We couldn't have produced this video without FORTIS. Thanks for all the support guys. We don't have merch yet but if you want to support the channel then buy rubber tracks, the scrapers used in this video, undercarriage parts, etc at Fortis using this link tinyurl.com/Support-TekamoHD
The reason you glue the oil pan gasket to the block and not that pan is actually extremely important and vital. I can’t believe you don’t know this, but the reason is pretty well known. The purpose of glueing it to the block and not that pan is so that the next guy doesn’t have it easier then you because screw that guy he has to be miserable as well.
We appreciate it man and we always love seeing you in the comments! The goal 100% is to get these out weekly but the tough part is funding so shameless plug to FORTIS for helping out. With their help we're going to be adding more editors to our media team to get episodes out quicker. FORTIS: tinyurl.com/Support-TekamoHD
@@PortCapital the honest truth is the channel burns cash but we started doing these videos to encourage people to get into the trade and to highlight how awesome of a career it can be. So it's worth it. We're fortunate enough to have partners like Rent1 and FortisHD who believe in us and help us with production cost. So shameless plug to them: www.rent1.ca/ and www.fortishd.com/
@@TekamoHD Makes sense I assumed not in it for views. Surely you get some brand recognition at least. Regardless I love the vids. Im an operator but have done several basic maintenance on our machines thanks to you. Company pays me a good amount to do it and nice side income from my normal hours.
It’s great to see Cam get a bit more freedom and more of a spotlight over the past few months. Well deserved and am looking forward to more great content.
Thanks Brad! Nothing too sappy but Cam. Carson and the Tekamo crew keep it up guys. These videos really mean a lot to the rest of us wrenching in the sticks.
3rd year apprentice from Nova Scotia and still learning stuff from Cam! Great guy to work alongside with and for. Keep up the great work guys Been watching him for a while love the vids
Holy shit! At the 15:00 mark I literally spit out my drink!🤣🤣🤣 Dude, you are F**king Hilarious! You make these jobs look so easy. That had to suck working in such a confined space. Carson, thumbs up man!👍👍👍 Nice job on your first solo! I know it's easy when you have experience next to you. And when that is absent, and you're on your own, it's always added stress, even for the simple jobs. Cam, you gotta come out with a line of t-shirts with your picture and some funny shit you spew!
hahaha glad you liked that part. Right now, all merch is through giveaways, for our awesome customers, or to those who buy from our sponsor Fortis and request some. FORTIS: tinyurl.com/Support-TekamoHD
Hey man! Glad you liked it. Multi narratives will be very common in our Service Call series moving forward! Check out yesterdays episode we just released.
I used to work on boats with Cummings, MANN, CAT, and old car engines some years ago and I'm impressed with what you accomplished in this video. I've spent countless hours in old and dirty engine rooms and can't say that I miss it at all. We used to work all day long in these engine rooms barefoot while regularly having out feel submerged in smoog made of up of coolant, oil and god knows what else. Bilge and engine room water is some nasty stuff as you never know what you are putting your hands and feet into. Time and time again one of us would drop a socket, wrench or bolt into the smoog water and I'd be the one to stick my hands in it to find what we lost. Believe it or not, some aquatic life can actually survive on the muck water in the bottom of a boat. I actually had something bite me once and latch onto my toe. We could not identify it, but it looked like a cross between a baby lobster and a snail. I think nastyness that it was thriving in altered it's genetics or something. Anyways, I was mostly an assistant to the mechanics, but I watched a lot of these guys struggle with what you did. Working in tight spaces like that sucks, but you made it look easy. Good job man.
Cam is incredibly knowledgeable and one of the hardest working mechanics we know. Appreciate you sharing your story with us. Would love to hear more if you got any to share. Comment or email us at media@tekamohd.com
Appreciate it. Just seeing him totally ace that job on that cummings was great to see. Watching this video brought back a lot of memories of when I used to work on boats. Working on boats can be extremely lucrative. If really develop the knowledge and tool kit to work on boats, you can land jobs or contracts that pay thousands of dollars. I remember seeing invoices totaling anywhere from 60-100k USD when we finished jobs on million dollar yachts. Some of these jobs could take weeks or even months, but you always run into snags and issues with parts availability. Many times we would have to fabricate our own tools. If really can be a pain in the ass, but if you can make it work, you'll see some serious income. Thanks. @@TekamoHD
Carson, leave a bit of the rod out when you pull cylinders. Makes it easier to disassemble the cylinder for one and leaves a little more wiggleroom when installing the cylinder.
I know right! Clean gear to work on, million dollar scenery, and a wicked test ride for quality control purposes. I can imagine coming away from that job with all the good feelings.
Its funny to see how much more comfortable these guys are getting in front of the camera. Been around since the beginning of the channel and its awesome to see the growth and quality of videos. Theyve always been awesome but there getting awesomer….🤔Either way great stuff as usual guys👍
Great camera work and great narration. I have only worked on a few boats. Don't much like confined spaces. Much prefer the outdoors. Thanks, the old school guy.
These guys are so entertaining to watch, good on cam for having the patience to work in such a small spot with the added stress of trying to keep the WHITE interior clean while doing this project!!! Keep it up and nice work Carson
Thanks Brad! For giving them an awesome opportunity to film something different and unique. It’s really great to see these guys grow their channel and expand their spectrum of stuff they get to work on.
thanks mr richison. Brad is indeed an absolute legend for letting us film. We always try to get the unique jobs on camera but not everyone is cool with us filming and thats alright too
Loved this video, especially because I had a Cummins 6BTA in a similar size boat, and did all my own maintenance. It would have been so much easier if I had been able to watch a video like this! Much more primitive the way I did it, because I am not a mechanic. Also had less room to work in. My pan had a lower portion, and I had to lift the motor to get it out. Finally removed it all from the boat, restored it and put back in like new. A great motor.
i wish my boss would have let me keep going on my work vids. states thats really cool, then says put your phone away and get to work.. so i think its awesome you guys are aloud to do this. i can really only make videos on service calls
@TekamoHD Look forward to it, I'm a student of the industry myself and this channel has already taught me a lot 😁🤙 For learning sake, can you make a point of showing and explaining the times you guys are using unique tools?
Bahahaha. I actually burst out laughing when Cam was dancing with the front cover…. Awesome. A little tip from someone who has done a shit pile of engine overhauls, for those really baked on gaskets, smack the gaskets with the ball end of a small ball peen. It seems to distort the paper and they come off way easier. Just go easy so your not peening the metal. 👍
You should try weatherstrip adhesive instead of 515. Sticks the gasket to the cover good and won’t let it shift around like 515. Never had it leak and had a fleet of those motors.
Thanks brad! This one of the most interesting videos I’ve watched so far, considering I work in a boat shop and currently am at work fixing electrical issues and Honda engines!
Great video guys! You live in a beautiful area. I like that your camera angles show how cramped it is working on boats. I want to see those toes. No blurs and no bleeps next time.
Wow! The production quality of these videos is amazing!😮 I feel like I'm watching a high quality TV series. I hope this channel gets more views and subscribers
the lug nut on a 3500 ram or any of the nuts with the washer built in they thread on the injector and thee wash makes it a good pray spot to get them out as well !
Just a tip for anyone doing engine work, always tag out the engine if you have the engine pinned or locked! That would be a bad day if that turning tool was left in there accidentally, best to leave notes and other reminders on the engine controls and work area. I'm currently rebuilding twin 8.3L cummins in a 42 foot SeaLine, that 5.9 looks like its been cared for very well by comparison.
THANKS BRAD.. another quality video again👌 and for some reason, my access on the contest has been denied by securi firewall, and you need to purchase a security plan before they grant you a support ticket to enter the contest.. So sad brad😔
I did a fair amount of inboard diesel work and it usually wasnt too bad. I preferred the yachts over fishing and pleasure vessels personally. For the paper gaskets 3M super 77 works pretty well im told. Spray it on the gasket and install it on the pan after 20 or 30 seconds of sitting and itll stick to the pan next time the pan comes off, i haven't done it that many times since I usually don't have it handy and I've never had to pull anything back off that I did it on. I also perfer to use a wire wheel on cummins gear covers to get the gasket maker off.
Thanks Captain Brad, it’s cool to see the crew working in a different environment than normal… shoulda made them walk the plank good measure (there’s still time!)

I’d love to get an unfiltered version of the boys
This is the best episode of ice road truckers I've ever seen.
pretty warm out for ice tho isn't it
Look at Carson smashing it solo! So cool to see his progression. Just need that big UA-cam money to hit and Cam can buy his own boat!
Lol i dont think they make much from UA-cam. But Cam definitely gets a lot of business off it.

The $4.99 for the feet had me cracking up good repairs boys👌🏼
Hahaha glad you liked that
I was a Foresty field tech for years in Washington and these videos bring back good memories... and some bad ones too!

Glad you love em Chad! Lots more to come
Pretty sick seeing some boat work! Can’t wait to record this 3126 build and submit it into you guys
Greetings from Reno, Nevada.
It was great viewing two projects in one video. That breaks up the monotony.

What a good Sunday morning present a new video from tekamo!
anything for you daddy walsh 👌
You guys are awsome you got a good sense of humor buddy

Hi Sal
Great video! Never did a boat before .Looks time consuming , but interesting.
love you terry
Thanks brad enjoying the video!
glad you're enjoying! We got tons of Service Call episodes published and tons more coming out
Thanks Brad

The best channel on UA-cam (sorry AvE).
AvE is King
Awesome video! Cool to see carson killing it on his own. 👍
thanks for watching boss
Whale Thanks Brad!!!
I love your channel but it’s giving me nightmares from remembering doing engine work on boats at the last shop I worked at, lol.
the lug nut on a 3500 ram or any of the nuts with the washer built in they thread on the injector and thee wash makes it a good pray spot to get them out as well !
Just a tip for anyone doing engine work, always tag out the engine if you have the engine pinned or locked! That would be a bad day if that turning tool was left in there accidentally, best to leave notes and other reminders on the engine controls and work area. I'm currently rebuilding twin 8.3L cummins in a 42 foot SeaLine, that 5.9 looks like its been cared for very well by comparison.
Nice work!
thank you tom!
im a heavy equipment mechanic myself i can say everyone i know is the same as cam crazy af i talk to myself like this all day long
Can't believe the owner is ok with his oil pan being put back on like that 😂 🤙
THANKS BRAD!
YEAH BRAD!!
You guys did an awesome job with the production of the video.
Thanks Sal, we really appreciate it. This was one of the hardest to cut together so glad to hear Day 1 legends like yourself like it
Thanks Brad, cool video!!
Glad you liked it! Brad is the man
@TekamoHD unfortunately i cant enter the comp due to my country (New Zealand) being blocked on the website love the vids all the same
If you made separate videos for these two I wouldn't have to fast forward through the Carson stuff
THANKS BRAD.. another quality video again👌 and for some reason, my access on the contest has been denied by securi firewall, and you need to purchase a security plan before they grant you a support ticket to enter the contest.. So sad brad😔
Buddy send us an email instead media@tekamohd.com

Thanks boss 👌
I did a fair amount of inboard diesel work and it usually wasnt too bad. I preferred the yachts over fishing and pleasure vessels personally. For the paper gaskets 3M super 77 works pretty well im told. Spray it on the gasket and install it on the pan after 20 or 30 seconds of sitting and itll stick to the pan next time the pan comes off, i haven't done it that many times since I usually don't have it handy and I've never had to pull anything back off that I did it on. I also perfer to use a wire wheel on cummins gear covers to get the gasket maker off.
Thanks Captain Brad, it’s cool to see the crew working in a different environment than normal… shoulda made them walk the plank good measure (there’s still time!)
As long as there’s seals down there
Orrp Orrp Orrp!! 🦭
Did you check for the killer dowel pin for the cummins?
The white motor would be easy to check for leaks. More OEM should do that.
