Tearing apart a Cat 3516 diesel engine from start to finish.

Unbelievable man, I loaded this engine on a truck in Australia , December 2007 , it was in our shop at Weatherill Park in Sydney . I was told that it served a monster tip truck in the mines . I never imagined that I would see it again.

Some of the guys who rebuilt the engine in 2008 at Mt. Thorley also found the video, as well as the guy who actually pulled it out of the haul truck here in the USA in West Virginia about 2 years ago. Pretty amazing.

I thought doing this work with another set of hands and large overhead cranes was a chore . I’m impressed you tore one of these down by yourself in your own shop. Nice work.

@@deezelfairy It all works in the long run, you pay more initially for a product that serves for decades with regular maintenance & rebuilds, so by its design it makes its own value back in a shorter amount of time than a disposable engine. Case in point: The V6 in my 2010 Taurus was designed with an internal water pump, not covered under warranty, which floods the crankcase with coolant when it fails, essentially overheating and melting the engine in a matter of minutes, which is what happened to mine.

Hey cool video. I’ve overhauled these 3516’s many times. All mine were natural gas though. I have a tip on getting the liners out. After removing the rod cap from the journal, get a deep wall 3/4” socket and place it between one of the webs on the crank and the bottom of the liner and rotate the crank using the crankshaft like a makeshift press. Hope it helps. Also having that engine up on its ends really had me worried. Glad nothing bad happened.

I have always found these large industrial engines interesting. I like how they are built with serviceability in mind unlike automotive engines that are not made with intention of ever being overhauled.
"I'm still alive and not bleeding" ... 😂
It's because industrial and commercial applications are designed to make money through reliability. Automobiles are designed to make money not for the customer but for the supplier, through planned obsolescence.
@@ownedpatrol Bare in mind that maintenance/rebuild friendly design is reflected in the price. Cubic inch for Cubic inch industrial engines are far more expensive than automotive equivalents.
@@deezelfairy It all works in the long run, you pay more initially for a product that serves for decades with regular maintenance & rebuilds, so by its design it makes its own value back in a shorter amount of time than a disposable engine. Case in point: The V6 in my 2010 Taurus was designed with an internal water pump, not covered under warranty, which floods the crankcase with coolant when it fails, essentially overheating and melting the engine in a matter of minutes, which is what happened to mine. If only it had a Cat 3406 in it, lol
Fiat have been pretty good with their engines. The alternator is a chore to access but there are tricks to simplify the job. The 16 valve 1.3 diesel is a little jewel used by Suzuki, GM, Peugeot and of course Fiat. Up to 90bho isn’t bad for its size.

Something I learned from watching various channels covering boating. Deep sump pans are used for marine applications so engines are less likely to get starved for oil when a boat is pitching and yawing at all sorts of crazy angles in rough seas.

I love these engines, I worked at Caterpillar for 38 years. I worked at Mossville where they first built these before. they moved them to Lafayette. I ran the first 1000 hour test on the generator version of this engine. loved watching your video, took me back to when I was working.
Cat retiree here, Aurora plant, not a day past 30 years, just wanted to see inside one of these.
Was it a good Company? Did it look after you?
Drove for schilli always drual everytime when I went to the distributor
The A model 3500's were good engines. My dad worked for a dealership when they came out. Spent quite a few weekends with him working on 3512's mainly (lot of tugboats have them out this way). It was a unique childhood, wouldn't trade it for anything.
I worked in Mossville and Aurora plants in the 2000's thru 2010's. Built all the pallet rack and shelving in those places.

Nice direct video, no stupid music to interfere with a matter of fact description of a big engine teardown. I appreciate you letting us into your shop, thank you.
Hey cool video. I’ve overhauled these 3516’s many times. All mine were natural gas though. I have a tip on getting the liners out. After removing the rod cap from the journal, get a deep wall 3/4” socket and place it between one of the webs on the crank and the bottom of the liner and rotate the crank using the crankshaft like a makeshift press. Hope it helps. Also having that engine up on its ends really had me worried. Glad nothing bad happened.
I stumbled on your videos a couple years ago. I loved em then, and still love em. I worked in the coal industry for 25 years in West virginia, learned that I love a cat engine over all others.. I enjoy watching you and your comments, reminds me of myself...lol Thanks for the vids brother, I appreciate all the hard work you put into making the videos along with tear downs and builds.
Damn man you did a good job with this. Especially having to stand the block up like that to push pistons. I work in a component rebuild shop specifically tearing down and buffing the parts for 3500 engines (mostly see 3516’s) I’m impressed with the way you did it.
