I went to go work in a heavy truck shop back in 1993 that was a White and GMC dealer, thinking I was going to be working on Detroits. I only saw two in the time I worked there. It was mostly gas jobs (366's in UHauls) and Isuzus.
Thanks a bunch for sharing your work. My son just purchased his first highway tractor, a White-Freightliner 8164T with an DD8V71T engine. This truck was part of an emergency reserve fleet for the State of OR and so only has 4,000 total miles under it! However, it has become crispy over time so we have our work cut out for us. I have a lifetime of successful automotive repair experience but never worked on a large truck so now I am cramming all the 'RUclips Trade Schooling' I can get to prepare for what we may uncover. Your videos have been a great help, thanks. We go get this old tractor next weekend and drive it about 700 miles back home...
always wondered how the rotor timing was adjusted, never would have thought of shims like that. Cheers for showing us the details Wayne, its rare to find someone who will nowdays ❤
Thank you for an informative and entertaining presentation, even for someone who never got closer to a -71 series engine than the pair in a boat that I thankfully decided not to buy for unpaid marina charges.
It's amazing that I'm this early to see you working on junk. Normally I'm still out working on junk myself. But had to quit a little early today for my oldest sons 18th birthday dinner. 😉 Rock on, Wayne 🤘
Pretty cool step by step video. It’s been quite a few years since I have been in a 8V71. Definitely need the correct tools for that job. Thanks for the Video, Wayne.
Apparently walnut is a term of endearment vs numbnuts which is what the seals install looked like ... Thanks for the tutorial, aside from a couple of specific tools, you made this job look pretty straightforward. 🍻
I always wondered what was involved in rebuilding a blower. WHEW! LOTs of special tools to do it properly. Have you ever done it without the special tools? Well Done!!
What a nice piece of engineering that's almost 80 years old.Excellent tutorial Wayne, that thing must have been drinking oil and should be so much better now.Lots of special tooling required also. Good luck for the completion.
For years when I had to put a thin film of silicone sealant on something I'd put a little dab of it and spread it out with my finger just like you did with that Loctite sealant. One day I did it just like always and my skin itched like crazy, got hard, cracked and peeled off. It took me a couple of times before I put cause and effect together. I think that was right around the time I turned 50, not sure if I changed or the product changed
@joecummings1260 your story is one of those "Note to self;wear a pear of powder free-latex free vinyl gloves when applying a thin film,of 3M Loctite Silicone Automotive Gasget Sealent next time" situations.
@@devinrussell420 I used it from like the mid 70's until about 2010 and never had a problem. Then all of a sudden, and it cracked really deep. Now I cringe whenever I see somebody touch it
As i remember it, NA motor had ring type seals and turbo motor had lip type seals in blowers, if using lip seals in NA motors and you shut off emergency stop flap it would tear those seals apart or suck them off the wear rings
Nice work Wayne! It's always so satisfying to get down to the discovery of the problem and figure out that it was all due to poor workmanship by others.
Wayne I don't have to tell you but I will anyway. You need one of those wash cabinets that looks like a sand blaster, but blasts hot water-soap at 500psi. Get all that schmoo and goo off before you tear into it.
Hey I grew up hearing then watching those Detroit's Screaming Down The Road I even drove a couple . Makes a Fella wonder ? How many revolutions that Puffer your work'n on has spun ? Millions ? Prob ? Talk about spinning in circles eh ! Peace out from Canada
@@MrDlc1969 yea lets just figure for easy math the blower spins 2x engine speed, and the truck has 400,000 miles on it at an average speed of 60mph @ 1800rpm. That blower has made 86,400,000,000 revolutions!! Not even including idle time or anything like that!
@@Ol2Stroker, like diagonal grooves in a rope seal crankshaft . The angle they are on and the direction of rotation , tends to let the seal be wet but tends to push the oil back in ,,, .
I dunno, but in the case of disassembling that blower, being unburdened by what has been would have been a bad thing. The proper installation of oil seals is important because their proper installation is important to their ability to seal in a proper way. 😁 Brand new defective parts, seems to be pretty common thing for the 21st century.
Sooo , in the early to mid Sixties why did the 6-71's and 8-71's dragrace engines run identical . Well there were a hundred guys running the 6-71's and a half dozen guys with more money running the 8-71's , but there's no reason there . The reason the 6-71's ran as good is because they were very close to the same size because the sixes came off inline engines and were kind of long , and the 8-71's came off Vee engines . Btw , there were thousands of 6-71's available as war surpluss , and the 8-71's usually were bought new ,,, !

Wayno you’re a fucking genius. I love it when you get surprised by all the shit that happens.
Wayno , Laughing my ass off! "That could have been questionable" - Unburdened by what has been!!!! Too Funny
These clips are priceless as there's not many Two stroke mechanics left compatef to the old days.
You got that right.

@W1RMD To be honest it's the governors that I think are the tricky parts to work on IMO. Air gaps buffer screws etc.
Unburdened by what has been... LOL... Ya slid that one in...

Badass! Send me some pics id love to see it!
Good luck!
The paint is the most important part of the rebuild! Thanks for the video, really good stuff!
Or in some cases, the paint IS the rebuild...😁
Yea every case on marketplace bahahahaha
I love the sticker on the parts for assembly! Lol!
Kyle will be so happy to have his baby working and sounding better than ever
I sure hope so!

I could watch you work on stuff all day! I'm partnered with 8 Lugs No Plugs and we'd like to share some clips of yours and give you credit
It's amazing that I'm this early to see you working on junk.

But had to quit a little early today for my oldest sons 18th birthday dinner. 😉
Rock on, Wayne 🤘
Fuckin A Happy Birthday to the boy!
@Ol2Stroker Thank you. 🥳
@@Ol2Stroker now I get to finish the rest of the video. 😂

That was a master class Wayne. Thanks eh.
I’ve converted a few of these to run on street cars and I still learned a couple things thanks for showing this info.
Good Call Wayne!
How ya suppose to do it right if you don't do it twice?
Wish I would have had you done my 8V71 years ago.thanks
What a nice piece of engineering that's almost 80 years old.Excellent tutorial Wayne, that thing must have been drinking oil and should be so much better now.Lots of special tooling required also. Good luck for the completion.
A great video of a lost art
Always good to see someone do quality work Wayne!!
Love the ring tone
It don't get no mintier than a screen full of Alpine Green!!!👌👌👌
Wayne👍👍👍
Very thorough with your explanations. Good Job, Wayne .
Great video Wayne thanks for sharing how to reseal this 871 blower. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Wayne.
whats up waynooooo !! love from MESSED UP CALIFORNIA.... love martin
Freakin pro feshion al. Beautiful work senior wayneo
Great stuff Wayne 👍

Man I’m jealous of that arbor press.
I'm really happy with it!
Watch you doing the rebuild bought some good and not so good memories of doing blower rebuilds, never had any of those fancy tool ,
As i remember it, NA motor had ring type seals and turbo motor had lip type seals in blowers, if using lip seals in NA motors and you shut off emergency stop flap it would tear those seals apart or suck them off the wear rings
Fantastic work/job Wayne! 😉💪 Can hardly wait to see it working as it should once again.
Unburdened by what has been.🤣🤣🤣❤️

That would change my life. Im not sure what id do with all my free time
@@Ol2Stroker LOL I hear ya
cool nice work
Hey I grew up hearing then watching those Detroit's Screaming Down The Road I even drove a couple . Makes a Fella wonder ? How many revolutions that Puffer your work'n on has spun ? Millions ? Prob ? Talk about spinning in circles eh ! Peace out from Canada
Man i bet many millions!
@@Ol2Stroker No doubt crazy when you think on it

@@Ol2Stroker You must got the wife too do the math lol
Naw I actually did it but thats the only time i do math is when it applies to detroits hahaha
0:48 this made me laugh wayy to hard
She's a beaut clark...
"I would have been unberdened by what has been" nice Kamala Harris reference!😏😂.
Im glad yall get the joke!
i got a double treat.... #1 got to see shmoo and #2 as you people say " somebody been here before " . in the army we call that fuckery! nice job.
Where do you think those Ball Bearings went ? I'm Sure they are in the Oil Pan
Hi Wayne from Yorkshire England why no video this week hope everything is OK waiting for new content 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
The chisel groove in the seal ring is supposed to slant in a direction to keep oil in ,,, !
Wait what?
@@Ol2Stroker, like diagonal grooves in a rope seal crankshaft . The angle they are on and the direction of rotation , tends to let the seal be wet but tends to push the oil back in ,,, .
@rolandtamaccio3285 yea that's what I thought you meant... But that aint how teflon seals work
Did I spy mossy putting in some work today?
what are the part numbers for all the special tools?
You could see some info on the one driver he was using.
Yup, was hoping for the rest of them
Damn! It's nice seeing someone as anal retentive as me. You're a better painter than me. I F'n hate painting 😂

Torque me daddy. I about spit my drink out!
🤣🤣🤣
I have a 610 blower what power could it make would it work on an i6 gas engine like a gm atlas 4200 or an i5 3700???
So whoever fixed it the first time messed up the seals because they didn't know what they were doing
First

I don't know How many times I was watching one of your videos and my wife in the background who the f*** is blowing up your messenger.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 bro its 24-7 over here
I'd check all them seal-rings now!
21st century crap!!!
Oh i did!
No volume
That doesn't mater
