    SAFETY TIP: Please remove those drawstrings from your hoodie. Leaning over to work on an auger or PTO shaft, or any other spinning object could lead to disaster.

    I hate scraping gaskets so your hired. Another tip, throw the rubber intake end seals away and use a bead of black rtv. It will stay in place and won't work out over time, seals better and easier.

  • @1mongorock

    I am a retired master mechanic of 30 years, after you removed the gasket from the intake, check it for warpage with a straight edge and feeler gauge. Also set the intake on the heads and check the clearance on the end seals.

    Please don't ever change anything you do. This is great, genuine and from the heart. I noticed on a Cale video the other day it looked like he was measuring for a PTO shaft cover. I cringe every time you start one of those engines. That shaft knows no boundary's! I want you to keep your long hair. And as easy as you are on the eye's and to listen to, I need more Grant and your Dad. Your dad cracks me up! And is there any way Curt can tell about how farming used to be. When I worked on the farm in the late 70's early 80's it was not this. Not near as cool! And we had New John Deer equipment. Keep it up you guys are great!

  • @ianjsdad
    @ianjsdad 3 роки тому +14

    Love the videos, Laura. Keep up the good work and make Grant teach you everything he knows.
    As a side note, I saw that you were wearing your ring. You might want to think about (talk with Grant) getting a nice chain and wearing your ring on the chain when you are working on the equipment. This will protect the ring from damage/loss and protect your hand from injury from the ring getting caught on something. From a Dad and a safety inspector.

    They make a great handle tool that will hold that razor blade, it has a long screwdriver type handle....mechanics use them to scrape off inspection/tag stickers off windshields. Much safer and will work better, should have one at any hardware store. PS Wanna sell that sweet pickup?

    Good choice on well pump engines, i bet its a beautiful sound mid summer when them things are running around the country, Lots of bald eagles singing outta those BBC's! Probably not the most fuel efficient engine but they have all kinds of low end grunt for what your using them for i bet! keep up the good Videos!

    Motors are electric powered, engines are powered by fuel.
    A jitterbug sander makes easy work of removing the old crud and gasket material. I bet you've got some nice slices in your fingers.
    I give you an "A" for effort.

  • @patklemmensen1694
    @patklemmensen1694 3 роки тому

    suggestion for ya, for future reference - don't just toss fasteners into a can, bowl, etc, thinking you'll remember which bolt goes where during reassembly (you won't, trust me)... Ziploc bags, Tupperware containers, pretty much any container will work, with a description - head bolts, manifold bolts, etc - and a picture of necessary (tore down a V8 years ago, 7 of the intake-manifold bolts were shorter than the rest - and the 'assembler' forgot this, had to remove & retorque them all)...
