    Thanks to Eric over at "I Do Cars" for making the original video and saying I could make a video about his. His excellent channel and original video is here: ruclips.net/video/vE1Ls9LPlJg/видео.html

      Nice addition to I do cars! Pair up for a fun video. He does not know heavy, and is a comical guy, but I do believe he has skill for tear downs and if he wants, will pay more attention to an engine that is worth salvaging.
      Will watch your videos also.
      PS: Agree Eric uses breaker bar in less then best practices. Especially when pulling down on #1 cylinder against engine stand, but we all learn and also like learning and video are a great transfer of good information.
      Keep posting!

Eric's are quite humorous in his own special way, and his videos focus on catastrophic failures and total engine carnage - diagnosis. 2 great channels. Thanks for all that you do.

    Thanks for Eric's step by step teardown, and the "Cat" mechanic's commentary . I knew there was a 3116 and 3126, but thought the main difference was the fuel system . And now have a better appreciation of the 3126 .

    As the owner of an RV with a 3126 in it, this was interesting. I think the narrative you are giving during his teardown has answered a lot of questions that I've had about my engine and the layout of it. Still not something that I'd want to do myself!!

    Nice to get a pat on the back from another mechanic, you deserve it. I’ve rebuilt a few diesel engines and I’m an electrician not a mechanic. A 4 cylinder Ford, 270 Cummins and a Cummins in my W18 case loader. The 270 Cummins had 2.4 million km on it. The valve train was warn so bad that the head of the valve went inside the hole in the head and the keepers fell out. I found it with the valve stem driven through the head of the piston. Yes if I could find my pictures of it it would be a good destruction of the week. Thanks for sharing.

    I like Eric's tear downs, he has some amazing engine destruction videos. Myself being an auto engine builder have dabbled in a couple diesel builds recently with a Cummins 12v and currently building a Mitsubishi 4M40. I would consider both 'light duty' compared to the world of Cat engines. Anyways glad to see both worlds collide in these 2 videos as I enjoy both channels and find you both to be entertaining and interesting to watch. Cheers!

    • @davesstillhere

    With all due respect to Josh and Eric this was a very entertaining video and funny. As I watched Eric’s originals in the back of my head I was thinking “I wonder what Josh would say about that”, and here it is. Every grin on Josh’s face as Eric did something sketchy or had to learn the hard way what Eric lives with everyday was priceless. It is like every time we get a rookie fire fighter and he tries to brute force something. We laugh, watch them struggle for a while, then give them the right tool so they can work smarter not harder. Great videos from both of you. I’d love to see another!

    On the Navistar / Powerstroke engines, when the copper washer fails at the bottom of the injector, or the injector cup fails -- the bottom of the injector scars just like that #4 did. It will also take out the fuel injector o-ring if it runs long enough that way because of combustion gases getting in. Just went through a 7.3 that had the exact same situation. The crush-washer didn't seat properly.

Like I said, I just started watching your channel and really enjoy it. As a thirty year truck driver, Cat has always been my go to engine. Very few problems. Just over all a great engine. Thanks for this video, it was fun to watch again and I learned a lot from your commentary. Waiting for more from your channel, although I have a lot of older ones to watch. Have a great day.

    They do make brackets to mount diesel inline sixes on a normal engine stand sideways... The bracket, I think, uses the motor mount location to bolt it on sideways... That fixes the length issue... But he did say in the video that his stand was rated for 1500lbs and it seemed to do just fine mounted lengthwise... Thanks for sharing and keep up your awesomeness...

I would thoroughly enjoy watching the two of you teardown a c15 or something akin to it... nit just for the teardown but the repair with the two of you. I know VERY unlikely to happen, but I think it would be very interesting... and may actually make decent content as well.🙏💜

    I enjoy your vids as well as Erics. I'm retired but I have worked on a lot of older Cat engines and transmissions from loaders and dozers and a few oddballs occasionally but that was back in the 80's. The biggest horror story was a 555 240 cummins that a machine shop destroyed the block by grinding the main caps and align honing the main bores?!? That alone raised the crank enough to case crack the gears and you could not install the side bolts for the mains! It took 3 months to get a new block from England and I had to build it from there. The book shows oversize OD as well as undersize bearings for the mains. I think they took the shop to court to pay for all the parts which was a shame but any mach shop should know that you do not cut the caps on a t-bolt engine with gear drive in the front. I figured that out a long time ago and the parts catalogue confirmed it.

Also the 2 piece piston thing is definitely not used in any light diesel I've ever had apart. Surprised actually that the x15 I'm working on uses an all steel piston. Where as the 8.9 liter cummins I did before this was the 2 piece. cool stuff to work on though. Sick mustache BTW!

    What kind of jump box does your shop use? And could you do a review or recommendation video? Also have you ever made your own heavy duty jumper cables out of welding cable? As always my favorite RUclips channel. Keep up the amazing content.
