You have the most patience of anyone I have ever seen breaking an engine down. No cursing or throwing of parts or wrenches... at least not on camera. You are just steady at it. If I ever have to do this I will know how now...
I went through this with a 1989 Toyota 22r. The oil was very milky so I figured it was a head gasket. Even on that truck it was a hell of a job. The gasket didn't look bad. I couldn't find anything obvious. I didn't know about checking the head for warpage until later. Put it back together and I still had milky oil. Someone told me that that truck sometimes leaked coolant into the oil through the front of the engine if the timing chain was sloppy enough to slap up against the aluminum inside and wear it away. So, I did that job and found immediately that the guides were broken and the timing chain had been wearing away some of the aluminum, but still there wasn't anything obvious except one tiny place where it seem paper thin with the tiniest cracks in it. Anyway, did the repairs I needed and put it back together with not a lot of hope that I had fixed the problem--but apparently I had. It is still good.
Yep, I put 3 timing chains, guides and tensioners on my truck. A weak part of that Engine. Seems most vehicles have some type of consistent weak areas. 😃
I really enjoy your videos! The time you take to film, edit and post is so appreciated, It is like we are there looking over your shoulder. No matter how long, I watch all your videos (your dad's as well). Thank you for posting.
Jessie, amazing job on your videos. For all the youtubers that "skip over" tons of parts on their how to automotive videos, or don't even bother to show you anything and just talk about it instead. This is cinematic mastery. (also, watching this I wished for Jessie that he had a 1/4" air ratchet, seems like it really would have helped)
Jesse I have no skills that I could teach you but to see you include your children in the work you do is the most rewarding thing you will ever do. Cherish every moments.
I had a customer come in with a Cummins that had a cooler leak, and I would of assumed it was what you said, it developed a pin hole leak. Though the guy was cheap and did not want to spend money for a replacement, said he'd do it him self, ok, good luck to ya. That same truck came back about 3 months later for an alignment, he rigged up an aftermarket oil cooler on it and left the bad cooler on it, he used some epoxy to plug up the holes, By the time he rigged it, he could of just bought one at a pull apart place lol.
Jesse, your footage made it seem like I did it myself. After watching the full meticulous event, I think I could do one of those Dodge Cummings without any worry about whether I could put it back together. Little do we know, our hidden talents show in the most inconspicuous ways.
Jesse, it’s great to have another video from you. I could watch your videos 24/7. I don’t know how you have such knowledge about everything you do, but you are truly amazing. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This video I enjoyed fully, talk about how it looks like you are so used to working in tight places, and doing everything in a tight precise step by step disciplined manner is such an Awesome experience to watch and learn with you.
In the middle of building my 12 valve as we speak. A lot less to worry about in the purely mechanical engines. I'm doing "all the things" to it. 60lbs valve springs, 191 delivery valves, 5x14 injectors, machined rocker pedestals, 3K/4K gov springs, 220k lbs head studs, etc.
I have a 12 valve with 60k miles on it in a dump truck. I have had it for 10 years, did a 5 speed swap to it with a nv4500 that I built from pieces. it got pushed to the back burner when I started this channel,but when I get my new garage in order it will sit in there until it is on the road and ready to drive. I love those 12 valves.
Good feeling when projects start to come to a close and things getting organized. Another great video, excited to see the shop build. Hopefully the weather holds off for a little.
Makes me appreciate my 12 valve, mechanical fuel injection,1st gen even more. So far, over 400,000. Head and oil pan have never been off. Can't say it's been the same for other components (fuel pump, injectors, various gaskets & seals), but I really don't think I have room to complain, and I have more room to work on it. They adopted that "semi-truck" look, I would have been happy to see them adopt the swing up hood/fender design so they could be easier to work on. Having to stand on your head, or fold yourself up like a grasshopper, in order to reach something, gets really troublesome the older (and stiffer) you get. Has Mom stopped being amazed at how dirty Noah can get yet? 🙂 "A boy is noise ... with dirt on it!" As it should be.
I have a 12 valve and it is a pain to do the tappet cover gasket and the killer dowel pin but yea other than that they are pretty straight forward. but those 2 things you dont have to deal with on the 24 valve
amazing video as always Jessie, it would have been great for us to see the machine shop doing the work on the head, as he done such an amazing job, it would have been free advertisment for his machine shop aswell
Good job Jessie I always enjoy your videos good job again We'll be watching it again can't wait till you put your Garage up That should be good video So we'll catch you on next one stay safe and have a good day
Glad you're getting the new shop. Most people would be tickled to have your current shop. I remember when you built it; I think you mentioned you may turn it into a paint shop. Great work.
I had the same problem (Oil in the water but no water in the oil) twice on my old 1.9tdi VW passat (second time at 200K miles) - It was a small pipe in the coolant line that fails apparently - now I am fascinated to watch the rest of the video and see if the head gasket fixes it on your cummins.
Thanks Jesse! Sounds like there is light at the end of the tunnel…house done , garage done soon, refurbish the equipment and then on to many projects. You’re a hard worker!
Putting the item you're pressure testing into hot water makes sense because the heat will expand the metal somewhat, and make a pinhole leak more apparent, especially since this usually works at temperature and could only leak at working temperature.
Just a heads up. Noticed that the orientation of the valve bridges is incorrect on some cylinders. The bridges have nipples on one side and underneath there is a larger oval that fits over the valve stem. The nipple should face toward the exhaust side of the head. Hope this helps and that no damage has occured yet because of this. Thanks for the great content! 1:16:01
Great video! Cause it's the real deal - how a normal guy in his garage would need to proceed -of course many variations depending on what tools you have available. I would also replace any swollen rubber hoses for oil/coolant cross contamination - cause I had a lower rad hose pop when I didn't. Thanks for sharing it!
I had a toyota pu that had the same problem. First time I pulled the head it took two days. Part of that just rounding up the tools. I replaced the gasket but was a little unsure of the direction of putting sealant around one of the water ports. It still leaed af that so I redid it a different way. Still leaked. Took it back off and found a small crack in cylinder wall. Got a used head , still leaked. Had used head machined. Still leaded. Another new gasket. Still leaked. By now I can remove head in less than two hours. Know which wrench for every bolt and best way to reach them. In the end the oil was coming in from a hole in the jacket on the water pump. Live and learn.
You were speaking of wiring harnesses “holding” their position, here’s a funny story about that. I’m an automotive tech, I had a customer with like a 2015 fusion or something, blew a hole in a piston so he got a junkyard motor and swapped it out and he said the new engine was running horribly and would barely start, he took the motor back out and put another junkyard motor in it only to find this second one was doing the same thing so he got it towed up to our shop. What I found was the MAP sensor and I believe the fuel rail pressure sensor were the exact same plug and he had them switched, I switched them back and it ran like a top lol, dude was so mad he replaced the engine the second time for no reason lol. But you are correct that for the most part the harness will just fall back into place
As usual, excellent work, congratulations ! You have a wealth of knowledge ! What's more, you work neatly and tidily. I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for all your hard work Jesse. 👍 JC (France)
Awesome work. Should use a radiator flush additive (can get one that is specifically radiator oil remover) and drive it around till its hot (says on the bottle), and then hook the garden hose to it down low somewhere, and force it up and out the cap (as you said), rather than draining it. The flush additive will help bind the oil (emulsify it) and get it out.
"Cold air intake" make you loose power and damage the engine. Air sucked in is hotter,and not filtered correctly compared to OEM filter. Keep a stock airbox,and add an other hose picking cold air where the stock is,or even mount a bigger airbox from a bigger displacement engine. Tuning the engine does not help for reliability,it creates lot of stress ,including on head gasket. You better clean yours or mount a bigger intercooler,and reduce fueling to lower EGT.
Jesse, for the turbo get a hold of savage fabrication. I have the same turbo you have he jut put a bigger turbine and housing on it. The guy is very good at that stuff!
Enjoyed this video, but I do need to point you to a tool that makes removing hoses much easier. Harbor Freight sells a set of different size pliers that have a split ring on the end that grasps the hose and hose comes right off without a fight.
Jesse, Thanks. I know along with your viewers appreciate the time, effort, and consistency with which you post videos is very appreciated. Have a great week and stay safe.
Great video 👍 If you want to tune and monitor your truck then Banks power is the way to go,if the bulldog ECU goes bad then it's trouble when towing etc but banks goes straight back to OEM 😊
Might try a nonfoaming detergent mixed in the radiator. Then I think letting it overflow with a catch pan under it would be the best cleaning option. Looking forward to the new shop build.
Well done Jesse, this was interesting for me, i'm not a mechanic but i know how engines work and your narration explains exactly how to do it. Here in NZ i drive a 2010 Dodge Journey 2.7 litre Gas, which has been neglected by previous owners, so it has cost us quite a bit on maintenance since we bought it in 2019. It's ongoing repairs, but a lovely car to drive, with lots of power and excellent stopping ability with all wheel disc brakes. Regards, Bob.
when we did ours it was warped but unless you have a 300 dollar straight edge you wont know its warped. we had the machine shop change all of our valve seals and deck the head and some ither things. they also checked for cracks. it was 550 for everything. reno nv
Great job! The dread and the feeling you get of "I've got a lot of work ahead of me" that you feel the first time you see oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil is not a very pleasant thing. Doing what Jessie did and just grab some tools and start tackling the job are the only thing you can do. (Or pay $5,000 for the dealership to install a $60 head gasket for you lol)
I find passenger vehicles frustrating to work on because so often you are working for hours just trying to get to the parts that need repair. And it seems little thought is put in to repairs when they design them. Like having to cut mounting brackets to take off a simple hose. SMH. Nice work.
yep, medium and heavy duty trucks have lots of room to work. A head gasket on one of my bigger trucks would have been half the work. Mini excavators and newer skidsteers are the worst to work on though
Awesome video Jesse and nice to watch.. Having done my own motor mechanics qualification at college i totally appreciate what you just went through and i did not envy you one bit lol! Thanks for sharing and see you on the next one!
I thought you had put that on way early compared to disassembly. But it had been 20 min for me. But prob a few days for you. Glad it all went together with no issues dude.
Nice work! love the in line 6 all from the top, my son and I did the heads on his Subaru WRX, it's like twice the work with the opposed piston 2.0, such a pain in the arse. Keep up the good work and Thank you
So glad it went well for you. That could have been a crack somewhere in the system and need very expensive parts or replacement engine. After rbuilding my MGB GT the Kenlow fan was fouling on the chasis and I didn't notice, so on the North Circular it over heated and I piut cold water in it. Dumb ass me !!! The head then cracked and I had to replace that ! Looking forward to your ICF house being finished :)
I owned a ninety two Dodge Dakota for ten years . I own a estate maintenance company , that truck would start before you could say one thousand one every time. Not only that the factory battery lasted nine years nine months almost to the day before I replaced it . The place where purchased the new battery were in almost disbelief that it was a factory installed battery until it was removed .
Hey Jesse Man, I really enjoy your videos. As many have already commented your use of camera and lighting is excellent. Would you mind letting me know what camera you are using? Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next one. Kind Regards JC
I was told well I actually used coffee filters for a lint free rags like when you want to wipe the deck off of your engine block, good way to go put a little carb cleaner in there and make sure it’s absolutely clean and dry and this is where I would take the opportunity if I was you to put in Headstuds that really helps. OK guys good luck.
You don't truly appreciate every ratchet and every extension and every variation of every socket in your box until you do a head gasket job! The worst is when you have sealant on the headbolts that go through to the water jacket, and don't have the right combination of sockets / adapters to get to that one tricky bolt... and have to make an emergency run to the store to cobble something together that actually fits on the torque wrench before the sealant on the bolts sets up...

The intro and opening the shop doors was like a scene from the A Team. Awkward job and confined space job. Nicely done, Jessie

Thats a very common problem on those truck. I have done many

@@jmuller86 Cool, I'll keep my eye out for the project.
A video from Jesse. My day is complete.
Thanks for taking along for the ride. I know you spend much time filming and editing. Can’t wait for that 40 x 60 garage.
Goooooooo Jesse!
I rarely record videos with me doing the work. I totally understand the effort that's required!
Good feeling when projects start to come to a close and things getting organized. Another great video, excited to see the shop build. Hopefully the weather holds off for a little.
I remember those days when i had 350 and 6.2 GM diesels - glow plugs timers injector pumps and of course head gaskets
always fun LOL
just did head gaskets on my 6.5 GM diesel last year - it was tons of fun (not)
Makes me appreciate my 12 valve, mechanical fuel injection,1st gen even more. So far, over 400,000. Head and oil pan have never been off.

With Noah overseeing head bolt torque sequence, this Cummins gonna run like a top!
Great job Jesse. Everyone loves your repair videos. Don't change. Well maybe just change to Chevy.
I’m super pumped for more vehicle and equipment content coming by the sounds of it!
Your oil removal technique is good advice!
Good job Jessie I always enjoy your videos good job again We'll be watching it again can't wait till you put your Garage up That should be good video So we'll catch you on next one stay safe and have a good day

Bigger intercooler helps with EGTs too :)
Man, I don't envy you having to do that job with hand tools, Jesse!😮
You and Andrew Camarata and even your father are my favourite RUclipsrs, just saying.
Thanks for the video Jesse. I enjoyed and looking forward to the next one. Be blessed...☝️🙏🙌💪🇺🇸❤️🎯
Nice job Jesse! As always I admire your work ethic and your skill to tackle tough jobs. Take care.
"Cold air intake" make you loose power and damage the engine.

This was great, Jesse. So glad to see all your plans coming together. I'll keep watching. Thanks for sharing all of this with us.
Dishwasher soap works really good. We had to do that to our combine the oil cooler had a leak in it.
Matt at Diesel Creek just put in a new 40' x 60' work shop this summer with radiant floor heating!
Jesse, for the turbo get a hold of savage fabrication. I have the same turbo you have he jut put a bigger turbine and housing on it. The guy is very good at that stuff!
I watch quite a few videos and I like your content and your explanations of what you’re working on, well done.
Good job Jesse. Looks like a real pita.
And I just did cam phasers on a 3.5l ecoboost.
9/25/23;..always enjoy yur videos & admire your great attitude toward hands-on-get-it-done...A+ Stay safe & carry on!👍👍💪😊🍺
Your the best Jesse, it's all in the details thank you for "greatness"
Something new, something different, thank you for sharing. 😊
Excellent video. Very informative as well as enjoyable. Down to earth.
Enjoyed this video, but I do need to point you to a tool that makes removing hoses much easier.
Harbor Freight sells a set of different size pliers that have a split ring on the end that grasps the hose and hose comes right off without a fight.
Jesse,
Thanks. I know along with your viewers appreciate the time, effort, and consistency with which you post videos is very appreciated. Have a great week and stay safe.
Great video 👍 If you want to tune and monitor your truck then Banks power is the way to go,if the bulldog ECU goes bad then it's trouble when towing etc but banks goes straight back to OEM 😊
Way beyond anything I would try. But I expect you saved a grand or more. Nice work.
Thanks for taking us wrenching with you!
👍👍👍
Might try a nonfoaming detergent mixed in the radiator. Then I think letting it overflow with a catch pan under it would be the best cleaning option. Looking forward to the new shop build.
Well done Jesse, this was interesting for me, i'm not a mechanic but i know how engines work and your narration explains exactly how to do it. Here in NZ i drive a 2010 Dodge Journey 2.7 litre Gas, which has been neglected by previous owners, so it has cost us quite a bit on maintenance since we bought it in 2019. It's ongoing repairs, but a lovely car to drive, with lots of power and excellent stopping ability with all wheel disc brakes. Regards, Bob.
when we did ours it was warped but unless you have a 300 dollar straight edge you wont know its warped. we had the machine shop change all of our valve seals and deck the head and some ither things. they also checked for cracks. it was 550 for everything. reno nv
Would love to see the plans for your new shop. Going to be great seeing that go up.
Good job, you should get a Milwaukee M12 rachet, they are amazing speed every job up
Great job! The dread and the feeling you get of "I've got a lot of work ahead of me" that you feel the first time you see oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil is not a very pleasant thing. Doing what Jessie did and just grab some tools and start tackling the job are the only thing you can do. (Or pay $5,000 for the dealership to install a $60 head gasket for you lol)
Yep. Having a mechanic work on stuff that I can do is just not an option for me. Its only tires/alignments and crazy computer stuff that I cant do
Nice work, a Milwaukee or whatever brand battery powered ratchet is a must
I’m always amazed that no curse words are used. I open the hood and see the engine and I’m cursing only to add windshield fluid.
Wow, great job , thank you for sharing, i learn a lot , always a pleasure watch your video 👍👍👍👍

Tremendous effort Jess! I’m pumped for a decent shop for you. You do so much with what you have that shop will send you to heights never imagined.
Incredible engineering
No room to work under the hood! Back in the day I remember a guy working on a 318ci impala standing in the engine compartment!
Man you gotta dope the cash on an electrical ratchet. It’s an absolute game change my friend.
So glad it went well for you. That could have been a crack somewhere in the system and need very expensive parts or replacement engine. After rbuilding my MGB GT the Kenlow fan was fouling on the chasis and I didn't notice, so on the North Circular it over heated and I piut cold water in it. Dumb ass me !!! The head then cracked and I had to replace that ! Looking forward to your ICF house being finished :)
Be tenacious carry on buddy you got a plan make it work
Great watch thanks man keep them Cummins 👍👋🇨🇦
❤ Great job Jessie😊. Why don't they give any room to move in these engine? I love the old engines so simple. ❤
It’s the bright idea of some ignorant engineers.
I am not builder or mechanic but love watch your videos. Just relax me, I event slept during watch of this video 😅
In my opinion many head gasket jobs fail because of stretched bolts,well played on getting the new one
Great vid Jesse!
I have used dish soap for years, works great.
Sweet repair, JM. Come to CT and fix my stuff...
I owned a ninety two Dodge Dakota for ten years . I own a estate maintenance company , that truck would start before you could say one thousand one every time. Not only that the factory battery lasted nine years nine months almost to the day before I replaced it .

Hey Jesse
Man, I really enjoy your videos. As many have already commented your use of camera and lighting is excellent. Would you mind letting me know what camera you are using? Keep up the good work and I look forward to your next one.
Kind Regards

I was told well I actually used coffee filters for a lint free rags like when you want to wipe the deck off of your engine block, good way to go put a little carb cleaner in there and make sure it’s absolutely clean and dry and this is where I would take the opportunity if I was you to put in Headstuds that really helps. OK guys good luck.
Great work Jess.
You don't truly appreciate every ratchet and every extension and every variation of every socket in your box until you do a head gasket job! The worst is when you have sealant on the headbolts that go through to the water jacket, and don't have the right combination of sockets / adapters to get to that one tricky bolt... and have to make an emergency run to the store to cobble something together that actually fits on the torque wrench before the sealant on the bolts sets up...
