    I always enjoy your vids. I know lately you have been having camera problems. But here’s the thing I don’t mind. Sound or not. Voice over or you talking on the vid. I am still learning things from your vids that I didn’t know. Your a very thorough mechanic and very knowledgeable. Thanks for all your vids warren. Stay safe

    adjusting overhead at regular intervals is so much more important than many people think. as the miles rack up, the clearance between the valve and the rocker gets tighter. the valve and the seat wear. this takes away from the clearance between the valve and the rocker. if the valve doesnt seal against the seat properly there is no way to transfer the heat on the valve to the head to be cooled. burnt valves can follow. if let go long enough it can cause premature valve train wear and ruin cam lobes..... among many other problems. i have run into many old school drivers and mechanics you understand this and know what to listen for. unfortunately, i have seen many mechanics that if the laptop or flow chart doesnt tell them what to do, they are lost. who wouldnt want to be warren's shadow for a few months? imagine what you could learn.

      J.C. SMITH PROJECTS no doubt. The guy attacks every thing he does. I have 3 of these boat anchors with the same problem. Now I feel I can fix them on the cheap. Head gaskets and some elbow grease. Then we can get back to pumping fuel for the fleet.

    Hello Warren , ive been watching your uploaded material for months now and i love it im interested in all vehicles machines tractors in fact anything with an engine in , you are very thorough in your videos sometimes maybe more than you need to be but hey its all very ineteresting you should give yourself a little break from recording on a regular basis after all you need to have a life and have lots of jobs to complete i dont think many of the individuals watching your footage realise this , i enjoy fixing things but dont posess a tenth of the knowledge you have and i lack confidence too but just keep up the good work and Work to live Not live to work . michael mason longtown ,carlisle cumbria england .

    Great to see the 3208 CAT's ... no really... My dive boat cap had two of these things and man it was a major pain in the ass to keep them going. The only saving grace was we had tons of room to work on them, but the salt water air and 3208's it was a complete nightmare... risers, exhaust manifolds, blown head gaskets, transmission replacements and on and on and on... I earned my free dives on the SubSea Dive Charters - REEFLING in Jupiter Fl

    @noseeum6385 4 года назад +1

    Some of your worst working conditions are in some of the prettiest locations. If it isn't the deep blue skies, the distant mountains ranges, the farm scenes and pastures distracting me then the dogs steal the show. I do better at listening to you when you are in your main shop and the doors are closed. As always, Thanks.

    I had that happen on a 60 series gnerator in Alaska, our "mechanic" put a resurfaced head on and told me he did the valave lash. I ended up just doing an in-frame on it as it was older and needed alot of help after the cam got eaten up.

    The 60 series Detroit’s were amazing engines because exactly like you say run the valves every 50 to 60 thousand miles and you get a Million before an overhaul.

      Coming from a fleet mechanic with about 43 Detroit powered trucks, you do not need to run the overhead on a series 60 every 50,000 miles.

    • @wymershandymanservice9965
      @wymershandymanservice9965 4 года назад

      Chris Hill I agree but we had 209 in our fleet and tried to get it done that often because that’s what the owner expected. The twin pissers on the skits just about guaranteed 1,000,000 miles before an overhaul.

    • @wymershandymanservice9965

      We Glidered a lot of FLDs into Coronados and ran them because of 7.5 mpg compared to the 6 mph at the time of the new regulation engines. That and X1 Michelin tires we were one of first company’s running a lot of them. We ended up stocking a few tires along our routes from Ohio to Portland.

    Hey Warren, Mike and Steve here saying hello...we got our new exhaust manifold and adapter and had to drill it out to make it fit...if you would take a look at our RUclips video and tell us what you think...I mean will it work...or did we mess it up...we need to get the fuel filter system figured out and get the right parts ordered, we would like to run it by you before we order anything and all the lines for everything so we can put it together so you can help us when you get time...Thanks buddy...

    Hey, Warren I like watching your videos. You are a jam up mechanic. I have a Ford F350, 6.0, Can you make a video on, how to prime a high-pressure oil pump. I replace the HPOP. And the IPR because it had a hole in the screen, So how do you bleed the oil system? In distress need help!!!.

    I have a question Warren. When you're doing a head gasket and you have oil in your coolant and cooling system. What is your way to remove the oil from the engine cooling system including the radiator and Etc?

    • @jimmyaber5920
      @jimmyaber5920 4 года назад +1

      Gee Sss I worked at a dealer and we had lots of oil cooler ruptures and then a service campaign for the coolers. After a time we were instructed to use Cascade auto dishwasher soap. It worked great and didn’t require lengthy flushing to get suds to stop. It makes sense as auto dishwashers can’t use high sudsing soaps or it would run out on your kitchen floor but the soap has to be great at oil or dishes will be slimy.
