Glad I stumbled upon this video... great memories! I was a wood pattern maker apprentice at the Cat Mapleton IL foundry back in the 80's. We made the wood patterns and mock-ups that started the prototyping process for each casting part number. The wood side had 50 journeymen and 2 apprentices; it was the best, most exciting job I ever had. The pattern shop was connected to but separated from the foundry. It was well equipped, well lit, air conditioned, and quiet. Some of the journeymen served their apprenticeships right there at Cat. Others came from all over the globe and from all aspects of industry. One journeyman learned the trade during WWII while serving on a submarine tender ship in the north Atlantic! All were immensely talented. I was moved around the shop every 6 months so I could work and learn from all of the journeymen. Patterns and core boxes were made 'old school' by hand from mountains of mahogany. I remember working on the first wood patterns for the then new 3600 series engines. The V12 variant was so big it took 5 days for the casting to solidify! By the mid-80's cnc machining was coming on fast and the Cat pattern shop (and most corporation shops) was no longer viable. Being a lowly apprentice, I was first to be laid off. I finished my apprenticeship at another pattern shop specializing in aviation super castings and worked as a journeyman on castings for F-14, F-18 aircraft, and various other defense components. I heard the Cat pattern shop closed in the early 90's. I think back at my time at Cat with great pride. Your comment regarding the surface 'bug' on that engine casting made me smile: "That's just the way these castings are... they don't make these to look pretty" Did too!!! ;

@@phillipchambers8487 Thanks for the nice words. Mahogany was the 'go-to' wood for patterns. It machines well, carves well, and most important... is very stable. Once a part number had been prototyped and revised using wooden patterns, permanent cast metal patterns are ordered for production. The wood patternmaker would then make a "master" pattern... usually from pine. Foundry patterns are made oversize to accommodate the shrink each specific metal goes through as it solidifies; iron shrinks 1%. If the production part is iron (1%) and the production cast tooling is iron (1%)... the wood master pattern is made oversize with 2% shrink. Pine was used for masters because it only has to make 1 casting... which it becomes the production tool (with 1% shrink).

Absolutely beautiful work. Back in 1985 I rebuilt a few different truck engines, a couple 671 and 871 Detroits, one Cat (don't remember which one) and 3 or 4 of the old 855 Cummins. Worked as a diesel truck mechanic so I did the whole thing from the customer driving into the parking lot, to the customer leaving again with a rebuilt engine, brakes, I rebuilt Transmissions, anything it needed every every Nut and Bolt. The engine shop was always my favorite though. Transforming that nasty greasy worn out old diesel engine into something shiny and brand new and then run it on the dyno and see (and hear) what I made possible. And taking Pride in doing a good job. Signing off on that engine that I rebuilt it! Turns out that I started driving truck rather than working on them but my dream was always to work in the shop I did nothing but rebuild engines. I will always regret that I never fulfill that dream. I ended up driving semi for 25 years and then became disabled just because I broke my body from the hard labor, but watching your video here brings back those memories and that desire to do that work again and really create a work of art when you take the time and the pride in doing it correctly. I love what you said about measuring the protrusion on the liners and swapping them around until you got them all within tolerance and weighing the rods and flow matching the injectors. That is going to be a sweet running engine! Just wish I could still have a hand in creating something like that. I subscribed and will be watching more.

niels vincourt it’s somewhat understood that modifying an engine from original design will alter emissions, or in some cases may not be equipped emissions equipment at all, due to deletes/ removal. Thus making it technically illegal to be used on the highway, especially as a commercial vehicle. But it’s also just a legal disclaimer by aftermarket parts companies to save their ass and avoid lawsuits if somebody does get in trouble while using their parts. Although I’ve herd of zero personal accounts of people getting stopped or put out of service for anything emissions related they may have modified on their truck. So it’s all kind of hearsay, but by the books it really could get you into some hefty fines.

I like the precision that a chain falls give for setting. Glad to see you using one!!

just tuned in, what an awesome skill set young man. very good work

Finally! I've been so wanting to see a custom High horsepower build from you. I just heard about those big bore packs myself about 2 weeks ago. Seemed very intriguing. Love that you're going that route. Great video, I'm sure you made a lot of folks, myself included, very happy cuz we finally got to see you twisting a wrench:-)

Thanks for the great video! I'm not big on flash and BS so you're right up my alley. I've also been watching Warren Rodgers since the beginning. He's, as you said, one great all around fearless mechanic!😊

Such a pleasure to watch a very knowledgeable and dedicated mechanic.

I don’t know that much but you motivate me so much to learn everything I can while young and in the field

Love to see that new engine run

Enjoyable video . Old 6v92 howling away at the end was great . Still going strong after several decades . You can thank Charles Kettering formally of Delco then GM for his long and hard effort in developing such reliable diesels . A truly great engineer with a great company . Thanks

Charles F. Kettering invented the first electric starter for cars. It came out on the 1912 Cadillac. He also invented the Frigidaire. He was a natural inventor/engineer in the same breed as John Moses Browning.

That’s some “Nuts & Bolts” for ya! Love the attention to detail.
