This reminds me of when I worked with a plumber in a small college town in Washington State 48 years ago, I was 21. He had an old blue chevy pickup with a wooden cover with side cabinets in the bed. When you lifted the rear hatch the whole bed was a huge mound of plumbing parts, pieces, and tools, that looked like a junk pile. It had that smell. He knew where every item was and spent little time finding what was needed on service calls. The springs on the truck were shot so it sagged in the rear from the load. His name was Homer, he taught me many things that I have used thru my life ......I miss him.
Sad that the reliable little Honda had to go, but glad the inside of the van finally got a “bit of a wash” 😄 Thanks for sharing, Ollie, I’m sure the new jetter will be _all good!_ 👍
2k hours is not entirely overworked but it paid for itself several times over.. theres a multitude of reason why but seeing how clean the oil filter was im sure that engine had regular maintenance
The sound of that Honda was actually one of the things that drew me in when I found this channel 2½ years ago. Especially the sound that it makes when it gets loaded down running the high pressure pump right after opening the water valve. It lived a hard life. We the viewers got to follow along for a part of it. I'm looking forward to seeing whatever comes after it :)
The hard life it lived was because of not enough oil changes. Oil looks pretty milky (has water in it) in the shots of the engine disassembled at the end. Water does not lubricate engine parts well. With better maintenance, it would've gone WAY longer
Those hondas can out last you 😂. I love these small engines even if u destroy them u can rebuild them easily even if the engine is like 40yo they still makes parts for them. And this why it's worth paying extra for Honda engine.
@@gorak9000 hmmm water in oil on an air cooled engine? Maybe condensation?and that usually burns off when ran frequently as in this case it runs every day.. I didn't see any signs or water or moisture
@@daddysails8926 Part of what he shows at the end is definitely the gearbox from the pressure pump - in pressure pumps, the high pressure seals fail eventually and water from the water side makes it way into the pump crankcase and mixes with the oil. If you catch it early, you can just replace the high pressure seals, but if the bearings have been run with water in the oil for a while, it's probably not economical to repair - just better to replace the whole pump. But he definitely also shows the engine apart, and you can see the crankshaft and both rods - the oil in there looks better, but not great either.
@@gorak9000 that means what you are call a ( gear case ) would have to fill up to the crankshaft in order to force water through the crankseal seal,,, not really sure they are a wet coupling . That thing would have to have a quart or liter of water in it or more
"Did you find anything?" "Just a quarter ton of top-soil" Dude, that's not top soil. The run off after jetting that van out could be used as a 10 year supply of fertilizer for a Mars mission.
That right there is a great company.. great group of hard working guys. I’ve seen a few other comments like this so far and I agree that although I am in the states and not in this field I would absolutely go to them if I was in the market .. can’t wait to see the new rig.
I was seriously worried there that the van was going to be tidy with everything in its place, but I see you have the same approach to organisation as me. It’s all in there so nothing is ever actually lost. Sorted.

finally the van clean,like brand new & now Ratty, Maggie,Croc will be soon happy with a new clean house very huge respect to the repair company for cleaning out the van. Merry Christmas to you and your family Ollie
I been watching you for three years now I never knew you had a bench vise In that van 🤣 it’s actually nice to see it’s clean lol and that jetter lived a good life
I love that the van is now clean but our poor jetter. Sucks right before Christmas too. Sorry this happened but she was a loyal beast forever. I hope you have a Merry Christmas 🎅
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all the Drain Addict Family... thanks for all the laughs and content Ollie, Ratty, Croc, Maggie and of course Rat Boy/Man...👍❤✌
I worked on site years ago and a old boy had a old ass transit van that he didn't want to change. We had some polish labourers on site and they had no work to do so he got them to clean his van with the jet wash we had on site. Came back and it was pristine. Inside was also absolutely spotless but also full of water. They had jet washed everywhere inside of it! Never ran again! Your man with the jetwash there made me think back to it!
A year of 8 hour days isn't bad for an engine - Hope this is the only flaw in your holiday season - stay safe and sane. Thanks for the hours of youtube documenting your adventures.
Wow! This is amazing! Clean van and new jetter! It's a shame that Honda hadn't have been in Max Verstappen's F1 car. Merry Christmas Ollie & family, Ratty, Croc!
Good earner that Honda. He charges a $300 flat fee. So assuming the average job is 1 hour (at 2118hrs) that nets him about $635,400. Minus the cost of the thing, about $9k, petrol, maintenance etc probs around $5k . That little engine earned him about $620,000. Nice work Ratty!!!
Hey Ollie, now you can have a deep cleaning of your van. Ratty, Magpie and Croc will be soon happy with a new clean house. Merry Christmas Ollie from Hawaii.
Wow ! There is a floor there. Thought it was a portal to another dimension. You could reach in and the tool would come to hand! Sorry to see lil Honda go ,but she needed to rest. Have a good holiday to you and yours!
An unexpected Christmas replacement that provides the gifts for your family that your God given talent provides. May you and your Team enjoy the Blessings of this Miracle Season Oliver. See you, Ratty, Croc and Magpie in 2022. Thanks for many hours of good, “clean,” fun!
Can’t wait for the van to get back to normal! “Albert Einstein famously pointed out that "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?"”
Thanks for the tour of the store! Lot of nozzles and other things for your wish list. Hope the rebuild or replacement is as good as what you had. Merry Christmas to you and the family!!
Considering Honda engines are usually only rated for 800 hours (Althrough we all know they do more) over 2000 is pretty great, especially considering the heavy work it was doing.
800 hours? Any commercial grade engine should go well over 2,000 hours and with good service might go 4,000 hours between overhauls. An oil change every 200 hours would have gone a long way toward that!
@@rupe53 I was thinking the same thing that it should of lasted longer and seeing how jammed in there it was I doubt any servicing went in to the engine. My dad had a B&S engined push mower from the 70s that lasted well over 15 years and all he did was change the oil every year. What did the engine in was he mowing around a tree and hit a metal rod he didn’t see and shattered the crank. He should have a pullout sled so he can service it and get more life outta it.
@@JechtAruon ... I just retired from servicing generators and for the vast majority of air-cooled engines you can use a pump to get the oil out (every 100-200 hours) and a small catch tray to grab those few ounces the filter spills. Other than that, a set of plugs and a valve adjustment every 300 - 400 hours should so it.
@@rupe53 I know what you're saying but i use to sell various machines with Honda engines and heard this directly from the Honda reps themselves, They're not designed to break down after 800 hours but they're designed to last a minimum of 800 hours. Of course service etc. will prolong the life of a machine if you take good care of it then it will last a very long time. They're not designed to be run 24/7 you can of course get other engines that are designed for prolonged periods of time. Machines like jetters are very rough on engines because they stop and start all the time and the transition is almost instantaneous so the engine has to switch between idle and working 80-100% very quickly which is how you shatter the various gears like was shown in the pictures.
@@DiustheZ ... yes, some people can be hard on the equipment... and keeping the oil full (with no changes) will probably make it last for 800 hours. (although very tired by then) It's amazing what a little maintenance will do, along with letting it warm up at idle for 15 seconds and cool down for a minute at idle after a hard run. In that case you can get thousands of hours out of an engine like this.
bit of an extreme way to finally clean and have a tidy out of your van, and i imagine this wasn’t cheap, sure it’s worth the investment. have a great Christmas Ollie
Merry Christmas Olly. Got to admit, those guys were spot on...I can't see you being able to rock up to anywhere where I live and get a temp engine on loan and that level of service. Definitely top blokes and a real quality and professional outfit. Proper job!!
I sometimes think it would be nice to get rid of my 2014 GMC van with 190,000 miles on it. It would be nice to have a MB Sprinter. Then I regain my senses. I'm a carpenter in Maine, USA
Roy Ordway, retired tile setter here, my first was an 86 Mazda b2000 sold at almost 300 thousand, then 90 dodge van sold at almost 250 thousand, my last was a 2000 cummins dually..sold at 200 thousand. Run em til they drop.
She was a solid unit for many years. Her time was unfortunate and short of just seeing another Christmas. We hope to see you in the new year with a new Honda and more clogged drains!! God bless and have a merry Christmas!
I really feel for you with your machine breaking down, it’s done some work though! The Jetters Edge should put it in a glass case on display. Glad they sorted you out with a temporary one though.
The Honda GX690 had such a beautiful sound 😢 I hope you have fun with the new Honda iGX800 and that it has such a nice sound as the GX690 All good Ollie, Ratty and Croc!
I was going to watch Miracle on 34th street for Christmas this year. But I just witnessed a miracle on RUclips. Ollie is getting a new jetter, Ratty and Croc took a bath. "In clean water mind ya." And the Rat Rod got a washout. Awesome! Love it...
You know what this means right Ollie? You won’t be able to find your gear as easily when you need it now! 😂 Merry Christmas to you and your family again Ollie 🎄
Awesome customer support and service! Now we gotta work on getting a bigger van lol and good to see ratty and croc cleaned up lol Magpie is missing out for sure.
This was amazing to see all of this, but so sorry Ollie for this happening right before Christmas. Merry Christmas to you Ollie and family, Raty, Croc, and Magpie 🎄🎄🎅🎅
Business expense means he should be able to write it off on his business taxes when he does them. It sucks but the tax savings help take the sting out of the repair and replacement.
@@lynch6642 Also at the end, it looks like it was the gearbox between the engine and the pump that failed, and that oil looks pretty milky, like it has a bunch of water mixed into it. And at 26:59 that looks like the engine crankshaft (large pistons) and the oil looks milky there too. Milkshake oil = bad. I just replaced the pump on my pressure washer in the spring of this year - one of the seals on the pump plungers went, and water was getting into the crankcase of the pump, and the oil was all milky (and leaking out). When I took it apart, the ceramic plunger was actually cracked, so not economical to repair - I just got a whole new pump. Of course mine is only a 2000psi 3gpm little toy compared to this behemoth, but the pump was only about $300. The old Honda 5.5HP engine still has TONS of life left in it.
@@gorak9000 This is why fleet operators require specific regular maintenance on their units and teach employees tool care. If you don't care for it, you don't keep it (or even still keep that job). Ollie is an O/O it's just him.
It blows my mind that there’s a dedicated store and service center for this specific trade! I always wondered how everyone got all the high pressure spray equipment and such. Now I know!
Ya with all the old plumbing In Australia and the crazy trees it's a big market with all the cool jetter heads they have would love to see Oli give them a spin.
Looks like you could use some shelving to store your gear, too, when they set you up again. But then, you always seem to know where everything is. At least you used to. Thanks for sharing the video. I look forward to seeing the new system.
Farewell to the old machine, lasted 2811 hours. Paid for itself I would presume! Best of luck with the new one, Ollie. Merry Christmas. Cheers mate! 🇦🇺🙂👍🇺🇸
I think that's an air cooled motor that uses blades on the flywheel to blow air over the heads (You can see the angled fins on the old motor at the beginning).. By placing the face of it against something you are going to restrict it's cooling.
Pretty legendary of that company to help clear out the van! Loved the topsoli comment... lol. Was actually pretty satisfying to see the clear out :) Shame it happened and hope its not too costly for you!
Nice Ollie Christmas has came early 😬. Well sorta that’s a nice temporary unit you have on board now. It’s amazing how much stuff you carry in that van. Cheers mate
Ollie, I'm going to tell you something the sounds of that Honda staring was what hook me up to watch my first video then i stay for the rest . In a good note I'm glad to see the van get a clean up .
Well Ollie that is the best tidy up for a van I've seen lol. Anyway have a happy and safe Christmas to you and your family looking forward to some more interesting drain clearing in 2022 O I forgot Merry Christmas to ratty, crock and of cause magpie Anne
At last a Clean Van for Ollie. Most satisfying video . I feel more relaxed already. Best Christmas Present ever 😂😂😂 Now somebody do the cab !!!..and make him a shelf rack !!
Are you sure that maybe it wasn't the impeller? It looks like it's the whole entire unit so if an impeller bearing went then it would make it look like that the Honda died
@@elonmask50 I'm sure he meant cooling fins and either that or oil an change, but they sure don't make them like they use to even if you do routine maintenance, they're mostly plastic on the insides
@@lynch6642, even my Chonda powered portable alternators do 4 thousand hours, and they spend their entire life at 3000 RPM, but I change their oil every 100 hours. It may be a pump failure, I’m just going off the guys saying that the rod had knocked, and given the degree of difficulty accessing either the oil filter or the drain plug the way it was installed in the van.
Sad to see the old one go, but good to see the van get a much needed clean. 🙂 Maybe we can arrange some organizing lessons for you with the Penetrator. ;-)

Are all the people over there so cool and laidback?? The vibe is awesome!!!
At least they professionaly wrecked the bumper at around 05:00 :')
I was just thinking "He's never going to find anything now!" and Ollie said it!
Awesome customer support and service! Now we gotta work on getting a bigger van lol and good to see ratty and croc cleaned up lol Magpie is missing out for sure.
This was amazing to see all of this, but so sorry Ollie for this happening right before Christmas. Merry Christmas to you Ollie and family, Raty, Croc, and Magpie 🎄🎄🎅🎅
Business expense means he should be able to write it off on his business taxes when he does them. It sucks but the tax savings help take the sting out of the repair and replacement.
Man, this is a sad day. We’ve been through so much together. So many starts.
Rest in peace 🙏🏽 that engine was making strange noises since two or three videos ago.
You gotta keep oil in those things, and change it once in a while - they tend to work better that way
@@gorak9000 Very true and there's not much oil on the floor, (rainbow colors) that's a good sign that has not ever been changed
@@lynch6642 Also at the end, it looks like it was the gearbox between the engine and the pump that failed, and that oil looks pretty milky, like it has a bunch of water mixed into it. And at 26:59 that looks like the engine crankshaft (large pistons) and the oil looks milky there too. Milkshake oil = bad. I just replaced the pump on my pressure washer in the spring of this year - one of the seals on the pump plungers went, and water was getting into the crankcase of the pump, and the oil was all milky (and leaking out). When I took it apart, the ceramic plunger was actually cracked, so not economical to repair - I just got a whole new pump. Of course mine is only a 2000psi 3gpm little toy compared to this behemoth, but the pump was only about $300. The old Honda 5.5HP engine still has TONS of life left in it.
@@gorak9000 Yes you're correct, I got halfway through the video and thought I would throw my 2 cents in... thank you
@@gorak9000 This is why fleet operators require specific regular maintenance on their units and teach employees tool care. If you don't care for it, you don't keep it (or even still keep that job). Ollie is an O/O it's just him.
Wont be able to find anything in the van now. Lol. Thanks for the mid week upload! Awesome! Keep up the great work!
RIP lil Honda, thank you for so many good times, want to see the v.2 installed already! merry Christmas Ollie!! cheers from Argentina mate
It blows my mind that there’s a dedicated store and service center for this specific trade! I always wondered how everyone got all the high pressure spray equipment and such. Now I know!
Ya with all the old plumbing In Australia and the crazy trees it's a big market with all the cool jetter heads they have would love to see Oli give them a spin.
Ollie visits Jetters Edge in some of his earlier uploads
Between plumbers and pressure washers according to their website, I'd bet they make a killing
DA gets a new jetter!!! It’s Christmas after all!! Best channel on RUclips!!!
Looks like you could use some shelving to store your gear, too, when they set you up again. But then, you always seem to know where everything is. At least you used to. Thanks for sharing the video. I look forward to seeing the new system.
Farewell to the old machine, lasted 2811 hours. Paid for itself I would presume! Best of luck with the new one, Ollie. Merry Christmas. Cheers mate! 🇦🇺🙂👍🇺🇸
Only 22 jobs billed at a premium, pays for its self, eh!?
That’s a surprise. Hope all will be well!
I think that's an air cooled motor that uses blades on the flywheel to blow air over the heads (You can see the angled fins on the old motor at the beginning).. By placing the face of it against something you are going to restrict it's cooling.
@@GWN_Garage yeah they are gonna rebuild the engine so he can use it even more
Pretty legendary of that company to help clear out the van! Loved the topsoli comment... lol. Was actually pretty satisfying to see the clear out :) Shame it happened and hope its not too costly for you!
Always like your content interesting seeing all the equipments & high pressure system
Merry Christmas Ollie. In case you missed my last Christmas message. To your family. To Ratty, Magpie, and Croc!
Merry Christmas Tracy Bowling!
There is just something wrong with Ollie having a clean van!!
It didn't stay tidy long, though!😆
Nice Ollie Christmas has came early 😬. Well sorta that’s a nice temporary unit you have on board now. It’s amazing how much stuff you carry in that van. Cheers mate
Ollie, I'm going to tell you something the sounds of that Honda staring was what hook me up to watch my first video then i stay for the rest . In a good note I'm glad to see the van get a clean up .
Well Ollie that is the best tidy up for a van I've seen lol. Anyway have a happy and safe Christmas to you and your family looking forward to some more interesting drain clearing in 2022 O I forgot Merry Christmas to ratty, crock and of cause magpie Anne
If only you had some way to spray that dirt out of your van. Maybe with pressurized water?
OMG, I want to design some storage solutions for the van after watching you load it.
At last a Clean Van for Ollie. Most satisfying video . I feel more relaxed already. Best Christmas Present ever 😂😂😂 Now somebody do the cab !!!..and make him a shelf rack !!
Such low hours, not enough oil and filter changes would be my guess.
Are you sure that maybe it wasn't the impeller? It looks like it's the whole entire unit so if an impeller bearing went then it would make it look like that the Honda died
@@x_x_w_ what impeller?
Its a pressure pump, not a pool pump.
@@elonmask50 I'm sure he meant cooling fins and either that or oil an change, but they sure don't make them like they use to even if you do routine maintenance, they're mostly plastic on the insides
@@lynch6642, even my Chonda powered portable alternators do 4 thousand hours, and they spend their entire life at 3000 RPM, but I change their oil every 100 hours.
It may be a pump failure, I’m just going off the guys saying that the rod had knocked, and given the degree of difficulty accessing either the oil filter or the drain plug the way it was installed in the van.
@@elonmask50 Yeah and you know, some of those have oil filters and some don't, I try and do services with no filters at 100 hours
Two videos in one week!!
Yeah first time since June
Sorry about your jetter, but what a great video! Love the cleaning and outfitting for the new year!
Really good video. Great people your working with there getting your jetter overhauled.
Your going to need a bigger truck boss
88 days or so? Merry Christmas!! Enjoy your new rig!! Cannot wait to share new adventures.
Sad to see the old one go, but good to see the van get a much needed clean. 🙂
Maybe we can arrange some organizing lessons for you with the Penetrator. ;-)
Happy Holidays to your and your family, Ollie as well as Ratty, Crock and Magpie. Stay safe.
Finally the dirty van got cleaned! This was probably one of my favorite videos so far lol
Brave little Honda to all the years that came and to all that hard work it has done thank you little brave Honda
“The Rod is Knocked.” Lol I love me some Australia
