hi.
i have a caterpillar d6d 4x series that got rainwater in engine. may have been that way a few weeks. was doing some work on engine when this happened. sucked all the water out with suction gun and soaked it with atf and acetone. pulled injectors and did the same.
want to turn it over by hand before using starter.
before the rain issue it had sat about a year before doing repairs. have not bought batteries to attempt to do it with starter. do not want to buy expensive batteries if i am facing a total rebuild issue. will take a few years just to save that much money! batteries would die in that period of time.
want to BE CAREFUL.
id there a barring tool available online? is there a bellhousing port to use it? Or, do i need to pull the starter and use the tool?
never have used a barring tool before.
i have also heard you can take an old started and modify it with a pull handle on end of shaft. would hate to have to locate a starter and do all that work....
i can google a 3306 barring tool and it pulls up a sprocket socket on amazon. how does it stay stationary against the flywheel? is there a separate bellhousing port than the starter hole?
i cannot get a socket and pull handle on the harmonic balancer/crank nut. too tight of a space. i also do not want to damage the nut.
any tips and tricks? tool or links of tools?
thanks!!!
