    Hey Josh, How much would I be looking at spending on a cat mechanic to inspect my 3116. I just bought it and I see 2 harnesses disconnected and the truck only had 1 of 3 batteries in the box. They added a prime pump on the return line. which I believe is not a good thing. So basically inspect to see what they did that they shouldn't have. Also the fuel filter looks bypassed. A little worried about this because I plan on running otr with this 95 gmc topkick with 3116 cat. Don't want to blow an injector

    Excellent video. The 3116 is a good engine in most applications. The military still uses them in some vehicles but is slowly phasing them out. By far the worst thing about this engine was setting up the overhead. Other than that they were very reliable. The tooling and procedures to work on them was and is their biggest fault. As you had mentioned, this was their first venture into a small inline engine and it came out okay. Most parts are still available currently. Thanks for sharing the info on this engine.

    Hi Ken. Setting up the overhead? Im not a mech, Im a fireman and part time general contractor. I have only one dump truck, it has a Cat 3116. So far, so good. I run this truck to the dump, full of concrete, and it runs strong, as if it had no load on it all. I love it so far. Having said that, Im the type that likes to take care of his equipment and do maintenance , to prevent problems. At any rate, I hope I never have to, set up the overhead, because I have no idea about that. Id have to take it to a mech, and that job sounds expensive , haha. Other than keeping filters clean, is there anything else I can do to my 3116, to keep it happy and running smooth?

    great vid, we have one of the first 3116 in a custom made lo pro, first one made in the usa. Only has 134k miles on it, engine has been great. In 93 the dealer, chief white gmc in duncan ok, (they did the custom body from a detroit incomplete chassis), had a 3116 video in their dealership, in that video, it stated the 3116 came in 6 power settings, and the lower power settings 1 2 and 3 used round pistons, while higher power settings 4 5 and 6, used slightly oval pistons that "became round" on warm up, I was told we had power setting 4 in our engine. Also, a lot of reference to japan was in that video. Anyhow, truck has been way underutilized since 1993, its gmc door sticker does not say truck, it say recreational vehicle motorhome, and has car tags on it (because it was shipped as an INCOMPLETE CHASSIS the dealer builder was allowed to placard the truck as they deemed correct, and this allowed us to bypass all truck restrictions :O Used to pull custom horse trailer The engine has been great, the last few years it has been hard to start if it sits for a month or two, fires up then cuts off and have to crank it, i think the fuel leeches back down into the fuel tank, and we should be turning the fuel tanks off when stored, to prevent leakdown.

    3116 = 3000 series 1.1 litre /cyl 6 cylinder. Try doing injector set in a mid mount fire engine, or any work for that matter makes all the other aplications a breeze to work on. You can do a rack sync on any cylinder seperately without desturbing the other settings except 1, if you do cyl 1 you must do all 6, the setting is actualy easy, interpreting the procedure is the tuff bit. If you have a hard start issue in mui engine there is a plastic check vallve in the fuel return line that needs replacing, costs about 10c and always looks like new but alows fuel to syphon back from the injectors at shut down we used to replace them yearly in some machines. Not good when your fire engine wont start. Cheers mate🍻

The 8-71 racks are especially challenging cause u have to balance both sides, u go by a very delicate feel and pin drag like a brain surgeon so to speak. If u don't get it right in a truck they wouldn't pull a load very well.

Like you said that is the engines only downfall is anything with overhead . Although I managed to sneak some cam follower cover gaskets into one in our gmc . It was a total pain but I did it made a few new torch bent wrenches that day . Told boss worst case scenario it won't leak but will run funny and it will have to go to car for adjustments . It needs a camshaft and followers replaced but he didn't want to do it it is still running 6 years later to my surprise. If your curious i found the engine had been worked on before and the 5-6 follower shaft was installed backwards in the cover starving it of oil .rollers and cam lobes are chewed up but it doesn't make noise not sure how . Not my problem now as I quit the truck side and went to heavy equipment side

    I have a mechanical 3116 in a military truck that started knocking when the oil supply line to the governor fractured. The engine was shut down, but a CAT service tech recommended we replace the part, fill it with oil, and fire it up for ten seconds to see if the knocking was in the engine or in the governor. The engine stopped suddenly after 8 seconds. It's not fully seized - we can rotate the engine. Any chance this can be fixed, or is this engine dead?

    Thanks so much for the informative videos. I'm looking at a boat with a 2000 model Cat 3116 engine. Around 1900 hours. Should I consider not getting this boat due to the 3116 engine in it?

    Awesome video. For the last 3 months I have started my own venture and have been working on school buses and seeing a lot of 3126 hoping you'll put out a video on those and common failures and most importantly a detailed how to diag a bad heui pump.. I mostly specialize in Mack and Volvo motors coming from the dealer myself.

    Hi, I was planning on buying a LMTV for a long trip from Alaska to Argentina and has this engine (3116). So, what do you think, is this a good truck for the job? And if I get a problem like that, how expensive and easy to get parts would it be? Thanks for your vids!

    I have a 3116 in a topkick that has been fighting me for a while now.. started to lose power and then wouldnt start at all. There is a tube covering the linkage between the head and governor. I slid the tube into the head and moved the linkage manually. The engine fired right up. The Diaphragm and line to it hold air. Would low oil pressure cause the governor to shut the fuel off? Or is that oil line just for lubrication?

    Aahh, the dreaded 3116!!.. only thing I ever enjoyed about working on them is watching it leave when I was finished! Never worked on on-highway, just industrial and epg. After years of experience with them I've learned couple of things, if it needs cups buy a reman head, if the governor/transfer pump starts acting up buy a reman, if the engine is wore out buy a reman!!. Changing the head is faster and cheaper than fighting cups, the governor's aren't worth trying to repair locally vs the cost of a reman, and being an internal bore block, it's cheaper to buy a cat reman vs going thru local machine shops. There are tricks to setting the fuel system much quicker, but it still requires the cat fuel setting group. All in all I'm glad they are all gone from around here!

    Have you ever had one race to the point it bent both pushrods on the same cylinder. Less than 30k miles but has been sitting. Ran fine. Gave it throttle. Fourth time on throttle it ran away and wouldn't cut off. Questioning governor or rack.. i have worked on diesels, but as you mentioned mechanical injector in a 1991 topkick. Never had one take off before like this.

    I have a Marine 3116 rated at 350hp....it suddenly lost a lot of power after picking up bad fuel in the Bahamas. The tanks are now clean, there engine starts and runs well but tops out at 1200rpm. All boost hoses are in tact and there is is no black smoke and there are no air bubbles in the return line . Does the governor in the transfer pump have to open up from oil pressure or boost pressure?......late model mui injectors

    I have a 94 Kodiak with the 3116 I’m removing the under cab exhaust and muffler to vertical exhaust will I need a muffle to have (back pressure) on the turbo in order it to spoil up properly I have been told the truck will have no power if it’s a straight pipe. The truck will be used for farm use not highway use

    Install a straight pipe exhaust if you wish. The turbo will spool up even if there is no exhaust pipe or muffler, because it is mainly the exhaust flow out of the exhaust manifold that determines the turbo rpm.
