    33:27 look closely at the bottom of the engine while you rotate it - there is blasting sand/glass or metall blasting media falling out, and not just a few grains , the block is not properly cleaned out , you need to blow out the oil passages - id dissasemble tbh before this gets shoved into the new bearings on first start

      I'm amazed and honored that so many people are watching close enough to have caught things like this over the years and then told me about it. It has really helped me out many times when I made a mistake or missed something. This time fortunately (for me), it was some junk in a coolant passage I had just noticed and ran a pick over to break up.

      WOW...holy smoke...I had to watch that particular few seconds over and over 3x times to catch it...
      Sure enough..a pretty solid stream of "dust" fell out of one of the holes when the engine rotated over with the pan up...daggum!

    I am a technician and simply blown away by some of the disparaging comments. I do this type of stuff for a living and let me tell you he is better than most professional technicians. The only gripe I could come up with was doing the the torque angle after the click on the torque wrench... not a big deal. A easy reference is each bolt flat is 60°. Love the videos, keep up the good work. 👍

    I love the longer format for these videos. One tip my mechanic mentor taught me when assembling parts that have lots of bolts is to use locator pins to guide the parts together. He had a large selection of home made pins of different diameters. He cut the heads off of the bolts and then cut a slot in the end for a screwdriver. On oil pan, he would use at least four pins to locate and hold the pan and gasket in place while he started the bolts. This was especially useful when attaching a transmission to an engine after replacing the clutch.

    Matt, an easier way to torque mains & rods is to turn the block sideways. Then you don't have to hold the engine stand while you pull the torque wrench. Same on the head bolts.

      Two things that help (a little) are the "Shorts" videos on his YT page, and his Instagram account. Shorts don't get used much, but every now and then something pops up. Instagram has a little more. They're just single pics, but help a lot to give an idea of progress since last video.

    Matt, don't feel bad about forgeting to order a replacement part (like your harmonic balancer) when doing a rebuild. I'm willing to bet that any mechanic on this channel (myself included) has done it at least once. That stuff happens. I can't wait to see your engine all back together and be fired up for the first time.

  • @danielyoder5928
    @danielyoder5928 8 месяцев назад +10

    Matt, when installing pistons engine oil is your friend. I have rebuilt numerous engines, from single cylinders up to big V-8s, I always dunked the piston in engine oil then put on the ring compressor. Makes them slide in easy and lubricates the upper cylinder on start up.
    As for break in oil use whatever the equipment mfr. calls for. Do not use any additives to it. The rings need to seat into the cylinders and friction is necessary to get that process started.

    • @haydenc2742
      @haydenc2742 8 месяцев назад +4

      Yeah...regular dino oil (the cheap stuff actually) for the first few hundred miles/dozen hours
      Then switch over to your permanent expensive synthetic stuff
      Just make sure you use quality filters to catch all the initial "break in" metal flakes that will inevitably wear off the first few times the engine heat cycles

    • @cember01
      @cember01 8 месяцев назад +1

      I remember my big brother taught me that after I'd fixed my blown head gasket. Said go get the cheapest oil you can buy and run that at first. To flush everything out. Then change it again to the normal stuff. Also had to drive around for half a day with it blowing steam like a volcano while it harmlessly boiled off all the water that'd gone into the muffler/tailpipe.

    I'm sure it's clean enough in the cylinders, but from my very first days of engine builds I was told that hot soapy water was the best to clean the cylinders. You have to get some light oil on them right away or you'll get flash rust. I'm pretty sure that means they are clean of any old oil or packaging lube. Everything is looking great! Sure wish we would've had cell phones with cameras and the internet when I was doing this stuff. In my diesel engines Detroit Diesels I just used shell Rotella and changed it after the first few hours. My shrimp boat engines ran for years with no problems from lubrication.

    Matt, I may have said this already but.
    As a Veteran Coast Guard Aviation Machinist Mate I'd fly in any airplane you rebuilt the engine.
    There's absolutely no doubt that if you'd gone to a Aviation mechanic school like Embry-Riddle you'd have graduated top of your class.
    Schools of that caliber including the Coast Guard Aviation Machinist Mate A school I attended demand a level of attention to details you achieve.
    You pay attention to even the smallest detail and admit it when you make a mistake and you go back and remedy the problem.
    Thanks for the entertainment.

    A simple hack for keeping many different sized cover bolts is a piece of cardboard with the part roughly traced. Then the corresponding bolts get placed in order. It's saved my bacon a few times.

    Way back in my misspent youth I rebuilt two lawn mower engines, two motorcycle engines (2 and 4 cylinder), and two gas car engines, both straight sixes. I got better with each project but never achieved the level of detail you do. I am pretty sure your rebuild is better than when it left the factory. Thanks for all you do - I’m probably never going to tear into another engine but it is fascinating watching your projects. Greetings from Snohomish WA. 😉

  • @allanrichards3752
    @allanrichards3752 8 месяцев назад +1

    I really enjoy your videos and the way you work. Maybe out of interest for you I did a small project on the clamping force of bolts whilst doing my Mech Eng degree. To cut to the chase I used a 1/2" UNC bolt and two metal plates, one tapped for the bolt and one clearance. Between the plates was a 1/8" soft copper washer. The clamping force of the bolt was measured by the crush on the copper washer. Three conditions were tried, dry, thread only oiled and tread and under the head of the bolt oiled. Three oils were tried thin sewing machine oil, 20/50 engine oil and EP90 gear oil. Predicably the greatest clamping force was the oiling of the threads and bolt head with EP 90 oil. The whole thing was repeated with a washer under the bolt head and that increased the clamping force significantly. Very few manuals adequately specify the conditions for torquing the bolt but if you are going near the yield point of the bolt it is important.

    You got courage, young fellow.
    That's a complex machine you took apart. However, I think you deserve success for your courage.
    I hope, minor setbacks aside, that the whole project gives you real joy and many many years of use.

    As a retired mechanic I use to put the connecting rod bolts in then put rubber fuel line over them as you install the pistons in the block so they don't scratch the crank and always put the crank in first

    • @MikeBaxterABC
      @MikeBaxterABC 8 месяцев назад

      This is a great tip I've done that on chevy small blocks. BUT it does NOT apply to this engine, the connecting rod bolts go in from the bottom, the rods them self are drilling tapped. There are no connecting rod nuts :) 28:40 20:50

Very solid and capable machines for their size.I can't remember ever breaking anything! I liked the pilot control feel better than todays electric/hydraulic..and easier to fix. Also you have no DPF or DEF! Good luck with your machine, and thanks for the excellent videos!

    Re the ring markings the dimple faces to the top or if it has a bevel on the inside it also faces the top. If it has a step on the 2nd/3rd ring in most cases that faces down, except on the. Acl rings we got in South Africa in the 1990's.
    Just make sure about the rings again.
    BTW I like to use aresol chain lube for assembly, stuff sticks and works a treat!

    You are really working hard after working all day at work. I can't wait how much your accomplishing in a short time on a machine that someone else discarded. You are going to have a good excavator soon at that pace. Don't burn out and don't forget to take a break when things are pushing back on you. I've been like you for years. Taking a break sometime you can get more done with a fresh start after a cup of coffee 😁. I'm really enjoying watching you bring that machine back to life in great condition. Take care and see your next video.

    Hey PNH, if you think about it, by the time you're done, you bought a pre assembled excavator kit that you disassembled and then reassembled. Now that you've shown me these kits are available on the open market, I may go pick one up myself. Thanks!😊

    Love all your videos. I just had to rebuild a hydrogear motor on a Snapper mower and don't you hate when they send you the rebuild kit with 15 o-rings that you have to figure out which one goes where. Also those little green grinder pads from Harbor Freight are great for removing gaskets and silicone from aluminum parts.

    If I remember right, to get oil pressure without running the motor, we took the distributor shaft out of the distributor and put a drill on it, stuck it back in the hole in the block where the distributor went to power the oil pump and we had oil pressure. Not sure if you can do that with this engine. Great video, Matt.

    A good trick for torqueing additional degrees i learned from Adept Ape is to mark the degrees on the outside of the socket with 2 lines then with the socket on the bolt make a mark on the part for a stationary reference, now torque from one line o the socket to the other. I didn't want to use a paint marker on my sockets so I use painters or masking tape and a Sharpe.

    I dunno if you've had this done in the past few years, but my malfunctioning Craftsman click torque wrench was just repaired and certified calibrated by CSC Force Measurements out in Mahhh sahhhh choooosets. They did a great job.

    Love watching your channel. At times I think your brilliant with your ability to take on intricate, and complex tasks you admit too never having done before. Then in the next moment you show complete lack of common sense or inability to research tasks prior to taking them on. My wife loves watching me talk to and yell at my iPad when you frustrate me with your continued nonsensical antic's...
    Keep the great entertsinment coming😊😊😊

    *- What a great rebuild video, Matt.*
    *- Too scary for me.*
    *- I would be lost trying to remember what comes first and which bolts or screws go where.*
