      Same problem in Oz as UK and the States. This generation already knows everything and doesn't want to be the apprentice they want to be the boss. Then after being 'triggered' if asked to do any work or learn anything, they can't be sacked . So the knowledge Adrian and thousands like him has, will be lost. Welcome to the woke west.

      As an auto tech myself, I don't usually like to give other shops much slack when it comes to mistakes. I see alot of what often appears to be just a lack of giving a shit, that is obviously unacceptable. When it comes to Detroits though it seems there's just so few people left alive that really know the ins and outs of them. Seems if you want to get into them you have to get ALL the way in and study the manuals well and ideally work under someone who's done it for years. I suppose the smart and honest thing for alot of people is to just turn down working on them I guess.

    Worked on 53, 71 series engines mostly 6-71 and 4-71 on gensets and offshore cranes. They were great engines and easy to repair even in the dark with my helper holding a flashlight working up in the air over the water on a small platform crane.

    This engine rebuild series has been utterly facinating to watch. Always interesting to watch a guy like Adrian work with his wealth of knowledge. Should be interesting to watch it start up again and getting back into Renko. Happy holidays!

    I have seen and used some splinter axe handles over the years. The axe handle on the bonnet of the Land Rover surpasses all others I have used. Great series. Worth doing. Worth doing well.

      It definitely needs a new handle, it's actually broken at the moment after using it on a camping trip.

    A lot of knowledge and experience in that shop. Stu got the skinny mechanic job under the engine stand. Might not be able to fit under there next week after you have finished off all the Christmas leftovers.
