COMPLETE engine removal and tear down of my caterpillar skid steer 246 3034T Perkins Diesel engine 

Thanks for watching everyone. Part 4 will be out as soon as the machinist gets done with my parts. In the mean time. I have lots more for you all

Injection pump should be removed as a complete unit, not disassembled like that. Tolerances inside that pump are extremely small and dust particles too small to see with the naked eye will cause damage and accelerated wear. I highly recommend getting that pump to a specialist to have it reassembled, and while its there have them check its performance, flows, pressures, etc. They could also test the condition of the injectors for you. Another recommendation is to get yourself a Perkins service manual, or the CAT SIS program if that engine is covered in SIS. You will need torque specs along with a host of other details to get it properly re-assembled, assuming you don't want to be pulling it back out of the skidsteer again soon for round 2. Good luck!

Looking forward to the rest of the series! Great job so far!

Hey man I just want to say your killing it with the subs lately, awesome work man I told u you would be at 50k in no time!

Love and content and confidence to jump into a project like this but man it was hard to watch that injection pump being open while you were removing the dirty intake manifold.

I'd recommend getting a Harbor Freight breaker bar, saves the chance of breaking your ratchets with a pipe.

Called it in Part 1! Those engines are notorious for oil pump failures.

29:45 That's the fuel shut off solenoid, they're pretty much the same across all skid steer engines no matter the make, I did two Kubotas in Bobcat skidsteers and the solenoids were good, turned out to be a messed up start relay due to corrosion from the Hawaii humidity Edit: the machines threw the solenoid code but we tried everything until I went to sit in the machine and my boot hit the relay panel cover and I heard a click, so I started the machine and it fired up like nothing happened

should of pressure wash and cleaned it when you took that engine out instead of cleaning it while the engine was still in.. it'll save you less work lol.. since you've already took the engine out.. got more space to do deep cleaning and paint touch up.. sandblast all needed parts clean and repaint them or powder coat/rhinoline them as future preventative wear and tear including all the engine parts.. Use that cheap harbor freight sandblaster it'll do the job.

Might want to clean, and have them look those pistons, and piston rod as over. Especially after you dropped them on the ground unless your going to replace them all

That Mitsu 3000GT though! 😮

put it back together and buy a reman engine. Trade in this one.

People who no fuck all about what they are doing should stay well away from it

When disassembling an engine for example everything you remove should be organized. Main and rod caps need to be orientated the correct way and the correct cylinder ect. Also the part on the back side of the injection pump with a connector is the fuel shutoff solenoid. It extends and cuts off fuel flow. That's how you shut down a diesel engine. I'll give you credit you're not afraid to get in there even if you're not sure what it does or what its for. I'll be looking out for the next video!

Nothing like diving in head first for experience. Keep up the great work 👌

OMG @27:41 why are you pulling the top of the injection pump. This is getting hard to watch. You are going to cause so much work for yourself. Back to watching. Hope things don't get worse.

I really hope u have a service manual man ur gonna need it when u time the injection pump and the valves

The turbo carboned up due to incomplete combustion. Piston ring failure or poor valve adjustment.You should always verify oil pressure when first starting up the motor.

I really applaud u for being so young and doing this work

Thanks for sharing your ability to repair your Caterpillar. many greetings from the Dominican Republic

The letter D on the block is for the style piston and ring. When a block/cylinder is made the cast begins to wear over time along with the amount of casts they make. When ordering the piston and ring a “D”piston should be ordered to match the block unless you resleeve or bore etc. Also not being a Nancy here at all I’m loving these videos. When loosening your head you should break the bolt loose a 1/4 turn in opposite order of install. By loosening the bolts slowly you reduce your chance of severely warping your head. Another thing I advise you to send your injection pump to someone who does that on the regular. Those can be very finicky in a big way. You may need to completely rebuild it now since when you said as you opened the fuel lines parts went flying. If those parts aren’t with the injections port it was with you will have serious problems with your injection pump. They wear in a certain way in each port and if you put it out of order ea injector will not have the proper regulated fuel too ea one. Loving the videos keep them coming. You got a big project here hope it all works out for you. Best of luck

Man how you are going to remember how to put this all back together in 4 months is beyond me..more power to ya, thumbs up, God bless!

Dude I laughed when you poured about 37 gallons of coolant on the ground then managed to get about 4oz in the bucket and said “ok” 😂

It might have gotten some water in the cat engine for your bobcat loader 😢😢😢maybe???

Is it possible to replace the oil pump from the front cover I think mine is bad

40hp skid steer need major engine overhaul @ 4000hrs and 80hp @8000 hrs

Dang I’m tired from watching u do all that work. Big props for jumping in and doing it yourself. U earned my respect.

Vidéo qui montre dès les 3 premières minutes tout ce qu'il ne faut pas faire ! La façon de filmer est extrêmement désagréable à regarder. Les novices devraient saluer en masse...

And MAN!! Please stop saying “broken”. (I just see dollar signs lining up). Wish I had a place with a shop to pull this off!!!!

Mainly subbed because of the puppy. So don't let me down on some content!. Kidding aside. You're doing what I have been dieing to do, and will do someday. Buy a older broken down skidsteer and completely rebuild it. Because 1, I need it. 2, I have never so much as sat in one and want to learn. What better way than tearing it down and redoing it all. So i will be going over all your videos, I'm certain you have a lot to teach me. Thanks man.

Bravo to you young man. Your how most mechanics begin:))))

Idk why u are taking that ip apart. Their are bolts behind the timing cover and it comes right out. You just destroyed that ip. No covers dirty gloves. Little things of dirt get in there just destroy them.

GO TO HARBOR FREIGHT AND GET YOUR TOOLS. THEY WILL REPLACE THEM TAKE BACK IN THE STORE

great video this will be super helpful if we ever have to tear down our skids engine

If there was any more Sears left you could walk in and swap that ratchet out RIP Craftsman/Sears

Looked like that motor was Ran hard and put away wet. Certainly had low oil pressure with all that main bearing wear.

It appears this is a fairly common issue for this engine/oil pump. If you source a pump make sure its a newer version where this issue has been fixed.

Nice video that was a lot of work and you're not even done yet anyway thanks for sharing

Why strip the injection pump they are a calibrated specialist set up item..

Hopefully you are storing the crankshaft on end.

Looks like your crocks are about 3 sizes to big lol

Would you really want this person working on anything you owned, No torque settings used on any parts on the original refitting of the turbo, Every screw nut bolt has been taken out or replaced using a battery powered socket,

Man I’m hyped for this motor to come back

Injection rack for opening each value for individual cylinder which should be in time with each cylinder as it reaches TDC .

Not changing the oil?

Did you ever get this one back together and running? I'm tearing the same motor out of a 257b at the moment. Curious to see how it went.

Dog? Malinois or Ger. Shepard?

3:11 if it has low compression in any of the cylinders it won't burn the diesel efficiently, and the engine will produce more soot. Over fuelling can have the same effect but i wouldn't think that is the case in this situation. Also burning oil, but it depends on what hours this engine has or how much blow by it has also.

Why don't you get a remand motor with a warranty

I'm a united states merchant marine on the Ohio river and the boats we ride on are suggested for major overhaul at 60,000 hrs. But just about every company on the river pushes them to 80,000 hrs.

Like your methodical approach and your know how. Thank You for sharing your skills, technique, and problem solving approach.

looks like sleeves to me also good video man!

Get some work boots

Do a dozer

I’m not sure if you know this but you are super bad A man. I just bought the exact same machine that needs an engine and this helped me a ton! Did you clean the inside of the pan and clean the machine to as clean as it is now? Or was it that clean inside when you bought it? Thanks for making this vid

What happened to this skid steer? U didnt do anymore vids on it?

Kellys is awsome

Well done mate 👏 don't let that engine beat ya 👍

I think the radiator was plugged with clay dust, causing the engine to overheat.

Yes those are sleeves

Heat seaze

I was thinking hydro locked but with coolant not fuel

I would feel like i dove in too deep half a day into this. Good on you for soldiering on.

Great videos 👍

njko brothers fond a complete motor on market place for there

Was there a follow up video on this?

If you have a broken ratchet, weld it up so it dnes not move. Then you have a monster for big screws , and you can get a pipe on the handle for more power.

No part 4?

They sell a lot of rebuild kits for craftsman ratchets online. May be able to rebuild that one

By the looks of the water mark in the adaptor plate the machine has been ordered water

I'm jealous of your tools!

Do you make more videos off the skeed stear ???

This dude couldn’t survive without power tools

All in crocs 😂

👋👍

I’m curious what repair options your machine shop gives you. The spun main bearings will require line boring. With a gear driven cam, that generally isn’t a great option. Possibly they plan to weld the main bearing saddles in the block? Please keep us informed. I have never seen pistons just pounded out and allowed to hit the ground like that. Could just be me, but usually more care is given to protect the rods from being damaged. I wish you luck. I did the same machine/ engine. If I can help, let me know

Where is the video of the engine being rebuilt, reassembled and installed?

THIS, ladies & gentlemen, is how you become knowledgeable about shit in normal life!! “Dive in and learn!” Sir you will be admired! Right on !! 🤨🫤🫠🥹🧐👍😎
