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.
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.
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
This engine has a harness on it at each cylinder that you can take the temp. Of the cylinder. For the customer feel good engine sounds good. Good video thanks
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.
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.
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
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!
For future running dedicate a tote Buy a transfer pump at Home Depot and plumb together. You will want to run them up to 212. That you can test for heat issues. Have a tote of fuel ready add seafoam or another good additive. Remove fuel filters dump refill with fuel additive get those lines full of the additive.
Ok the liner is torqued between the block and head torqued they cannot move if they do you will find out. You are correct to never run one without water.
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.
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.
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.
You need a carbon monoxide alarm!!! I had no idea I was poisoned until suddenly feeling nauseous needed a ride home and still could not work the next day!
You would have to feel the throttle on these it is controlled by springs and pilot psi when he was trying to be gentle it added pilot psi to the spring side allowing the lever to move super easy. Trust me the bearings in the 90s forward Cat never pull if they have oil. CNC machining makes it impossible.
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 🙂
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.

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

How long. Think its easy go buy a truck and see. The owner has the hardest job of all. Dont believe me try it.

This guy has attended a failure analysis class or two.
Learned something new, never thought about the coolant dampening function in sleeved engines.

Sounds like bald eagles and freedom!!!

I ran 2 3412's on a 34m yacht... 3412 dita mono turbo. They had 2 world tours. 4000hrs ...bloody good engines
Happy Birthday Grandpa.. APPRECIATE every day you have with him. I miss mine so much. Nice vid.

That Kitty Cat sounds very Healthy!!!!
I sometimes add 4-6 dishwasher pods to the water clean that puppy up while your running it.

That's cool.
I feel like we're owed a recovery vehicle update by now. 😉 😂😂 Thanks for the video
Ok sounds like a plan
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.

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. 😁

Great happy hard working team good to watch
Good job guys. Thank you 😊
Boy, she sounds sweet!!
Yes, love the engine and transmission test videos

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
Looks like a fairly fresh energy But hopefully
A little mechanic, a little plumber! 😮
Dude that's awesome 👌
12.65v is a full charge.
12.45v is a 3/4 charge.
12.25v is a half charge.

Good morning from Tillamook, oregon, Buddy!
Hello 👋
Never put a plugged hydraulic end on a gauge they can load up becoming a bomb.
Those batteries look big enough to run a forklift!
Ah, what if the board shatters and is sucked through the turbo?
Just wondering...
Brilliant 🎉
😂😂😂 rednecking the cooling system 😂😂😂 👍👍👍
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
I need that for my 352 pete
Cool channel!
Awesome
THE EARLY 3400 SERIES WERE USUALLY RELIABLE AT LEAST THE ONES I SEEN IN THE EARLY80!S
Outstanding!0
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

nice
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
I know what you did WRONG lol
It’s not a PZ. LOL
Mines being machined and fixed
Cat calls thermostats water regulators. SIS web.
When does Robert get his own uni?
