      it amazes that a lot of people are really great at what they do and somehow manage to own a shop and make it successful. It is really hard for one person to do that, usually you are just good at fixing and another guy is good at bringing the customers and charging accordingly and know how to talk to customers, that is not easy to do. I keep hearing, you may not know a lot about mechanical work but if you know how to talk, customers will pay for that. I've seen this at other companies, not automotive related where people are really good at talking and act like they know what they are talking about and take control of the conversation and manage to convince people, some people would just avoid confrontation.

    Hello Dave , you need an old EMD 645 locomotive engine in the wating room , its a 16 cylinder 2 stroke supercharged engine , some even had turbos in addition to the supercharges , each cylinder displaces 645 ci . 10320 ci total , Its a monster all right!!!! It makes about 3000HP at 850RPM that equates to roughly 18k lb/ft of torque.

    Well Dave I am a locomotive engineer and even though GE has reduced their power plants to 12 cylinders. EMD still uses 16 cylinder 2 stroke diesels that are 777 cubic inches per cylinder. So yes I have seen and use bigger ones daily. Love the channel congrats on the new shop and you success.

    • @LouT1501
      @LouT1501 11 місяців тому +1

      But GE's 12 cylinder motors put out 4500 hp and displace 1000 CI per cylinder. I think they redline at 900 rpms but they can do that all day long. Oh, I'm a retired locomotive engineer.

  • @treeless62

    Bigger engine? Yes sir. Former heavy equipment mechanic at a mine in Bagdad, Aruzona. Its a c125 v-16 Diesel out of a 793 Haul Truck. Runs 4 turbos at 25 psi, output at around 2,600 HP. When they grenadd it is quite the site. After the engine is pulled and on the ground outside, you see where you can put your fist through the block. Wordt one was a hole almost big enough to pike your head in it. Thd crank weighs in at 800lbs. They are very impressive

Have had my automotive repair shop in California for 43 years and finding good qualified techs is pretty tough. I think you will energize our youth's and bring some good techs back to the industry. After 43 years of this business, I salute you for your hard work and integrity. I watch all your content and learn every time. I own a 2000 F250 7.3L with 700K on it. Will be calling you soon for engine overhaul.

    Dave is the American dream alive and well. The man starts his own business, makes sure that he's the best at what he does in his area, treats his customers with respect, values his customers loyalty over their money, trains his family to eventually take over the business, and provides a quality and stable work environment for his employees.
    Thank you David for being the honest mechanic that is so incredibly hard to find in this dishonest world.

I recognized an engine block of massive proportions, as did smarter-in-things-mechanical-than-me sorts. A truly motley crew, we (Native, Hispanic, et al). Likely headed down I-40 or up 491 to rebuilding. A small family could live in a cylinder of this block. All praises be to guys who still play with blocks, they make the world go 'round!!!

    Wish your shop was near me, Dave. I would patronize your business for sure! Regarding the larger engine, yep, I got one. Nope, not pictures unfortunately. Used to work at a ski area that had an ex-train engine hooked to an 6MW electical generator. 16 cylinder four stroke diesel, ran at 1200rpm. The sound was beyond loud, it was physical. Don't recall the displacement, but the block was at least 10 ft long, 6 ft tall, 5ft wide. Big SOB. It was my job as staff electrician to exercise it regularly. Fun!

    Love your channel! I have an older Duramax Chevy that will probably be the last truck I ever own. Seriously considering sending it to you to work over the engine and transmission. It is approaching 300k, and although the only leak is from the windshield washer reservoir, I'm confident that the power train is reaching the end of its service life. I'd rather spend the money to keep this truck on the road, than drop $150k for a new truck to replace it.
