As a Swede i have to say that you are in the best hands when you work together with Finns. Always professionals at what they do and pride themselves on quality in everything they make or do. Proud to have them as neighbors!
I’ve got feeling that Finn's are of course a Swedish (quality-)/Russian (innovative) mix (and invented their "Hungarian”-style language to distinguish from both )?!
i can honestly say that this series is positively addictive to watch, Bruce. Seasons greetings to you, your family and our wonderful finnish neighbors. Cheers from Sweden!
Considering That Scania and Mack worked together to develop the short block for the E9/DC16 engine, And though the have different heads and fuel systems they are the same bottom end. 2 different worlds have been working together for a long time. In fact it was Scania and Mack working together back in the 1960s that allowed Mack to use Scania patents to build thermodyne engines.
@@ronaldgentry9923 So Volvo and Scania worked together, because Mack has been part of the Volvo Group since 2001. By the way, Freightliner belongs to the Mercedes Group.
E9 Mack was developed in early 1980s, Scania and Mack worked together on several things starting in the 1960s or earlier. No I didn't mean Volvo, I mean Mack
@@ronaldgentry9923 As Mack belongs to the Volvo Group, Volvo has indirectly joined forces with Scania to develop the engines and perhaps continue to develop certain components together.
Your new Finnish friends were very accommodating and professional in this project . Thanking you and the staff of this shop for making a video like this possible ! Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year .
@@ZappaSheikhaha. Må ikke tildekkes was the first sentence in norvegian I learned. And also the last one. And yes, I'm from Finland. It was strange to learn that norvegians thought that our "Ei saa peittää" was funny some 20 years ago, as we had been laughing for "må ikke tildekkes" as kids in the eighties. Still not sure what triggered both of those to be that funny for each other though.
I am not a trucker guy, nor am I especially interested in engines... but this SCANIA series is very fascinating, so fascinating that I subscribed to the channel 😂🚚
Been following you for a while, but this European trip is one of the coolest things you've done to date. I can't get over how smooth that engine runs! You could almost balance a 50 Cent piece on there. I hope you follow through on this build. You'll definitely turn a lot of heads at any truck show you take it to. Have a safe flight home and a Merry Christmas!
These guys are so professional, even fixing the oilcooler before shipping shows they know these engines inside out 👌 Thats a common issue with Scania v8. Great video every time 🔥
I really love how the fins are teaching him to work on jt himself but at ghe same time giving him pointers telling him how things come apart they are essentially teaching him how everything works on theyre engines before shipping it over here!💪 Absolutely love this content!!!!!!
This is the best thing on TH-cam ATM. Those Finns sure are very professional and have a great work ethic. I hope you go back again one day, or even invite them to your shop! Merry Christmas 🎅🎄👍
I find it funny that I just randomly watched some of your vid because it was intresting to see an Americans view on European trucks. Then hop forward a month or two, and you're chilling in the same country I live in. So odd how things evolve :D
Hope you have enjoyed your stay in Europe even though it was probably a bit cold for a Floridian, hopefully you come back this summer and visit some truckshows and experience more of the culture over here, congrats on 900k as well, onwards to a million.
Nice to see that no matter where a person goes in this world, we can always find people with similar likes and friendship. Best of the holiday season to you and your family. from Cape Breton , Canada
...... thanks again Bruce, my daily Scania 'fix' is now complete. You must be 'buzzing' from this trip mate, as all that are following you will be also. That engine is a 'beast', and would look good blue to match all. As regards myself, a long time Scania fan here in the UK, could never see a series like this coming to watch. Scania must be proud of what you have done for them in what you are doing. Glad you are going to do some work on the Vermolen truck, she deserves it!. Merry Christmas to you and yours........
Hi Bruce thanks for another fantastic video always something new and exciting happening. You mention that trailer with the Dolly. Here in Australia we have those trailer and dolly set up. Which are called Road trains. These road trains can haul up to 120 tones. Which comprises of the prime mover trailer dolly another trailer dolly and another trailer. But there are also other combinations. Keep up the great work. From Queensland Australia.😊😊😊
The owner is a great guy also to let you stay there and and use the shop. Super oppertunity for you to learn and ask questions. That is a one time opprtunity and I gues you gained some friends overthere
I just can not stop watching this. Its perfect. Have a safe flight back to America and enjoy a wonderfull Christmas and I wish you a happy New Year. Cheers from Sweden.
You finally pronounced Villes name correct😀. Hope you enjoy your time in the nordic countries. I look forward to see the videos when you get the engine installed in your Scania back home. Love from northern Sweden and merry christmas. Or like we say it in Swedish "god jul" or what our good neighbours in Finland say "hyvää joulua".
Scania mechanic here. I love to see all the apreciation people have for those engines. Those engines are bulletproof. for 10 dc13 i have to rebuild, i probablly have to take apart just one dc16. just give some love to crank and connrod bearings and you are pretty much done! btw, that oil cooler its a common leak :D
Going to be awesome in the white (blue) Scania! But I think the engine should be a different colour so it pops a bit more, if it's also blue it might not be that visible and an engine like this i think you want to show off. I know that it's fairly hidden but at some angles it will be visible and then it might be nice if it stands out a bit from the rest, but that's just my thinking :) Great video and nice work on the engine there!
Call me Old Skool but engines, gearboxes and axles should all be Scania Battleship Grey! And yes it needs to set off the chassis colour. Again its just me but I hope the engine is painted without wiring and other harnesses
@Bruce_Wilson just shortly after doing this Scania footage, your channel took off!!! Already at 900k I bet you will hit 1mil by Jan 1 and if not, then for sure by Feb 1!!! Congrats man, making big moves!
Stock manifold together with VGT is more pulse separeted and better for fuel economy. Also gives an engine with wider torque range meanwile passing emissions legislation.
Great show Bruce. I see it had a holset turbo. I bought a brand new turbo from holset. Brand new. No core charge. Made in South Carolina. Bought reman from Cummins. Bearings were out when mechanic put it on. new holset was same price as reman Cummins. Same box as the one you had in Europe. Very interesting.
Damn that actually pretty cheap, €1800. Can't wait to see it installed. Congrats on 900k! Hopefully more Europe trips upcoming, would love for you to visit the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
@@SPPhotography89 It's no BMW. The engine is from R-series and put to an 4-series Scania. The series number don't go by the engine. It goes by model number. 143 equals 14 litre engine 3-series. 164= 16 litre engine 4-series. When 4-series was facelifted it became R-series.

@@markusylitalo8376 I do know the Scania model markings from the old days 111 = 1 generation 11 liter 112 = 2 generation 11 liter 113 = 3 generation 11 liter.
Great work getting the exhaust and turbo on it. It sounds really nice. Get the engine painted before shipping imho.. Cool to get to see the Euro-style trailers up close.
Hello Bruce I live in the Netherlands but I notice that you are enjoying life in Finland and I think it is really nice to see that you are enjoying the snow. and that you will learn everything about the Scania.
I'm a retired European truck driver and I had a older 112m Scania witch is the straight 6 model but I had been having problems coming up from Italy so I pulled into a guy in France and he was as good as your guys in finnland and after he had played with my truck he gave me a extra 150 bhp and so much better fuel consumption so you can do so very much with a Scania and other European truck's, Bruce I would suggest you look at the European cabover volvo's F series and see what you think of them I found them more comfortable to drive compared to the Scania you may be pleasantly surprised, thank's for a couple of fantastic movies on your 730bhp to 1000bhp V8 Scania engine.
Great content Bruce!, i would love to see you put the 144 engine in an US truck once you are done swapping the 730 engine in (idea??) .. btw just some info; the red and white Kallio truck in the back of this video is a Daf truck (made in Holland), that is, like your Peterbilt, also a Paccar product, it has a MX13 (or 11) engine in it.
Love the EU content, I drive a scania r460 and there amazing trucks. I've driven dafs and other trucks and don't get me wrong there ok but I find they don't have the build quality or refinement that scanias have. Yes other trucks can happily pull trailers etc all day and can be slept in but there just not as much refined in terms of functionality. Perfect example of this is the air controllers are on the dash and on a fly lead,everything is in the right place. The only thing I wish scania would make standard across all it's trucks is the adaptive cruise control and android auto which are not only included in the other trucks as standard but are great safety features to. Have a safe flight home and a good Christmas and new year
@@andygm525 the new dafs are shocking, it's either night heaters or worse. Don't get me wrong theres loads of space inside and the adaptive cruise control is amazing. The thing that really let's daf down is the build quality, if they put as much effort into the quality as they have the design then they would be great trucks.
If you or somone else in Usa need parts or complete Scania engines there should not be a problem since there seems to be a lot of Scania dealers in Usa. Of course not trucks but marine engines, industrial engines, power generator engines. Engines that are basically the same as the ones in Scania trucks. These dealers at least should be able to get engine parts. Scania's headquarter in Usa is in San Antonio Tx.
Hi Bruce - absolutely loving the Scania series - those guys know how to built a truck. Light years ahead of their US counterparts. Good luck with your channel and roll on 1m subs!
That rear main seal ideea is really smart. Removing the old seal it's really easy with zero risk of damaging the sealing surface unlike a classic seal If the sealing surface is demaged , or has a groove from the old seal it's a lot easier to machine or replace the flywheel than the crankshaft
Good point! I have not seen this kind of design very often, I have a BMW diesel (B47) that have the same design on the sealing for the vibration damper/belt pulley at engine front. As you said, changes like a walk in the park and a groove from the old seal is no issue, as the main cause for this particular sealing replacement is just that the belt pulley/vulked vibration damper crap is worn out so will be replaced anyway :)
If you really want to get most out of your Scania trucks, check Team Herlevi in Finland (not too far from Oulu). They know how to tune up diesel engines in trucks and tractors (as they've been working with tractor / truck pulling for decades already and have been european champions for some decades too)
Great work you have done with this whole trip 👍 Now you are in winter Finland, and you HAVE TO GO TO THE SAUNA!! Cos we finns are Pro with that, and you got Excellent company for that enjoyment. You'll be sorry entire rest of your days, if you don't go 💙🇫🇮❄️🎄☃️
What great videos out of your visit to Finland and Sweden, glad to see you're hands on Bruce you will have learnt a lot and so will be able to help any fellow Scania guys back in the States Can't wait to see it installed and running in the Canadian beauty, safe trip back and enjoy Xmas
Yeah in hockey we are bitter enemies, until one of our teams get booted out, then we start cheering for the other team that is still in the championship! Otherwise we are really good friends! I still remember when we were allowed to watch the Sweden - Finland hockey game in school as a kid, it was an awesome day and I still remember it as if it was yesterday (can't remember who won though, I guess that was not important for the memory :-) ) Checked the result, I'm pretty sure that it was the 1995 final so it was the year Finland beat Sweden with 4-1.
These trucks are awesome, very well engineered and look like they will last forever! I would love to drive one, they look like they are easy to service and keep maintained.
Great video Bruce. Here in New Zealand the trailer you show in your video we have similar ones as well. We have 2 axles through to 5 axles with a single axle dolly on 2 & 3 axle trailers and 2 axle dollies and 2 to 3 axle on the rear of our trailers. You must come to NZ to see for yourself the setups we have here. You will be impressed. In NZ we have cabover Scania’s, Volvo’s, as well MAN, DAF, Iveco and Australian built Kenworths, Mack’s and the odd Peterbilt. Forgot we Japanese trucks and a few Chinese trucks as well. Come and check us out Bruce here in NZ. You will be surprised. Love your videos on the Scania’s at present. All the best. Cheers Angus.
I agree, he should spend some time (and for the love of god film it) and learn how to reverse with a dolly, if you getting good at it you can reverse with almost anything ;)
Ciao, Fantastico video specialmente al minuto 12:20 quando fai partire il motore suono perfetto! Nice sound from the engine at minute 12:20. Nice video Thank you
I worked many years in a Scania Shop and in my opinion are the EUIP DC16 Engines (15,6 Litre) the most reliable Engines. Left behind are the DC14 when you keep time by time a look at the valve clearance and you keep a eye on the Engine Oilpressure by engine idleing ( Camshaft issues). On that Engine with the XPI Injection are to much things that can you give trouble and high bills.
as ex scania driver i agree. 15.6 R560 ran great, never anything, and it had character, started pulling after 1300 and woke up after 1500. best party at 1700rpm. R730, don't remember it's size but I think it was over 16l was boring to drive. it pulled crazy good but no matter what rpm, it just pulled. i heard they had lots of problems on other companies, truck that I drove had only adblue trouble.
Yeah the "new" DC16 (16.4 litre) pull awesome. Common Rail and VGT are the key for the better agility and power at low rpm. But to work on, it’s a nightmare… For me are a R620 Scania with a 700hp software the way to go. 1,5 mio km with no big issues. 👌
My only concern is what about the gearbox, prop shaft, rear diff, and axle on your current white 4 Series Scania. Are they capable handling the massive torque from this tuned up and upgraded DC16 103 730 hp?
Diesel exhaust manifolds always blow my mind, in that I always have to remind myself that #1 they're usually built for packaging, and #2 they're usually intended for lower rev's where the HP is bi-product of TQ and so their sizing can remain fairly modest to sustain flow at lower rev ranges.
@@Rimrock300 yeah I was thinking the same...each log join nearly the same diameter not really stepping up much in succession but I know this helps low rpm velocity for a non-VGT turbo
@Bruce You actually did have something very similar to these articulated trailers with A-trains on the rear trailer, so it's not THAT outrageous, although you probably didn't run it with 5 axles, more likely 3 o 4, even 2 on the short UPS/FedEx trains. What sets some of these apart from that is a fixed bearing articulation in stead of a 5th wheel you can uncouple from, but I'm guessing those are getting to be ever rarer with the new train lengths and trailer configurations, as people would most likely want to be able to switch, not only between trailers, but also lead and secondary trailer, as well as between tractor units and straight trucks. The reasons to keep it old school would be for bulk transports with lower wheels, where a dolly wouldn't fit underneath, some special drawbar configuration or other. Vocational trucks might not change that much all at once, but highway trains for OTR definitely will. ...where the euro trailers really start to set themselves apart is with rear steer axles on either one or more, some all axles.
To be honest Bruce, you will be able to do some seriouse heavy hauling with your ”new engine” in your Scania. Make sure you make that a valid point in your company back home in Us, i used to drive those 730 hauling 90ton ore from a place in northen Sweden, i can say as much that you wouldn’t have any issue pulling, even though i used automatic. I think you gonna have a blast putting all together when you get home. I looking for new videos everyday from you, relizing you need to rest from time to time 😂
Hey Bruce great work on engine, sorry to be a pain but I’ve done a few rear crankshaft seals on the scania and it looked to me that you may have installed it back to front, looking forward to seeing the engine in the 144
@@erlingnygard4625 actually not. In that trailer the front is "solid". In Finland you have to register the dolly as separate trailer, so you are pulling two trailers.
No, you are wrong. Lets be clear that im talking about the trailer which is in the video at 14:39. Dolly has solid beam/draw bar(what ever its called, i dont know) and this full trailer has pivoting beam/draw bar.
The Kevlar puck disk is like/similar to the one Centerforce made for my 1988 IROC in 1994, when I made it into a Vortech SC 383/Tremec 6-speed manual, the racing clutch could not hold the torque, so they made a one-off 6-puck disk using Kevlar, and it worked.
It would be interesting to have a mechanical comparison with the Scania series DS14 V8 engine, between the American V8 like the Mack endt 864 series, the International V800 series , Detroit Diesel 8V-71/8V92 series, Caterpillar V8's and so on... In Europe, Mercedes and Iveco also produced V8 truck engines...
It will be interesting to see the european/american hybrid scania 1000+ do a 1/4 mile drag when it is finished. The back end will bounce and burn out the tyres with that much torque.😁👍
Amazing this journey, and the parts, i have no clew how diesel engines work, my collegue repairs Liebher diesel motors in mobile cranes, i only do the outriggers.
Dam BuBu, Look at you, a Scan ya mechanic! lol! Nice to see the Porsche designed Ceramic Clutch packs in Class 8 trucks. Bruce, you'll probably have the first in the US.

Perfect example of this is the air controllers are on the dash and on a fly lead,everything is in the right place. The only thing I wish scania would make standard across all it's trucks is the adaptive cruise control and android auto which are not only included in the other trucks as standard but are great safety features to. Have a safe flight home and a good Christmas and new year
Hey Daf's aren't bad lol I learned a lot about fixing things from my XF. Drove it for 2 years you name it it broke haha
Volvo just as good.
@andygm525 ah DAFs just love to play there music tadadum tadadum 😂
@@andygm525 the new dafs are shocking, it's either night heaters or worse. Don't get me wrong theres loads of space inside and the adaptive cruise control is amazing. The thing that really let's daf down is the build quality, if they put as much effort into the quality as they have the design then they would be great trucks.
@@patodonovan274 the volvo does look nice inside. How are the new iveco doing, I've heard mixed reactions from the drivers who use them
Love following your Scania adventure, Happy holidays from Denmark
Well done Bruce and Ylivoimalla guys, Finnish know how 👍👍👍 Suomalaista tieto taitoa, hieno juttu Ylivoimalan kaverit 👍👍👍
Joo kovaa kontenttia äijät pukkaa tulemaan Suomesta, hienoa että kovaa osaamista näytetään maailmalle👍

If you or somone else in Usa need parts or complete Scania engines there should not be a problem since there seems to be a lot of Scania dealers in Usa. Of course not trucks but marine engines, industrial engines, power generator engines. Engines that are basically the same as the ones in Scania trucks. These dealers at least should be able to get engine parts. Scania's headquarter in Usa is in San Antonio Tx.
Part Swede and worked on many Saabs and when I found out what the Scania part was I was blow away. The dyno video was amazing.
Hi Bruce - absolutely loving the Scania series - those guys know how to built a truck. Light years ahead of their US counterparts. Good luck with your channel and roll on 1m subs!
That rear main seal ideea is really smart.
Removing the old seal it's really easy with zero risk of damaging the sealing surface unlike a classic seal
If the sealing surface is demaged , or has a groove from the old seal it's a lot easier to machine or replace the flywheel than the crankshaft
Good point! I have not seen this kind of design very often, I have a BMW diesel (B47) that have the same design on the sealing for the vibration damper/belt pulley at engine front. As you said, changes like a walk in the park and a groove from the old seal is no issue, as the main cause for this particular sealing replacement is just that the belt pulley/vulked vibration damper crap is worn out so will be replaced anyway :)
Love the videos man, keep up the great work
That finish dudes vibe is cool, like he’s sarcastic but can’t express it American lol
I think it´s 100% finnish way of express things... show no expression, kinda...
If you really want to get most out of your Scania trucks, check Team Herlevi in Finland (not too far from Oulu). They know how to tune up diesel engines in trucks and tractors (as they've been working with tractor / truck pulling for decades already and have been european champions for some decades too)
I just love this project. I have been thinking about this kind of swap into a 4 series for years.
Great work you have done with this whole trip 👍 Now you are in winter Finland, and you HAVE TO GO TO THE SAUNA!! Cos we finns are Pro with that, and you got Excellent company for that enjoyment. You'll be sorry entire rest of your days, if you don't go 💙🇫🇮❄️🎄☃️
Yeah, I wish someone took him to a sauna with an ice cold Karhu beer!
What great videos out of your visit to Finland and Sweden, glad to see you're hands on Bruce you will have learnt a lot and so will be able to help any fellow Scania guys back in the States
Can't wait to see it installed and running in the Canadian beauty, safe trip back and enjoy Xmas
Finns are like swedish! Very different language but the same. And they love one another. All except Hockey! :) Then its game!
Yeah in hockey we are bitter enemies, until one of our teams get booted out, then we start cheering for the other team that is still in the championship! Otherwise we are really good friends! I still remember when we were allowed to watch the Sweden - Finland hockey game in school as a kid, it was an awesome day and I still remember it as if it was yesterday (can't remember who won though, I guess that was not important for the memory :-) )
Checked the result, I'm pretty sure that it was the 1995 final so it was the year Finland beat Sweden with 4-1.
These trucks are awesome, very well engineered and look like they will last forever! I would love to drive one, they look like they are easy to service and keep maintained.
Great video Bruce.
Here in New Zealand the trailer you show in your video we have similar ones as well.
We have 2 axles through to 5 axles with a single axle dolly on 2 & 3 axle trailers and 2 axle dollies and 2 to 3 axle on the rear of our trailers.
You must come to NZ to see for yourself the setups we have here. You will be impressed.
In NZ we have cabover Scania’s, Volvo’s, as well MAN, DAF, Iveco and Australian built Kenworths, Mack’s and the odd Peterbilt.
Forgot we Japanese trucks and a few Chinese trucks as well.
Come and check us out Bruce here in NZ. You will be surprised.
Love your videos on the Scania’s at present. All the best.
Cheers Angus.
I am impressed with Scania Trucks.
Keep up the great video Bruce! Simply brilliant work from all in Ireland 🇮🇪. Thank you
two of the plugs(white and black) were for EBS brake system, its like ABS but electronic.
I hope you tried backing up around a corner with a dolly-trailer before you headed home 🤣👍!
Epic serie, thanks a lot! Please come back soon!
I agree, he should spend some time (and for the love of god film it) and learn how to reverse with a dolly, if you getting good at it you can reverse with almost anything ;)
It's always fan to se when trailer drivers tried to backing dolly trailer around a corner
You are nailing the pronunciation of Scania these days🙂👍
Ciao,
Fantastico video specialmente al minuto 12:20 quando fai partire il motore suono perfetto!
Nice sound from the engine at minute 12:20.
Nice video
Thank you
I worked many years in a Scania Shop and in my opinion are the EUIP DC16 Engines (15,6 Litre) the most reliable Engines. Left behind are the DC14 when you keep time by time a look at the valve clearance and you keep a eye on the Engine Oilpressure by engine idleing ( Camshaft issues). On that Engine with the XPI Injection are to much things that can you give trouble and high bills.
as ex scania driver i agree. 15.6 R560 ran great, never anything, and it had character, started pulling after 1300 and woke up after 1500. best party at 1700rpm. R730, don't remember it's size but I think it was over 16l was boring to drive. it pulled crazy good but no matter what rpm, it just pulled. i heard they had lots of problems on other companies, truck that I drove had only adblue trouble.
Yeah the "new" DC16 (16.4 litre) pull awesome. Common Rail and VGT are the key for the better agility and power at low rpm. But to work on, it’s a nightmare… For me are a R620 Scania with a 700hp software the way to go. 1,5 mio km with no big issues. 👌
My only concern is what about the gearbox, prop shaft, rear diff, and axle on your current white 4 Series Scania. Are they capable handling the massive torque from this tuned up and upgraded DC16 103 730 hp?
Don't worry! Ville will tell Bruce what to take to consider when assembling the new engine.
Burning midnight oil in Finland. Nice work. 👍😃
Have you been to Sauna yet and swim in ice lake.😅
Diesel exhaust manifolds always blow my mind, in that I always have to remind myself that #1 they're usually built for packaging, and #2 they're usually intended for lower rev's where the HP is bi-product of TQ and so their sizing can remain fairly modest to sustain flow at lower rev ranges.
Quite the opposite from a set of Hemi headers
It di d struck me too, how smal dimeter those manifolds where for such a big engine
@@Rimrock300 yeah I was thinking the same...each log join nearly the same diameter not really stepping up much in succession but I know this helps low rpm velocity for a non-VGT turbo
Educational experience watching Bruce Wilson..!! And learning desil engineering technology good content.
Another award winning video!
@Bruce You actually did have something very similar to these articulated trailers with A-trains on the rear trailer, so it's not THAT outrageous, although you probably didn't run it with 5 axles, more likely 3 o 4, even 2 on the short UPS/FedEx trains. What sets some of these apart from that is a fixed bearing articulation in stead of a 5th wheel you can uncouple from, but I'm guessing those are getting to be ever rarer with the new train lengths and trailer configurations, as people would most likely want to be able to switch, not only between trailers, but also lead and secondary trailer, as well as between tractor units and straight trucks. The reasons to keep it old school would be for bulk transports with lower wheels, where a dolly wouldn't fit underneath, some special drawbar configuration or other. Vocational trucks might not change that much all at once, but highway trains for OTR definitely will. ...where the euro trailers really start to set themselves apart is with rear steer axles on either one or more, some all axles.
To be honest Bruce, you will be able to do some seriouse heavy hauling with your ”new engine” in your Scania. Make sure you make that a valid point in your company back home in Us, i used to drive those 730 hauling 90ton ore from a place in northen Sweden, i can say as much that you wouldn’t have any issue pulling, even though i used automatic. I think you gonna have a blast putting all together when you get home. I looking for new videos everyday from you, relizing you need to rest from time to time 😂
Bruce...dont forget to clean the floor afther your done.
😂😂 You planning taking this bad boy to Scaniamilen to race 🎉
Looking forward to seeing the end result Bruce, good luck in everything you do .
That diesel runs so smooth! Scania has the power figured out and puts American engines in their dust, or rolling coal per say
It's impressive how nice it's running even without exhahust system at all.
So clean no smoke such great engines
Hey Bruce great work on engine, sorry to be a pain but I’ve done a few rear crankshaft seals on the scania and it looked to me that you may have installed it back to front, looking forward to seeing the engine in the 144
Needs the chrome valve covers
That's true chrome would possibly look better than painted. 🤔
Damn Bruce, in that thumbnail, you actually are starting to look Finnish!! Lol
In Finland that american style trailer is called half trailer and that what was pulled out from the shop is called full trailer.
its a semi trailer with dolly.
@@erlingnygard4625 actually not. In that trailer the front is "solid". In Finland you have to register the dolly as separate trailer, so you are pulling two trailers.
@@JrgsGrg No u wrong its a regular semitrailer and You just hook up a dolly on its king pin and drag it after a truck as a regular trailer.
No, you are wrong. Lets be clear that im talking about the trailer which is in the video at 14:39. Dolly has solid beam/draw bar(what ever its called, i dont know) and this full trailer has pivoting beam/draw bar.
Merry Christmas all 🥰
The Kevlar puck disk is like/similar to the one Centerforce made for my 1988 IROC in 1994, when I made it into a Vortech SC 383/Tremec 6-speed manual, the racing clutch could not hold the torque, so they made a one-off 6-puck disk using Kevlar, and it worked.
It would be interesting to have a mechanical comparison with the Scania series DS14 V8 engine, between the American V8 like the Mack endt 864 series, the International V800 series , Detroit Diesel 8V-71/8V92 series, Caterpillar V8's and so on...
In Europe, Mercedes and Iveco also produced V8 truck engines...
I forgot that Scania's DS14 has the same displacement as the Mack ENDT 864.
14191 cc
It will be interesting to see the european/american hybrid scania 1000+ do a 1/4 mile drag when it is finished. The back end will bounce and burn out the tyres with that much torque.😁👍
Epic! Bruce building a Scania V8 in Finland. Fantasic! Edit: If you whant a diesel to run great, you need Finnish engineering 😋
Amazing this journey, and the parts, i have no clew how diesel engines work, my collegue repairs Liebher diesel motors in mobile cranes, i only do the outriggers.
Dam BuBu,
Look at you, a Scan ya mechanic! lol!
Nice to see the Porsche designed
Ceramic Clutch packs in Class 8 trucks.
Bruce, you'll probably have the first in the US.
HE561 is on older dohc isx. HE400 on x15. That high pressure fuel pump head on the scania is very familiar looking.
Looking forward to seeing the Scania and how it goes and pulls with the new engine
Was that a heat shield you removed from the compressor? Will it still function at full capacity without over heating?
So cool, did my time on scania . Love the v8 best sounding engine ever
You should paint the block blue and put Chrome valve covers on.
Pretty cool they welcomed you with open arms. I thought that was pretty neat.
Can't wait for what bhp the engine hits i love the scania R620
Isn't HP pretty irrelevant for these big diesels? Their torque is insane, close to 4000nm which is nuts.
Compleet Scandinavian trip, Sweden, Finland and buying The Engine out of a Norwegian truck. Tenden transport.👍
Can't wait to see it on the 4 Series !😍😍
Great work and Merry Christmas 👍🏻
I would love a follow up with your American truckshop friends. And I believe there is a market for European trucks in America.
The truck they yanked the engine out of ,looked better than a lot of trucks running the roads in the USA😊
Just wonder what was wrong with it, they drive it in. It need some parts but look like ok anyway.
@@juhajuntunen7866 I'm guessing it didn't pass safely inspection?
