this proves american exceptionalism. at first you were very upset, i heard it. then you just went right in. and never gave up. i'm very impressed. including manufacturing your own needed tools. God blessed you.
Thank You and Happy New Year to You also. After milling and cutting for oversize valve seats, if there are any sharp spots left he can smooth them over with a dremel tool to avoid hot spots, if he finds that he can't fix it, he knows where to get a replacement.
Pull that oil pickup......you will need it off anyway to clean any metal particles out of it. Enjoying this video and some of your others too....great to see you keeping the truck on the road.
I don't know how to change the mains and knock out the pistons with the oil pump in there, I was just finding an easier and cleaner way to get the pan off before I froze and it was getting dark. Thanks for enjoying the videos.
I don't do well in the cold at all, it has to be at least in the mid 30s or I simply can't work outside unless I can wear gloves, but there's not much one can do with gloves on an engine, mid to upper 40s is not too bad if not too much wind I'll be happy when it gets above 70.
I have a 99 DD12.7 in a 97 classic, that my Pop and I have been talking about putting a new head on. alot I we don't know, looking for a good service manual on eBay now. I'm leaning toward taking it to a shop. Since I'm driving OTR in it. We work on 85, straight 6-300 fords ourselves, looks very much the same principles. look forward to your next video. We maybe putting a head on in February. thanks for the extra effort to put your working on your Trk out here it has been a huge help to Me.
Thank You for the comment. You do need a service manual or at least copies of the pages pertaining to that job, you need some special tools, and a way to safely lift the 300 LB. head 8' to 10' high and go sideways with it. I can't do much more to my truck right now because of the weather, but I think I will be back on it next week.
leaving the weight of the exhaust manifold and turbo bends the oil return tube on the turbo, is best to remove everything or unbolt the base of the oil return tube.
Interesting video. I wonder if you lucked out and the part of the dropped valve fell into the oil pan instead of doing damage to the bottom end of the block.
We'll see today, I doubt anything happened beyond what we already have seen, there are a lot of pieces of piston in the pan, it was cold and getting dark when I got the pan off last night and I just turned it upside down to let the water and pieces drain out and went inside.
I sure do. I'm a diesel fanatic you might say so I will definitely stay tuned to see what you can find out with you engine. By the way about 30 years or so ago I helped with a rebuild of a Cat 3406. Interesting.
the sensor is just a coolant temperature sensor, the programming of the ecm determines what shuts down the engine, oil pressure, coolant level, coolant temperature etc.
I'm removing my oil pan tomorrow. Replacing oil pan gasket , what you use to take off big bolt with black tube on it. I think its called dip stick tube
Dipstick tube doesn't come off for the oil pan. I think you're looking at a suction oil change deal that comes off with a open end wrench or a crescent wrench. You can send me a pic to my email gordonrdiy@yahoo.com
if the head bolts are stuck- coolant got past the liner counterbores and boiled in the head bolt holes. check the counterbores closely once you clean the block. and clean the crap out of the head bolt holes. new head bolts torqued to the new higher spec.
Make sure you check your rockers on that cylinder to make sure they are not bent, also check your Jake on that cylinder to make sure the plunger did not stick, another thing is to check the dowel pin on the cam to make sure its not bent because some of them did bend and it of coarse throws out the timing. I would be willing to bet they put that head back on with a impact, lots of high volume shops do it. Your ears must be better than mine I could not understand what your buddy was saying :)
I'll check all that. The camera glasses have the mic about 4" from my mouth, and the motor was drowning out my friends voice, is why I could hear him fine. I am thankful for excellent hearing, I wish I could stop my eyesight from fading, but it's normal for 59 yrs. especially since I weld a lot, and am in bright daylight all the time.
I never had the gift of great sight but have pretty good ears, the bad thing is I have tinnitus and when there is noise around and someone talking it makes things harder for me to hear clearly.
Some people think I may have trouble hearing if they don't know me well because I do have A.D.D. and am not a good listener, so I like to have the volume turned up on T.V. or ask people to repeat or slow down (give me a chance to process) I physically hear everything good, I just need a little extra time to process it, or turn up the volume to drown out other activity or my own daydreaming.
My injectors cups just when out i believe,, fuel and antifreeze coming out from the exhaust hot side turbo last week in Joplin driving back from Ohio 🤦🏾♂️
Great videos Gordon I'm facing the same job doing an inframe on the same engine would you recommend doing it yourself and would you have any hints to make it go smoothly
If you want to do it yourself it would be a good experience but be sure to watch all 3 hours of this series and maybe some of the other YT channels videos so you know exactly what your getting into and the tools and other equipment needed. I ended up needing to put in some coolant stop leak due to possible head gasket issues, I heard in the comments that the torque specs were revised because of this.
New bolt torque with the revised head bolts is 220 ft-lb. Sequence 1, then torque again same torque for sequence 2. If you don't, the middle bolts will be loose.
I was mistaken, I apologize. Your #5 piston skirt towards the back of the engine is cracked. You more than likely will need new pistons, skirts and liners.
So what's the reason this happened? was the valve spring broken so the valve contacted the piston? or did the piston break first and then the valve hit it afterwards?
A valve broke from many years of use. The machine shop told me they see this on Detroits now and then and is why they always replace all the valves when they do a rebuild.
The liners had wear just not in the same place as a gas engine would. I've had that truck since it was 6 years old and had 619,xxx miles on it, it was original.
It sounds like might be head gasket. If you do not have a water filter, you can try stop leak, if you do have a water filter you can bypass it and use stop leak. If that doesn't work then change the head gasket.
Yeah I see a whole bunch of spelling mistakes in my one sentence! Wow I did not use a capital letter! I watched your video for 39 seconds and realised there is nothing here to watch! Who does an inframe outside?
A 16mm 12 pt. impact socket is a special order socket that doesn't come in most sets and I used what I could find to get the head to the machine shop as soon as possible. You are the 1st person to find something like that to point a spotlight at, I could always find little things like that in people's videos but would never stoop that low to mention it. The special order sockets have arrived and may not ever get used but they're here if I need them again.
i have no reason to learn about big rigs, but i love watching your videos!
Thank you Sir. I love hearing things like that.

Thanks for watching and commenting on my videos Douglas.
the machinist will be a miracle worker for the head for sure, best wishes for the new year.

I'm really enjoying your videos. great work.
Thank you sir.
Quick tip for the oil pan, lift up on the frame and let the axle drop down. Makes it a heck of a lot easier to pull the pan the rest of the way out.
Man. I love your videos 😍
Keep it up 💪
Great informative video as always! thank you for sharing with us. I hope it'll run as a brand new after, even a little better.
I hope so too. Thank You.
Fixing the pull ahead off just like that I've seen your spare key hanging there nice spot

You should have a couple of good weather days for the weekend. Good luck and have a Happy New year.

Hopefully that valve is just sitting in the bottom of the oil pan.
Congrats on clearing 1K+ subscribers! Looks like your channel is growing!
There was a lot of stuff in the pan with the valve, you can see it on part 6. Thanks for the congrats.

Do you live in the St. Louis area?
Yes I do. Actually 20 miles or so west of St. Louis.
I thought so with your videos from Pacific, You know I live in Caseyville.
I sure do. I'm a diesel fanatic you might say so I will definitely stay tuned to see what you can find out with you engine. By the way about 30 years or so ago I helped with a rebuild of a Cat 3406. Interesting.

Make sure you check your rockers on that cylinder to make sure they are not bent, also check your Jake on that cylinder to make sure the plunger did not stick, another thing is to check the dowel pin on the cam to make sure its not bent because some of them did bend and it of coarse throws out the timing. I would be willing to bet they put that head back on with a impact, lots of high volume shops do it. Your ears must be better than mine I could not understand what your buddy was saying :)

well the broken parts explains all the racket she was making. as long as the bottom end is OK I'm sure you will have her back to former glory : )
Tomorrow I will start taking out pistons and cleaning inside the block, then I will know for sure that it's ready to go back together.
you have to remove bolts in reverse order. so you don't warp head.
I'm in love with dd60s.
I hope my isx doesn't hear me.

How many miles you run in between oil change?
I am not sure where you get the numbering of cylinders, but #5 is the 2nd one from the rear next to #6, not near the front of the engine. OMG
I was mistaken, I apologize. Your #5 piston skirt towards the back of the engine is cracked. You more than likely will need new pistons, skirts and liners.
So what's the reason this happened? was the valve spring broken so the valve contacted the piston? or did the piston break first and then the valve hit it afterwards?

Thanks Sir for your reply.
Maybe the engine was rebuilt before you bought the truck? cuz it's hard to believe the liners are like new after 1.5million miles.
The liners had wear just not in the same place as a gas engine would. I've had that truck since it was 6 years old and had 619,xxx miles on it, it was original.
My truck has to much pressure on my coolant reservoir and some black spots look like grease anyone know what it could be???
It sounds like might be head gasket. If you do not have a water filter, you can try stop leak, if you do have a water filter you can bypass it and use stop leak. If that doesn't work then change the head gasket.
Gordon Robertson DIY thank very much
Gordon are from ilinois
Yes, near St. Louis.
Great videos thank you soo much for you time an making this videos to help other
Thank You for subscribing
Old-school
chrome socket used on a impact gun to take head bolts out! hhhhmmm something wrong here?
Another big mouth no name no face know it all hiding in the shadows, where's your videos? something's wrong here.
Sorry, I forgot to mention your spelling and punctuation is lacking. Thanks for watching anyway.
What I was false?
