Over 50K people watching a video on fuel injector maintenance. Must be 50K mechanics... like me. Thanks Chief.

Every time I see these engine rooms I reflect on the pride and attention to detail. The crew must really care.

Love watching the "Mechanicals" of a big ship. The size and mass is just incredible.

Back in the early 1980's I worked on drilling rigs in a natural gas field. One rig was built in 1942, all mechanically driven. The 2 main engines were huge V12 Waukesha diesels, I loved crawling around that thing doing the maintenance.

Wow, just seeing all the cuts and angles of shots, I can't imagine how much time it takes to film all of this. Thank you for doing this chief. I also see how hard these guys work. It's tough work and obviously long hours.
I often wonder how long our car engines would last if they got this type of care! :)

Chief you are the best teacher anyone could have if having interest in the life at sea.

As a retired trawlerman who was the one that worked on the engine as we the seat in the wheelhouse, these vids fascinate me so cheers 👍✌️🇬🇧

Brings back memories of changing injectors on UK railway locos. One of my jobs was testing and setting up injectors on a Hartridge testing rig. we used Fucious oil as a test liquid as it had the same properties as fuel oil but without the hazard of possible skin problems.

Thanks chief, I really like these tech videos, very interesting seeing the details on the big ship systems, and how you folks keep it all running. You are true professionals.
Safe travels!

Great video! My job has absolutely nothing to do with ships or engineering, so I have no idea why I find this stuff so fascinating.

[boonedockjourneyman]

Thank you for making these episodes. I only speak for one sub, but all the technical things fascinate me. I would go down to my local merchant marine school right now, tonight. I don’t think they’re interested in a 65 year old. Too bad. Your world is very cool for a gear-head.

Love those old style wrenches Chief Makoi proper tools aye could eat dinner off that engine.

Thank you Chief, love this type of episode!

[markfeagans]

Always the best, most informative videos from Chief MAKOi, no matter what the subject of the day!

[ARWest-bpyb]

Even with all the high tech available these days, it still takes guys with wrenches to keep everything running smoothly! 👍👍

[tentingaroundflorida]

I love seeing all the tools you guys use. Some of the specialty tools are neat

[warrenjones]

I did not realize until today how nice and well equipped your ships workshop is. Some machine tools along with the standard tools and test equipment one would expect to find in such an environment. Nothing more satisfying to see a well trained crew in operation.

[Zodliness]

Thanks for sharing.... The average guy wouldn't otherwise get an opportunity to see the inner workings of such a large engine. I admire the sheer amount of work that must be involved in servicing such heavy engine components. The average car offers nothing as a comparison to the impressive difference in size.

[danbrit]

Thank you so much for these videos...I'm a car machanic but still wounderd how the parts look and maintenance is done on them ...much respect and admiration...may the wind always be in your sails my good sir

[peteacher]

Thank you, Chief. Your straight forward informative style with no introductory fluff is appreciated.
