Possibly the most Dangar Stu episode ever - all the elements present: Sikaflex saves the day, outboard repair, mates help out, Coopers, Eddie gets bored waiting, Detroit removal, fluids in the bilge, guest-appearance dog, chook stroking. Great breakfast television
Stu, I cannot explain how satisfying to watch things come out easy for you. The fact you had to take it out at all was difficult, but that you put in the work to make it easier to remove later paid off (you always have to remove it later, whatever "it" is). I have learned the hard way to do it right the first time, which makes it easier to do it right the second time. I know in my projects, I research as much as possible and then do the work, only to find out I did not know what I did not know, which necessitated doing it again, but this time with experience. I finally get it right, with a few hard knocks along the way, but I don't let that stop me from trying. Cheers, mate!
Thanks Seth. I agree, it doesn't seem to matter how much research you do, when you are doing something you aren't familiar with there is always some piece of experience you were lacking that means you need to revist the job once or twice.
Stu this is definitely one of your bit sweet video. On hand your new engine will become newer. On the other hard to see all your hard work before have to come back out. For those that think owning a boat is easy, they need to watch all your videos on this project from the beginning of time....
I could do most anything, and I bought a 79 VW Rabbit diesel. The first thing I noticed - was the airbox was soaked with oil. So one day, about a year after I bought, I was driving 80 kmph. All of sudden, the car took off heading for 120 kmph and I had my foot on the brakes, grabbed the park and lifted them. I looked in the rear mirror and there were NO cars - or transports. Just a white/blue smoke, it blotted out the sun. I had already turned off the ignition, so it was running only on crankcase oil. It went for about a km. George was my guy. He started on VW's in 1965 and he was a Lic diesel guy too. He was a big red haired Scotsman. For 2 decades - he was my go to guy. I always paid him in cash - and kept his beer fridge loaded. Cheers!
I know how mentally hard is to do a job twice same time I admire your passions, keep going mate the satisfaction of knowing in the end everything will be fine out of mainly your own work is priceless
I used to watch your channel just for info on outboards. Then you bought this boat and the content changed. I thought what the heck?!? Kinda pissed me off. Then I realized I own 7 boats, grew up on yachts and I’m a machinist/ metal worker. Perfect fit for someone like me. Love your channel Stu! Thank you for great content. Just thought I’d say something in kind, and if you’re in Florida, I’d love to buy you a few beers. 👍
Made my day! That is exactly how i would mount the contact as well. This was a perfect episode. Friends, tools, work, fun, plans, chickens. A excellent format. Tnx
I have a '42 Willys MB jeep that I had to pull the engine and transmission 3 times, this year, due to oil leaks and synchro issues. Was increasingly more aggressive with the oil leaks, bolt sealants, etc. with each rebuild, etc. - still leaks, just not hemorrhaging oil anymore. Good luck!!! Old engines just love to leak or weep oil
Jeep and Detroit tend to be territorial. They eventually mark their spots. Our YJ, KJ and CUCV all do. I'm betting it won't be too long before the JLU and JT join in.
This is like we just went back many months. I'm sure Adrian will get you fixed right up. I run a fiber coupling gear on the back of our compressors to protect the geartrains of the Detroit and the connector with the spring and nylon. I'm sure he knows what I'm talking about. Can't wait to see the failed ring or rings. Thanks!!!
Your determination and dedication to Renko is something to envy. Trying to catch up on the last few videos. Sad to see the engine come out but anticipating the future when you're treasure hunting.
Adrian has a nice Heeler! I have had two myself Mic Mic and Girly, I miss them. Glad your doing the engine. Looking forward to the rebuild repair video. Best wishes be safe. 👍
Wow! Action packed classic Dangar episode including teardowns, spills, lifting stuff before figuring out where to put it down, dogs, beer and a throwback to outboards. Sets a pretty high bar for the rest of 2020.
At first I was sad when I read the title. But as usual, a most entertaining watch. Love seeing you and your buddies solving problems. Best thing I've watched this week! Cheers from Canada, mate!
18V fans cordless (or for that matter a small 12-24v fan) in the engine bay, bit of airflow makes all the difference in the heat.... Also, Deutsch plugs, available in all sorts of configurations, easy to install, beautiful to work with. Good for umbilicals that might need to be disconnected with the balance of the "harness" left on the engine. Good to see you having an easier time of things now that it's all been done well. 👍👍
Stu, I laughed so hard... "... send my lawn off to be mowed!!!" I have never heard that one before. As a bartender at one time I thought I'd heard them all. Thanks!
What agreat video, like everything, it's the diagnostics that leads to the fault...... Worked on loads of 2 strokes in my life but marine is different again.. As for engine removal from vessels......done loads with a hiad😀 Really enjoy your videos, so hoping one day I'll get my own vessel in UK
My Buddy's family all time projects with the number of Beers it'll take to complete the job. But a cold one gives one time to think out any problems. Here's thinking good thoughts to you, Jeff in LA USA
Hey Stu, best of luck with the repairs. Kind of a bummer to have to pull it again, but on the other hand, I really enjoyed the video and hope it gets zillions of views to help offset this unexpected hiccup. Be well.
Big job. Nicely done. Couple of suggestions: Use Copaslip on the exhaust manifold bolts and any other nuts/bolts that may corrode/rust and seize. Have a look at Metrinch sockets/spanners.
Love all the little extra odd ball snippets of info in these videos. My little outboard has similar problems... I'm going to have a look at the fuel pump next season.
Hey Capt., are you aware of accumulators? It can hold a few quarts of oil to supply the engine if the pump gets starved. Include a solenoid to keep it shut with switch off, and it will retain pressure for start up too. Look for a dep pan and add baffles to help keep the oil in the well. Grey RTV is a modern DIY gasket used by the entire automotive industry. A small bead on the inner edges is all you need. Great stuff!
@@DangarMarine You're welcome. It's a motor sports product, of bladder or piston style. Precharged to your minimum oil pressure and it will fill the container with the excess pressure (up to oil pump pressure, till relief valve kicks in). It's economical compared to a dry sump system.
what a pain having to take out the engine for repair, and to keep a sense of humour during the stress of it all your a better man than me, would a auxiliary engine of some kind be worth a thought for the future adventures, it has its advantages.
Great video Stu.. I will be looking forward to seeing work done by Adrain.. I am trying to soak up as much 2 stroke knowledge as I can. A product similar to that sikiflex that Scott (BGM) has me hooked up on it permatex right stuff. Man that stuff is good. It’s says it can be put into service almost immediately and it does dry up fast.. I once fixed a bug eye sprite carb with some cut off tubing for an o-ring, because nobody has a carb kit on the shelf for an SU carb here in the states.
You can do a temporary fuel diapham by cutting the palm out of a rubber glove and putting the reequired punctures for fasteners. Can get you home in apinch.
We've seen you repair a heat exchanger on one friends boat with a tube of goo, today it's a fuel pump. Can't wait to see you repair a piston or block next. Better living through chemistry.
I feel your pain Stu. Just finished rebuilding a 300HPDI Yammie (first time I messed with one of these). It leaned out and blew piston in the first hour. Time for another rebuild and sort out what went wrong.
@@DangarMarine Yep and from all accounts the Yamaha 3.3L HPDI's are very sensitive to AFR as they run very lean from factory. Everything has to be perfect.
Congrats on getting this all resolved! To add to your "to do"/improvements list, put hinges on the solar/canopy at the wheelhouse so you can just detach the after cables and winch it vertical to access the engine bay. Just winch it back down with engine out or whatever and you still get power from it. Hmmm, the 4(?) brackets aren't in line so hinging would be a really difficult engineering problem. Ah well it was a good idea... :) RichE San Diego, CA
I took a different route instead of repairing my old gasoline inboard engine with saildrive in my sailboat. Converting it to electric drive instead after it started leaking oil. Really fun project during the wintertime. And I'm looking forward to not having to deal with the engine oil or rawwater cooling anymore. I also have a gasoline outboard on the boat for making long passages, but for maneuvering to and from the dock the outboard is not ideal. Prefer the inboard those times.
G'day Stu, Great episode , seeing all the runabouts hanging of Renko's aprin string made me think you might need to upgrade the fridge at this rate , Just a thought ..! Much Respect from Shellharbour NSW
You really need that deep pan. I've seen Detroit's swapped into boats using the highway pan, they don't last long and the results are usually catastrophic.
Yeah great idea,absolutely stay away from cast aluminium,they rot out quick smart in a wet bilge,on my dads prawn trawler we got two and a half years out of the pan on a engine swap.
@Right Above You no baffling usually in truck or tractor engines used for marine use,the only variation is the cooling and exhaust manifold which are marinised.The Volvo penta and yanma or Isuzu engines which are used commonly in yachts or power boats all have the above in common,the exhaust and cooling manifold modifications.
Piston re-assemble goes first into the bottom of the wet sleeve and then if the sleeve is out of the motor it is to be installed with the piston already in it. Pistons installed from the top as is common with other motors is likely to cause damage to the rings and shorten engine life.
On the Inline 6-71's that we used for Generator Sets, we found that you need to put then rebuilt engine under as full a load as possible as soon as they are a warmed up. If you allow the engine to just idle, the liners can get washed out with Fuel. I found that the engines that were put under full load as soon as warmed up lasted quite a bit longer and had a lot less Oil Usage. As for Lio Leaks, you are correct, if you keep up on them you can cut down or just about eliminate the leaks.
Some deja-vu here. I spent many years taking diesels (Lister, Sabb and Yanmar) out of my commercial fishing vessels, and putting them back again. The fun ones were new engines in, but as for the rest...! I'm looking forward to the next episodes.
Dyin' when you took your hand off the shore power. 🤣 Classic. Looks a lot like me when I work on a cooling system..."OK, got a bucket to catch the coolant"
After cleaning and treating that stuffing box coat it with silicone grease like is used on pool o-rings it if very non-reactive and will seal the moisture out off the open surfaces.
I had to use one of those roll up cutting mats to make a temporary replacement for a pulse fuel pump a few years ago. The temporary replacement is still working. 😂
Stu make sure you get the adjustable air governor. Some of the cheap ones are pre set and not worth the price. Where are you going to mount the air dryer at? That thing is going to be working overtime in the humidity in that engine bay. And Kathryn said give ole Eddie a scratch on the back, and the girls some sunflower seeds.🐕🐕🐔🐔🐔💯
Oh mate what a bummer having to pull that chunk of iron out. I bet you never thought you'd have to do that again in your life time. Ya gotta really love the ocean to own a boat, they take so much time and money to keep going
Possibly the most Dangar Stu episode ever - all the elements present: Sikaflex saves the day, outboard repair, mates help out, Coopers, Eddie gets bored waiting, Detroit removal, fluids in the bilge, guest-appearance dog, chook stroking.
Great breakfast television

Yes, I think all of boat ownership is a bitter sweet experience.
I could do most anything, and I bought a 79 VW Rabbit diesel. The first thing I noticed - was the airbox was soaked with oil. So one day, about a year after I bought, I was driving 80 kmph. All of sudden, the car took off heading for 120 kmph and I had my foot on the brakes, grabbed the park and lifted them. I looked in the rear mirror and there were NO cars - or transports. Just a white/blue smoke, it blotted out the sun. I had already turned off the ignition, so it was running only on crankcase oil. It went for about a km. George was my guy. He started on VW's in 1965 and he was a Lic diesel guy too. He was a big red haired Scotsman. For 2 decades - he was my go to guy. I always paid him in cash - and kept his beer fridge loaded. Cheers!

Yes, it was extra hard bitting the bullet as it was the second time and it was running nicely. Oh well, definitely worth it in the long run.
I was thinking the same thing.
I used to watch your channel just for info on outboards. Then you bought this boat and the content changed. I thought what the heck?!? Kinda pissed me off.
Then I realized I own 7 boats, grew up on yachts and I’m a machinist/ metal worker. Perfect fit for someone like me. Love your channel Stu! Thank you for great content. Just thought I’d say something in kind, and if you’re in Florida, I’d love to buy you a few beers. 👍
Glad to hear you're enjoying the new vids too. :)
Made my day! That is exactly how i would mount the contact as well.
This was a perfect episode.
Friends, tools, work, fun, plans, chickens. A excellent format. Tnx
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have a '42 Willys MB jeep that I had to pull the engine and transmission 3 times, this year, due to oil leaks and synchro issues. Was increasingly more aggressive with the oil leaks, bolt sealants, etc. with each rebuild, etc. - still leaks, just not hemorrhaging oil anymore. Good luck!!!

Jeep and Detroit tend to be territorial. They eventually mark their spots.
Our YJ, KJ and CUCV all do. I'm betting it won't be too long before the JLU and JT join in.
If it ain't leaking it aint running my saying for my old harley
Glad to hear you managed to slow the leaks down a bit!
This is like we just went back many months. I'm sure Adrian will get you fixed right up. I run a fiber coupling gear on the back of our compressors to protect the geartrains of the Detroit and the connector with the spring and nylon. I'm sure he knows what I'm talking about. Can't wait to see the failed ring or rings. Thanks!!!
Thanks Rodney, I'm sure he will do. Good tips about the compressor coupling!
Your determination and dedication to Renko is something to envy. Trying to catch up on the last few videos. Sad to see the engine come out but anticipating the future when you're treasure hunting.
Thanks Harry, hopefully a big year of reliable running ahead!
Having coniptions waiting for the next video Johnny struck gold going back through the archives!
There's an old joke that if you hang a picture of a Detroit on the wall, in the morning there will be a little puddle of oil on the floor under it.
Ithink that is a landrover they now sell it with a oilpan to prevet driveway stains😂
All the best mark their territory. Detroits, VW(air cooled)... Landrovers...
If a old.landrover doesn't leak it is time.to.check the levels
Old split case Triumph motorcycles. Only it won't be just a puddle...
My old split case VW vans... Yep... same...
Congratulations. I hope you are pleased that you have created a very practical boat to work on.
I am!
Wound the channel clock back with that outboard fault diagnosis. Great stuff Stu.
Still have a full outboard episode to edit and upload soon.
Adrian has a nice Heeler! I have had two myself Mic Mic and Girly, I miss them. Glad your doing the engine. Looking forward to the rebuild repair video. Best wishes be safe. 👍
Thanks mate, I'm looking forward to the rebuild too.
Man the weather looks great...........swap any day for December in the UK, waking to frost every morning and dull depressing skies, you lucky fella.
Nice day again today but apparently we are in for a week of rain starting from tomorrow...
I have done temporary fix on a fuel pump using a cut up rubber glove :). Done at the side of the road to get me home, but worked well :)
Yep, cutting a rubber glove is another good way to go.
Many years ago I used to rebuild these engines for an excavating company. They are pretty basic and with the proper tools and parts they don't leak.
Exactly, just need to be done right.
Wow! Action packed classic Dangar episode including teardowns, spills, lifting stuff before figuring out where to put it down, dogs, beer and a throwback to outboards. Sets a pretty high bar for the rest of 2020.
While that thing is out give a 100% work over, you will be glad you did and great Vid we love to see this over breakfast.
You got that right!
Wears gloves to clean oil from the bilge, but doesn't wear shoes! part of why I love this channel! :)
I need to start designing foot gloves! ;)

Love the water community of everyone helping out and stopping by!
It is a great community. Everyone is always willing to lend a hand.
Nice work boots. Safety first at Dangar Marine.
I'm really glad to see you fully recovered from that accident!
Regards from Brazil
Thanks mate.
Only heard the intro, already you've got to be kidding me, your on youtube, everything always works perfectly. Really enjoy all your videos.
I'm hoping to do a video one day where everything works perfectly. ;)
Good Editing
Stu, I laughed so hard... "... send my lawn off to be mowed!!!" I have never heard that one before. As a bartender at one time I thought I'd heard them all. Thanks!
It always makes me smile when I see a turf truck now. :)
Nice to see Eddie and meet a couple of other great dogs😀
Fast Eddie!
What agreat video, like everything, it's the diagnostics that leads to the fault......
Worked on loads of 2 strokes in my life but marine is different again..
As for engine removal from vessels......done loads with a hiad😀
Really enjoy your videos, so hoping one day I'll get my own vessel in UK
Every time I see a coopers I'm proud to be a South Aussie. Don't know about the green but reds all good.

Couple of suggestions:
Use Copaslip on the exhaust manifold bolts and any other nuts/bolts that may corrode/rust and seize.
Have a look at Metrinch sockets/spanners.
Thanks mate, appreciate the tips.
Fair play Stu it's not easy removing everything again when it's so we'll put in. I hope it goes smoothly
Thanks mate.
Life just doesn't get any better than when you have pets to spoil!
Merry Christmas Stu and family (including the pets).
Merry Christmas!
Hey Stu, looking forward to seeing Adrian’s work! Great episode!
You and me both!
Dude, ive been trying to figure out a bowline knot for years and you just accidentally taught me lol
Glad to help! ;)
The comradery is exceptional.
Such good foresight to make the awning connections removable
Love all the little extra odd ball snippets of info in these videos. My little outboard has similar problems... I'm going to have a look at the fuel pump next season.
Thanks mate, definitely an item worth checking.
Order the part now so you'll have it when you need it.
@@TR4zest Thanks that's a great idea... I'll see if I can get a whole rebuild kit maybe.

It was a bit of a pain. I have been thinking of a few ideas for auxillary drive, video to follow hopefully!
It's 0130 in the morning in the UK. I'll need to save my Monday/Tuesday episode of Dangar Life for breakfast.
Enjoy. :)
Great video Stu.. I will be looking forward to seeing work done by Adrain.. I am trying to soak up as much 2 stroke knowledge as I can.
A product similar to that sikiflex that Scott (BGM) has me hooked up on it permatex right stuff. Man that stuff is good.

With the Detroit out, perfect opportunity to re-power with a Cummins, your ears will thank you :) , Good luck, I think your Jimmy is in good hands
Yep, I too feel it is in safe hands with Adrian.
Until maybe 6 episodes ago, I had no idea about the D-squad - It's a wonderful little ending to what is already a great show!
Thanks mate. :)
Disconnects two wires:
"Ok, almost finished"
HAHA
I'm an optimist at heart. ;)
Lol,piss funny.
I feel your pain Stu. Just finished rebuilding a 300HPDI Yammie (first time I messed with one of these). It leaned out and blew piston in the first hour. Time for another rebuild and sort out what went wrong.
Bummer. It’s such a nerve wracking time the first run after a rebuild, particularly with an engine you aren’t familiar with.
@@DangarMarine yep and this one got the better of me. I have built 1 Evinrude and 2 yammie 225's with no issue but this thing.
Ah, it happens to everyone, it's impossible to know everthing that is going on inside an engine unfortunately.
@@DangarMarine Yep and from all accounts the Yamaha 3.3L HPDI's are very sensitive to AFR as they run very lean from factory. Everything has to be perfect.
You should get some of those velcro engine mounts!

Well done Stu. That must have been tough given you're just starting to enjoy Renko after that massive restoration. See you on the water soon. Iain
Thanks Iain. It was tough to take a running boat and making it a hulk again but I won't regret it once it is back together. See you out there! :)
ha! Im glad you covered that it was going to be easier to realign the Engine because my first thought was "oh no"
Me too!
Good to see Eddy.... sweet boy.
I took a different route instead of repairing my old gasoline inboard engine with saildrive in my sailboat. Converting it to electric drive instead after it started leaking oil. Really fun project during the wintertime. And I'm looking forward to not having to deal with the engine oil or rawwater cooling anymore. I also have a gasoline outboard on the boat for making long passages, but for maneuvering to and from the dock the outboard is not ideal. Prefer the inboard those times.
That's the great thing with video editing. That motor came out really fast😁👍
It sure does, although it didn't take too long in real life either fortunately.
That engine bay looks so big when the Detroit is out!
I see that Daphne has you well trained :)
It does, and she does. :)
G'day Stu,
Great episode , seeing all the runabouts hanging of Renko's aprin string made me think you might need to upgrade the fridge at this rate ,
Just a thought ..!
Much Respect

Hi Craig. Fear not, with that lot around beer doesn't last long enough to go in the fridge. ;)
The shore power socket earned a like from me 🤣🤣
Thanks mate.
Great video Stu it was very interesting thanks mate this one I enjoyed regards John
Glad you enjoyed it
thank you very much for your time
You are welcome
I think you really had so much fun taking that motor out the first time you just wanted to do it again 😂
I might do it once a year as a birthday present to myself. :)
You really need that deep pan. I've seen Detroit's swapped into boats using the highway pan, they don't last long and the results are usually catastrophic.
Yep, think it is going to be a worthwhile upgrade. Adrian was also saying to go to cast as the pressed ones can rust out from the outside.
@@DangarMarine Stu why not give that oil pan and dimensions to Damien on Brupeg and have him build you one.
Yeah great idea,absolutely stay away from cast aluminium,they rot out quick smart in a wet bilge,on my dads prawn trawler we got two and a half years out of the pan on a engine swap.
@@DangarMarine Mercruiser small block engines have a pressed steel oil pan that has about 3mm of fiberglass on the outside

Great video. Only problem is we have to wait a week for the next one.
Working on it!
I’m so pleased you’ve done this, was not happy with that stuck ring.
No, will be nice to get it fixed.
Piston re-assemble goes first into the bottom of the wet sleeve and then if the sleeve is out of the motor it is to be installed with the piston already in it. Pistons installed from the top as is common with other motors is likely to cause damage to the rings and shorten engine life.
Indeed.

Doesn't that actually apply to all diesels new or rebuilt?
They are meant to be run under load for long periods of time, not idle with no load.
Yep, will be sure to run it hard after warm up to bed the rings once back in the boat.
@@jaquigreenlees It sure does but I've found that Detroit's really need to be run hard when first rebuilt!
@@USMMCE good to know.
WHen my cat hears your voice she climbs on my lap to watch your video. Too funny. You must have a magic with animals Stu.
LOL
You're just joshing us all. You really just wanted to align the prop shaft again. ;)
Actually, I've got another friends boat to align too. Practice makes perfect! :)

As usual love it!. Still got a few Coopers here at Bribie for when ya get here.! Keep up the great videos.
Thanks Russ, I'll be driving up to Bundaberg in January so I'll swing by. :)
That debriefing table looks like it works a treat! Sharing those moments with mates is the whole reason for having a boat in my opinion.
I missed your vids! Welcome back :)
Been making vids each week!
Dyin' when you took your hand off the shore power. 🤣 Classic.
Looks a lot like me when I work on a cooling system..."OK, got a bucket to catch the coolant"
I'm sure buckets are the same polarity as coolant. :)
@@DangarMarine Yes! That has to be it!
Brilliant timing looking forward to this one..cheers
Enjoy!
I think you made the right call removing it and getting it rebuilt again. The worry the motor was hurt would have always been there.
Nice one Stu, in a way am glad you pulled the engine again, love to know the end story on the seized piston rings 🍻
You and me both!
Cannot wait for next episode
After cleaning and treating that stuffing box coat it with silicone grease like is used on pool o-rings it if very non-reactive and will seal the moisture out off the open surfaces.
Interesting, I'll give it a try.
Eddy is going to be jealous when he sees you playing with another dog !
I had to use one of those roll up cutting mats to make a temporary replacement for a pulse fuel pump a few years ago. The temporary replacement is still working. 😂
They do have a habit of hanging in there. :)
Definitely a convenient way to get access to clean the bilge!
I think so too!
Stu make sure you get the adjustable air governor. Some of the cheap ones are pre set and not worth the price. Where are you going to mount the air dryer at? That thing is going to be working overtime in the humidity in that engine bay. And Kathryn said give ole Eddie a scratch on the back, and the girls some sunflower seeds.🐕🐕🐔🐔🐔💯
Will check about the governer. Drier and reservoir going in engine bay too.
Oh mate what a bummer having to pull that chunk of iron out. I bet you never thought you'd have to do that again in your life time. Ya gotta really love the ocean to own a boat, they take so much time and money to keep going
Tell me about it. I'll certainly feel a lot more confident about it this time though.
I was already smiling and then you dropped that shore power gag 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have no idea what I did with those screws!
«let me get a bucket.....» *splaaash 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And do I know the feeling..... 🥳
I've decided that buckets and coolant are the same polarity. :)
G'Day mate. Coolant in bilge? No probs it will help stop rust.
Cheers Rory.
PS love your vids.
