Speaking of kids. My daughter just finished 6 years of college and passed the BAR exam and is now employed as an assistant district attourney 200 miles away. I rented a uhaul loaded her up and me and the wife drove up and got her settled in. When she first started school I realized she wouldn't be coming home every day anymore. I have to tell you it hurt for a while but it gets better. I was mostly worried for her. Kids today are educated and smart and my daughter is no exception. Tell your wife it will get better and a phone call really helps sometimes. Like the rancher told you we are grateful for everything you do and the content you bring here.You are right about plastigage. Never hurts to break out the gages and do a double check.
I remember my middle daughter going off to college in Kansas. She packed her bags and drove off. My wife was crying big time. I just waved and had full confidence in her. So I know the feelings your wife has. She cried as each girl left the roost. I just told her. They will be ok. And y Trust me. They will fly back to the nest some day. I was right. All her girls are as my grandkids. Now they are working on their master degrees in Education and accounting. I am very proud Warren.
Warren I’ve learned so much just watching and listening to the way u work I really appreciate the way u think and work it has saved me time and money and my customers. Keep wrenching
Enjoyed the video, Warren. It is interesting to me the differences in my kids as well. Same parents, raised the same, completely different personalities. Your daughter will do great. Some kids just know what the want a lot sooner than others. Best wishes to her and your family.
When i did my mechanics apprenticeship we had a teacher who came up with a lot Mnemonics(?) to learn. Here's one for you. "Oil on the thread and under the head makes them rest easy in their bed'". Its funny what one remembers. LOL Then I've always had a white "correction pen" in my tool box . Say you are torquing down a diesel he head with 4 rows of bolts, working in diagonals. You put a stripe or dot on the head of the bolt (facing the front of the motor) after you have tightened to the first stage of say 3. Then you can see where you left off if you get disturbed by customers or the phone or an urgent need to use the toilet. Its also good for timing marks too. But you know all this LOL. Happy new year to you and your family.
We used (it’s in the factory manual) at Mitsubishi a solder crush to set clearance on final drives on automatic transverse transmissions Are we getting old?
"The 17 is going out on her own. It's the 22 I can't get rid of" says with a little chuckle. I havent LOL in while. To be fair 22 is ok to be at home still as long as he doing something.
I know you may not believe it but I look up to your very highly Warren! I don’t have many positive influences in my life and just knowing someone like you as dedicated and hardworking really wish i could work with you! Might learn more in a couple hours then others learn all year.
Not been in engineering for some years but used Plastigauge a lot then. Instruction then, as today, is to lubricate the strip before placing. Silicon release agent or mineral grease. If used dry it does not spread out properly. Can give a higher gap reading if not used.
Thanks warren enjoying your channel for over 1 year now love how you just say the truth You seem genuine hard working family man just trying to make a living well done . Happy new year to you an your family from your Aussie friends
That's what makes a good mechanic never take anything for granted always check and double check, if you have a doubt in your mind figure out what your questioning. I think plasti gauge is more for gasoline engines where you can have tolerances a little more loosey goosey. The diesel mechanics I worked with always measured with instruments.
Good video, did get a bit nervous seeing the crank standing on the shaky cart though. As with the others, I have always put the plasti- gauge cross ways on the journals.
Thanks for the Videos. Hopefully you had a good New Year. Hard to trust anyone’s work, if something screws up, your left having to warranty the repair. Always better to be safe than sorry.
Hey Warren just an FYI sometimes you will get plasta-gauge that has been sitting on the shelf too long and it will get hard and not crush correctly sometimes you can easily tell it will be brittle in the paper tube, and also lay your plasta-gauge parallel with the crankshaft
I am glad you think the way you do brother. And your not alone..lol. Wish you were living close to us here in northern Minnesota. East Range. Blessings and prayers for you in the new year.
Absolutely all machine manufacturers service manuals state “use of plastiguage to obtain bearing clearance specifications is unreliable” “ At minimal The use of micrometer is recommended to obtain reliable clearance specs”
Rotate crankshaft after torque off each bearing to check for resistance or drag.Plastiguage is good for checking for underspec journals as these don't drag or bind.However you don't want play between bearing and journal.
I commented to Lex Tech lighting that you need a lift table with a stainless steel top rows of holes with pins machined or with washers tack welded on center you can put in keep the block from rotating. Most of them have wheels on them where you can move them around. As I mentioned in my other comment where I worked we had layout tables,that were cast iron about 6 in" thick with what we called "dogs" to lockdown structural steel so we could square it up and tack it before welding. They were fixed height about 30" high though.
Just found your commentary on the situation with the chines. You are a patriot and I agree with your assessment and remedy. That you are censored for such speech is beyond wrong.
What would be nice if he had a hydraulic lift table that can handle the weight of some of the bigger engines even. Then he could put something like Smooth sheet of stainless steel on it and drill holes in it maybe two inchs apart in both directions and make some one inch pins 6 inchs long with a washer welded or machined in the middle to drop down rows of holes to keep the block from turning on the table. That way he could put maybe a piece of cardboard on it put the pins in just sort of lock the motor from rotating. I was a welder and we had big layout tables that had square holes in it that you could dog your channel down or I beams when you set it up and Tack welded it. But this way a lot of those lift tables have wheels on them and you can move them.
I love my Milwaukee 1/2 “ impact, but watch at the 21.53 mark, it got bumped to lower power setting. Very frustrating. Milwaukee, make a unit where it is high torque all the time! Rant over. Happy new year.
Warren my sons 2007 Edge all wheel drive had a bad whining/growling noise. It was one of the rear hub bearing assembly's. Takes a special t50 torx to get passed the ABS ring. A bit of a pain in the ass but not terrible.
Happy New Year Warren. Think sometimes brains get fuddled when trying to get things right. Much appreciate the tech you show us. Sometimes small people have not got a clue what goes into things. Thank you.
Thank you for everything buddy I’ve been watching you on rumble and you tube lol take care buddy I hope after you figured out the book you wrote in there what’s up for next time so you don’t have any issues reading the book could be awhile before you use it again
Waren I usually put some assembly lube on the upper bearing before I lay the crank in . that gives you the oil clearance on the top bearing. As it is you have .003 per side. When you were checking with the plastigauge ,the crank was laying tight on the upper bearings. My opinion its a little loose but I'd rather have it loose than tight! With a good oil pump it will be fine!
Happy new year . Good bless ! You must install a metal Post on heavy assembly Table . There could you fixed the Motor which stand on the wheelcarrier . to push on the bolts with the great wrench . Nice greetings from Bert

hello friend happy new year ..dont let things get to much slow down and them thats no patients to wait let them moan and take there vehical else where you dont want to overload your self and put streese on your self anyway good to see and watching what your doing again friend ...john...england...u.k..
Ah Plastigage! I remember it well. It saved me a few times when I got the wrong bearing in a set. Or once when I had a machinist cut a journal tapered instead of straight. And Looks like you are using the 'old fashioned' vernier mikes instead of the dial type. And I built a lot of diesels and some race engines without any micrometers (since I couldn't afford them at the time).
Hi Warren get yourself a pair of glasses and use them lol. Like yourself my eyes ain't what they used to be and find my glasses are great for doing close up work/reading. Mick 👍🍻🤓
Check the all wheel drive box over the converter. Holds one quart or less and gets cooked . U tube ford mechanic has good videos on this issue. Good luck ⚒️🦴👌
Yeah those t-cases can be p.o.s. Also the left output shaft bearing goes in those too. I've replaced a few of them. But the t-cases don't have drains but you can add one. Check Ford tech mekeloco on UA-cam he's very informative.
@@bill4755 I suspect most of it is due to the algorithm, which seems to be a hard nut to crack for UA-camrs these days. I was just randomly suggested this video, and I subbed. I do watch related channels like kt3406e, watch wes work, SMA etcetera as well though.
Completely understand you having to go to numerous parts houses to find plastigage. Took me four places to finally get a stick! First place the 18yo pimple faced kid never even heard of it. The next two places knew of it but have to order it as it is rare for people to use it. What? How are people measuring crank/rod clearances? Parts manager said they don't now a days. Just get the crank back from the machine shop and throw in the bearings. WOW.
I know the feeling when I hit 40 I needed glasses. Now I am way passed 40 and my glasses are not quite coke bottles. But I have to have glass lenses to keep them from getting scratched up when I am mechanicing.
If that Ford Edge is AWD check the transfer case. They were known to have issues with coming apart. Check out this video if you get a minute. (3) How Ford All-Wheel Drive Power Transfer Units Fail and What You Can do to Prevent it! - UA-cam. Any word on the John Deere crankshaft? I get to go through the kids growing up all over again. Ours are 2, 4 and 5. I am a subscriber on Rumble. Thanks for the video.
I have an assortment of 6 and 4 cylinder engines in my farm eqptment one is a Cummins 4 bt, it shakes like hell at low RPM's and I understand the 6 vrs. 4 balance issue but seems like some 4's shake much worse than others? I have a Sisu diesel (made in Denmark or somewhere) it has balance shafts like the hay squeeze you worked on. Seems like if you go to the trouble to design and manufacture the balance shaft mess it would be less cost to add two more cylinders. I had an Allis Chalmers / Buda 6 cylinder engine which was the smoothest running engine I have ever had, that engine was designed in the 1950's I believe, sometimes I think Engineers take one step forward and two backwards.
I wonder is it because the plastigauge has to be placed to go across (side to side) the bearing not along the middle if that makes sense Warren? Following you along on bumble too buddy. Happy new year!
Hey warren you’re fine UA-cam isn’t gonna mess with you. You upload videos of you working and sometimes you give your opinions. UA-cam normally goes after people that make a whole videos on their opinions.
You know how books are they always confusing anyway like I said I am so happy that your daughter is going to college and I guess you have to deal with your other daughter I got one myself 66 years old I don't have that problem she's all married and have a family of her own but anyway wish you well I think you worked very hard don't worry about the things other words what people are doing you just do what you do you can't change the world no matter what you do you're out there with the public you got to deal with it we don't worry about things like that no more they're going to say what they want to wish you a good life you work hard for it wait till the next video your friend
Warren, your doing a professional job on the bottom end. I remember OVH a 8V92 and found one box of rod bearings was .10 OS for a standard crank. Thats why I like to measure my bearings. I love that VAL heater because I have it also. I installed a house thermostat to the wiring harness and set it for sixty degrees. My truck customer left my heater run all night and in the morning I arrived it was fifty-two degrees in a 70 by 40 foot shop. The outside temp was five above Zero F. What Make and Model is that torque Wrench? Thanks and Happy New Year.
Does your boy help you anymore Warren? I have 2 daughters who have full ride scholarships to university of Michigan Dearborn and the younger Eastern Michigan. Saved me alot of💵. Oldest wants to leave , my baby loves living here🙄
Hi Warren. Love your vids! It's great to watch you keep these guys going. I was wondering if that electric heat worked out for you. A lot of the buildings I worked had a similar setup. They seemed to keep up pretty good keeping the place warm....
Hi, Warren, dont be offended by the suggestion, but I chased my own tail on a plastigage reading that made NFSAA and I went around and around in circles measuring and retorquing. Finally I realized the plastigage package had a metric scale on one side and an imperial scale on the other and id been reading the metric one. Looking at your plastigage, though, I think thats unlikely - you dont show a lot of closeups but the quick look I saw didnt seem like it was squashed down as much as id expect it to be for a 2 thou clearance. .

Back when I started in the 70's assembly lube was STP oil treatment and we used brass shim stock to check the clearance.

I like that heater looks like its about a bazillion BTU's and quiet.
We lay the plasti-gage across the bearing, not parallel. Yes, rely on your micrometer readings
I wondered about that one time when I was building a JD engine out of a grader. I actually did a T with the plastigauge and got the same measurements
Absolutely all machine manufacturers service manuals state “use of plastiguage to obtain bearing clearance specifications is unreliable” “ At minimal The use of micrometer is recommended to obtain reliable clearance specs”

Warren, plastigage should be placed across the bearing , inline with the crank shaft to get the proper bearing clearance .
And there it is
it don’t matter, either way works just fine

Shop looks good.
Warren, your doing a professional job on the bottom end. I remember OVH a 8V92 and found one box of rod bearings was .10 OS for a standard crank. Thats why I like to measure my bearings. I love that VAL heater because I have it also. I installed a house thermostat to the wiring harness and set it for sixty degrees. My truck customer left my heater run all night and in the morning I arrived it was fifty-two degrees in a 70 by 40 foot shop. The outside temp was five above Zero F. What Make and Model is that torque Wrench? Thanks and Happy New Year.
Does your boy help you anymore Warren? I have 2 daughters who have full ride scholarships to university of Michigan Dearborn and the younger Eastern Michigan. Saved me alot of💵. Oldest wants to leave , my baby loves living here🙄
Hi Warren. Love your vids! It's great to watch you keep these guys going. I was wondering if that electric heat worked out for you. A lot of the buildings I worked had a similar setup. They seemed to keep up pretty good keeping the place warm....
Looking good 👍👍
Hi, Warren, dont be offended by the suggestion, but I chased my own tail on a plastigage reading that made NFSAA and I went around and around in circles measuring and retorquing. Finally I realized the plastigage package had a metric scale on one side and an imperial scale on the other and id been reading the metric one. Looking at your plastigage, though, I think thats unlikely - you dont show a lot of closeups but the quick look I saw didnt seem like it was squashed down as much as id expect it to be for a 2 thou clearance. .
I can’t get Western Truck and Tractor to pull up anything on Rumble?
Time for that digital mic, grandpa! ;-)
Some people i watch on UA-cam use BitChute as a backup.
I'm a Rumble follower. Won't be leaving any comments though as they require a cell phone to leave a comment.
I find it interesting everybody wants your cell phone number now.
Yeah I dropped facebook when they started that crap

Give them Nancy Pelosi’s #...🤣
May as well give it if you’re toting a smartphone. Your privacy goes out the window when you buy one.

.006 sounds good

Thank you for the videos Mr Warren. Happy new year which you the best God bless.
I wish you would rebuild my 5.9 Cummins ve pump it’s been at a shop for months they haven’t even looked at the damn thing
Like watching your videos. As much work on engine you do, I would say it is about time to quit using plaster gauge and go ahead buy a bore gauge.
