How We Rebuild Our Caterpillar Dozer Diesel Engine || Repairing CAT Dozer Engine in Local Workshop #rebuildingcaterpillardieselengine #catdieselenginerebuild #repairingcaterpillarengine
The homemade bandaid on dude’s finger was just the icing on the cake!! Love these vids. And I bet that they hold together better than most people think??!!
These old Cat engines are really tough and easy to work on. They would often break the R/H motor mount bolt off. I repaired many of them over the years.
@@budcunningham6732 Ok so what are they supposed to do when something breaks down...sit around crying and praying to Santa Claus or the tooth ferry or God to suddenly send the correct tools and spare parts out of nowhere?....these are real men they just get on with the job with what little they have...respect!
Adoro ver esses videos dos indianos trabalhando em motores. Nao usam torkimetro. Tudo manual e a coisa funciona. Prova que muitas vezes nao tem a necessidade exageradas de especialistas. Ja abrimos varios motores no sitio desse mesmo jeitinho deles uns 30 anos atras. E nenhum deles depois de realizado esse servico deu prego.
There will be a lot of criticism, but the bottom line is how well and how long does it run when their through, the reason they don’t use things is , they don’t have them. There’s way more to using a torque wrench than making it click or beep, most people on RU-vid don’t have a clue.
Actually if you 100 lbs on a 1ft lever you have ........100 lbs/ft torque. Its not complicated, they just have to find a guy the right weight to stand on a lever the right length.
I’m not a mechanic but I think these guys did a great job. Working conditions in parts of India are horrible so I give this group a lot of credit for a huge job.
Tools and equipments are behind but skill wise they are marvelous. Safety down. Smoking 😂 while working might burnt the whole workshop and no safety shoes 😮😢. But of all, with no sophicated tools, they still can do the job.
People talking about torque wrench and other big terms have never seen life beyond a company showroom or company workshop. They don’t know that many of these uneducated mechanics are far better than educated engineers. They think out of the box. I am from India and we have a lot of road side mechanics and shops who do a far better job than big workshops , at a fraction of the cost and the end result is also fantastic. They are reliable and people go to them by choice.
A lot of the factor is the fact that they have the desire and want to complete the job and get paid that counts a lot that they want to get it done and not make excuses
…these Guyz make do and under the circumstance illustrate unique skills and tenacity It is hugely fascinating and immensely admirable They show endless dedication and courage, and the Teamwork is inspirational beyond compare GREAT STUFF‼️ 👊🔥 🪖
im amazed at what us people can achieve, these old Cats are phenomenal and these guys definitely know what they're doing never saw an engine rebuild happen outside but I guess they get stuck into it before the elements have a chance to ruin the work put in love this stuff
I have two huge rollaways full of beautiful tools I wish I could send it in a shipping container over there and go in business with these guys with some modern tools and get a nice huge workbench and heavy duty table to work on and get off the floor with 1 inch steel workbench
Looked like they used some very thinned out ATF on the crank bearings. . Coulda been mistaken for Sriracha chili sauce too. I’m sure it was Cat approved so it will be ok. 😂😂😂
Have the techs ever considered using a torque wrench ….they have grossly over torqued the rod bolts and have no real idea of the main big torque…I’m not trolling them as they are doing a decent job….but honestly after the labor and parts invested the proper torque is needed to insure your work is not in vain
You can do with what you have available to do the job ! Like auto machinery if you don’t have it you must do with what you have the best way you can do !
Good enough and good and tight does not apply to critical tolerances can't believe these people take on these types of engine rebuilds they will never last
Washing a new rod bearing in extremely dirty solvent @ 26:29 doesn't exactly inspire the confidence this engine will have much longevity. Also the concept of ratchets and torque wrenches seem to have bypassed these people.
@@Chisos1 I agree they're lucky if it will last a day running if that but it said the amount of Labor it took to take the engine out and do this whole job in an unskilled way was pointless
I'm not a master engine rebuilder but I've rebuild a good 50 to 75 and I'm pretty positive you are supposed to use even pressure when tightening main caps
G'Day Is thet a cat D353 if so I use to work with 4 D379s on a sand dredge in Lakes entrance vic Australia they are the best engine that I have worked with all my life PS I am a marine engineer retired. Cheers Rory
One has to wonder I could spin the crankshaft so it's okay so the bearing clearances a fine yeah right no plastic gauge how do you know what the tolerances are to float the bearing looks like they're going to be building this again
The negative comments on here need to be ignored. These are made by armchair mechanics. The work these guys are doing here is just as good if not better than any European or US workshop standards. This particular company have rebuilt hundreds of Cat engines without issue and have more experience than most. If their work was sub standard their engines would have limited life or let go. They just don't. They rebuild these Cat motors to go on to do many thousands of hours further work without issue.
Essas são as condições deles trabalhar,o que não podia ter aí era os caras trabalhando com uma Esmerilhadeira enquanto eles montavam o motor,contamina demais
Não usam torquímetro para o torque de aperto dos parafusos dos mancais do virabrequim, capas de bielas e nem principalmente nos cabeçotes. Nunca vi usar cola na junta do cabeçote.
