We’re tearing down the engine out of the crane and found something we did not expect! This video is Part 9 in our Franna crane project and we’re getting the diesel Perkins engine disassembled to inspect all the parts, pistons and cylinders for wear or damage. First, we remove the bell housing and flywheel before setting up the engine stand. We then get on to removing the accessories like the alternator and turbo charger. Then we remove the valve cover, push rods and rockers before unbolting the cylinder head. We continue removing components off the block before removing the rod caps, bearings, cylinder pistons and the crank shaft. It was a good thing we did this engine teardown! Stay tuned for the next part of our project!

Bearing engineer for Cummins here 🙋🏻‍♂️ the sideways scratches on the bearing aren't scratches, but are wear on high points of the bearing. You see it that short distance below the cap because theres a little relief there in the bearings that's there to help accommodate any mismatch in the cap alignment, as well as wall thickness variation in the bearings. You can visualize the bore with the bearings installed as looking like a lemon with the little nipples on each end of the lemon being the little relief on the bearing near the split plane. Overall from what I could see, the bearings looked very good. I've seen stuff like that at 400 hours, but never a quality rebuild. It looks like it was assembled with a ton of dirt and junk in it, and all the crud on the oil pump pickup says it wasn't ever cleaned well after any prior recon work before being assembled, so be cognizant of that going back together and clean out all the oil drillings after machining very well. We use in a lot of cases for engineering builds a chemical sprayer with pentane or white gas, and long bottle brushes to brush and flush all of the drillings. A lot of the piston damage looks like it's been over pressured leading to the head gasket damage. If I had to guess, it's a poor quality rebuild coupled with the fuel system issue and all of the ether used to start it then over pressurizing the cylinders causing the head gasket failure on 1 and 4, and scuff on 3. If you can, I'd recommend at least partially disassembling the oil pump to check on the rotor condition with all that junk on the pickup. Would hate to put it back together and struggle with low oil pressure. Good luck, and reach out if there's any questions I can help with.

I paused when the question was asked about sideways scratches, I'm a mechanic and I don't know, but I knew there would be some kind of expert that also watches this that would be able to tell us exactly what was going on. Didn't really expect the guy that engineers bearings for Cummins, but I'll take it.

@CodycoWeb 6 месяцев назад

Was it me or was there not a thrust bearing in the center main? The block and crank looks machined for a thrust bearing however the insert didn’t have a thrust area on it. The would allow the crank to walk and cause the damage to the rear bearing he saw. Wish he had measured end play before tear down.

My current favourite diesel engines are the Fiat 4 valve per cylinder twin cam units. 1.3, 1.6, 1.9 fours and 2.4 five cylinder. I recently rebuilt a 1.3 that had broken its cam chain at 120,000 miles. The valves are vertical and operated by rockers. Impact with piston breaks the rockers. Cylinder bores were within limits so I lightly honed and used new piston rings. Bottom end was as good as new. Top end had a good clean and decarbonise with new rockers lifters and cam chain. It’s all back together and running really well.

Cylinders 1 and 4 are in alignment on the crankshaft, so they would both have valves open at the same time. The engine probably sat for quite some time and moisture got into those cylinders. Likely not a mechanical issue, but rather an environmental one.

@mikehunt3222 6 месяцев назад

But shouldn’t that aluminum corrosion burn off fairly quickly if those cylinders were firing at all? That might have been part of the starting issue if only 2 holes were firing and the other 2 weren’t.

The exhaust bolt easy removal is down to a cool running open deck non-sleeve engine, and double the size of many manifold bolts. With the grit and sludge, and the particles everywhere throughout the engine it seems certain the oil filter did NOT do it's job. Every friction surface in this engine is damaged such that it will need checking and measuring, and probably replacing or regrinding. The pushrods may be the only survivors. Don't forget the fuel system was also contaminated and damaged needing replacement. Best bet for this crane is to find another 4 pot diesel that will fit, maybe an Isuzu pre common rail.

One thing about this Franna is you will know everything is smick once you get it back together and can be assured of years of reliability. Some interesting finds in the engine so good you stripped it. Kurtis I’ve met some clever, talented people over my lifetime and you are right up there mate, your scope of skills is remarkable as is Karen’s behind the scene work with the filming and editing, advance Australia fair guys, you are a credit to the country

@user-fz6vs4de9m 6 месяцев назад

Brought back memories. I worked for International Harvester industirial equipment, Sport fishing boats using various engines like GM 6-71, Cat, Perkins and of course International construction equip.. The one thing I remember is how it was impossible to get the black diesel engine oil off my clothes and fingers. I admire those that never seemed to get as grubby as I got. Good job

@Paddington60 6 месяцев назад

Have you ever tried rubbing oil or grease stained clothes with Swarfega, green hand cleaner gel? I was covered in crude oil one time and before i jumped in the shower with the swarfega I rubbed several handfuls over my boiler suit. Left it while I had my shower and then put it in the washing machine. It came out a very light brown still smelling of swarfega. Needs half an hour to soak in, then a little more and wash.

There's always a certain "vibe" when tearing down any engine - the "We are going to have to put this back together" vibe & the "We're buying a replacement regardless" vibe. :-) The diesel-pump teardown & this one both have the "These are going in the bin" vibe. :-)

@treemonkey_ma1718 6 месяцев назад

I love the fact that you are going into so much detail! It's going to be extremely satisfying to do something like this so you can have something for a long time and have it as a reliable tool to use. Of course, you worry about the overall expense, but in the long term, you have something reliable

@erneststevenson3872 6 месяцев назад

Your careful and sequential lay out of the parts was a joy to watch. IMO I believe that you are going to best serve yourself by machining the block and head and buying the replacement parts for reassembly. That way you will know for sure what you have under the hood/bonnet. Good on yer, Kurtis! Give the birds a double ration to celebrate.

Telltale signs of the engine in the crane didn't look like a 400 hour engine . Past experience working on equipment made me think the engine either had a lot more hours or a rebuild by someone that did a very poor job or didn't know what they were doing . Price of parts and engine rebuild shops machine work is going to be very expensive . Great video y'all .
