Refreshing to hear someone admit their mistake; so many RUclipsrs/Instagramers/Tweeters have so-called perfect lives where nothing bad ever goes wrong in their perfect life. It goes a long way in my book when someone admits their mistakes, and also I've always believed if you don't admit your mistakes you will never learn from them. Respect to you for putting it all out there, successes and failures.
Now Wes, some of us like to listen to you regaling us in the days of your misspent youth with your 300 Ford inline Six. Might I say, some of us smiled, because we too had a Ford 300 inline six in one of our Ford pickup trucks back in the day. LOL
Good catch.! Wes and viewer👍. Good video. Glad she's up and running. BTW 9 years up north on a battery is crazy good if you ask me. I'm happy with 4 years.
@@WatchWesWork I hold the record of longevity in my family with my 2004 Ford Focus. Sold the car in 2016 with the original battery still on it. We get cold winters here too in Canada :) I used the block heater whenever temps fell below minus 20C. Daniel
Where we live in OKC, OK we’re fortunate enough to have the extremes of both heat and cold. Mostly heat though. Batteries come out between the 3rd & 4th year for me whether they work or not. The extra wear an old/weak battery puts on the electrical system isn’t withheld it. Let alone the 100% chance of a preventable breakdown.
You know Wes I sincerely hope you do well in your new shop. You may be the only guy I know about who could pass as a machinist, engine tuner, technical electrician, probable engineer, and probably be a mensa candidate. I feel about the only area I am into otherwise is nuclear physics and it would not surprise me that you could probably pick that up too with proper motivation.
Oops, it happens to the best of us. I say the best of us because the rest of us don't even try so they let someone else try and fail then fix their screw up. Just let me say this for the majority of your viewers, YOU ARE AWESOME!!! You are my absolute most favorite RUclipsr PERIOD! I do the same kinda stuff and just don't have the nuts to put it on RUclips. Hopefully you see this years after you posted this video. Dan @6-4 Fab Glen Rock P.A.
I saw that in the last vid and thought "that's not right", but you continued to put it together like it was meant to be. You are plenty good enough so I didn't question what you were doing, but it did make me scratch my head. Good to know I wasn't blind, and you are honest.
Hey Wes, Thanks for sharing your YouTUBE video workflow process. You make it look easy but I know that you and the others that produce good quality videos put a ton of work into it offline that we don't see. Thanks again for all you do. Mike
Im impressed the you get so much usable footage, if you didnt know that is how it goes. In the days of film it was very costly to not get useable footage, now it just costs the time you spent on setting it up.
Not everyone would post their mistakes, hats off to you for doing so as we've all made them, but having the courage to show us says a lot about your character and hopefully will save the next guy some downtime!! Good for you.. Razor!
Glad you caught it- I saw this during your previous video, actually, but convinced myself that it was the camera angle or something, because there's no way that would be wide open like that :)
We are lucky to get 1 to 2 years out if a Battery in our scorching heat in Az haven't had any brand other then duralast work over 8 years in arizona Heat and Winter @Watch Wes Work
Try the Hotshot products for oil and fuel. Worked wonders in my buddies 7.3l. Injection noise well down and overall driveability really nice. Don't go crazy editing. Your expertise and project are what I care about. I used to spend hours like you. Folks seem to be just as happy without all the editing work. _Dan_
you are quickly becoming my favorite channel going! probably because you're an Illinoisan too. now if I could just bride you to come downstate and fix up some of my old equipment and trucks...
Down here in sun baked Phoenix/Vegas, I rarely get more than three years out of a battery, regardless whether diesel, gas, or engine size. Unless I want to buy a the Japanese-made OEM battery at 6x the cost... that will last 2x as long.
you may not have been upset with the way those rods and mains looked, but with the lower pressure, something was paying the price in your engine. I really like the way your white volvo gmc sounds. really good. Oh, hmm, I am concerned about the oil pressure, seems like something happening.
Pretty typical for a Cummins in my experience. They run pretty low oil pressure. The service manual says oil pressure can be as low as 12 psi. But the new rods and mains did bump it up.
You obviously work on a lot of different equipment and machines. What is the one job you really look forward to doing or getting in your shop? The lathe rebuild is a great example of the variety of jobs you might get.
Do you know what gasket I had a nightmare of a time installing? It was the O-ring that seals the air compressor to the timing gear housing on a DT 466E. It was smaller than the groove and It didn’t wanna stay in the groove and it kept popping out I had to use rtv to hold it in and even then it kept popping out and falling it was very difficult for me.
I've got a tip for you, stay away from interstate batteries . You were extremely lucky to get 9 years out of that battery. The next one, you may not get two years out of it. I quit using them, and started using Duracell batteries. Didn't know Duracell made car battries but they do, and they are the best I've ever used.
It is only a mistake if someone sees it, otherwise it is training experience. Glad Batman has your back, and Max. Enjoy it and get out in the great white north or mosquito season which ever it is with the kids as much as you can, they will not care until they are much older but it is almost the most fun thing to do.
That works. I use that trick on cork valve cover gaskets. I glue them to the valve cover with Hy-tack and then coat the other side with grease. That way when you pull the valve cover back off to retorque the head you don't ruin the gasket.
Well that is a really old battery great money out of that for being in extreme (to us) cold snow and such. Is it not such fun to edit for RUclips, but for say like these two desert dwellers if it were not for RUclips our story would remain untold, maybe it should have been, or maybe we get to share outside of our little rural town, Your voice sounds fine.
You can go buy some cheap long bolts that are the right thread pitch , cut the end off with a cutoff wheel and have a set of alignment studs next time. Jmho.🤔🙄
Well this one seemed to be pretty good. I like Motorcraft batteries. I get them at the Ford dealer. They're no more expensive than any other good battery and they hold up well. I don't know who makes them.
I don't know how you guys edit all this stuff. I can't figure out how to put two different pieces of video together, let alone figure out how to end it or stich it together or whatever. I can send dirt bike rides to you tube easily though. I just leave it all one video section.
I'd take the $85 dollar gasket hit over a toddler who miss their nap ;-). Our little guy never slept well until about 4.5-5yrs old. Nice catch on the gasket though Wes.
So, you give Cummins the s/n of your engine and they send you the wrong gasket, then they send you the right gasket...broken. Says a lot about Cummins' parts QC, don't it?
Car dealers make more money in parts ,labor and selling used cars than they do in selling new cars. Every part is outrageously marked up. They get there parts from the same places you can. Taking your car to A dealer for repairs is the dumbest thing you can do if it's not warranty work. Especially if it's a older car. Follow the money . Why sell you just a 10 thermostat when I can sell you a 150 dollar thermostat housing and sensor combo. My Malibo need a water pump. Chevrolet says can't get one without buying the water pump,thermostat, water bypass for dual climate control housing combo which my car doesn't even have for 300 bucks. Plus three gaskets for 8 dollars a piece the coolant for 30 bucks . O and we are going to charge you 600 bucks to put in on. No thank you. Thank God for after market . Got the pump for 55 bucks and the gaskets for 8 $ total. There wasn't anything wrong with the housing or the thermostat so why should I buy one. Took about a hour . Good as new.
Don't we get to see daddy change a diaper? I could smell him from here, the give away was his body language. Got to get some micro machines for the shop or even better, Power Wheels.

I am 100% sure I watched you install this gasket and thought, "well, that ain't right, but Wes knows what he's doing..." Wow.

It takes some time to do the editing, but it's not as bad as people make it seem. At least not for me. But, I don't get very fancy.
Im impressed the you get so much usable footage, if you didnt know that is how it goes. In the days of film it was very costly to not get useable footage, now it just costs the time you spent on setting it up.
Putting videos together is a ton of work but it really paid off this time, nice catch!
Yeah it can be a real time suck.
Hey Wes lucky you got batman to double check your work since you messed up lol , thanks for another excellent video.
Thanks for sharing this video. Most people want admit they made a mistake. You did great. Batman will be following in your foot steps.
I remember that age! My last one is a teenager now, watching this brings back memories

Don't go there buddy, I've seen a lot of "SMART" guys make some pretty dumb mistakes....ask me, I'm one of them!!!🤣
Not making the same mistake twice is the trick . But you two know that .
Glad you caught it- I saw this during your previous video, actually, but convinced myself that it was the camera angle or something, because there's no way that would be wide open like that :)
Well you're the man too! I don't know how I could have missed it on the install.
@@WatchWesWork Blame it on us.. The darn camera was in your way!
I like to make long guide studs to help hold everything together. I like your videos keep up the great content.
Yes, that's helpful for heavy things like flywheels and clutches.
No worries. The only mistake that is a bad mistake is the one you can’t fix. Enjoy your videos very much and the interaction with your family.
That's cool watch your own you tube and catch a mistake. You just can't get classer than that. Love it wes. Thanks for sharing.

I like to trim things down as much as possible. I don't like watching videos that run on needlessly, so I don't want to make videos like that.

55°F is erm... nearly 13°C. That's a nice day this time of year! It's just about 5°C here. I keep my home at 20°C.
The great white north? Ha! 😃
Phew. Was worrying about that. Just watching old vids and saw that.
Good job Wes , Batman needs his own tool box , LOL .
Soon enough...
"Where's your coat women" LMAO classic.
He has a wife wearing a tee shirt when it’s fifty degrees outside and not complaining that it’s cold. Some guys just have all the luck.
Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. I do enjoy the random stories. Looks like you decided on a toolbox. Take care.
Thumbs up 👍 Max is home !
Are sure that truck doesn't belong to bat boy, as I see its doing 15mph all ready, nice job Wes.
Alan.
He likes to pretend he's driving it.
My angle showed closer to 16mph but maybe you are correcting for 1mph offset 😁
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I just love clean and well running diesles
you may not have been upset with the way those rods and mains looked, but with the lower pressure, something was paying the price in your engine. I really like the way your white volvo gmc sounds. really good. Oh, hmm, I am concerned about the oil pressure, seems like something happening.

Hard to say. My favorite thing to do is solve complex problems that I have the tools to fix.
You are an inspiration Wes. Stop reading comments.
Do you know what gasket I had a nightmare of a time installing? It was the O-ring that seals the air compressor to the timing gear housing on a DT 466E. It was smaller than the groove and It didn’t wanna stay in the groove and it kept popping out I had to use rtv to hold it in and even then it kept popping out and falling it was very difficult for me.
9:33 Who else read "Genuine Farts" on the box?
What! You can get fake ones?
i put a 2amp tender on my 99 power stroke and use the CPL number when ordering cummins parts ✌🏻
Atleast the engine hasn't moved WITH the wrong gasket we all make mistakes atleast nothing catastrophic happaned @Watch Wes Work
She will probably run better, had to be loosing boost. Happy new year to you and yours!
Yeah I'm sure it was.
i saw that when you were doing it. Figure these jobs are done & gone by the time we see them so not much point in sending up the Bat Signal.
I like your stories. lol

Great video's keep up the good work always learn something.
So do I!
,,, well, it definitely was hitting on all 6 on the start up, and sounding very even .
Yeah I think we have it fixed. That was a cold start after sitting for 5 days. I'm happy with that.
@@WatchWesWork ,,, no, I think after a minute or so it was very even, the L-10 .
For larger longish gaskets and lack if extra hands I use to apply some grease which acts as glue. Works wonders on large gaskets.
That works. I use that trick on cork valve cover gaskets. I glue them to the valve cover with Hy-tack and then coat the other side with grease. That way when you pull the valve cover back off to retorque the head you don't ruin the gasket.
Always good to know I'm not the only one.😀
Hey! I spotted it, you were distracted chatting
I've had to put new batteries in mine every 4 years like clockwork since 2006.
I usually get 3 winters out of a set. So I can get almost 4 years, but not 4 winters.
Nice catch Wes
All’s well that ends well, I say.
Good catch.

I guess you'll have to wait and see...
So i didn't see it wrong lol.
Just new and watching older videos of this channel.
Shout out to Steve for catching that gasket.
You can go buy some cheap long bolts that are the right thread pitch , cut the end off with a cutoff wheel and have a set of alignment studs next time. Jmho.🤔🙄
Hmm. Looks pretty easy from your arm chair doesn't it? You'll never get that intake over the studs, there are multiple obstructions.
Awesome
Interstates are good batteries. I've got one in all my vehicles.
Well this one seemed to be pretty good. I like Motorcraft batteries. I get them at the Ford dealer. They're no more expensive than any other good battery and they hold up well. I don't know who makes them.
@@WatchWesWork me too. I had a Motorcraft battery last 12 years in my Focus.
Trust your mechanic ;)
Looks like your voltmeter wasn't charging had a little red warning light on top of the gauge.
Typical Delco. It won't start charging until you raise the RPMs.

It's funny how useful recording and watching yourself can be, youtube aside.
How much boost does that l10 run? 20lb?
I don't know. I should add a gauge I guess. That and a pyrometer would be nice to have.
