Seaman Vlog
I continue to be amazed at the depth of maintenance performed at sea! I'm understanding more as to why there must be redundancy with systems. A ship is it's own self-sustaining island. A realization to folks like myself who've not been in the bowels of a ship subjected to the mechanical aspects. Sure I think, there are engines, generators, water makers, and other pieces that keep everything going... I just never realized the immense responsibility of care and knowledge that goes into the upkeep! Thanks for another great video! Stay well, stay safe!
I'm thinking the same thing. I expect to see work like this done at dry dock. I don't know what these guys get paid but I have a feeling that it's far lower than should be given their expertise.
Some boats get maintained like garbage trucks. You're seeing the cream of the crop.
Retired heavy equipment mechanic here.
I used to work in remote camps, I totally understand the concept of not just picking up a phone and getting parts.
Love these type of videos. Your crew seems to work well together.
I don’t think DHL, Fed Ex, or UPS deliver out there. 🙂
My salute to all seafarers working away for their family ♥️
Very nice Chief. As a heavy truck mechanic all of the things are very similar. It's interesting that you guys don't use digital Verner's it's something alot of people can't do the greatest me included. I also like the point where you talked about improvising because it's so true and finally about stuff not in the manual. I heard a saying way back when that " Every five minute job is one broken bolt away from a three day job. As always very nice Chief! Take care and stay safe. And dry!!
You get an extra digit of precision with vernier over digital. One more then the specs they give you so you can make a more informed decision. But for a fast turnaround shop it's probably not worth it to spend the extra time decoding those for every mesurement.
@@nick4506 Exactly it just seems in this day and age quantity over quality is the norm. Ty for your response 👍🔧
@@nick4506 I have no idea what brand calipers you are using, but on my Mitutoyo's it's the other way around. The verniers have a resolution of .001" and digitals have a resolution of .0005". More importantly, neither have the precision for this type of measuring: It should be done with micrometers.
@@EDesigns_FL digital measurement is only for factory processes. Without interpolation, digitals are toys.
Love your videos as a 75 yo retired marine engineer of steam vessels I enjoy watching maintenance on a big diesel engine
Every time I watch one of these I think about my late brother who was a merchant seaman, he would have loved this channel (as do I).
Great video as always! Your team is so fortunate to have such a great teacher as their chief.
I work with on highway diesel engines in the US and it is fantastic how much more care you put into a rebuild than caterpillar does
I couldn't have said it better 👍🇨🇦
Note that at sea if there is a breakdown you can’t safely pull over to the shoulder, make a phone call and expect help in a couple of hours. They are overhauling the backup generator that is the backup to the running generator.
The British Motor Corperation (Red Ken shop steward fu*ked the Chieftain tank engine). They should have been castrated. So many had been butchered on assembly. Every single engine we had to strip and rebuild and what they had done was appaling. Not exactly nice to know you have the same problem across the pond as you say.
You should see what happens in aviation..
@@bunkerhill4854 - it’s the third generator. One in service, one as backup, one in overhaul.
Well done Chief, you have a great crew they. It’s interesting watching them work and how relaxed but attentive they are.
Looks like after the MTM crew has entered the ship it is in better shape then before. 👍😀
We usually apply grease around the cylinder head where we remove the Valve seat via welding, it helps preventing flux from the weld spark from sticking into unwanted areas
Yes, same here.
Thanks For Sharing Great Videos Ship Engine Overhaul GE on Bulk Carrier Ship.. Bon Voyage n Safe Sailing Chief n all crews. Greetings from Seaman life at Bulk Carrier DL Acacia Panama
Thanks again Chief, once again you have answered all my questions. As a retired mechanic [gas and diesel] I really enjoy watching techs who know what they are doing. That little trick of using cloth to remove piston rings was a good one, really saves wear and tear on the fingers. Looking forward to the next episode.
That's a lot of work! Definitely the crew has to know what they're doing. Impressive.
As a mechanic I have rebuild several engines from simple 2 stroke to motor cars. So watching this and just seeing these marine diesels is just fascinating. The size of the parts is just amazing but the skills are the same! You're team is awesome and thanks for the insights of life on the oceans
Again I am fascinated by your indepth and informative aspects of life at sea , keep up your excellent work chief love and best wishes to you and your family Michael Edinburgh Scotland 🏴
This channel is the most interesting channel out there.
We get to see the real "ship life" stories!
I am amazed at how skilful the engineers are to do this. so insightful keep the episodes coming chief. thanks
The small screw that just refuses to turn and the tool that just refuses to work are found in all occupations. The manufacturer/designer of the part and tools seem to have set this up to add a bit of exciting variety into our difficult but mundane lives. Thank you Murphy. Go Figure.
Its almost as if they invested heavily in "easy outs" and then designed un-turnable screws.
@@kennyc587 ...and lowered the production volume of good "easy out" kits. Most of the time, my "easy out" kit consisted of a steel hammer, a cold chisel and....the all required few, if not many, choice words.
I love this, brings back wonderful memories too
Thanks Chief, I am really enjoying this engine rebuild series. I know a bit about doing this but not at this size, very informative.
Just goes to show, Preventative maintenance saves a lot of time,money and headaches. As both of my grandpas have told me as one is a Aircraft Mechanic and the other is a Machinist that makes tools and dyes. And I myself I’m a truck driver.
Brings back memories of my time at sea about 40 years ago doing all the routine maintenance work
Enjoy the vids chief - I was the manager if a small diesel power station for 34 years looking after 7 generators and all the usual auxilliary plant, however I trained as a marine engineer initially.
Wonderful content. Thank you for taking your time to produce such great videos.
Amazing Chief M ;.... the talent pool on board ship to do in depth overhauls like that! Thinking outside of the box is an added bonus!
I always liked how the Himsen's were to work on. Very simple, easy to access most things, and I always thought they had a logical build to them. The H32/40's had a little bit of weirdness (HP fuel pipe into the side of the injector) but not too much. Love the videos!
Great video once again chief. As a retired mechanical engineer working on large earth moving equipment. It's great to watch skilled engineers. Brings back great memories.
Thanx Chief. As a retired auto technician I enjoy watching. Little larger engine than what’s in a Mustang!! TY
Another great video, brings back memories for me from many years ago,and good to see not much has changed in the methods and practices, keep the good work up,can't wait to see the rebuild and start up.
I enjoyed i learned a lot thanks Chief , i hope i will have great engineers like you on board !!!!
I use the same flashlight for work. Easily my most used and versatile tool I own!
watching from buraidah saudi arabia
The same as when I did my Ford 400 block. Just bigger. Okay... ALOT BIGGER. Great video, thanks for sharing it!
One of their pistons, probably weighs as much as your Ford 400 crankshaft.
Another great video chief..one bulk carrier I was on had a steam generator..when vessel under navigation they would use steam generator and stop diesel generators..steam came from economiser. A ferry I was on during drydock in Curacao we scrapped down a generator to the bedplate to replace the crankshaft..
Damn. That must of been "fun". I guess the next step was simply melt down the engine and reform a new one. 😉
@@SpaceCadet4Jesus When I was sailing I used to think of work as a vacation..getting paid to see the world..been to 54 countries and 7 states in US
@@trevden7665 A PAID vacation at that, that's how it's done. 👍
Totally impressive operation. I would expect that in that engine room it is also very hot and very noisy. Thanks Chief!
After re assembly and have pieces left over is not a good sign. Good luck and thanks Chief MAKOi and crew. Stay safe
No, it's good. Leftover pieces, it's been found, have been secretly put inside the engine by manufacturers as head scratchers for mechanics. Keep them on their toes and adds needed excitement to their otherwise mundane and boring lives. 😁
Collect enough pieces and you can make an attractive wall clock, or unique paperweight....you know..
O-ringed valve seats. Pretty cool. Gotta be a marine application thing.
Thank You for the look inside your world.
In the deep past for me, a friend was Chief Engineer on an Australian-registered cargo ship. Yes, a while ago! He described similar maintenance regimes. I served in the Australian Navy as a deck officer, but one of my (small) ships had a complete engine change, unbolt the soft patch and lift out and in, then measure EVERYRHING nd adjust before we poured the seating compound around the engine seats. I still remember the engineers "measuring three times", etc.
Very interesting vlog chief. Gr. Jacob
Worked on smaller outboard Moter great vid enjoyable watching stay safe out there
散裝船比較小型的發電機，但構造原理大同小異，感謝Chief Makoi紀錄這個影片，對於輪機員從業者全是乾貨👍👍
Present chief Makoi from Zambales
Brilliant way to remove the rings!
I find it fascinating to watch your guys turn a wrench. I was wondering if I could impose on you to do a "tool box tour". Have a safe journey.
.
Excellent videos!! Production quality is over the top, perfect video quality, exceptional narration!
THANK YOU CHIEF,,VERY INTERESTING..THANK YOUR FINE CREW ALSO..SAFE TRAVELS..
I like chunks of nice shiny metal 😋 . I liked the piston rod. I drooled over it. Does anyone else like the aesthetics of such things ? Am I weird or what ?
Great content as always, keep up the good work Chief!
The procedure is exactly the same when writing diesel mechanic trade test like taking measurement etc here in South Africa i love your video Chief i hope one day i will meet you f2f
Where I retired from, we had four 4.4kw 12 cylinders emergency diesel generators. I worked in operations and would remove the generators from service and remove the fluids. Then we would turn it over to the mechanics and get out of their way. I would get to see the various stages of the teardown and the rebuilt but was never actually able to see what it takes to do the complete job.
I enjoy all your videos.
Nice Job Chief. Your crew's amount of knowledge is impressive John 3:16
Yes! Lets see more about turbo stuff!
Nice video again chief.
Brings back a lot of memories.
Amazing to watch and learn. Excellent video Chief!
TheTeam Work is nice to see 😊 .
Always interesting Chief.
Watching this engine being stripped down takes me back fifty years to when I was serving my apprenticeship on Birish Railways deisel locomotives. My first job, after a years full time at college, was to grind in by hand all sixty four inlet and outlet vales on a Paxman V16 loco engine.
You mean lap.
Your narrations are always a pleasure.
Great video, Chief.
To you and your crew, GREAT JOB!
Fascinating seeing some of the differences between that, and like a semi truck rebuild, or a V8 gas engine. I’ve had to personally rebuild a few of my engines over the years. It’s both tough, but fun.
I’m fascinated that every wear item is independently replaceable - guides, seats, liners, etc…. It’s like it was made to be worked on and reconditioned, not discarded like consumer grade garbage. 😁👍🏻
Road motors can be rebuilt like this but you'd chose to redesign them for reliability.
@@nmccw3245 I find it fascinating they were checking the old bearings. If they can reuse those, that’s insane.
Thanks, Chief!! Look forward to more videos :):)
Chief,
I have been out of the Ships Engineer Officer game for over 35 years now.
Do I miss it??
That is a BIG no !!!
Your videos are always great !
They remind me of a different life.
Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Rod
❤thanks Chief! This video brings me back to the days I served at bulk carrier did overhauls! Appreciate!
Appreciate all of your videos, nicely explained and narrated!
wow, the bearings look like brand new
Really interesting videos Chief, Thanks heaps.
Good day to you Chief and your crew.
I'm always just fastenated with all the little parts and pieces of an engine. It's amazing how all these parts come together and make an engine work.
What you call a 'valve spindle,' we call the 'valve stem.' But I'm sure the results are the same!
Is 20,000 hours a lot of time at sea? Most of the time, your trips between ports may daye days, or even weeks at sea! Seems like 20K of time would get eaten up pretty quickly to me.
Looking forward to the completion of this maintenance operation. Best to you and the crew...
Since we have 3 generators, they each average about 300 running hours per month.
@@ChiefMAKOi So roughly once every five years (per engine)
Great video and derails. Fair winds and following seas,
Thank you Chief!
Thanks for the insights! Interesting as always.
Fair winds and smooth seas to
U all …. Salamat po for a interesting video 😊
Hy Chif
Its verry intresting to see your work
Iam work in a faktory for your crankshaft - in the finish control -
Grüße aus Germany 🧐😎👍
Thank you for posting this interesting informative video chief
The fact that this Video Makes You Want to Watch it Again ,And design of Sploot, it's Just Too Perfect , Hard to stop watching And I don't know exactly Why..
"Thinking outside the box is essential 👍👍🇺🇸"
Something ameritards know nothing of...
Boy its a long trip back to get the 10 mm socket you're bag is missing when you are out in the middle of the ocean. 🤣 Though in your case maybe its the 100mm!
Thanks chief, great detail and good knowledge there.
very interesting, thanks for videos!
Nice trick with ring removal.
I am a graduate of criminology but i always watched your video the moment you upload it. I always pretend that someday work on board a ship but unfortunately it was not happen anymore.
Greetings and congratulation for you cheif makoi
Just great video, amazed at what you can do on ship, never would have thought this kind if thing done by crew
Thank you Chief Makoi, great video for education!
chief what a perfect explanation specially people like me because mechanics life is dirty hand clear money.
Thanks Chief. I always look forward to your videos as they give me a glimpse of a life I'd otherwise never experience. I'm surprised the compression ration is only 15:1, but I guess it is never started in extreme cold and, when running ,the turbocharger increases the dynamic compression ratio to a higher value.
Yes, the jacket water keeps the minimum temperature of the cylinders at around 75 degrees Celsius.
Thank you for sharing be blessed
Thanks chief very informative videos
as always, fantastic video, thanks! *respect* to you for your deeply competent diligence.
i wonder how often you detect falsified maintenance records? seems like there'd be a lot of shipping companies that would skimp on required maintenance, especially with lax enforcement oversight, as is generally the case these days. :(
always fascinating. So glad i found you
Very informative video . I hope you will continue doing with your best comments . Fine job . It’s really interesting to watch . Do it again 3/4/5 day and so on
Amazing. Thanks you for sharing this knowledge.
Great vlog as always! I have learned a lot. I am not very wise when it comes to fiddeling with this type of stuff. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
the maintenance performed were all the same with diesel power plant. the only difference were, in the sea, the diesel engine was used for power and ship propulsion but, in a stationary power plant, the diesel engine is used for base load power generation.
Chief Makoi commented the Generator Overhaul was usually at 20K Operating Hours.
By Comparison, General Aviation , Gas Engines, Seldom go over 2,000 Hours before an overhaul.
Different engines but stark by comparison. Thanks for the Rebuild Series Chief, Nicely Done.
Live fast - die young. This marine beast rips along at 900 rpm. That’s a little over idle for a Lycoming or Continental. 😁
@@nmccw3245 There's actually quite a difference in maintenance in aircraft engines. A Kinner radial is almost a train motor and similar looking flat Continentals can range from 1500 to 5000 hours. Crankcases often suffer.
Interesting for sure!
Thanks for sharing Sir
Look forward to the next one chief
