Did I WRECK This Motor?!?

- It is what you don't know that can hurt you. When I spun a bearing in this motor I did not have the knowledge needed to rebuild it, but that didn't stop me from trying! Well, I learned a lot, and some of it is tough to take. I am glad I tore into this though, I am better for it. Don't be afraid to jump in to something just because you don't know enough! Ask folks, read, watch, and learn. The next time something like this goes wrong I will be in a much better position to actually fix it!

I have sent this video to my brother. He is a very experienced mechanic.
it ate it because it was hungry 🤣, glad you have a good attitude about the very frustrating outcome. I figured it would have become a lawn ornament, glad you're holding onto it and parking it until a later date to have it repaired. At least as you said you know what the problem is.
Put it back together, weld a mailbox to the front of it, roll it out to the road! Best lawn ornament ever!!
Mrs. Flannel might disagree... lol
It's too valuable to let it go like that! It can be brought back to life!
You have my sincere sympathy. Thirty years ago, when my late husband and I decided to leave the rat race, we learned a great deal too....the hard way.
Chin up and keep trying. If a city girl and an master builder could learn, you can too.
Best wishes!!
Thank you 😊
Those particular Crankshaft bearings are called plain bearings. They lubricate with oil pressure, so that the oil will sit between the bearing and the Crankshaft. If you don't have oil pressure in the motor, it can also destroy those bearings, along with a bunch of other stuff.
I look forward to the "Repurposing a Tractor (enter part description here)" series.
Haha, good idea!
I would buy you a sparkly new one if I could.... you're a fabulously wonderful family 💯💛🌟🙏🏼
You're too kind, thank you 😊
Dang, bro. Sorry. Once again wishing we we're living closer. Good attitude, though! 😊👍🙏♥️
as a girl that has built engines, and been selling parts, engines, transmissions since 1991.... i am not saying anything. You are right we all have to learn, even when we make mistakes . You will get it fixed!!
You're kind :)
@@FlannelFarms at least talk to him maybe get some prices, may be able to trailer it up to him.
Trailer it up to who?
@@FlannelFarms sorry thought this showed up. Ballos Precision Machine 3020 Lincoln Ave, Henrico, VA 23228
OH so sad. But you did learn a lot.
In the words of a popular yellow man "doh!"
Hurray for the learning journey though, it will make you more wise for next time
Haha! You're right. The wise old fella wasn't always old and wasn't always wise. It takes time and effort.
Measure measure measure. There are many bearing sizes available.
Also use lots of assembly lube.
Check clearances with plastigage.
👍@@Driftsheep
There are, the problem is getting the crank out and machined then getting that motor back together. :/
@@Driftsheep Is that the stuff you put in between the bearing and the crankshaft and measure the thickness of the line afterwards so you know your clearance? My brother-in-law used something like that and he got the clearance perfect on his new bearing set for that piston. He had to machine the crankshaft lobe down because it got a chunk out of it when his bearing spun on his forklift engine. He had a tool he could hang from the crankshaft to machine the lobe smooth again. It was cool to watch it work. He had the original manual for the machining tool from 1925!
@@StoneKathryn yep that's the stuff. It comes in a few thicknesses as well for a variety of tolerances. It always pays to measure with new bearings as there are so many different bearings available.
I know it's going to be mothballed for a while I think they make something they use to hone the cylinder in the block I wonder if you could use it to get the same tolerance on the collars and use a bigger bearing
The problem with the crank is it is round, if it isn't perfectly round it won't work for the bearings. It has to be within .002ths of an inch.
Your second reply didn't come through all the way. Something about a deglazer. Can you send it again pls?
Oops. Yup, my brother-in-law Fred spun his bearing too! He fixed it! It was in a forklift! Fred has a cam shaft lobe machining tool that hooks onto the crankshaft to uniformly cut the lobe back into shape while the crankshaft is slowly turned without having to take apart the motor. He dropped the oil pan and took off the head so he could machine it from the bottom. He fixed up a little electric motor with a fan belt to slowly turn the crankshaft as the special tool worked on the lobe to even it out after the spun bearing took a chunk out of it. Hank isn't dead. Fred could walk you through this. He had to put bigger bearings in and had some trouble finding rings for the old pistons. His engine had slanted connecting rods (left and right slanted, Continental engine) that had to go back in a particular order. I bet those head gasket bolts were "tighten to yield type" too so you can't use them again because they deform. They also usually have to be tightened in order and done a couple different torques until the final torque is reached. So sorry Brian. I'm learning all this stuff too! I have to rebuild a Subaru boxer engine soon but I got to watch my brother-in-law rebuild his forklift engine. Since he was in there he re-ground the valves too. He has all the old school equipment to do this. He has the testing strips you put in on the bearings to find out what your clearance is to see if you have enough room for the oil to be in there at the right depth. I never even heard of these. You put them on and turn the crank and pull them out and you can tell by the thickness of the line, what kind of clearance you have. Amazing! I am impressed with your willingness to attempt the repair on Hank. I could not have done this and I would have been too afraid to do it. Diesel engines have such high compression that I wouldn't have tried it at all but what can you do when you don't have the money to have someone else fix it? My brother-in-law Fred still has his tractor engine to rebuild too! I bet you did learn a bunch! So sorry the engine spun a bearing. That's a tough fix.I think you're right to keep it in storage until you have time to address it. Those style tractors are great and diesels have such a great power stroke! Thanks for updating us about Hank!
Please put me in touch with Fred! Our email is theflannelguys54@gmail.com
I would love to learn all that stuff!
@@FlannelFarms I would love to have you talk to Fred! He'd want you to be a bit more into the project so he could just answer smaller questions. He's a busy guy but he wants to help. I'll pass the email along and see if he has some advice that could help. He used a grinder that is probably more finicky to use than what you need. He suggests a Sunnen Crankshaft Journal Grinder as a better built machine than he used. He says you have to get a new connecting rod for that cylinder too and of course a new bearing that will account for the new thicker bearing you'll have to use. It took him a while to find a bearing to work. It was a Jeep bearing in his instance. It's shown on a video on RUclips as "Sunnen Precision Portable Crankshaft Grinder." He had to dig a hole under his forklift to mount the grinder under the motor at the crankshaft. He dropped the oil pan and took the head off. He was able to get electrical power to it too and rig a small electric motor to turn the crankshaft as he grinded it round again. An old guy machinist would probably be a good help!
@StoneKathryn thank you!
😞
🥲🥲🥲🥲Dar n it. 🙏🙏pray that you can fix 😊😊💕💕
