I kept thinking "I've seen this guy before! He's always in the sht getting dirty and hyper focused on the job. He don't clown around. that's a guy you want on your team.
I live in a port city in Western Australia, and this afternoon, I watched a bulk carrier come into port. I was thinking how great it is that Chief puts out these videos that explain the crew's perspective and experiences. Being a port city, it used to be easy to spot who was crew off a ship, as they would walk around town together in a group of 5-10 people. Sadly these days, with Covid-19 security restrictions we just don't get that anymore. So Chief, just wanted to thank you for doing an important job by giving a voice to the common merchant sailor.
they have recently started letting them out in vic again. seen a few in the supermarket recently. (can always spot them, they are the asian guys with trolleys full of snacks)
@@katelights Yes I used to live 5 minutes walk from the harbour, you could always tell a ship crew, and often I would see them walking, and some also would ask for directions to entertainment, of all kinds. But also had a fair share of them coming back rather damaged, they chose the wrong type of entertainment.
Chief this was awesome very educational and well done. As I said you must have been one hell of a instructor at the academy and one hell of a good Chief. From what I have watched and Captain would be blessed to have you as a Chief. Fair winds and following Seas Chief.
Awesome! Thank you Chief for sharing this with us. In the US Navy, we had 16V149TI's(Stewart Stevenson/Detroit Diesel, intercooler was blanked off) that we did not overhaul. Obviously maintenance was performed, but never disassembly. Holy Hannah, I've been out since 1992 and can still remember the damn nomenclature!
A perfect example of why you need 3 working generators on a ship. They're just too important.... Great video as always, Chief. Makes me wonder about my own career choices. I've heard good things about Pinoy crews, that they're great guys to work with- friendly and smart as hell.
Thank you Chief Makoi! I’m not even from the shipping industry and i love watching all your videos. You do such a great job filming and describing what’s going on. I can’t wait for your videos to come out everytime!!. Everytime a video is uploaded i know you’re in some dock somewhere in the world! Let your engine room team know they are all high standard folks!
The depth of knowledge and attention to detail required to do this work consistently well is astounding. The importance of not becoming complacent and the need for constant recurring training... wow. You and your crew are amazing thru and thru. No room for duds on board a ship. Thank you for showing this stuff Chief, love every minute.
As a native English speaking, white degenerate from Canada - I seriously have to, and continuously, applaud the ability of other cultures to work so fluently, hand and foot, standing on top of each other, like an incredibly well oiled machine. I’ve worked in many industries - manufacturing, maintenance, construction, and now running my own machine shop. I can assure you, it’s always “every man for himself. I do not possess the cognitive and emotional ability to work with another individual where both our minds are nearly connected in such a way as other cultures - much like yourself - do. Hats off…
You can see there a crew who knows what to do, and also that they trust each other to do absolutely the correct thing as well. You just need to make sure the adjustable nut rounders vanish, as there should be a set of tools to do valve clearance adjust for those engines, as that is very common to need to do after the first 500 hours of running as maintenance. But very nice to see all fasteners that are critical got tightened to a torque, even though you can get to pretty close to correct with experience in just how much force to use.
Good job guys! When I was a Mazda tech we had to adjust valves on the 626 every 30,000 miles. I used the go/no go technique. If clearance was .010” for example you us .011” & .009” feeler gauges. It worked every single time & never a valve tap. Just had to be done on a hot engine… not cold. Customers were happy their engines were quiet.
I said it in a previous video but it's really neat seeing how well coordinated the whole effort looks, surprises and all. It's out of your genre but I would absolutely watch a few videos about how things like this are planned and prepped for.
Thanks chief and crew for showing us the important day to day operations in the engine room. We see ships moving in the water or at a port all the time, but you hardly ever get a look at the many systems which get it from point A to point B and back. Watching from NC USA.
Excellent series, Chief. I will be bookmarking this one, and I look forward to more like this. Congrats to you and your team on a job well done. Editing & presentation was top-notch too.
You could make taking out the trash interesting, Chief! As I've said before, I'm looking forward to your documentaries when you retire. Until then, I'll continue to enjoy all you post until then. You rock!
Thank you sir for your dedication and willingness to make this vlog in order give us paramount understanding and overhauling of generator engine quite easily in port .Mainly with the help of effortless crews working in the engine room, they have done every single maintenance and assembly smartly. personally I appreciate this brief video, keep going wonderful seafarers. I'm also recently graduated to work as an Engine cadet in near future and this is special video to see before joining.
Great job Chief! You are a credit to your company, showing how meticulous you are in keeping things running smoothly. I hope they know that you are a huge PR asset to the business, as well as a fine, inspiring engineer and seaman yourself.
Job well done. It was verry interesting on how the connecting rod connected to the crankshaft. Neve saw a connection rod in two separate parts. I truly enjoy watch.
I have rebuilt a number of engines. What amazes me is that you carry all the parts and specialty tools necessary to complete the job without shore support.
Brought back memories for me of overhauling Mirrlees Blackstones generators at the small power station I was chief engineer of for 34 years. We did it exactly the same as your guys. Never had a serious mech failure in all that time and the 3 oldest sets had over 100,000 hrs on them and are still stand by sets today.
Love watching your videos congratulation to your team for a job well done if I was 40 years younger would love to have a chance to have the challenge working on something that big being a mechanic great job guys.
As I began to watch I asked myself how the chief engineer (Makoi) had the time to do the filming vs. having to work. As I continued I realized that he was letting the other engineers do the work and simply overseeing it all. I am sure this is the way people learn on the ship.
Good evening chief, Many thanks to you and your crew for the time to film and to give us a glimpse of ship life. I'd like to wish you and all your ship mates and families a happy Christmas and a happy and safe New year. Rgds, Peter.
By doing these jobs while under way also makes the passage time go faster as well! And as well as everything goes right it keeps morale up and boredom away also!
I just discover your channel Chief. And I have to tell you, your content is amazing and it’s an inspiration for me as a recently graduated mechanical engineer to watch your amazing work. Thank you for sharing.
Good job Chief 👏 👍 and to your team 👏. Looks like every assignment ship 🚢 you go to, you leave it in better 😉 working 💪 condition. Stay safe, looking forward to the next Port of call. Richard Bause
Chief just a small reminder, don't tolerate them using incorrect tools such as adjustable wrench most specially the adjusting screw for the valves... Thank you!!!
I've said it before... Your crew is amazing and the boat is well taken care of. I hope you all have great holidays and Merry Christmas! God Bless and love to all from central Texas.
Nice finish! Everyone looked happy to have completed the overhaul. I'm a country boy in a valley, a long ways from the sea. But I miss my Navy days, being at sea and some of the challenges it presented. The years of youth are indeed fleeting! Keep us in the loop Chief. How's the fuel situation for your ship by the way? Later, be fafe, enjoy life, keep the memories!
The quality of work is proportional to the happiness of the work force, and that's mainly down to the boss. You either have to like your boss or admire him. Both is better but neither means disaster.
It just goes to show some times having 3 of something isn't enough (though having one generator engine being overhauled & another failing is probably rare, I expect it would be even more rare for a 3rd one to fail. I understand the hast to get the Turbo repaired though, cause ya just never know. A great job by all & it's very interesting to see how you not only achieve what is necessary with limited tools & equipment, but also how well you all work as a team. Well done!! 👍
Chief Makoi , as allways I enjoy watching your vidoes , they are very ediocaitonal and informative , although I quit sailing 30 years ago I love to watch your vidoes , keep on
Another amazing episode…thanks. Excellent perspective on the attention to detail needed to properly plan and execute the corrective maintenance actions. Big job with significant consequences for failure to comply with controlled reassembly, and sequential quality assurance requirements. Carry on!
Those rocker arms are hilarious! I have done some tappet lash adjustments before and could not fit my hands and feeler gauge in at the same time. Your guys don’t have that problem.
Very simple engine, and I saw some clever designs in it. The biggest problem was the scale, but some of those processes have been used for over 100 years. like lapping the valves, or slathering oil around for assembly. Found myself saying, 'I can do that.'
Chief, I liked the flashlight your guys used, I bought 10 of them for all my adult family members for Christmas. Much lighter than the Pelican light(3 C batteries) than I currently have. Merry Christmas to you and the crew.
Great video. Why were new parts not used. Generally when spending the labor time to tear the engine down would it be more economical to replace the power cylinder and at least rod bearings. Also what was used to lubricate the cylinder sleeve o rings? Thanks,
Hello Chief. Thaks for your superb videos. I have a suggestion: Why don´t you make a video explaining what goes on in the engine room during a Crash Manoeuver in a large ship powered by a two stroke diesel engine? How can the engine be re started in the opposite turning direction when there must be considerable torque in the propeller shaft generated by the propeller because the inertia of the ship going ahead tends to turn it? How can the starting air overcome this? So many questions...!I think this would be very interesting! Have a nice day...
Thanks Chief, Great Series!! Please give us a little more time on your Outro to select our Next Chief MAKOi video to feed our "Binge The Chief" appetites ;-)
As a mechanic sailor for many years in the Brazilian Navy, this type of overhauling is made by workers based on shore only. The crew isn´t allowed to make such an enormeous and complicated task aboard. The difference is: merchant navy is into money while Navy is into war and protection...
Congrats to the third engineer. We see him take charge alot in these videos. He deserves special recognition.
Thanks for pointing him out. I knew he looked familiar.
well yeah i mean isn't the third engineers always in charge of the generators? :c
Love how the glasses balance on the end of his nose.
I kept thinking "I've seen this guy before! He's always in the sht getting dirty and hyper focused on the job. He don't clown around. that's a guy you want on your team.

@@katelights 😛snacks, chocolates and some gifts for our families at home and onboard ship. Yea shore leaves are allowed nowadays.
What a professional crew onboard, Chief must feel 150% confident working with them.
Chief this was awesome very educational and well done. As I said you must have been one hell of a instructor at the academy and one hell of a good Chief. From what I have watched and Captain would be blessed to have you as a Chief. Fair winds and following Seas Chief.
You have a very knowledgeable hard working staff you must be very proud of them!
Who made that generator set and what model is it?
Awesome! Thank you Chief for sharing this with us. In the US Navy, we had 16V149TI's(Stewart Stevenson/Detroit Diesel, intercooler was blanked off) that we did not overhaul. Obviously maintenance was performed, but never disassembly. Holy Hannah, I've been out since 1992 and can still remember the damn nomenclature!
Another interesting video Chief
As a marine eng student I have learnt a lot from these brief yet very informative videos. Thanks a lot chief!

The world just got an education from the Dali about how important it is to keep the ship's generators running.
That actually looks kind of fun...working on such a large machine with a great group of guys you get along with. well done, Chief and crew!
Great job, great show, great team.
Taking us where we've never been, to see things we never imagined. Thank you! This was an excellent series. Safe travels to you and your fellow crew!
Thank you Chief Makoi!

The gentleman with the glasses clearly knows his stuff. An asset to the crew.
What a great crew! You and the ships engineering crew can be proud of the good work you do.
Thanks for that series, it was very interesting to see how things are done on board a ship. I'd really be interested in more of that :)

Thanks for sharing. I just found your videos they are great and full of information.
Job well done. It was verry interesting on how the connecting rod connected to the crankshaft. Neve saw a connection rod in two separate parts. I truly enjoy watch.
Another great video Chief..One ferry I worked on during generator emergencies we had to run one main engine in port to use shaft generator.
Thanks chief I am looking your all video's. I learning every day looking your videos
Your videos are the most relaxing and educational at the same time,thanks for sharing.
I have rebuilt a number of engines. What amazes me is that you carry all the parts and specialty tools necessary to complete the job without shore support.
thank you for taking time to shoot, edit and explaining various steps during the compression ignition engine overhaul....

greetings all engineers of group you gave us a demo to learn some good useful we inturn can make use at our vechicles , good Job Sir.Tapos Na Po.
loved the series chief, very professional work and must be so satisfying to see the engine come back to life
Nicely done video as we have come to expect and enjoy. Thank you chief.
Awesome series Chief - you guys work hard and steady - a job well done.
Good evening chief,
Many thanks to you and your crew for the time to film and to give us a glimpse of ship life.
I'd like to wish you and all your ship mates and families a happy Christmas and a happy and safe New year.
Rgds, Peter.
You have a winning team Chief.
Yeah you can see they all work well together.
By doing these jobs while under way also makes the passage time go faster as well!
And as well as everything goes right it keeps morale up and boredom away also!
I've rebuilt engines but nothing on this scale! Great!
I just discover your channel Chief. And I have to tell you, your content is amazing and it’s an inspiration for me as a recently graduated mechanical engineer to watch your amazing work. Thank you for sharing.
Nice that your team doesn't mind being recorded. Looks like you have a great team.
60 hours I can believe it, it went smoothly well done men
With 5 men, so 300 man-hours.
Good news to you from KNIGHTS SHIPS. Amazing video Thank you very much. God bless you
Wow Chief Makoi and team that engine will be tip top for a long while.
Could eat a dinner off them pistons.
Good job Chief 👏 👍 and to your team 👏. Looks like every assignment ship 🚢 you go to, you leave it in better 😉 working 💪 condition.
Stay safe, looking forward to the next Port of call.

Chief just a small reminder, don't tolerate them using incorrect tools such as adjustable wrench most specially the adjusting screw for the valves... Thank you!!!
You must refer to maker's manual for the proper tightening torque..
I've said it before... Your crew is amazing and the boat is well taken care of. I hope you all have great holidays and Merry Christmas! God Bless and love to all from central Texas.
The Generator parts are all nice and clean now, new parts fitted, and it's working. Job well done guys 🙂🙂! You must be feeling very satisfied.
Nice finish!

Yo this is so cool. Good to watch competent engineers at work.
So nice to see it up and running Chief...
Thanks for sharing Videos,are VERY important for My i love the Marine Engines💯👍🏾
😊 I enjoyed watching your work thanks
Salamat sa mga knowledge sir chief. Maski papano nagkakaroon kami ng idea lalo sa mga malalaking makina gaya ng sainyo.
No problem.

My respect to the 3rd Eng. GOOD JOB SR.
It’s called teamwork ! Job well done !
Third engineer seem to be the man !
Thanks for another great video! Some parts of that engine look it were made by Thyssenkrupp, at least the castings have their logo...
That’s one hellava crew you have there Chief!
As always Chief excellent job. Maybe an electric overhead chainfall for the boys for Christmas! 👍
Good job! 👍bye from Italy !
thanks for sharing great great 1.2.3. videos good job excellent cpt lilo
Happy Thanksgiving to you all
Cheif the ships owner and the crew are in very talented hands you are the 1&only Cheif Machine maritime magician stay safe all ron rdzl
Great job team! Calm seas be yours.
Thanks, Chief Look forward to more videos!!
Chief, I liked the flashlight your guys used, I bought 10 of them for all my adult family members for Christmas. Much lighter than the Pelican light(3 C batteries) than I currently have. Merry Christmas to you and the crew.
What brand and model are those flashlights? You recommend them? What do you like about them? Cheers
@@giggiddy It’s the Nightstick XPP-5422GX. I paid about $34 for each one. Two lights, magnetic mounts and a clip, and lanyard.
@@mgv00 Thank you sir. I like recommendations from folks who use the products. Cheers
Your Third Engineer missed his calling... He looks like a MANGA Hero ...
Excellent series! Keep up the great work.
The flashlights you gave were definitely very useful in the Engine Room. 😊
As always, very interesting Chief!
Its so funny, adjusting valves is the same in big engines the same as small
Great video. Why were new parts not used. Generally when spending the labor time to tear the engine down would it be more economical to replace the power cylinder and at least rod bearings. Also what was used to lubricate the cylinder sleeve o rings?
Thanks,
Great job, well done all involved.
It was a great job Sir.
great team job with a great chief !
Job well done. The nice thing about industrial engines, is they are designed with maintenance in mind. Unlike automobile engines🤦🤦🤦
Thank you, Chief!
Great video and great team work!
Fantastic job Chief

large ship powered by a two stroke diesel engine?
How can the engine be re started in the opposite turning direction when there must be
considerable torque in the propeller shaft generated by the propeller because the inertia
of the ship going ahead tends to turn it? How can the starting air overcome this? So many
