- Oz made it safely back home to Birmingham AL. The detroit diesel 671 performance was awesome. Hill climbing and highway speed performance.
Friends help friends… good on you both! Glad Oz is now roadworthy and Lenny glistens!
The swap of labor was a bargain on both sides. Both buses look GREAT!!! The engine after all that work looks like a show piece! Great work!
Helluva trade! OZ got a bus that actually RUNS, and Lenny got facelift that he DESPERATELY needed - and looks better than he has in DECADES!
Gotta wonder how much lighter Lenny is just from losing all that paint. Twelve layers (some of it surely leaded) on a vehicle that size has to weigh a decent bit.
Man I'm thoroughly addicted to this channel. Real people with real problems and real solutions. Bravo.
Someone once said you should name that hill," DYNO HILL", I agree with them.
Man after that rebuilt the previous attempts looked like he was standing still. It's a shame the P.O.s were their usual criminally negligent bozons. Great work Scott and crew!
You and Oz did such a nice job on that engine, inside and out.
Love the grin on Oz's face after he conquered the hill 🙂
Great upgrade on both Buses.
Oz's and Lenny.
Cool stuff.
Lovin’ the sound of the engine. Brings back fond memories of the 1970’s. D&F Transit had one 4104. Could hear it’s engine roaring blocks away.
You are a good guy BGM. It seems all your clients are very satisfied with your work. You really are making a difference with the work on the buses. Oz did great work on your bus and VW Thing. It looks like your mountain is a definite stop if you have a bus. Great videos! Thank you
World would be a better place if people treated each other better... you are setting the example.
THAT'S A MYTH! No Detroit can be that clean and have no leaks! 🤣🤣🤣
Haha if it’s not leaking there’s a problem 😂
To have friends is what its all about! Nice job keeping these rigs on the road 👍. I had the pleasure of riding a 45 greyhound conversion to Cabo from Northern California back in 1984 with 2 good friends! Was the adventure of a lifetime, and sadly both of them are gone now, but i still have that memory! ♥ lovin you videos!
Great deal between friends. You helped each other out a ton and this was one of my favorite BGM videos I've ever seen. Keep up the great work.
Nice work Scot and Oz now thats what you call wheels within wheels the look on Oz’s face was worth more than money good friends can’t be bought
Scott wow what a drastic change in Oz's bus. I'm sure he's a happy man and I can't blame him. I bet he's happy how it performs now.
Very generous on all sides. A pleasure to watch.
Love the look of that bus!
Lenny looks awesome. Everybody’s happy especially Rocky and Lenny
What Oz lacks in mechanical acumen he more than makes up for with his artistic ability to create the best looking busses around bar none. Inside or out an Oz built bus is a work of art! Once he has time to recondition those hand me down wheels from Lenny his bus will be perfect. Another thing I find amazing and a testament to Detroit motors is he made it all the way there with a ruined motor.
Oz was extremely precise on the paint job of Lenny. My hands are not steady enough to be that good at painting whether with a air gun or a brush 😮😅
Cool the way you could trade services. The inside of his bus looked really nice too. Engine looks & runs spectacular!!
Good people helping each other with complimentary skills!! GREAT video to cap off the weekend, Scott... thank you, as always!
I like the look of these buses with all their side glass.
Wonderful to watch a mechanical craftsman, that also teaches and mentors. Bravo BGM and team!
Lenny looks gorgeous! Great work on the 4104.
This whole situation turned out great for both parties. Lenny looks stunning. Oz’s bus is a very nice bus. It should be nicknamed Oz rocket.👍👍👍👍👍
I really liked Oz's bus too... A more modern version of Lennie, besides being super clean
Your 'hill climb' is a perfect test for detroit health.
Man, you guys are really nice to people. It’s a dying trait. Good on you bus grease people.
What a beautiful job. Both of you are the best subject matter experts in your area of expertise. Great series Scott. Enjoyed it a lot.
UK here....What a great ending to a fantastic series of videos...One hand washes the other, nice.
Two expert friends helping each other out, you guys are legends! Cheers Drew
Was so much fun to watch! 2 vintage buses looking and moving great!
Oz’s bus falling flat brought back memories of over 30 years ago when the church I pastored took a group of 35 teenagers on a spring break ‘89 ski trip to Red River, NM. We had contracted for a “new” bus but imagine my, and the youth pastor’s surprise when a late 40s to mid 50s bus arrived at the church. Too late to do anything about it, so we loaded everybody up, and headed north west. No luxuries; no restroom or a/c and standard transmission. All was well up until we were just outside Eagle Nest when the bus began running hot. Loose hose clamp we learned later. The driver tried to downshift, missed the gear and the engine died. Two lane road. No power, and the bus began to roll backward. God had mercy on us and the driver was able to steer the back of the bus into a boulder on the shoulder. We stopped. Kids thought it was the greatest thing. We adults could really have used a changed of underwear. Oh yeah, we called Fort Worth to the charter company reminding them of the new bus agreement; so sorry we were told. Good grief, I had almost forgotten about that. Thank you Scott for the uncovered memories.😊
If I was the driver, that would have been so embarrassing 😳. Having my bus break while trying to give a group a nice trouble free trip and not being able to do it. I would have been frustrated beyond belief. 😮😊
Beautiful engine. Clean.
Successful high value swaps are a rare thing, congratulations.
I love the work you do and how you show it. Maybe one day I can afford to bring my big boy there. Love this channel.
That is one sweet looking engine compartment, it looks really great...
Lenny looks great as well..
Good job on both, thanx for the vids.
✌️❤️😁
Top notch service... it was great seeing it pull that hill with ease. Excellent work as always.
12:01 that is the best smile, looking very happy.
You both are winners in the end 👍🏻
Friends help Friends this is excellent work ❤❤❤
That was a Great trade, Good job you guys # "Go BGM"
She sounds good and she is super clean look so good 👍❤❤❤
that thing damn neer took of after all that great work guys :)
You the man scott. Your mate is one hell of a painter as well. Goood on ya man.
I can’t be the only one who was rooting for the bus to make it up the hill!
So glade to hear zero problems for Oz's trip home. I'm still laughing that Oz had on his best ARTIC Coat, mean time your working in a TEE-Shirt. Oz must be born & raised in the south, where when the temperature's dip below 65 degree's; time to break out the winter coats. LOL
Wonderful success story for both of you and a happy ending!
Honestly, I think there’s a TV show in here somewhere!
That's what friends are for.
Great work! I bet he is a happy man now!
Fantastic sense of mateship. Well done.
11:55 Your wealth is in your heart. God bless your heart.
This was an awesome start-to-finish build series , really liked this recap video. The whole trade for services is awesome.
Aircon in the bay is great, keeps the roofline clean with no air on units perched on top
Nice and strong, sounds good also.
Not surprised at the deal you made with Oz Beautiful that is who you guy's are keep being who you are I rember when you helped the young musician out with his bus Good luck and all the best
Friends helping Friends trading work. No real cash needs to be exchanged. Love to see this series with his bus. Keep up the good work.
And what nice freinds and a nice trade to work on eachothers coach the real meaning Coach family🙂
That was a cool project rebuilding that Detroit Diesel 6-71. You have a gift for what you do Scott.
Singing the same nore all the way up, beautiful.
Scott sometimes trades for services are way better than cash swaps!,
Plus you got a freind for life as well as free word of mouth advertising!
BTW Lenny looks like a Boss as well!
That was nice of you to do that.
Good job, Bus looks nice
Lenny sure looks good with his new paint job ,, you did a great job on the engine for OZ
Got a lot of buses out here in quartzsite AZ. The big RV rally. Schoolies too
A win win barter!
I do that a lot. I rebuild old motorcycles, I barter for work round the house.
Awesome! You are the man.
By the look on his face you can tell it's nice to be tickled pink by the BG 🐒 ☮️
The best kind of bartering
you can hear the differance in the engine in the hill climp
That’s the difference between running on 3 cylinders vs. all six.
keep the clips coming
Thats what true mates are all about
Awesome🎉
A happy ending: Oz has a great running bus and Lenny is all dressed up.
What a 'neato' Christmas gift! I bet he's one happy vintage bus owner now. I wonder if he may ought to replace the fuel filter(s) again just to make sure all those "fuel goobers" (I had to laugh at that terminology) get 'picked' out of the fuel system (maybe some anti-algae fuel treatment too?) Whudd'yah think? On a side note, I sure wish I had a vintage bus. You guys would get my business! Thanks for sharing & Merry Christmas to you Bus Gease Monkey Guys (and gals)!
Gorgeous bus....
Shes a runner
That engine is pretty
What I have done on PS systems that have air, particularly older Fords with the infamous power steering whine, is put a Mityvac on the PS reservoir. While the engine is running, pull it down to like 10-15inHg vacuum. The pump will whine loudly, but I only hold that for 5-10 seconds and let off. That generally gets all the air out and shuts up that whine. If its still doing it a little, Ill do it again and bring it down to almost 20inHg. This would also be effective for refilling a PS system that was allowed to go to low and sucked air. In that case I would park the front tires on either dirt or cardboard or political plastic signs (or jack it up) so as not to scrub the tires on a hard surface. I'd vac it and cycle the steering through the full motion and then vac it again. When you stop needing to add more fluid and it shuts up its whining I would call it complete.
I wish I could've seen this on I-65
Friends .says it all .
Nice
Nice!
How did you manage to buy a property with a perfectly calibrated bus-power test built in? Amazing. 🙂
The world needs to take the example of Scott & Oz friendship are & start being more Christian towards each other
If I understand the fuel tank contamination problem correctly, hat's the solution to the contaminated fuel -- drain the tank and flush? Hook up an electric pump and filter and run into another tank? Then stick some sort of fuel sprayer into the tank to flush/refill, and repeat the filtered pump out?
Was wondering if you used the 2 valve head or put a 4 valve head on? Had you considered putting a turbo on the engine, upping the torque and efficiency of fuel burn? You said you changed injectors, from a N65 to.......95's or smaller. I remember putting 110's and 115's in 92 series for customers. The one just had to see more smoke out the stack, thing is that smoke was just fuel that had not completed the burn just soots up the airbox and exhaust system. On the chassis dyno didn't give that much more HP or torque. He was happy though......not sure why consuming more fuel would make you happy! Did you consider an electronic throttle system? Nice job on the 6-71N!
Wow much is this beautiful Bus?
👍👍
The Hill !
If only you could fix what is wrong with GM nowadays like you put these old diesels back together.
👍😎💯💪
Couple things I would have done , I would have drop the fuel tank and had it washed out and probably flushed the fuel lines.
great deal much rather spin a wrench than do bodywork
Hey Scott, just a tip on your voiceover comments. I'm an audio guy--I'm guessing that the room you edit/voiceover in has hard floors and is pretty reflective? Without investing in acoustical treatment like Sonex/auralex, you can make dramatic improvements by just putting some shaggy carpet on the floor, or if you can, hang something (like a rug) on the wall behind where your mic is. It'll make a big difference! I'd be happy to discuss. love the channel!
Sometimes the lack of polish adds authenticity to a video. The reverb and other odd background noises give a better sense of being there as opposed to a studio quality production.
So what he’s saying is i should stop doing voiceovers while sitting on the toilet 🚽
@@BusGreaseMonkey exactly what it sounds like, minus some “background noises.”
