New question to ask ever video!
When's it going in the boat?
It's not going in the boat, I don't want to get it dirty. ;)
@ Dangar Marine ; Rolling on the floor and laughing my ass off at this moment...
@@DangarMarine Next video, how to turn a Detroit diesel into a coffee table.
@@DangarMarine and ur boat looks pretty also!
Haha I was about to ask that! :)
Good luck, may all the bolts fit and torque down first try, may your sockets all fit and new gaskets seal first go and remember its tea before the build and beer after.
Thanks mate! :)
The rebuild ability of real diesels like this ,ford Lehman , Cummings and the like is so different from some modern lighter weight diesels. Looking forward to your build up. Cheers Warren
Something about the old motors that have a real romance about them .
2:22 mark... I don't know what to be more excited about... the Detroit Diesel looking awesome and ready to go...or that bad-@ss SBC with aluminum heads sitting next to it. I think Stu should grab that one up too and use it as an emergency wing engine or build a new dingy to drop it in to!
That's the trolling motor.
Congratulations, that is major step forward, your hard work is starting to pay off
When you have a Detroit 2 stroke you have the sound that lets people know, you have a Detroit 2 stroke! It's the best.
Yep it's right there with two 454's and no lift muffler's !
They roar with the sound like if you shoved a boiling hot
Potato up a T-rex's ass!!!
Takes fuel and turns it into noise lol

Eddy is a show stealer...
The 4/71 is good too !
Now you have to video conference with Scott (Bus Grease Monkey), He'll tell you how to put everything back together...
It's probably more realistic than flying him out here. :)
@@DangarMarine and it won't cost you any money! ;)
Chris Wallace What happened to crowdfunding the flight? :)
@@mumblbeebee6546 Beats me I'm just a J.A.F.O. ...
@@mumblbeebee6546 I'm in! I was just scanning the comments to find one about Scott. Funny thing how big y-tube is while also being a small town kinda place too.
not the cheapest thing to rebuild but all that work will pay off in reliability for sure I reckon mate.
Yep totally agree
I love that Detroit Leaker green paint! The 71-series, IMO, are the best engines ever made, aside from maybe the Cat 3406. When I first joined the Army, they still had a vehicle called the Gama Goat, and it had a Detroit 3-53....near-indestructible torque monsters. You could hear them coming a mile away, but that sound was always music to my ears. I can't wait to see yours in her rightful place, Stu. BTW, how did you like America? You look like you had fun driving Scott's Silversides.
As the Detroit Diesel is a two stroke couldn't you have used the cheap camshaft and then used reverse gear to go forward and forward gear to go backwards? Alternatively was a suitable propellor replacement more expensive than a replacement camshaft?
My Mercedes 200d Heckflosse has a special throttle to prevent it from being push started backwards whilst in forward gear and that's a four stroke!
There are other options, but putting the right camshaft in was still the cheapest way to go.
Yahooee half the country is excited about this older noisse diesel engine, looking forward to seeing that working now I will watch the video. Have fun.
Half the world...!
Nice engine. It looks amazing with the paint job. And the valves! Will we get a look up under the sump?..... oh...... whens it going in?
Not planning to take the sump off now it is sealed up unfortunately.
Oh you`ll be screaming right along , LOL Jimmy Motor ,Looking great Stu , Eddy got sick cause you drive on the wrong side of the road HA HA HA ..

Ahhhh... that's better....
Now there is a guy in the USA umm you met him drives a bus
He sounds familiar. ;)
@@DangarMarine Might be a bit wet for Lenny to make the trip though, unless Scott's been doing some major upgrades....
The Green Leaker returns! And they don't call them Driptroit Diesels for nothing. Like Bus Grease Monkey says " If you hung a picture of one on the wall there would be a puddle of oil underneath". On a more positive note, they do use two stroke diesels in the largest supertankers and mega container ships.
You may have to invest in one of those animal enclosure with nice soft foam inside to look after the cargo and a good quality lock on the door for safety. Worst case would to be also attach GPS tracking if box accidently drops of a boat or stolen? This way your BEER will always be save and your relationship issue with Edd, "The other third, not half?" will be more pleasant in the future?
Great video mate. Can't wautbto see the gear box/ancileries going on. And ...... First start.
Why don't you see if Bus Grease Monkey could use the engine sleeves and camshaft for a return airfare to Sydney? Just an idea.You're going to be fine putting that together even on your own.Sure is great to see all your support coming in.. You're not alone Stu.
Wow thats a thorough rebuild..shell last you a lifetime now congrats🤙and remember if that gm isnt leaking oil after you break it in.then they didnt rebuild it right! Lol
Is it wrong to like this video before ive watched it ? hehe
no
Yes, and you should feel bad.
I did the same, clicked the like button while the intro was rolling lol
Pretty much always do that to Stu’s vids. Unless it’s a battery hookup video 🤣
No, its compulsory!!
Ya just can't kill a Detroit Diesel. Ya made a good choice.................They just run n run...............
That is a great paint job. It make all the difference . And it’s amazing they got the colour right and gave you a spare spray can.
Now I can back to TV and Watch the movie Australia on 7 fix’s now in Melbourne Australia
I just realise that Stu looks like THE DROVER !
Thanks mate. I actually gave them a box of paint cans then took the leftover ones back. Now to paint the gearbox!
Ahh good ‘ol 4-71 driptroit you’ll know she’s broken in when she starts dripping oil in the bilge. All joking aside, now that the green jewel is going back into the case, she’ll take you to San Fran and back a few times before her next overhaul. I have to overhaul a 4-71 here soon that’s sitting in a crusty old Dynahoe backhoe. Looking forward to smelling like diesel and oil for the next month.
Looking good Stu! Shame about the beer, my condolences to you and your shop mates.
I hope you have BusGreaseMonkey on speed dial, LOL!
Three cheers! Now, my next stupid question: will you start it before it's back in the boat? Maybe that's impossible, but I remember watching Chevy 350 engines being test run in the Mercury sterndrive factory in Stillwater, OK, and how amazing it was to think they had never been run before.
Yes, will start it in the workshop.
Served my apprenticeship on Detroits ,even EMD's but also a lot of other Diesels ,many of which are now just museum pieces > it's a pity i'm tied up and too far away as it would be interesting to see it installed and running.
Two things stood out on this episode ,one ,are you sure that's the same workshop that you had to climb through with a compass and a translator to get to anything ,and two it's so nice to see you've come in from the dark side and are now drinking forex gold and not coopers ,thanks for all the work keeping us entertained ,cheers.
Mine head work just be filled with so many things to do to get that engine installed
Cool Stu, Very exciting indeed. Nice to see it in your shop to work on. Since your part owner you can use it in the future as well I take it? Anyway looking forward to the prep and installation videos coming up
Thanks Tim. It is really Dean letting me use the shop. As he is the current tennant he has full say over what does and doesn't happen there, but we get along well and he's a good guy.
Make sure you paint the gearbox so I don't have to yell at my phone
Pretty sure Ed threw up because it was XXXX.....
That's one sexy looking Detroit 🛳🛳🛳
The only thing I hate about these engines is that a single injector can stick and cause a runaway condition. Detroit had a solution for this. They made a door that was bolted between the blower inlet and the intake. The idea was that if the engine runs away you can close the door and starve the engine of air to shut it down.
Stuey Stuey Stuey! Great news! That engine looks sweet, those guys have a great job of things by the looks of it and the fella with the gear box, can’t wait for the next vid mate I think you’ve earned yourself a coopers..... or two🍻 really good to see it back in the shop. It’s funny how you get that feel good feeling from things your doing on the other side of the world👍🏴
Thanks mate. I can't wait to start getting this thing back together either.
This is awesome! But I still gotta ask, when're you getting the diesel back? Excited to see it in the workshop so you can go over what all's been done. /s
Glad ya got the old girl back home, resleeved and all, how far over stock did they have to go? As far as surface rust, once you get that cleaned up, when you get new parts you've gotta store a while, just lightly spray them down with WD-40 before storing them.. Is what machinists do to prevent rusting tools when storing them. I wish I was there man, would be happy to dunk the beer in the ocean to clean it off, and maybe even help out with the new green machine
I think they were 30 thousands over, so quite a bit.
Thanks for the reply, cheers!
Love the re-purposed beer barrels. The Bus Grease Monkey on YT is an authority on older Detroit diesels. I'm sure you could find something useful on his channel.
Best of luck with putting it together.
Thanks for the video.
Yes, already picked his brains while I was in the US ua-cam.com/video/-6JG6_j_zeU/v-deo.html
Great engines , nearly every oil rig has one of these for mud pumping operations. They sound great when under full load pumping mud . You asked about retiring mechanics getting in touch , do you watch Grease Monkey you tuber, he knows everything about Detroits.
Thanks Ken. Yep, met up with Scott when I was in the US ua-cam.com/video/-6JG6_j_zeU/v-deo.html
That's Pontiac blue. Nice color
It’s going to be nice for you guys to have a newly rebuilt engine and gearbox. It’ll be piece of mind while under way. Nice work by the machine shop!
a lot cheaper to rebuilt it right once than wrong five times hahaha.
Absolutely.
A healthy Detroit doesn’t cost...
It PAYS.
watched all your you tube and here is a question. Which is best boat hull to get wood,steel, fiberglass or aluminum ? I like all your videos and wait to see the next video.
Really it comes down to what you want to use the boat for. Fibreglass is more comfortable in rough weather than aluminium but aluminium is more durable and makes a better work boat. Because they are also light though then make good small fair-weather fishing boats that can be powered by smaller outboards. Timber is more a labour of love for the traditionalist. They look great but take a lot of work to maintain.
Please remember, when installing the engine in your boat - DO NOT SCRATCH THE PAINT! 😉👍
Wow man!! That is one clean 2 stroke! Better snap some foh-tohs cuz she's gonna grease on up. I would really like to hear what she sounds like out there on the water
Yes, it's never going to look this clean agian.
i especially like the milk-crate boat seats with the cushions. deluxe edition for sure!
Yes, the deluxe versions come with cushions. ;)
The diesel and the old shop returns! Love it.
Have you been able to track down some Delo 100 40wt? That's the go to oil for the DDs in the States. DD has a strict sulphate ash limit requirement most straight weight oils don't meet.
Mobil Delvac 1100 series is also a good oil for the non turbo Detroit 2 cycle engines..
Congratulations my friend 👍🏾
I’m so excited for you! Can’t wait to see you put that back in and the adventures begin.
Great job on the restoration of the trawler , keep up the good fight soon you'll be flying across the waves !
Thanks Greg!
Talk to Bus Grease Monkey. His specialty is Detroits. Also he has worked on more than one in boats.
Already did! ua-cam.com/video/-6JG6_j_zeU/v-deo.html
“Hasn’t been cheap”? Never is to do a proper job. But since you brought it up, how much was it. 😅
Lots, not far of $20,000.
@@DangarMarine OMG...
Thanks for telling us how much it was. I was asking myself.
@@DangarMarine well thats cheaper than a cummins. I was expecting somewhere north of that figure. By about the $5k - $10k mark.
20,000 U.S. ?
good luck sport keep off the fosters till complete
There is doing it cheap and then there is doing it right! 100 miles off shore with reefs you want it done right!! Hang in there! It will be great!
Yes, I couldn't agree more. I really wanted to have a lot of faith in this engine and I certainly do now.
I don’t know what it is about a diesel. I was going to build a new truck mount using a diesel but cat wanted 20k just for the engine.
Yep, they are expensive engines.
Return the prodigal son....
Oh... lots of new expensive shiny bits.. Do you still have two kidneys?
No, only 1/2 of one. ;)
that old girl should serve you well.
It will still be running like a dream long after the boat has new owners
19 land lovers dislikes this video
I would let Ed drive.
No way mate. You heard Stu. He can't hold his beer.
Being back in the shop....seems just like old times!
Stevo definitely needs a tray top truck with a driver :-) I fairness to Edd beer is XXXX and spew on it would be an improvement. Donk looks pretty posh Stuman, sweeeet.
NOOOOOOOOOO , NOT THE BEER ED !!!!!! LOL Rinse them off and drink 'em anyway . I would !! It's BEER !! LOL Glad to see yall got the Detroit back man ! Come to think of it , I probably would have threw up on ED ! LOL
You're right, it is never cheap to do the job right but it is worth it.
Don't tell me...she ran away on you Stu and you forgot to press record :) sorry mate...time to watch now !
The real reason it has taken so long is that this is my 3rd one. I'm not going to blow this one up! ;)
Hey Stu! I haven’t worked a lot of boat engines I have worked many, many old Detroit’s. Worked on all (27) of the NY City Transit Museum Buses. The engine will run for fifty years or more, just keep the oil clean and the fuel and oil filters changed! Run a water separator on the fuel system.
Nice beer keg gas tanks at 1:06
phil I n overhaul 2 dda to one cat
Nice all around. I have been watching for quite a while. I have been a Marine mechanic for 30 years in Wisconsin. Nice Video Series and Damn Nice Boat and Engine. Enjoy and Good Karma.
That engine is pretty!
Great day for sure Stu, Eddie has never had a bad day while being with you, dogs always make the best out of anything. I know no matter what happens my dog always has a great time. Looking great, best of luck with the installation. Jeff in LA USA
Better call Scott, he is currently in Belpre, Ohio working on a pre-war Silversides.
XXXX Gold? Eddy, you hit the nail on the head!
Now, where's the real beer?
PS, the Detroit looks fantastic!
Detroit Jimmy looks good all dressed in her aqua suit Stew...I read this week that some lowlife pinched the landy mate..Are you sure that the camo paint just didn't start working?? I know not funny, I hope you get her back unharmed and soon..Bring on the reassembly now mate.
Thanks mate. Unfortunately still no sign of the truck. Cops reckon it will have gone straight into a shipping container and overseas.
@@DangarMarine that just sux mate..Hope not..
Looks great, looks new!
Just put an ls in it 😂😂😂😂
I would love to work on one of these even though I know very little about them.
I started watching your videos soon after I bought my first boat with a non-running motor that was also missing the harness for the power trim (your video on them helped sort that out and was the first one I watched). After working on the outboard with very, very little experience with engines and not just getting it working, but getting it working great(I enjoy messing with it to get peak performance), I found the experience very rewarding and bought a second boat with a non-functioning outboard and got that one working again too. Now I'm looking at buying a 28 footer with an stern drive (or maybe the other one I saw with the dual engines) that's not working and am looking forward to getting to know that engine!
So start making more videos on them because I'm probably going to need the help!
Great to see you've got the bug. :)
Will you fire the detroit on a stand before putting it back in?
Yep, want to test it first.
There is a UA-cam channel called Deboss Garage he is a diesel mechanic and fabricator check him out probably would answer any questions you have on your project.
I’m getting excited just looking at it. I remember getting my rebuilt 350 back and was super pumped to put it all together. Right on! Every video is very exciting. Can’t wait to have it drop into the boat and fire that thing up!!!
Sweet-There is no better feeling then getting your motor back knowing that it was done correctly!
For sure, it is going to be nice to be able to trust it.
Sounds nuts but excited 2 hear it run .....i need to get a life dont i 😁
Me too!
Awesome, you going to have a very dependable boat
Yes, reliability is very important to me for the offshore trips.
mate i wish i was a diesel mechanic so i could come and help.
Get in the Queue!
Get in the queue!
Your assuming that they would let you.
Correct me if I wrong but a 2 stroke will run in both directions meaning you can use the new cam by just replacing the prop ! I have a few older outboards that are counter rotation ( turn counter clock wise ) and your gearbox is F-N-R and the gear ratio should be the same in F and in R . Just keep looking for a prop that matches the rotation of your cam . I would venture to say that you will wear out the prop before the cam though ! I like the 471 , it’s beautiful !
Unfortunately props cost more than camshafts and there is the starter motor issue too.
Dangar Marine I hear what your saying the Bendix won’t engage going backwards! And a brass prop that size is expensive ! Sorry and thank you for correcting me !
Mr Sunshines correct but the starter bendix will only engage one way , I’ve had Detroit’s run backwards before ! Lol. After reading it again , I do want to know why your calling me dummy ?
Eddie is happy to go lol
Great as usual. I very much appreciate these videos.
Thanks Andrew.
When will you get the Detroit back? Huh, huh? When?
Now that you got the Detroit back, when will you get back to Detroit? Huh, huh...when? 😂😂😂 She's looking good, just a little out of place...for now. 👍👍👍 Can't wait!!!
That's a beauty.
Since you have the left handed cam shaft, your next project should to convert Renko to a dual engine trawler 😜😂😂
We've all been waiting with you , when I saw the title I punched the air and shouted YES before Ive even seen the video. You must have the most genuine follower base of all the youtubers and its because of You !! Cant wait for the next installment.
Great to see that the engine is back.
old 4-71 2 stroker
Bad dog, Eddie! Never puke on daddy's beer!
My cat puked on my printer, which leaked under the copier lid onto the glass below. After making the paper feed work again, I tried a test print (which just copies whatever is on the glass under the lid). It looked like a pancreas. After cleaning the print heads twice, I decided to lift the lid (had to pry it), discovered the obvious leakage-- which looked like a pancreas! Cleaning all that was... interesting.
Bad Kitty! Bad!
But at least it wasn't my beer...
Wicked! Really nice looking rebuild. Thanks for taking the time to send out the video. I really enjoy watching your projects come to light.I look forward to seeing your next video. Cheers.
