Matt, I'm a retired A.S.E master tech and I have to say that I couldn't have done a better job rebuilding that engine. The work you performed was almost surgical in nature and you paid attention to every detail. I hope you are very proud of the outcome and I hope the engine performs well into the future for you.
Matt, The fact that you took the time to go thru that engine CORRECTLY and have ADS do the pump is why it popped off on the first try. GOOD JOD!! It sounds really good. Gonna give you years of service.
I am a retired engine builder and it doesn't get much better than this. Pay attention, take notes, and don't give in to impatience, usually an expensive learning curve.
Great job. You deserve more credit than you gave yourself for the instant start. Area Diesel was certainly a factor but your attention to detail is what made it a successful first start. I'm looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing.
Your meticulous attention to detail is second to none. Great job as always. Really enjoy your vids. And thanks for the bonus footage of Charlie. She's a beautiful dog and obviously loves being around you. 🙂
Don't neglect the Datto too long. I've had a 84' Celica sitting half done for so long that I've forgotten were I was up to with wiring and hoses are already going stiff. But way cool to have the rebuild fire up on the 1st crank!!
Anticlimactic or not, it big win in my eyes. Hydraulics used to be a mystery to me, but with your guidance I reckon it's making a lot more sense, so I hope the pump is next or soon after :)
Charlie is a pretty girl, good to see you Matt! Looks like you have everything under control brother, nice set up Matt! One thing is you always do everything right my friend! I really enjoy watching your channel, I’m sure everything will be a success Matt! She sounds great brother, I had no doubt my friend! You’re the MAN!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I worked in the logging business In Winchester and Roseburg Oregon with Savage and Ramey log Loaders as the Hydraulics boss...any good pump is worth a good look and rebuild...We always used "Commercial Shearing pumps" and Funk drive plates...You have done a excellent Job to be proud of...I know personally how much work is required and the effort you put out...
I haven’t done much this morning except watch your video of getting the engine going and boy do I feel accomplished thanks for all your effort and time sharing what you’ve done with this engine,,,very inspiring
A quick video getting the Z started would be good, just so YOU can enjoy it. I assume it's mostly going to be a full service and cleaning the fuel system to get it going. I would definitely go through that pump, or at least flush it thoroughly with fresh fluid - that's a LOT of work to redo if something happens once it is put back together.
I know a lot of your viewers are as skilled as you in engine rebuilds; but, you're separated from the crowd because you can produce, direct, edit and publish videos encompassing the whole process. Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats Matt on a job well done - don't sell your self short - you attention to detail an methodical pace are a joy to watch - I look forward to your next video.
The cab. I usually prefer the mechanical stuff, but I'm looking forward to seeing you clean up that roached out cab. Maybe because it's so dirty and beat up.
Outstanding Matt, another work of art,very well done! Folks we have a runner! I would try and tackle the hydro pump after you get the Z running, that small block Chevy needs to stretch it's legs and Matt needs a fun run.🙃 Have you trued to find a decent used fuel tank?
Ha Matt, I think you should clean all the grease off the machine, spray it inside put the new harness in then the engine, that way you can clear the shop as you put it all back together. Engine sounded good.
Well Matt, you got exactly what you deserved. You did everything, well most things, that a pro would have done and it turned out really well. I must say that the surprised look on your face when it started first time was golden. You have a little gem there, just got to finish the rest of the excavator off now.
Well, you did it. She sounds good to me. The startup was quick and easy. I would attribute that, at least in part, to the thorough job you did of priming the fuel system. We’ll be anxious to see it dig a hole so keep moving forward with next steps and get her assembled. Best wishes for the remainder of the job. 🥸👍👀✅
Fantastic job with the engine. The cost on finishing the engine is kind of what I would expect from a project like this.Not even cutting the labor costs cause that can ramp up the price by a lot. I think you should do the hydraulic motor and fuel tank cause these can become a issue. Maybe install back the some components cause the hydraulic lines and hoses will be a challenge of it's own. Doing something completely else for a change is also welcome in my book.
Hi Matt, About the fuel tank, I watched a video where they attached it to a tractor wheel, filled it with hardware, nuts, bolts and nails, then spun it around for a couple of hours. Once all the rust was cleaned up then put some sealant in it and spun it again till the sealant set up. I thought if you wanted to do it there in the shop and had a cement mixer that would do the trick.
As far as the pan gasket goes. You could make yourself a bolt bridge for it out of some 1/4” steel plate. It’s basically a long washed that goes all the way around the bolt pattern. A lot of older motors have it that have tin oil pans. Sometimes no mater what you do those tin pans will still leak. Nice work man. Really nice work!!!
Good job PNH. I have a Chinese two cylinder diesel with a forward/reverse gearbox meant for marine use. It's been in my basement since the '80s. It turns over but hasn't run since then. You give me hope...maybe I'll drag it out and....?
Matt what a great job. You run your business better than most. Love this channel. I have spent 40!years as a professional technician and now am an instructor. I find myself commentating on the video out loud and my wife gets a kick out if it. Such a great job
Unlike a DC generator, you have to have the battery connected for the alternator to function correctly. The alternator has electromagnets that need to be energized before it will charge.
🇺🇲🇵🇷🇲🇽😎 Excellence series so far.. Get the machine complete and digging before you start a new project. Or the car, which is an old project. Charlie is so patient with you. She's a gem.... 😅
Great Job Matt! It was really gratifying just *watching* that engine immediately start on the first try. I can imagine how good that must have felt for you! Keep going with the excavator rebuild! I’m hooked! I want to see that thing running. You’re a lot closer than you are farther from the end. Of course, whatever you decide to work on, I’ll follow. It’s just enjoyable no matter what you do. Your whole approach to mechanics is enjoyable to watch.
THANKS MATT YOU MUST FEEL VERY SATISFIED IN THIS REBUILD /I HOPE YOU CARRY ON WITH THIS PROJECT TILL ITS COMPLET/ THEN MOVE ONTO CAR PROJECT. CHEERS AND BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR OFSIDER CHARLY.
Good job man, sounded dang good. I think the z would be fun and give you a little needed break from the equipment work. Anyways great video and thanks for sharing.
I started watching your videos when you was doing your dozer but yes, it’s always nerve-racking when you fire up a new engine, gas or diesel but congratulations man keep up the good work God bless!
Thanks for the update video. I know that it took a lot of time and money to get this far. I know that there is a lot of work left to do. Hang in there. One day you will have it done.
To be honest, the pump is now probably in better specs than those that come from the factory... The cart looks very useful, makes it a lot easier to have access everywhere than after mounting it in the tight engine space.

I'm 64 years old, but I still want to grow up and be like you! Great job with the engine build.
Best comment ever!
Always aspire!
Learning till the day you die, awesome attitude sir
I am 70 and agree.
LOL I understand I’m just now turning 16 and I still have a 74F 100 finish

Hillbilly or not a good job deserves recognition
I know Matt a bit and I assure you Hillbilly is a foil or antonym of his understanding and ability. It's just for funzies.
HOT DAMN ... she caught in 2 strokes and purrred.... Great Job Matt!!
Charlie is such an optimist. She is just so sure that you want to take a break and play fetch whenever she feels like it. :)
If you had seen a few of the earlier videos where Charlie was embarrassing Matt by licking HIS GENITALS! He has no gender dysphoria 👍😃
I am a retired engine builder and it doesn't get much better than this. Pay attention, take notes, and don't give in to impatience, usually an expensive learning curve.
After a rebuild I'd say anti-climatic is a GOOD thing!! Well done!
Means a job done right!
Can never have enough clips of Charlie in your videos.
The channel is really about Charlie trying to get him to play with her.
Great job Matt! She sounds so smooth and the fact it started on the first crank speaks volumes to your ability and skill. Way to go!
And now Glow Plugs either! At least I don't think they were wired up.
Bonus Charlie footage!!!
Almost inspirational, but my wrenching days are over. That's why I watch you!
Taking out those blackberry bushes would be a good job for the D4.
Now you have an engine! Dont have to worry about that sucker for a long while
Great job. You deserve more credit than you gave yourself for the instant start. Area Diesel was certainly a factor but your attention to detail is what made it a successful first start. I'm looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing.
Good to see Charlie in full puppy mode 😂
Come on, we all know it will start :D
Greetings from Ukraine! )
great work , sounds great, enjoy beantown
rebuild the pump everything runs off it.
be safe and then have fun
Zero minute comment: Nailed on certainty!
Your meticulous attention to detail is second to none. Great job as always. Really enjoy your vids. And thanks for the bonus footage of Charlie. She's a beautiful dog and obviously loves being around you. 🙂
That is now better than new, excellent work. Very thorough rebuild, looking forward to the rest of the refurbishment.
Don't neglect the Datto too long. I've had a 84' Celica sitting half done for so long that I've forgotten were I was up to with wiring and hoses are already going stiff.
But way cool to have the rebuild fire up on the 1st crank!!
She sounds great Matt. Great job. Now the rest of the mumbo jumbo starts lol with all those hoses.
She looks sano
That would be a great little jeep motor
Stay safe and we'll see you next time.

Yeah, finally done!
Get the Z out of the garage as little intermediate project ;-)
Looking forward to the install and operation of the machine. You have some digging to do? Yes rebuild it.
A quick video getting the Z started would be good, just so YOU can enjoy it. I assume it's mostly going to be a full service and cleaning the fuel system to get it going.
I would definitely go through that pump, or at least flush it thoroughly with fresh fluid - that's a LOT of work to redo if something happens once it is put back together.
I liked the oil primer Matt.
That was a cool startup.
I was wondering when we’d see you post again. 👍
I know a lot of your viewers are as skilled as you in engine rebuilds; but, you're separated from the crowd because you can produce, direct, edit and publish videos encompassing the whole process.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Matt. I've been waiting for the start on this engine. I can't wait to hear it run.
Outstanding effort...If all fails you could start a business building engine run stands :)
So HERE is where the starship enterprise was born. You just changed the polarity in the engine room and away she went! 😀
Congrats Matt on a job well done - don't sell your self short - you attention to detail an methodical pace are a joy to watch - I look forward to your next video.
The cab. I usually prefer the mechanical stuff, but I'm looking forward to seeing you clean up that roached out cab. Maybe because it's so dirty and beat up.

The original one was smashed, the replacement I have is less smashed. They are both rusty though
@@PacificNorthwestHillbilly well that kind of narrows down your choices......to none of the above.😁
Congradulations ! that is a mile-stone for the excavator !
Stuck in Boston!? Maybe a meet and greet at a local bar some evening this week would be cool!
Ha Matt, I think you should clean all the grease off the machine, spray it inside put the new harness in then the engine, that way you can clear the shop as you put it all back together. Engine sounded good.
The look of surprise on your face was priceless. You doubted yourself but we all knew it would run right away. Good job.
Charlie loves her stick throwing routine, you can tell she’s having fun!
very professional
We're back how sweet it is.
Sounds great congratulations on a successful first rebuild on a diesel engine
Hi Matt, great to see that all the hard work paid off with a near perfect initial run. Great channel
hey Matt, I'm quite sure you were the only one person in the world surprised that it worked on the first try!!! Excellent job!!!
Sounds good Matt. An I deal temp for a diesel is 200° but that's very hard to maintain that . Great job .
Wow!! Nice job on the engine. Sounds and runs better than new.
Well Matt, you got exactly what you deserved. You did everything, well most things, that a pro would have done and it turned out really well. I must say that the surprised look on your face when it started first time was golden. You have a little gem there, just got to finish the rest of the excavator off now.
Respekt!!!!😵💫🧐🤓👌✌👍👍
Cool.
Success Matt! Congratulations! And those were great shots of Charlie also.
Good Video
Beautiful job!!!!! Sounds awesome!!!!!!
Well, you did it. She sounds good to me. The startup was quick and easy. I would attribute that, at least in part, to the thorough job you did of priming the fuel system.

No problem startup! Area Diesel certainly did their part but all of YOUR care and attention to detail counts to the end result.
Hi Matt, About the fuel tank, I watched a video where they attached it to a tractor wheel, filled it with hardware, nuts, bolts and nails, then spun it around for a couple of hours.

I think that was mustie
Amazing job mat be proud ,uk
Congrats on finally getting ur motor to run great. lv this build.
As far as the pan gasket goes. You could make yourself a bolt bridge for it out of some 1/4” steel plate. It’s basically a long washed that goes all the way around the bolt pattern. A lot of older motors have it that have tin oil pans. Sometimes no mater what you do those tin pans will still leak. Nice work man. Really nice work!!!
Charley looks happy it's spring
Nice Work! Great to see. This should get me motivated in rebuilding a couple of mopar 2.7s. Just need the time.
Great rebuild job
The most beautiful engine rebuild ever. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Massive RESPECT, from Nagaland, India.
Sure sounds nice - great work to get it there.
Good job PNH. I have a Chinese two cylinder diesel with a forward/reverse gearbox meant for marine use. It's been in my basement since the '80s. It turns over but hasn't run since then. You give me hope...maybe I'll drag it out and....?
Congrats
I SO enjoy seeing people who are way smarter than me doing amazing jobs!
I love all your content Matt, I love seeing your dog enjoy time with Dad even more.
Matt what a great job. You run your business better than most. Love this channel. I have spent 40!years as a professional technician and now am an instructor. I find myself commentating on the video out loud and my wife gets a kick out if it. Such a great job
Unlike a DC generator, you have to have the battery connected for the alternator to function correctly. The alternator has electromagnets that need to be energized before it will charge.
Nice work, the engine sounds very good. 👍
Good job! I am excited to see the engine done.
Oh boy...lol youre willing to fuss fidgit and find solutions...
Rube goldberg is in the house.....
Charlie is a hoot...
At 1250 it sounds very familiar brings me back that sound does.
🇺🇲🇵🇷🇲🇽😎 Excellence series so far.. Get the machine complete and digging before you start a new project. Or the car, which is an old project. Charlie is so patient with you. She's a gem....
😅
Matt, It was awesome to see her fire up. Spring is here! Well done.
Looking forward to the rest of the rebuild.
Good job Matt, I'd carry on with the excavator project and get it done.
Check the alt when connected to 12v as many need voltage to energize
Very good rebuild , But keep in mind , Heavy equipment is like airplanes and horses , It eats money !
Great Job Matt! It was really gratifying just *watching* that engine immediately start on the first try. I can imagine how good that must have felt for you!
Keep going with the excavator rebuild! I’m hooked! I want to see that thing running. You’re a lot closer than you are farther from the end.
Of course, whatever you decide to work on, I’ll follow. It’s just enjoyable no matter what you do. Your whole approach to mechanics is enjoyable to watch.
Not sure it could have gone better than that. All that careful work paid off.
THANKS MATT YOU MUST FEEL VERY SATISFIED IN THIS REBUILD /I HOPE YOU CARRY ON WITH THIS PROJECT TILL ITS COMPLET/ THEN MOVE ONTO CAR PROJECT. CHEERS AND BEST WISHES TO YOU AND YOUR OFSIDER CHARLY.
Excellent job Matt.
Good job man, sounded dang good. I think the z would be fun and give you a little needed break from the equipment work. Anyways great video and thanks for sharing.
Great job Matt engine sound awesome. Love the channel
I started watching your videos when you was doing your dozer but yes, it’s always nerve-racking when you fire up a new engine, gas or diesel but congratulations man keep up the good work God bless!
Awesome Matt. Excellent job!
Congratulations !!!! It's been a worthy watch. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations, well done 🙂
Excellent job!
You are the greatest
