every day till he started school.
Lisa is counting down the days when she will be able to park back in the garage!!! Nice rebuild!!!
Thanks! And she’s probably given up on that lol

She’s a beaut! CTP for the win. It sounds amazing. You had no leaks because the wife came in for the assist.

+1000 for having your son helping you!!
Excellent paint job.
Thanks! Color turned out pretty nice.
Injection line loops: so that all lines are the exact same length to maintain the timing relationship cylinder to cylinder.
That Power Plant is awesome! You got some Mad skills and mad Patience my friend!
Thanks 👍
Tyler,you are the man!! that turbo spoiling up made my night!! Thanks again for taking us along on another awesome adventure!!
Thanks for coming along with me!

I see that. But later models are not so I’m not sure what it up 🤷🏻♂️
Hi. Basically the turbo is an axial flow jet engine - only different- the hot end drives the cold end - (the compressor) 😮🇬🇧
Are we to ignore the fact the fluid does not flow axially?
Injection lines need to be all the same length that's why the short ones have the bends
good job man, I enjoyed watching since I love caterpillar

Always have a board that you can place over the air intake, that will shut a runaway engine down. that is the quickest way to stop them in that case.
Awesome, great job, thank for sharing, i learn a lot 👍👍👍👍

Equal distance for all lines means the timing is correct for all cylinders. If you think through your theory you have to explain cylinders 4-6.

That’s what I will run then 👍🏻
How u going to pick it up u barley got it picked up in pieces before sounds great
That’s a great question. Maybe I’ll buy a forklift or something
Sounded good and even. CTP seemed to provide quality parts. No issues, not even minor. They were sending parts to a guy building a 3306 in a residential garage. 6 months is reasonable deliverable. LOL.
Fair haha, but I did tell them sooner so they had reason to be concerned. Super cool though I hope I get to work with them again soon 👍🏻
well done. great series

Great work and it runs sweetly 😁
you did it again. Great job
wow bro, it runs perfect 🎉👍👍 Great Job , that CTP spares are amazing 🔧

thanks!
What kind of paint and what color did you use? Looks like a perfect match
I used rust oleum old cat yellow
just a guess but the loops in the injector lpipes is so they are all the same length.
If you ever want to stop a diesel run away, get yourself a Co2 fire extinguisher. Very effective, more so than the block of wood as you could have an intake gasket leak which will still suck air and keep it running.

Awesome Job! My vote is for Rotella T6 and Cat Brand antifreeze. Paint job looks great. What was your paint mix ratio?
I usually just splash it with reducer
Ok, what kind of sprayer did you use? Because I would like to paint my old backhoe. And it is the same paint you used.
Great series, quite a bit more in depth than kt3406.

The pits in the liners are from to much water in the cooling system.The water makes tiny air bubbles and they stick to the sleeve and when they pop they start eating away at the liners and you will actually get oil in the water cause the piston coming up on competition stroke and the small amount of oil that fills the hole gets pushed threw in too the cooling system I had a Detroit 60 18 wheeler do it to me years ago
