C15 acert mxs engine, oil pressure 60 at idle and 75 running did Maines and rods oil pressure went to 25 idle and 55-60 running did a complete over haul a year later thinking oil pressure would go back but stayed at 25 at idle any recommendations on what to look for its been 2 years since overhaul and still running.
Please help I’ve seen your other video about coolant filter replacement. Do I have to remove the small screw next to the valve ? Or leave the screw next to valve alone ? Please help thanks
the isolators are to stop noise, they do not seal anything, if you look at the gasket it has the sealing surface around the bolt hole, the reason a oil pan looks like its leaking is usually the dipstick plug is hard and leaking and it runs to the back side and runs off the back, and if the truck leans which most do it will be on the driver side, the rubber oil pan gasket design stopped the oil pan from cracking and reduced engine noise, have you ever epoxyed the head gasket for the oil leak with the old diaper system, you might fix the leaks but it would continue to leak for a year, at least they did away with that.
No, they dont need noise suppression on the pan. Those are not isolators per say, they are there so you dont crush the pan gasket by over tightening. They also pop into the pan so they do have a seal around them or they would fall out, that seal is to keep any oil that weeps past the gasket over time from leaking out thru by the bolt. Some of the threads in the block for the pan are threaded thru into the inside of the engine.
@@jotegg1276 you might want to attend some cat classes so you can learn about the oil pan gasket design and what it was engineered for. and the cat package says isolator on it
@@youtubeisawesome2487 you actually might look up in a dictionary what "isolator" means. Noise suppressors for an oil pan, not. Sound will not carry thru liquid as thick as oil and the pans are aluminum. Tap the side of a glass, then fill it with water, its own noise suppression. The sides of the engine needs that insulation for the noise because it sets next to the cylinders where 90% of the noise comes from. Those isolators are ment as in isolation or alone, single, separate. . . basic education. not my 35 yrs as a mech.
I had the oil pan gasket replaced- but not the rubber grommets, it leaking exactly where you said from the passenger side. Should I pay someone to replace the rubber grommets? I tried looking for a leak in main seal area but can’t tell if it’s leaking from there. Any thoughts 🙏
@kevinmazur1519 on the right side(passenger side) third bolt back from the front. That bolt hole goes into the oil reservoir. It's not a bottom out thread but a through hole. Take that bolt out and degreaae it thoroughly( brake clean, acetone ). Clean the hole as good as u can to try to get any left over oil out. Coat that bolt with Right Stuff silicone and put it back it. Don't run ur motor right away(give it time to set up)
Good advice for checking the front main seal. Something I will actually remember.
Thanks 😊
Thanks a lot man!! Really appreciate for your educate
Thanks Ryan good video
U explain things very well..I appreciate it
Thank you! Love to hear that! 😊
REALLY GOOD VIDEO thanks, Ryan.
Thank you David! 😊
thanks Ryan I have a 6nz and have a leak will check out those 4 items to see if that's my issues.thanks and more video on cat stuff :)
Good luck!
Great content!
Thank you!
I’m live in Columbus Ohio and could definitely send drivers your way and myself if you in my area
Thanks
great video thanks man
Thank you!
Nice job👍.
what do you find is the best silicon sealer? esp. for sump gaskets

How do you recommend pulling off a bad sleeve without removing the oil pan? I dont want to further damage it or get it stuck.
I see Lucas oil treatment in the back, what do you think about it?
I don’t have a preference on it, some customer requested Lucas.

I have never removed screw, just turn the valve. Hope it helps!
@@truckingandfixing thanks I appreciate it
I have built many cat engine from 4to 16 cylinders. Never had a gasket leak.
Silicone is insurance.
What's your thought on a c13 2005? Any good of a motor?
Good reliable engine, but expensive parts.
Quick question where is your shop located I’m in Cleveland area I’m a owner operator truck needs a few things done
We are located in Ravenna Ohio. 50-60 minutes from Cleveland
Feel free to call our business line to make an appointment when you are ready!
My favorite mechanic- ISX 15 is burning a gallon every 2 weeks, want my blow by lowered and engine tuned - can you help?
Probably carton packing on the rings and liners. Might want to try some of the Cummins restore oil if you can find it. They discontinued it.
@@truckingandfixing so u can’t own her up and spray some degreaser on it? I’m jokiNo but are you able to clean those parts involved
so much for cleaning the customers oil pan once its off

Got a buddy with a 07 Pete c15 cat. Needs this gasket replaced something a moderate mechanically able guy coud do or a real intense job ?
How did you meet Sophia?
We meet online, and I went to China to meet her.
@@truckingandfixing what site did you use?
Forgot the name already, it was 12 years ago. Sorry.
If it’s a main seal leak- how expensive is that

It’s a c-12 motor 355,000 miles

Cat power eating Cummins and shitting Detroit’s since 1925
Yeah, yeah
Absolutely.
