- This ratty 1992 Daihatsu mini truck was picked up in unknown condition, well the more we look into it the worse it gets. lets take the engine apart and see what we have and if we can save it?

During those long cranking sessions my wife shouts across the room "for goodness sake give up!" I replied, "this guy never gives up".
Lol my wife too
use headphones next time she 'll say what is he doing now? I want to know.

Lol. Same here. I had to turn down the volume.
Just my kind of Sunday relaxation program!
So this is why you are getting into small motors on your channel.
he would have made life easier for himself if he had moved that idler pulley up out of the way and snugged it down or taken it off all together to get that belt on and off
@@kevin34ct i see the connection now haha
Restore some nazi stuff on your channel. Great people and great innovations.
@@kevin34ct i understood the comment after seeing TPAI’s vid 👍
I'm so glad I watched to the end-I was yelling right along with you-thanks so much for the temporary break from all of the terrible things going on our world today-we love ya Mustie!
At my job cheering out loud 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I thought it was gonna happen
Hahaha! I guess I wrote that before the true end 🤣🤣
Heck yeah!
This is much more fun to watch a work through on the fly than just watching everything getting replaced & moded with new components. Way more educational too.
That's the beauty of @Mustie1's channel. He doesn't just remove failed parts and replace them with new stuff. Anyone can do that. He finds what failed, then spends a tiny amount of cash to get it running again. This is what everyone used to do in my grandfather's generation.
These videos are truly labors of love. I cannot imagine too many people would have dug down further, after seeing the damage to the engine. Amazing that you keep going….and keep laughing through all of this, as well. There are lessons here, well beyond mechanical ones.
That's one thing I love about RUclips channels like this. It might not be worth it to fix in your garage, but to a RUclipsr the value in the end is the video you make. So it becomes worth something to actually go through something that was junk and make it worth something again.
@@adamrichardson2227 Also it depends where the person lives, in US the cost of labor is high so it's not worth to fix many things but where i live for instance most of the people that are capable of fixing stuff would try to do it because it's cheaper to fix than replace here.
He gets me every time. Whenever things are really messed up, he just laughs!
He's also making money from the RUclips videos I bet, hopefully enough to cover this fiasco haha
Laughing all the way to the bank with RUclips paydays.
That starter deserves a purple-heart medal or something. what a brilliant piece of kit.😁
The speed it had to go at to finally get the engine to fire up was impressive!
I'm so proud of you Mustie. You made breaking my leg this week not so bad. A lifetime of skill at work. Thanks for all your effort
Really appreciate your channel. I’m 37, married, 2 young kids and suffering from some pretty bad depression and your videos all make me happy and feel better. Love the content and happy I found your channel. I’ve seen every single one of your videos as I laid in bed late at night and early, early morning frozen in fear to get up. Thank you.
Puddins fab shop is a fun watch, , he's also a clever guy, as are most of these guys, plus vicegrip garage is another good one, then try Sleeperdude, which is family oriented, plus revstoration, then ya can get into different motorcycle 'will it run' vids as well
Hey bud, I'm there with you! Get some help! Figure out what's triggering you to hit bottom! You, your wife, and kids deserve it!
Unbelievable!! The suspense was killing me, and I've never seen an engine that was that trashed actually start. Most entertaining video you've ever made!
Yes!! An hour and a half of Mustie , it's like having a long lunch with an old friend.
Thank you , Darren -it never gets boring ,you are the most informative and entertaining man on RUclips.
Wish you were my neighbour ,it would make my day , just hanging out with you
I’m going to say that it was probably really a couple of days working hard for the hour of video. But it’s excellent.
If anything, there was a military engine that I think would work: 4A084. It's air cooled and smaller than a VW engine. It can put out 40 HP.
I love watching your Sunday videos with a couple beers. What a great end to the week.
Now that was an awesome win! Been there when an engine was right on the edge of firing up and just would not catch, so this one actually had me on the edge of my seat swearing at the screen...lmao. Thought it was actually going to get shelved, but I think you have to run with this one now...for our sake I think you are committed!...lmao Thanks Mustie, great vid!
"had me on the edge of my seat swearing at the screen..." Oh me tooo ! Go, baby, Go ! 👍🤣🤣🤣
once it got going and hearing the other two cylinders kick in was great, I wonder if the rings were stuck and unstuck or just sheer engine speed was enough to get enough compression to get them going. Comp test please!
I like that he had to return just one last time and get it started. I was laughing and saying "take that you pos" when he revved it. I say just put a straight 6 between the rails and build a dog house around it.
AWESOME, felt so defeated then all of a sudden BOOM it starts! I can start breathing again! Hahaha sweet, keep-em coming! Cheers from Canada eh
@@jinksonyou Good job I came back to read the comments this morning. Just goes to show you should always watch to the very end!
I think you're still off a tooth on the timing belt. If it starts/runs only when the distributor is adjusted all the way in one direction, that's a pretty good sign you're off a tooth on the timing.
He tried both directions and ended up back at the original mark. And it looked like his alignment marks on the belt were spot on. The only thing (unusually) is he did not overhaul the carburetor. So may not be getting the best air/fuel mix. Will that be another video?
@@David-yo5ws My bet is that he is gonna bag this project altogether. That engine needs to come out for machining, cylinders re-sleeved, new pistons/rings, bottom end, refurbished head/valves....and that's just for the engine. There's no telling how many more things need fixing on it. And it's just not worth it.
I think we all agree that we wanna see more of this little truck. With or without the goldwing engine.
Btw. The goldwing engine would probably be a nice power upgrade
oohh. there's an idea. a single carb converted goldwing engine in it.
Rob in Vietnam here put a kaboto motor in the Daihatsu mini truck that would be nice
The power curve of the goldwing engine may be an issue though
Typical youtube comment here, just ls swap it 🤭😂
@@collinklitz7434 I've seen other people online do sport bike swaps in small cars, and they have a much more aggressive power band than a goldwing engine. I would bet that the goldwing makes more torque than the original engine at all RPMs
Oh man that ending was perfect. Your persistence is amazing!
When you can hear the dear little thing wanting to start, you feel like you need to give it all the chances you can haha!
I think this engine is a good candidate to try a diy block and head resurfacing and the world cheapest engine rebuild.
That could be fun!
and jb weld the cylinder walls... scott from cwm did it on his 37 chevrolet
@@marianotombetta4149 if it's not too pitted you can also overbore it a little bit and get away with using the original size pistons and rings.
I'm trying to think how to do it where it would actually be flat and even, and my mind went right to a chainsaw lumber mill for some reason. Then it remembered that abrasive stone cutting chainsaws exist and now I'm curious...
@@thefunkilledu to do the head you put a big sheet of emery paper on a cast iron table saw top and fun the head around in a figure 8 pattern. good enough to take a couple of thou off. The head will only be as flat as the table saw top but if it is reasonably new and a good brand (like altendorf, or griggio) it'll be pretty damn flat.
i think he could weld the cylinders and then grind back the excess i reckon it would work!
"Valiant Half-Assed Effort" is the Mustie1 quote of the year so far.
Great video. Reminds me of my late 80s Pontiac Firefly, a Pontiac Canada version of a Suzuki Swift. It had 1L 3-cylinder 55HP engine. Got it used and they must have had some amazing sludge in it, after I did my first oil change the compression was so low I had to start it like the Daihatsu - spin it up with the starter and hold my foot on the boards until it caught on its own. Sounded pretty much the same too. Once it was running, it would still do 70 mph. I swapped the motor and drove it for another 3 years. Now I regret not tearing down the original motor to see what was wrong with it. I can’t wait to see what is next for the Daihatsu, I often wonder about one of these mini trucks instead of a UTV/ATV for my hobby farm.
Loved watching this assessment and work on the little engine. Having owned the Mitsubishi 1994 version of this and tinkering with it just a little they are great fun. And a real workhorse in slow speed.
The block sleeves ARE replaceable. They are slightly tapered and can be knocked out from the top of the block. Replacing the sleeves will probably solve 90 percent of the engine's problems as the aluminum block does not look cracked. The design is pretty common. you can find parts in most countries in SE Asia including Australia.
The parts may interchangable with the Suzuki Carry engine as, I believe, many of the Kei vehicle manufacturerd shared engines in South Korea - which is, I think , where Dihatsu is manufactured.
All that said, it looks like it should be sent to the salvage yard...
Doesn't you have to mill the deck after replacing the sleeves?
Give Mighty Car Mods a call!
Yeah, some repair to the cylinder walls (someone mentioned weld build up and then a ridge reamer. I'd say the head really needs to be decked to keep the fuel/air/combustion mixture where it belongs.
@@marianotombetta4149 yeah, as well as the head (obviously).
Daihatsu is Japanese not South Korean. Now 100% subsidiary of Toyota (since 2016). Suzuki is their direct competitor in the Kei class of vehicles totally different engines, but would prob. fit in the chassis.
Not even going to lie. I had my arms in the air cheering when it finally fired off. I freaking love it
This was great I loved the end. love your stuff keep it up. I think I was more excited than your were when it fired up.
Well hot damn! This is the most on edge I've been about one of your engine starting videos. Helluva job!
These were available with PTO powered tipper beds, where you'd use forward/reverse gear to raise/lower. Most likely that's what the lever is/was.
i think you're right
It's Drive, Neutral & Low
I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking a Kubota 3 cylinder seems like a perfect swap for it if it would fit. Seems to be it would be a fitting swap for it. Plus make it a bit more powerful.
I had the same thought, not sure the Kubota would like lying on its side.
@@fourhillsfarm He should just replace that trashed engine with a VW engine, seems like that would be the easiest solution. And no liquid cooling to deal with either.
The pile prob is barely worth a swap, but an EV conversion would be at least as simple. From a Zero or from scratch with a golden motor etc imo
@@jaylast1958 a British guy did a DIY ev conversion on a clapped out Bedford Rascal.
It worked really well and he had solar panels on the roof to charge the batteries.
From memory, he was a Traffic Cop in Yorkshire and used the van for his daily driver.
The solar panels and the additional wind turbine were so good at keeping the batteries topped up that he never had to plug in to charge up.
I was thinking 3 cyl. snowmobile engine!
Woohoo!! I can’t believe she fired up! I was cheering right along with ya, Darren!
DUDE!! Totally loved this episode; loved the length!! Great content! AND that booger started 💯💯💯👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent - I've just been in the workshop myself trying to sort out the 4x4 system on a MitsubishI L200 - now I can watch you!!
Way to go Mustie!! I was sitting there at the end saying "Come on Baby, Come on, You can do it!!" 😆 Can't wait till next one! You give me inspiration to tackle my Dad's Simplicity Broadmoor tractor 8 hp motor.
Long time fan. I really enjoyed this one. Thanks.
Fantastic, I think we all felt, exactly what you felt, when that thing was right there, just needed to hear it run!! Loved it!!
Sunday is my favorite day.. I'm always so excited to see what Mustie has for us.. Man that engine.. I rebuild old crappy inboard boat motors.. and I've had SO many of them that were SO far past their prime but people just want to get one last 'rest' of the season out of them.. So many of them after a top end take hours and hours of cranking and they'll just suddenly get going and last another year or 2.. SO much fun!!!!
Mornin Mustie! Always look forward for your Sunday Uploads.
Lots of fun to watch. Lol. I was hoping you'd get it running and you did! Now I have to wait til next Sunday to see what is up next
AMAZING 👏 loving the really long videos. I had a feeling it would go sometime
This first thing that you thought about after the engine started was sharing it with us, "I hope the camera is on". Thanks Mustie1, You made my day :)
I used to own one of these back in the day with a 1.2L Diesel engine.
Fantastic little Van.
I knew this episode wasn't gonna end until he got it started. Great job.
Absolutely AWESOME video once again. Huge win!!!
Aww man, you had to leave us on a cliffhanger of sorts... Fantastic moment hearing it finally catch and run for a moment, i really like the sound of these little 3-pot kei motors. Be interesting to see if the head gasket holds, I did a similar resurrection of a well-done Peugeot 1.4i engine and it ran nicely for 10 minutes and then pushed the gasket out again and started taking another drink.
The abandoned Econoline. What a beauty! The mini truck runs! It has to be impossible for Mustie1 to fail. Did you hear the “I Win” laugh? Always a good sign. Sunday morning dark roast and a Mustie1 video! Yea! Was up early……time change! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
Was rooting for it to start! Fantastic as always sir! 🤙
Love your persistence, always a great video. Cheers
I think you went as far as anyone could ask, and you finally got it to fire. Makes my Sunday so much better, starting with your videos. Thanks !
Absolutely amazing at what you did on this. I too thought you were done for with this and then bam it she fires up... lmao!
The funny thing is I thought the exact same thing about putting a VW engine into it and going from there. The other thing I thought that seemed odd was that that valve that was pitted looked different than the rest as it seemed to be a good bit more concaved than the rest of them.
Great show of determination on this. Thanks Darren!
Another great vid! My hat is off to you! You a have more patience and stick to it than I have. Working thru something I probably pushed into the scrap pile.
Great video glad you posted keep them coming thanks
If a new liner isn't available, I suppose you could try Scott's (of Coldwarmotors) fix for the damaged cylinder in the '37 Chevy - mud in the pitted areas with JB weld, sand the high spots and hone as needed. According to Scott, this worked for the '53 Buick straight 8 some years back. No verdict on the Chevy, as the motor isn't beck together yet.
Yes, I'm watching that too.
how long does such a repair last? probably like 50 miles max before the jbweld burns away, but who knows. that stuff is pretty tough.
That ending! That emotional rollercoaster! Can't wait for the next episode!
Great effort.. I like your patience.. great teaching.. Jose
Mr. Mustie is a trip. Shear determination, patience of Job, and great videos. This man is enjoying life, God bless.
had these in trucks in the military. it was somewhat of an issued "shop" vehicle, used for running around to support back shop logistics and such. Anyway, they were governed to 25ish, but you could get more out of it by keeping the skinny pedal floored, and turn ignition off and back on while driving and it'd get to 30 easy then slowly come back down to 25ish.
Mustie1 Any plans on bring the orange Ford pickup back to life. Your body work was awesome, just needed so more pieces change out if I remember
Mustie has a little problem with his eye sight right now.
He mentioned in a live stream he was part of that welding is giving him migraines so the Econoline is on hold until he is on top of them.
@@amac2342 What live stream ?? When was that and how were you aware of it ?? Never seen a live stream from him
@@cndream1 Mustie was on a British RUclipsrs Christmas special live-stream.
@@amac2342 where was the live stream ? I never seen it
This video was worth an academy award for best suspense thriller 2022! Excellent stuff !
I literally jumped up and fist pumped the air when that engine came alive. great work man. love your videos.
Hard fought and well earned.... I need a starter like that in all my vehicles.
You could have a starter like that if you just shaved down a little of that excess ring material.... lol
Argh I can't believe you left us on such a cliff hanger! I hope that head gasket holds together to make a part 3 worth while asap. Keep up the good work Darren 👍 Please re-do a compression test after some more running... your valve job should of helped some what.
Great video one of your best ever congratulations from Aotearoa (New Zealand)
Mustie so, so impressed with your stubborness! Loved the video, need part 3!
What a great video! It’s like watching small engine repair but on a truck. This was a heroic effort. I think, though, even if you can lap the head a little more and considering the valves are about as good as they are going to get, it’s going to need rings to get near acceptable compression. Big work to remove engine, open her up and take a look at a bottom end that’s been lubricated with antifreeze for god knows how long. Enter rod bearings and seals that are hard to get - the condition of the crank. Could be opening a pandora’s box where the economics of $ and time spiral out of control. But it would be a freaking hoot to watch!,
He knows all of that, as does anyone with a bit of mechanical skill and experience. Yet we all still watched the video, which was why he created it in the first place. It made for good content, and it will help him keep the bills paid until he does an engine swap, or just gives up on it entirely.
@@alantrimble2881 still a used engine for cheap would be much better than any play-around with this broke piglet!
I turned the volume down because I could not hear the starter suffer any more :-/
This little car is awesome as a basic hauler for things but the engine far beyond usable
I have a Dyhatsu 4x4 truck and a 2x4 van and a spare 660 engine if you're interested.
I like it that you didnt give up even when you saw that damage in the cylinders. I'd might throw a towel or two in the ring at that point lol. Very nice video as always !
That was a great episode! It felt so good when it ran that I almost thought I had something to do with it..
I am really not sure why you don't just drive it around on the starter motor? That thing is a BEAST!!! Awesome video as always, thanks!
Doesn't that convert it from a combustion engine to an electric engine? ;)
A local steel mill has 5 of these things. I work on their large forklifts (15ton to 60ton). I've never worked on the Daihatsus. I will ask them where they get their parts
Yessssss, for the WIN!!!! OMG! That was like the orgasm of engines, she kept fight;n you and fight'n you until finally at the end she released her love!!! What an epic video, I think we were ALL a bit down seeing her beat you, it just didnt feel right after all that hard work!!! Just goes to show you NEVER GIVE UP trying as you never know what you will get out of even the most tired of engines! Great Video Darren, what a release to see her the next morning give it all she has and then some, she sure did pure there for a few moments, enough to bring TEARS to our eyes!
That was great! 🤣 I was holding my breath while you were cranking. I'm sure it was in empathy for the fumes as well as the suspense. Great finish with the rev out at the end. Looking more like a 2 stroke than a 4. Thanks again.... 👍
The extra lever in the cab is for a hi-lo, its a 2wd version of a 4wd transfer box and really weird thing to have on one of these sugar lump trucks. Apparently the transfer case has front output locked off giving you only the rear output.
I used to have one with 4 wheel drive in Fiji
I think that engine would make a cracking boat mooring. 😂😂😂 Absolutely brilliant content. Loved every second. Your enthusiasm and enjoyment on these projects is a joy to watch. Many thanks. 🏴❤🇺🇸
fun watching u work on engine and pray u get it back together
I really like how you never give up on old engine's ..... well done to you
that was one of the most exciting endings, i was truly on the edge just waiting for that to fire up, it was fun but it needs a lot of work to be a reliable engine again. if you can find rings for it it will run much better but with how bad the cilinders are i don't think rings will last that long anyway, maybe if you put sleeves too but that will turn into a huge project.
Hey Mustie. I love all you're videos, especially the CB 350 and TL250 ones. So put a BEETLE engine in the Daihatsu, and pleeeeeassssse do the Goldwing. I'm grateful for all you do though!
I agree, if you're gonna do an engine swap, keep the Goldwing as it is. No need to tear that old girl apart for parts. Mustie probably has a few bug engines scattered around the workshop.
Never say die! Thanks for your videos, Mustie!
I know you are probably really disappointed when you get junk deals like this, but they also make for my favorite videos when I get too see you take stuff apart and try fixes lol. Love what you do Mustie, if I was your neighbor I'de be in your garage everyday learning mechanic!
Sundays are reserved for mustie videos!
Just bypass the engine entirely and connect the starter to the tail shaft. 😋
I thought at one point you had a little Kubota engine that might fit. It would be a torque monster in that little truck and make for a great video getting it to fit. Your Sunday videos fill my day. Thanks for all the quality work you do.
dude you are like mr wizard with these old beasts and i love it
Morning all from the UK time to settle down to a lesson from Mustie.
I love how the oil filler acts as an exhaust pipe! Yeah, she's beyond tired. Success in getting it to run under its own power, though!
oh dude! it was amazing! )) I watched the launch of this engine with the feeling of a fan at a football match!)) you are an excellent mechanic, it's a pleasure to watch your work! like your videos!
Nice Hail Mary at the end of your video ! Now I can’t wait to see what you do next. Thanks for a great Sunday morning video.
You manually dribbling gas into the intake ports just made me think that's probably how Bosch came up with K-Jetronic, haha!
14:20 you can see your crank timing mark.. you can see the dot on the pulley near the bolt hole. it will line up with the casting arrow on the block below it. you'll find similar markings on the head for the cam
So inspiring I live in Perth Australia and love doing this type on things at home and learn lots keep it up👍
you got a lot of AFC betterthans looking a safe space today… I love it!
Look around for a 796cc engine from either a Daewoo Tico, Matiz or Damas or a first generation Suzuki Alto, it's very similar to that one and should be easy enough to swap. Considering that now it's sold pretty much at scrap value you could swap the transmission as well, just to decrease your workload. It was a pretty reliable little engine and you can still find some aftermarket parts for it.
If he would live in Europe, I woud say yes. But he lives in America, so I don't think he will have any luck finding those cars.
Never say die mustie1! I'd like to see the swap with that goldwing motor. I think that would be a rippin little truck. Maybe one day.
I'm late to the party. Would a goldwing match the horsepower of the original engine? I love the idea of stuffing something unusual in a vehicle like this but always hope to increase the performance (hp) not decrease. Cheers
@@giggiddy The Honda Goldwing engine was rated at around 80hp, FAR more than that crappy Diahtsu engine, which was probably 25-30 hp.
i love your videos i learn a lot keep on going mustie we love you
She fired! God I'd love my own little shop to play in. Great work man
its a widow, now im learning all this mechanical stuff ;D
Also that pitting on the middle valve. Most likely got so hot melted tip off spark plug and it clattered about cylinder, had it happen before
Man, I'm so gald I watched all the way to the end! Can't wait for the next video! :D
Watching you make me anxious to get out of rehab... new hip in October
I'm surprised about the lack of parts availability. They have been importing them here for a while now. I saw an engine on eBay for $1500 and a head for $999 and other than overpriced gasket sets that was pretty much it. You can't even find a diesel engine or very many parts for them. Maybe in a few more years we'll see more because those trucks have become quite popular here. I wouldn't mind having one myself. Hope to see it again with whatever solution that you come up with for it.
Whack a bike engine in it, would be fun to drive then. Lots of people do that to them here in uk
... or a Harbor Freight PREADATOR! lol
Always wonderful videos to leave on in the background while working on my own blown up junk, certainly feels less lonely in the garage
EDIT: I had to step away from my workbench when I heard her firing over at the end! I'm impressed, I knew it couldn't beat ya that easy!
Well, the weather is getting warmer, may be you can find some new things to work on. And be able to show us new and more videos. You have great videos and I enjoy every one of them.
