DISASTER STRIKES! SCANIA ENGINE REBUILD PT1 

Top job! Worked for scania for a spell. Ever since the xpi engines came out they've had liner seal issues. Apparently the liners 'rock' and weaken the seals, then the combustion gasses pass the gasket and melt the top seal. Ive done more than i care to remember but only ever had to get one block cut. Might sound a bit rough but i used to replace the seals and put some grey high temp rtv around the top seals to fill in any gaps caused by a worn block. At the time these were coming up on 1 million k's and nearing the end of their lives. But honestly never had one leak. Definitely the right things doing all 6

Great to see real mechanic in action.

Once upon a time this was nearly every week,sump dripping on head,engine spread accross the bench. Nowdays mainly a tapping stick and a notepad. Looking forward to hearing it run and the rebuild. Great Videos,Happy New year!

Like you I wouldn’t be happy with the finished fit of those oversize liners with the block 😱

Struggler sent me here 👍just subbed👍great video pal 👍

One thing I miss is working on trucks buses are so awkward lol loved the video mate

New sub here, loving your work, your the most methodical and clean worker ive ever seen,. ive been in haulage for 52+ years and helped and witnessed some good and bad mechanics, ive seen some major fails by a few of them to, looking forward to part 2,.."the start up",. cheers pal,...

Same as MAN’s with the fire ring, ground an old one down till the piston fit through then could use a normal ring compressor

friends on tiktok, just come up as a suggested video. now subbed, have to get you over to tinker with a tank one day!!

Excellent video, nice to see what goes into being a mechanic.

Happy New year to you and family great to see you back video Again thanks great video 😂Sean from wexford Ireland 🇮🇪 😂

Firstly, happy New Year you deserve a break I’m not a mechanic I’m a decorator but I love trucks and I think what you do is so interesting and you do everything 100% right a bit like me and my trade loving it keep them coming 👍

Nice job mate. I had exactly the same job waiting for me after the xmas hols. Scania R450 with leaking liner seals between cylinders 2 and 3. Nice to see how someone else goes about the job.

Great videos lad starting following ur videos good look into the trucking world I'm car mechanic in ireland

Great video Ash, good things come to those that wait. That is some engine rebuild mate, how many KMs has that truck done? You say it's going to be a big bill for your gaffa, not half as big if Scania did the job 😮. Looking forward to part 2 👌. Best wishes for the New Year 👍

Great work mate very educational and interesting love these videos keep up the great work 👍👍

Well worth the wait mate looking forward to seeing the rest of the video, keep up the good work ash 👍

I did a 360 113 back in 1995 new liners and piston and 2 months after a volvo FL10 320 pistons and liners .

Happy new year buddy 😊 Great video with some fantastic humour 🤣

Great video mate, helps you learn a lot especially as an apprentice 👍

Good to see you back, thanks for video

When you say 440s were prone to it. Was it any specific years?

Very good vid ash.. its either hardship or your in your element with that job. ☘️👍☘️

When you said you had a mate coming in to give hand I thought bloody hell strugglers coming to help

Great video keep up the great work you put in thanks

On the cold side of the engine is a tell tale hole that runs to below the liner seal get it hot pressure test it and your tell hope this helps.

Happy New Year mate, another great video definitely worth the wait since last one, it was nice to hear you getting a mention on a D & J Projects video for giving them advice on re wiring one of their trailers.

A big job for one man keep on keeping on

Did 4 last year, 450 and 490, block needed machined on all of them.

Wow thats a fair job nice one pal 👍

New upload sweet and it’s in-depth engine tings I love it

Loved your video top man😊

Good see u back top video as normal mate

Top vid always a great watch cheers.

Brilliant video Ash thanks. Great explanations of the jobs and work done. Fantastic generosity from whoever leant you the ring compressor 👏🏻 happy New year and stay well 👌🏻

Good to see the latest 👍

Great video Ash 😊

Forgot all about the fractured rods on Scania , most annoying thing about them jobs is keep having to stop to do defects

Quality fella.great content 👌🏻

Bet that’s not a cheap job !, fantastic job ….

Excellent love this content 👍

Yes Ash been waiting for a new video 👌

Hey Ash great content 👌

Roame wasn't Built in a day keep up the good work the videos are enjoyable and educational

Had a few scania marine engines do this now. If it doesn't do the top seal the liners pit and go pourus. Coolant no doubt a factor but poor design by scania, seem to get more internal work done these little 6 potters than other brands.

As a driver I can drive one but that looks scary all the pipes etc

Scania hasnt made a good 6 cylinder since the 113

What's happened to your posts bud Keep them going, you blood good at what you do

Who is that other guy ??!!!!

So annoying getting pulled off a job that your trying to concentrate on! Your arse will be twitching on start up mush 😂😂💩

truck engines have done it for years, caused by cavitation amplified by poor design. weak antifreeze is easy hard to prove poor excuse from scanny

To here people talk scania is the best truck in the world never breakdown, best drive etc. I'm not convinced drove the old model straight 6 and was not in the slightest impressed. Now watching this and seeing they have liner issues is a joke to me. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't get the hype for a scania at all

Happy New Year Ash. Looks like your mate was right No3 head, Thats the worst thing you can have being pulled off the job that where mistakes are made, Typical Scania problema they allways where a crap engine from the 111 / 141 V8s they had a hole in the block where the water would leak out of when the seals have gone, I can never understand anyone Buying / Paying 30k+ for an over priced Scania in the first place, And if as you say it only done 500 thousand kms what a load of Shite Scania Are, and as for that block it looks fucked to me? Wing are a prayer job lol sell it quick, maybe should have got rid before stripping it down, The Mains and Bigends allways need changeing to keep good oil pressure on the early ones, looks like nothing has change with Scania, We often fitted Fuller 9 speed gearbox in them because their gearboxs was Crap. The Only GOOD thing we found with a Scania ?? Was the DOOR on the Way Out though. We have a DAF 1.5 Millon on the clock all its had is a Clutch at 1m a turbo at 1,4 m Engine / Box / Axle / Brake disc Never been touched, Plus it a much better Cab, Thats proves that Scania are Overpriced CRAP.
