Being highly informed on a subject is one thing...but being able to relay that information in a fashion the average layman can understand is a HUGE other thing. You have both and that makes you a master at teaching. What a rare gift. I don't nor ever have had a diesel engine, but have always had a deep curiosity about them. You are a great instructor.

@AdeptApe 7 лет назад

+johnnyohness Thank you, I'm surprised how many people that don't own these engines watch videos about them. Thanks for watching them.

One important point you forgot to mention is "cold settings", meaning run the overhead when the engine is completely cool, room temperature, not after you ran all day and want to get it done so you can have the weekend off,, you know what I mean,, Thanks for all the great videos, people would save a lot of money by subscribing to your channel, and if a tool cost a hundred dollars just buy it,, you'll pay more than that to pay somebody to do the job and you have the tool forever, that's a no-brainer to me Thanks again, you saved me thousands with all the information you give out

Hats off , I watched the video and read comments, and found answer to my problem.. c-15 mxs oil pressure runs from 40 psi to 60 psi depending on RPM 1200 = 40 psi 190degree temp each 100 rpm increase 5 psi in oil pressure It's Kenworth 06. I need oil pump or something else , i ask CAT dealer at last service they said CAT has no set oil PSI could be anywhere 40 to 80 psi but when i found concept u showed main bearings then question is why my oil psi is changing according to RPMs and engine temp , NO Contamination oil sample is good.. please advise

@AdeptApe 8 лет назад

Thanks for the comment. A 2WS should be very similar as the engine in this video. Hope you have success. Inspect your camshaft too while you have the valve covers off if you have a rough running engine.

Good video, my pinning hole was wobbled out, I asked a few guys about that and they figured someone started it with the pinning tool or bolt in it after the adjusted it, so I took the timing cover off because it could be off a tooth on either side, I always get the fun ones lol

I have injector height tool, but find it more accurate to put injector at full downward plunge then adjust injector needle to bottom out and back off 3/4 turn, on detroit 60. I do this because I'm concerned about differences in the block and compression of the bottom graphite gasket carbon sealer, and injectors

@AdeptApe 7 лет назад

+Jaime Garcia Well if you have the oil line and bridges off it should come off. Maybe a dumb question, but have you disconnected the injector wiring from the injectors? The IVA housings are fairly easy to remove, there are no little rods in the housings just a bolt and six nuts. They may be referring to the solenoid Torx bolts, but you don't have to remove them to get the housings off. Maybe just pull the housing off for cylinders 1&2 to make it clear. Wish I was there to help out.
