If you have an upcoming engine overhaul, have you considered the complete engine package?
The reason I ask is that during a recent overhaul of a Cat 3408 generator, the timescales nearly had to be extended because additional consumables were required.
Whilst helping to remove the radiator for some repair work, we found the radiator anti-vibration mounts had perished.
But because it was considered an “engine overhaul”, the work scope (and spares) had been organised just for the engine.
What should have happened was the work scope considered ALL the assemblies in the package, which would have covered these mounts (based on engine hours) and the client wouldn’t have been left exposed to potential delays.
The pictures below show the state of the mounts before the job and then the new mounts fitted.
