Man those LED cyclops magnet lights are the best lights in the industry… they are like 40$ and hi vis aswelll. No other light I have had can match the magnet strength and brightness of it!
Chain falls and come alongs can save your body. Im a large scale commercial carpenter/piledriver we use them ALOT. I also used to be an ASE tech for toyota/honda so these engines are awsome. Funny your speaking you could be a guy on my crew building bridges, high rises etc
Well ...that's a job and a half . This is one that would give you personal satisfaction of "DOING A TOUGH JOB " Thanks for showing your life tearing down a ship engine !
Gotta have veins filled with WD40 to love that job. 6 foot long connecting rods, connected to a piston the size of a tin trash can. The whole assembly sitting on a rack for emergency replace mid-ocean. A Formula 1 racing engine with a 4 inch long connecting rod. Connected to a aluminum ash tray sized piston(literally). A Cox .049 model engine, with a ball and socket wristpin/piston assemblage. Screw in piston cylinder.
Every essetial tradesmen deserves more than a living wage. Its a disgrace that so many are underpaid for their skill and danger of their jobs. For example i build sewage stations, bridges, high rise apts, etc. Im definitely not wealthy but do make a decent wage from unions neg inflation raises. Something EVERYONE should be getting. Companies are making record profits still overall yet employee raises only briefly happened in 2020/21
Its fairly easy to acquire these parts, if you are at the right place at the right time. Ive put so much of this stuff in the steel scrap bin. the engine name tells you the bore size: 12v32 means 12 cylinders, V configuration, 320mm bore
The Machine Shop is very rudimentary on most boats, you cant always trust the lathe to run true. I have some footage of the machine shop on another boat that I will be sharing in the next month or so. Stay tuned for that!
@@therealmaverickx Alaskan Ferry with similar, if not identical engines. Drives a PTO generator and a variable pitch propeller each engine to it's own screw. Vessel has a very high operating cost, not fuel efficient. Have fun
power packs are on EMD engines, ive rebuilt those dirty 2 strokes before. These are 4 strokes. Power packs arent as popular. Typically, its 1 out of the 4 components in a power pack that fails, so its cheaper overall to have them individually serviceable
From a retired automotive technician, hats off to you, brother. Much respect.✊

@@captaintoyota3171 amen to that. I unfortunately am not part of a union, and suffer from constant layoffs in this industry
Great video! I'm looking forward to the next part. You have a fascinating job.
Thank you very much!
Excellent Video ..Thank You !
So interesting............thankyou guys
Neat video. Like the commentary.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very interesting. I´ve a friend who works at the Wärtsilä works in Vasa. Was this engine made there by any chance?
That's a good question 🤔 it's highly likely!
Good stuff.
Interesting!
Just got done changing mains in a ingersol rand kvs, i know what you go thru
What are the chances of getting a couple of thes used cylinder liners? And what is the bore diameter?

Gotta ask... you got mills and lathes ect on board. Machine shop.......??
That'll make a great vid too..!

@adiamondforever7890 i might have been on that ship before haha. I forget all the names. I used to service the Alaska Marine Highway Ferries.

Surprised they don’t just do power packs like on locomotives
power packs are on EMD engines, ive rebuilt those dirty 2 strokes before. These are 4 strokes. Power packs arent as popular. Typically, its 1 out of the 4 components in a power pack that fails, so its cheaper overall to have them individually serviceable
How many hours do they normally run before they need a major overhaul?
Typically 20,000 to 30,000 hours before a full overhaul
