The footage captures part of a complete engine overhaul aboard a working vessel, where precision, cleanliness, and component quality are crucial to long-term performance.

The Cummins KTA19 is a 19-liter, turbocharged and aftercooled diesel engine widely used in marine, power generation, and heavy-duty industrial equipment.
