Is this the first teardown you've seen on this channel? There are nearly 120 more I've filmed over the last two years. You can find them here:    • Blown Up Engine Tear Downs! A collect...  
Last week I started the teardown process on the first medium duty engine I've had on the channel. A Caterpillar 3126 7.2L Turbodiesel inline 6. If you haven't seen that video, watch it here first:
   • A CAT DIESEL!? Caterpillar 3126 7.2L ...  
This was an engine I found on Facebook marketplace with a suspected fueling issue and two "Bad looking" cylinders. In part one, we dismantled the top of the engine removing the fuel system, valve train and cylinder head as well as the turbo, exhaust manifold and some other parts. We found some issues for sure, but was it enough to condemn the engine?
Before I started this teardown series, I watched a few videos on this engine on another channel that were EXTREMELY helpful in both the teardown process and learning what to look for. That channel is @AdeptApe and is loaded with awesome CAT content.
Why am I doing this? I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model is dismantling core or bad engines and salvaging the good parts. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do.
For parts or to peruse our inventory you can visit www.Importapart.com or email us at [email protected].

I hope you enjoyed this teardown, I can't promise any more engines of this nature on the channel but it was great to step outside of my comfort zone. Really enjoyed working on this engine as it was designed to be serviced!
As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you all on the next one!
