Sadly as a cat tech knowing 3306 marine engines you are looking at a full top end rebuild, rocker arms, rocker shaft, everything. Have the head taken off and from the looks of it rebuilt. Inspect cylinders for rust, scoring. you may also have to pull the oil pan and inspect main and rod bearings, crankshaft journals. Clean and pressure test heat exchangers. ETC, ETC.

@petejolly865

At minute 23 I was dying inside when you started using a chisel to separate the two flanges.

@phy7dop

Hi guys. Very interesting video. I was a failure analysist for a manufacturer of diesel engines for many years. The rust probably won't bother the rocker arms, shaft, push rods, gears, splines etc. They are heavy sections of steel and a bit of microscopic pitting wont hurt. Valve springs however are very sensitive to any kinds of defects, especially corrosion pitting. As these are highly stressed and subject to constant stress cycles the pitting can lead to fatigue failure of the springs. In turn you would be at risk of dropping a valve. I would definitely price up a new set of springs, if nothing else.

@stevenborman9110

In all these videos from the beginning of your journey, Simon really has come out his shell and seems to be enjoying talking to all of us, explaining what he is doing and such. Gemma is just a star.

@purpleom9649

And then the reality of owning such a large boat hits. Don't get me wrong I wish them all the best but the boat is something for people with millions in the bank.

@duaneayers6117

Every time Simon would start these 2 motors. He would have a smile ear to ear. So I'm sure that Simon will have no problem working on them.

@jockmcbroom2774

With one water pump failed, best to examine the other engine. Once bitten twice shy. Also sea water is great for rapidly corroding bearing material, so be aware of any premature bearing knocks. Note others commenting on the painting of the inside of the rocker covers, which is a no no. Paint can dissolve, some types faster than others, and break down from contact with hot oil and get in amongst the oil galleries. Best to lift the cover and remove all paint.

@scottrk4930

Were you not planning on selling this Shop to save 1200 pounds a month ? Has this changed now ? There’s a lot of stuff in that Shop .

@robinstyles9997

My contribution towards the new pump

@nicksearle3677

Also I’m always really impressed with Simon’s ability to laugh at calamity and maintain his calm. Seeing this has made me want to do better when everything goes wrong, which is quite regular in engineering

@jenniferrobinson4277

As an ex navy artificer, I'd say you avoided a bullet by a whisker.

@nicktomlin9137

I've watched every episode of ship happens and have loved them all, but this is the interesting part for me. You can see a twinkle in Simons eye when he has to delve into an engine, even though he knows there's an issue. It's a massive engine. He still knows what he's doing, and it's brilliant to watch. He's learning on the job. Thank God you found the problem now.

@choimdachoim9491

The simplicity of older engines...back when they were fun to work on.

@kensiler9208

I would definitely do a cooling system pressure test to see if the pressure leaks down. You need to make sure there isn't a blown head gasket or cracked water jacket. As you probably already know, antifreeze will act like grinding compound on the bearings. Painting the inside of the valve cover isn't necessary, the engine oil protects it, plus, you don't want the paint coming off getting into the engine and clogging oil passages.

@m1cxf

Well spotted with the leak, Find a local small machine shop. A man in his shed type are best. Probably get the shaft metal sprayed or a sleave made and pressed on.

@williamclay5615

Jabsco are part of Xylem Ltd a big multi national.. the marine pumps are manufactured in Hungary and Mexico , they sell service kits and parts which could potentially allow you the option to rebuild you pump ( i saw Jabsco name on the side of your pump ...dont go to Caterpillar they will put 250% mark up or more !

@4437RR

Gained new respect for Simon and his abilities 😮.

@Garymt123

Going to really enjoy watching Simon getting this engine repaired and then getting it purring like a kitty Cat 😊

@user-hh2xb3yr2g

Cat marine have raw water going through the heat exchanger then the oil cooler next the gearbox oil cooler and finally out the exhaust so you may like to check the oil cooler Simon
