Oct. 15-19, 2012: The V16 Cat

This past week I got to work on a cat engine. Part of the assignment was to remove one of 16 cylinder heads and remove the piston and cylinder liner. I learned a lot about big engines when I did this. I had no idea how a cylinder liner worked. It made so much more sense when I had it in my hand. I also did a little troubleshooting with my truck. It has been having some starting issues. As you can see in the pictures the flex plate teeth are starting to wear away in a couple of spots.
