The amount of broken parts coming out of this engine is shocking. Broken liners, broken rings, broken piston, bad cam shaft. Lifting the engine and inspecting the bottom end is a big job for day 3.

..so, you are doing an out of frame rebuild, while still "in frame"?
Bro love what you're doing for them but YOU ARE KILLING my OCD just caking that sludge on that clean wooden floor, carpet, AND wall paper… Could we not put down a plastic drop sheet or SOMETHING ???? Never thought I'd get the gear head cringe from wall paper lol
Can’t wait for the next video on this boat…..😬
This sealant is a terrible evil if you use it according to the principle – you won’t spoil the porridge with oil, I myself bought an engine assembled using sealant, damn it, it’s everywhere, even under the liners, although there should be copper sealing rings there, the oil pan was barely torn from the block, the oil receiver it was all covered in sealant, the front cover was also covered in sealant, and with all this, absolutely all the gaskets were missing
At least its a nice yacht, hate to have to spend 15k rebuilding an engine if it weren't. Now he'll know the condition of the motor, should be good for another 10k hrs with proper maintenance.
It is totally amazing that even ran !!!!! the head bolts were holding it together !!!!! DETROIT DIESEL YEAH
I guess they just never changed the oil in that beast!!
This is a great work experience for Jonathan.
Terribly sad that the guy bought this yacht with such issues… You couldn't have any better men then these working on this engine…. If there is anyone that can fix it…. it will be these guys…. Doc.
Piston and sleeve rite on the hard wood floor……you mite wanna put some cardboard down on the floors
Was it run out of oil?
Awesome stuff, guys, thanks for sharing. Hey, approximately how many hours are on that engine, you think? Thanks, and Happy New Year !!!!!!
I worked for thirty years as a centrifugal chiller mechanic for TRANE and then went to a Catholic School Board that had dozens of A/C chillers and heat pumps. All the installations were tightly enclosed and any repairs were "one of" disassembly and reassembly nightmares. I got FIRED in the middle of a job by a petulant manager and that chiller never got the rebuild completed even after they BEGGED me to return. I told them I had a new position and I cannot in good faith harm my new employer. My new job was working in false ceiling space doing water source heat pump maintenance for brand new business office towers and no one ever gave me any grief since I worked strictly after business hours in mostly unpopulated space.
It's been 15 years and that chiller is still sitting idle and open waiting for the day they tear the installation down and put up a new high rise in it's place.
I'm retired, at 80 wondering who will service these giant hunks of cast iron and steel when we all fade away.
Love that black diesel oil, not really. Hope to dig into the engine of my 85 Mercedes 300CD that needs to be rebuilt. Should a lot easier than 2012 7 series BMW that I just completed an engine swap on. Engine is a 4.4 l V8 with twin turbos, hot vee configuration.
Wow, there's a lot that went wrong there! Any ideas yet as to what caused all that? The presence of silicone indicates a Hack had been in there… All those broken rings and pistons… Running 15W-40 oil? Am really curious what happened. So I can hopefully avoid it myself!
What’s the repair bill on a job like this? Parts ready available? Labor must be a bear!
I could smell it from here.
I can smell it just thinking about it LOL
You guys are the BEST
Low sulfur fuel these days is hard on all diesels but especially these old ones. I’d be running some fuel additives with lubricant properties from here on out.
Age or lack of maintenance ? Or bad luck .
oh fun you had must not miss this joy not word yep they got rip off that was tow around i will bet house boat is all it was mid eightes that thing whole pile $hit i would just had it tow florida put in duck slip either way still would had remove that motor in parts build with that motor in place
I'm curious about the two bad spots on the cam. Both bad spots look identical in size and appearance & also seem to be identically located on the lobes. Do you know the reason for this wear pattern?
thats why some those ships had put in company would send down parts onboard other ships number one cause lot ships being in port to many people hire capt but never take care motors then its ruined life of old days nice bet those rooms and everthing so nice remodel freedom of coastal trips
i wont ocean line that boat not with now days storms maybe island hopper or maybe river cruiser but still diesel move up and down retired hmm bow to stern should be check soft spot in hull water line
My son foolishly bought a 1987, 74 foot Hatteras with twin diesels. What kind of money is this costing your client?
I take my hat off to you guys for rebuilding this engine in the boat. That’s not for the faint hearted.
………Work for the young and brave, I gave it up at 58yo 20yrs was enough then drove a taxi for 10yrs.
I think it’s great to see you and your son working together. I think the owner has done a pretty good job supporting you so far. I’d love to see the oil filter pleats. I bet they’re shiny. How are you going to clean out the oil system in the block? Really surprised how good the bottom end is.
Looks like in the past yu have been using the incorret oil also that has contributed to the cam wear and pistion ring sticking .fyi
It doesn’t look good from what I can see, but I know that you will get it back better than before…
Is it possible this engine overheated since that one liner is cracked around the intake ports?
I was worried the bottom end was going to be chewed up on this engine.
He's in good hands with the Bus Grease Sea Monkey! Happy New Year guys!
happy holidays to u & u r's, keep the clips coming
So easy to cook an engine in a boat…. One seacock not open, 1 strainer blocked and you have 1 seriously hot engine…..
Nothing like a modern motor. Great to see these engines are out there working. Thanks Scott
The nice thing about liners is you can overhaul the motor without removing the block. Hopefully the block is OK at least….
Are there still many of these Detroit engines being used in the marine industry? How about parts availability? I know you don't see many around in trucks and construction equipment anymore. Neat video.
The gantry should have lateral bracing and the blocking should be cribbed.
