It's always a treat to see professionals operating in their element. There may be many videos about rebuilding diesel engines on YouTube, but this is the only channel I'd trust to get it technically correct. Thanks Chief!

Oh yes, boring maintenance beats stressfull emergency repairing everyday! 😉
Thank you for another great vlog, looking forward to part 2!

Having torn down and rebuilt many a long block, it is so interesting to see this process done at a larger scale. Never had to use a block and tackle to remove a piston before. But all the parts are the same and recognizable.
Also, never imagined that ships actually did this kind of over haul while underway.
Thanks for posting chief.

a pleasure to see your videos, I am a student of Naval engineering and we are studying just the part of dismantling engines and defining their parts. Your video was very helpful for my study process and to see my future job as a marine machinery engineer. greetings from Chile.

Very delightful to see such a team working in a perfectly synchronized sequence of tasks. Lots of strategic tenacity.

I find this sort of video very relaxing to watch - professionals doing their job professionally. Thanks for sharing, Chief.

So many critical connections and small parts, before the main work. Testing and start up must be very stressful. Thanks big guy, great content.

For so many reasons besides the obvious one, where would we be without men, who design, build, and operate all components of our complex modern world. May God bless them.

Reminds me of my previous job tearing down and remanning Isuzu and Perkins diesel engines. Although they were pretty big they are nothing near as large and complex as those generators. Very cool to watch the process on a larger engine! Good work to you and your team!

This whole operation looks so smooth. After working a job where a sensor calibration turns in to a multi day affair with half a dozen surprise breakdowns afterwards I'm jealous.

[oldroscoe]

That's a bit bigger than the engine I have on the generator in my garage. Always interesting to watch engine rebuilds. There are so many different types for so many uses. Planes, trains, ships, vehicles, lawn care, etc. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[human_isomer]

It's impressive how big those pistons are. And that's surely one of the smaller engines on board a ship.

Since 2017 until now. I am support your channel friend❤

[symplemynd]

Thanks for another great video, Chief. Being a mechanic myself, it's still interesting to see how different engines are put together. They all basically do the same job, spin something, be it a wheel or a pump or a generator or a propeller, it produces motion. Safe Journeys and waiting for the next video. 🔧🪛🚢

Now I’m going to impatiently wait on the next episode. Thank you for the great and interesting content. I always look forward to these.

[FLGurl]

I just absolutely ❤ this channel. I have learned so much. I love to take things apart, so this is a real teaching tool for me for the next time that I have to dismantle something and put it back together. This is just awesome. A dirty job, and a job well done. Thank you so much!

[westtex]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. You take something that looks very complex on the surface and steadily break it down, step-by-step, into manageable subassembly phases (before going into granular detail). This makes it easier to mentally process, and less intimidating.

[elizabethlarsen]

Seems so labor intensive! These guys are good. TY, Eng. Makoi for posting

[carlosdenoso]

I've never been a seaman. But for me, watching your vlog is a good adventure for those who want to work in this field and would like to experience a real event on a ship. Awesome stuff, Chief MaKoi

[lauramildon-clews]

It is always good to watch professionals working in sync with each other. I was chief engineer on a VLCC for sixteen years and I have never gotten tired of watch professionals working. Thank you for sharing this, Laurajane Mildon-Clews
