Cummins 4b Block Repair After Massive Overheating
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- In this video I bored, and honed a very overheated 4b Cummins to restore the cylinders then decked the top of the block because it was warped out of spec which is very common on an engine that has been hot. Thanks for watching!
People whine about watching paint dry ... Only Brian has faithful viewers willing to watch and wait for a light bulb to possibly burn out!
I've paid to see worse in theaters!!!
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
I would watch Brian mow his lawn!
You can see that in the barn rescue video. LOL Won't be seeing that for awhile though now I am afraid. :-(
@@bcbloc02 Yep. No boss.
I think the placement of the drop light was very artistic. It shows a Rubinisk point of view.
No BS.
Straight to the point.
Nice job!
Always enjoy seeing your big, old machines at work. That boring mill sure earns it’s keep.
Hardest working machine in the shop!
You ain't called Block for nuthin'! That one was cooked for sure good job Brian!
I loved the light scene. As my dad always said, "hold the light so you can see".
Holding a drop light for dad is where I learned to swear!
Riding with him in the semi, and backing in at the docks at Chicago taught me the finer points of volume and delivery, as well as how to string several expletives together into a paragraph.
Don't sweat it. You gotta make a living. We will take whatever you give us whenever you give it to us. That table has got some pretty nasty cutter gouges...

I did notice the studio grade drop light. Thanks for the content and greetings from NJ>
That was a nice drop light, one thing that stood out that you don’t see much of anymore is that it has a cord! Lol
Brian! I have to say that you and your work are truly amazing! Your dedication to your farm, work and machine shop is a tribute to you! I have ceased to watch a few of your contemporaries as they drag out their videos, spout politics and look for hand outs.
Yeah Brian is like Mr Pete he doesn't have patreon flashing on his videos or asking for money on every video when he needs money he goes to work not like most Americans expecting a handout
I earn what I get but still have many generous viewers that donate their time to watch and occasionally tooling they won't be using and I certainly appreciate it!
@@bcbloc02, That’s how America became what it was, everyone worked for what they had. It is still a great idea and people can make something out of themselves doing it, trouble is that there are some that learn how to live off the system rather than contribute to it.
Thanks for showing us how you do it.
Always a pleasure Brian
Looking good Brian!
I had 2 of those 4BT engines at one time. I was going to put them into my '53 International trucks. Figured they would fit the short engine bays nicely. But ultimately I ended up selling both of the engines because of how much vibration they had. They vibrate a lot more than the 6B engines. I ended up buying a gas 264 to replace the blown up 220, and I guess I will keep the original 240 in the other truck, because it is fine. Some day I would like to put a 6V53 into a '55 Chevy car. Yes I am an odd one. At least it will keep me from getting speeding tickets. Maybe not disturbing the peace tickets though. Some day dreaming. ----Doozer
Dude you are fine ! Just post what you can/want!!!! I enjoyed everything you have posted ! From barn build and the 16.0 drag fork lift!! Give Jeff paydirts purple people eater and run for his money!
Nice job Brian.
Heck you could have just put some new rings on those pistons and give the bores a little dingle berry hone and she would have been like new.
I liked the jab about the Allis in there.

Always enjoy the videos.....Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
wishing you all the best Brian, cheers from central Florida,, Paul
Many thanks
Hey Brian. Nice to see you with a somewhat easy job. for a change. Thanks
That first piston was a painful sight. I'm not picky, I thought the lighting was fine.
Actually the trouble highlighted the differences from milling depth.
Boy howdy those pistons sure lived a traumatic life.
good video brian
Chip off the old block! Better keep the videos coming.
Good job Brian.
What was the reason for over heating to start with?
Blown head gasket?
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
I have no idea really, didn't see the machine just the results. They said they knew it and a new radiator had been installed already but the engine was already hurt. I believe it leaked the coolant out and then got ran without any.
Thanks for another video feller 👍👍 hope you have a good weekend 👊
Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Nice work!
One thing about Brian, he keeps ones interest on every project he shares with us regular's. My Bucket list (if Good Lord Willing) is to stop in and see hands on Brian and share a tour of his place on my small channel. Of course, old Bear will bring along some TX beef to grill out (@@)!
Paying the bills. 👍
Nice work
not your best video work but far better than others are doing,
I enjoy a "Backside of a Trouble Light Video." It's up there with watching the back of someone's head...Just kidding...great job Brian.
If you ever do a perking that's been really hot, the holes in the block will distort so when you in stall the dry liners get thicker liners and bore it back round.
Is it not worth the time to bore the block holes round, then install the liners?
@somebody else the only liners I could get were thicker to the inside bore. You could always special order liners. They are months away.
I have done several of the Perkins/Caterpillar engines. Been a long time since I encountered an actual Perkins like a 354.
Hot hard was to bore the holes out ? Did you use the boring and facing head of the machine or another boring head. And did you finish with a hone job . Sorry we missed it
I guess the next piece of equipment on the wish list is a jet wash tank???
I kind of have one it has shown up in a few videos. It isn't really big enough and is a struggle to use but better than nothing! I sure appreciate that I have it and it was given to me by a dedicated viewer just needed a little work. I have been watching for a bigger one lose but nothing has turned up.
Sometimes rebuilder pistons have a shorter compression height, because it is assumed the block will be milled during the rebuild. That prevents people from having to find extra thick head gaskets.
How much damage did the overheating do to the crank and bearings? It sure made a mess out of everything else.
Rest looked great. I think the engine had low hours use.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Hey Brian just wondering will we ever get see the cincinnati milacron up and running?
Probably. I have a job I would like to use it for. Main issue is I don't know any g code programming and have never run a cnc in my life. Because I don't know what I am doing and can find little time to learn it with everything else I have going on it just sits. Also the hydraulic system for it is on a trailer behind 3000bales of straw I have to move to get to it. It is on my want to list but the have too list is currently lots longer.
@@bcbloc02 fair enough thanks
So I guess those pistons will buff right up?????????????
salut
merci pour le vidéo
It's like the block stress-relieved itself where it got hottest, it might have been flat when it was at elevated temp. What's the effect on compression with the milling?
Shouldn't be much. He only took a few thousandths...
Did it warp farther down, requiring a line bore, or just up top?
Was that a reference to Jim's Allis where the IP was not rebuilt correctly?
Yes. I believe it was toasted by too much injection timing. This engine was just plan toasted by being run too hot.
@@bcbloc02 Yup. I watched that a while back. I'm still a little surprised Jim didn't hear the timing knock. For as few hours as he had on it it must have been hammering on those pistons something fierce. But again I don't think they are big on the diesel side. Guarantee he knows what it sounds like now. LOL.
@@ShainAndrews I can’t imagine it would not have been hard to start too especially if it was cool. Maybe because it lives inside they never tried to start it when it was below 50f.? They could have shot it with a timing light before they took it apart and seen what it was at. Guess it will always be a mystery unless it happens again.
@@bcbloc02 I got the impression base timing was reasonable and there was some dynamic timing causing the damage. Been a while since I watched it. Expensive lesson for the average person without a full machine shop.
need a camera person, to keep up , where is that volunteer to observe learn from a master !!!! the next generation to carry on..
Kurtis at CEE is lucky. His wife does an excellent job with the camera.
@@phlodel, She is really good and I think she does the editing also, whoever does that is good too.
when you machine an engine like this when do you need a torque plate?
You really need a torque plate for an engine with light rings or one where you need it to break in fast. The hard chrome ring in a diesel like this can break in just fine on a conventional hone job after a few hundred hours of operation.
Did you line bore it also?
Nope bottom end looked great and checked fine.
Man i dont mess having to do setup like that, engine shop machines are for the lazy guy lol
Dedicated machines for sure make it quicker!
@@bcbloc02 but machines like you have you come in handy for a lot of other stuff
Hiya Brian
Will that block get an extra thick head gasket?
Depends on how it specs after assembly but likely yeay as it whould come up about .005" too much piston out of the block for clearance. They make .010 and .020 over so they can get what they need when they put it together.
9th👍 in 4 minutes!⚙️🛠👍✌️
Your the man in a speeding car coming to the Y in the road. Soon you have to make a decision all signs point to self employment.
Are oversized pistons available for it? What about piston clearance if you decked the block and milled the head?
The pistons were .040" over and they offer overthick head gaskets to make up for what I took off the block.
