Coolant's only function in a wet liner diesel engine is to cool. It is not a vibration dampener in any practical sense. I believe you were trying to explain the process of cavitation, but your understanding of it is thoroughly wrong. Cavitation physically cannot occur without the presence of coolant (or water, which is much worse from a cavitation standpoint) around the liner.
Had 2 of those things in a 50ft boat I used to drive in the mid 90s. "Magnum 50 Bestia". They were rated at 1350 HP each. Used to love starting them up. Fun getting it up on the plane. Black smoke and trimming the the drives and flaps to get her up. Good times.
You should consider making a super jumpstart cart. Use a couple of those really big batteries on a cart with some tires big enough to roll across the gravel areas. Put a battery charger on it that when not in use you can plug it in and it’s always ready. Think of using a couple of long welding leads that have battery terminals on the cart end so they make really good connections. Use big jumper clamps on the other end. While jump packs are usually good for cars they really don’t have it for heavy equipment. You spend more time looking for good batteries than it would take to get setup with a starting cart. You could even add some cup holders for either cans. Drop me a note if you want me to show you what I’m talking about.
Im with you on all the guys I see not putting any water in a valuable engine and kudo s to you for making sure it had good fuel pressure and it fired right up like it should. It really aggravates me to see people crank and crank until they have the starter practically smoking. I see youve been taught pretty well. Bill
We ran 3412's powering IR 1050 cfm - 350 psi compressors tied into large volume boosters packs on our oil and gas air drilling operations. Noise levels were extreme to say the least.
Those regulators (thermostats) bypass when removed and USUALLY overheat when not in place due to recirculation in the block. Leave them in next time g money
Y'all are sparing no expense! I never really worried about water when running them 20-30 seconds at a time at least just to see if they run. Definitely for a more thorough test you need water so you can check if the coolant leaks into the oil and that the oil pressure stays up when it warms up.
Been a heavy equipment field tech for a long time. So easy to pick the owner out from the rest of the guys… I hope you pay your mechanics well cause you’d be nothing without them I promise
Omg what a bunch of lucky amatur. Just open the barrel and make an outlet in the bottom so that the engine can take on itself , at the top the water will go back to the barrel.
For more extended running, the seals in the water pump will appreciate the lube properties of coolant. Water doesn't lubricate very well. Looks like a good setup and reasonably safe too!
I hope you got in to the same habit I have with thermostats. I usually test them in hot water to see if they open at the correct temperature, but my wife caught me on the last one to remind me about testing it. It tested ok but I have had them bad out of the box. Love those Cats! Drove a KW Aerodyne with a 3408 that was great in the mountains.
One the top tube from turbo would go to the top of the radiator! The lower line goes to the drain valve at the bottom of radiator! The top line would carry any air that may have got in the system to the top of radiator.
That thing sounded great when it fired up! Kind of surprised that you don't put hoses on the exhaust to run under the doors and vent outside since you do run a few engines inside from time to time 🙂
How much do you sale used engine for just curious and no I don’t own any equipment i use to work for a Coal company we had 12 992 and probably 50 777A and two 777B

There's a old 82 foot coast guard boat by ne for sake cheap with 2 of the twin turbo 850 hp 3412s in it

Sounds like bald eagles and freedom!!!
That's cool.
I feel like we're owed a recovery vehicle update by now. 😉 😂😂 Thanks for the video
Ok sounds like a plan
I ran 2 3412's on a 34m yacht... 3412 dita mono turbo. They had 2 world tours. 4000hrs ...bloody good engines

Learned something new, never thought about the coolant dampening function in sleeved engines.
Happy Birthday Grandpa.. APPRECIATE every day you have with him. I miss mine so much. Nice vid.

That Kitty Cat sounds very Healthy!!!!
Omg what a bunch of lucky amatur. Just open the barrel and make an outlet in the bottom so that the engine can take on itself , at the top the water will go back to the barrel.
some of them had little 1/4 lines that bypassed the thermostats so they would always let the air out even when the thermostats are closed.
12.65v is a full charge.
12.45v is a 3/4 charge.
12.25v is a half charge.
Can we put it in a Roxor?
Once i have enough subs we can drop it on a roxor
@@quintonbartolotta also, I was out in my yard today and realized that I still have a set of your roxor tires from our failed Jeep rescue adventure

Happy birthday to your gramps, bit early I know but better early than never and that MASSIVE engine you got running looked like a lot of fun. 😁

Cool channel!
Thumbs up, always enjoy all this tractor stuff Your shop is a much bigger scale, Yea the way others like to dry fire engines, i see your point
Boy, she sounds sweet!!

THE EARLY 3400 SERIES WERE USUALLY RELIABLE AT LEAST THE ONES I SEEN IN THE EARLY80!S
Great happy hard working team good to watch
Why does everyone go buck wild yanking the throttle when doing a cold start. Are you trying to yank a bearing? 😮
You clearly didn’t watch the video, yank a bearing? How is that going to happen? Please explain
A little mechanic, a little plumber! 😮
Yes, love the engine and transmission test videos
I know what you did WRONG lol
It’s not a PZ. LOL
Mines being machined and fixed
Good job guys. Thank you 😊
I need that for my 352 pete
Ball park figure on an engine like that with no core. Thanks
From the dealer i believe it is around 150K with about a 50K core charge but dont quote me
Outstanding!0
Good morning from Tillamook, oregon, Buddy!
Hello 👋
Awesome
nice
Brilliant 🎉
