A perfect Sunday afternoon! Diesel Creek, Watch Wes Work and now Pacific Northwest Hillbilly! A trifecta of wrench turning enjoyment!
Add Marty T and the evening is sorted.
@@greentree180 I thought I was the only one watching all of them :)
Agreed!
My favorites also!
yes a perfect storm of quality content!
I appreciate your unfussed relaxed style, just taking everything as it happens to come without dramatics and without cussing. Well done!
That's on the blooper reel :D
Check valve lash before removing head. That can effect compression to and use new injectors seals. Add a little oil to each cylinder for ring gap. This will let you know if you have leaky valves. Then recheck compression.
*- Thank you for helping Matt.*
Matt DO NOT do the wet compression test on a diesel engine as it wiĺl ignite the oil and it could injure you and damage your equipment.
Poor Charlie, all she wants is someone to play fetch with her. ❤
Charlie says...this ball won't throw itself! Lol
I would pull the pan and give a couple bearings a look just to make myself sleep better.
Without question. Engine is out of its house, go thru it!
Rings and bearings are cheap.
The fact that the engine ran with all the crap you're finding surely means it's a pretty good motor, lol.
I love Charlie. She was cracking me up with the coming into frame and dropping the ball, and the ball rolling into frame without her. lol. I really like your relaxed, methodical way of going after these builds. Keep up the great work.
You do show a lot of determination and pay attention to detail. Good job. Grandpa told his son in law,,, "you can buy a bargain but you can not cheaply build a bargain".
I feel you' ve made the right decision. Best of luck!
we knew this was coming
Hey Matt, good to see you, you got this brother! You always do a fine job my friend! Now you are going to see what you were fighting the first time you tried to crank it, looks like a lot of the fuel lines were clogged up! The hitachi needs just what you’re giving it, some love! Nobody took care of it like you can Matt!
I could be wrong but it feels like someone got a new camera. Everything is crystal clear, the close ups/insta-zooms are fabulous! Absolutely love this content! I know NOTHING about all of this but I'd love a chance to spend a week helping. All I'm good for is sweeping and throwing a ball to that dog but whatever contribution I could make in exchange for the experience would be really cool. Plus a free T-shirt for compensation wouldn't be refused...
Simple or medium repair??? We all knew where this was going, you did too! You don’t seem to be the type of person to half ass anything. Do it right once. Good work man!
Another great video. Charlie sure likes to chase the ball but needs someone to constantly throw it for him. Hope the 'guts' of the engine turn out ok. Blessings to you.
Crowdfunding for a tennis ball throwing device.
I admire your hard work...and wish I could help keep Charlie busy for you!
Great video, and I'm looking forward to the rest of this renovation series.
Charlie reminds me of my Lab. You could throw that ball all day and she wouldn't get bored. Makes me smile. The picture quality of your video is exceptional.
Charlie was the STAR of today's episode!
Superb. Ambition level off the scale. Didn’t flatten the dawg.
It is usually a good idea to leave the top bolt or a stud loosely threaded a little to give heavy parts a place to hang during removal.
Thank you Matt. You're a braver man than I. I'd get that thing all tore apart and wouldn't be able to get it put back together. Keep up the good work.
I’m not sure if I heard you correctly a year or so back. Before the dozer, you’ve never wrenched on heavy diesel machinery correct? If that’s the case you have definitely done your homework on this stuff and have a lot of confidence in yourself. Really enjoying the series bud.
unless you count the tractor
Hi Matt, on any machine of an unknown history we always used to do a hot pressure wash with load a good degreaser, on all tanks before doing a static pressure test. It’s worth it for peace of mind and gives a clean start for any new engine rebuild components plus it drastically simplifies fuel, oil(s) and water system problem solving further down the rebuild road.
@@marvinmarlin9655 was planning on it, especially since a tree fell right on the hydro and fuel tanks!
That sweet dog bringing the ball every two minutes just makes this video. Charlie is great :)
Good decision to pull engine and pump together. When you and Charlie were outside at night,and the coyote's were there,seems like they were getting kinda close. Your dog won't stand a chance if the coyote pack comes into your yard,,believe I'd have some firepower of some kind close at hand,,or set off an old fashioned signal cannon there behind the barn,scare the crap out of them!!😎😎😎
Charlie keeps a good eye on you to keep you from screwing up ! I think you have another huge project here. Good luck !
I love your attention to detail and pass on that info...
Great job Matt, Engine I'd be tempted to leave alone - the comps are so close to each other its within spec - to double check you could always put a splash of oil in the bores & redo the compression test that way..
That Poor old Girl was “Riddi’n Hard and Put Up Wet” Best of luck getting her back into working order.
I love the Charlie cameos. She’s such a good girl and a great helper.
"Restore to what level?" is always the question. Most people cap the cost of a restoration to the value of the vehicle. This is the wrong methodology. Restoration represents the amount of work a machine can do over time. You can rebuild a machine not worth a lot but will produce work for decades. From an economist's point of view, the question is "What could you buy that will do the same amount of work over the same amount of time?" Most people will say this is reflected in the market value of a machine. True to a point. Because of your sweat equity, your machines have a much greater value built into them than would be reflected in the price, hence their ability to perform work well into the future. "Restore a way' I say, it makes economic sense in that the machine will be able to perform work well into the future at a lower cost than you could buy on the open market.
I think these older machines without the complicated emissions will hold their value over time much better than some of the newer stuff
I love the Cricket Croud in the background for support. Nice👍
You sound a bit down. Just take one step at a time. We will be with you the whole time.
Nah, probably just tired. I don't work on this till after a full work day at my day job!
Thanks for sharing Matt, stay safe and healthy brother! Sending prayers and good vibes to you and your family! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏼👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Poor Charlie just wants to play ball
I love watching your videos. Gets me cranked to start working on my 1974 F350. Get frustrated. Then I watch you and how methodical you dive in. Keep ‘em coming. 😊
I so respect this guy. I'd love to watch an interview with his wife and him.
I love how Charlie picks the most dangerous possible area, sits, then looks at you as to ask, "So you're saying I should sit HERE? or...?"
Thanks Matt. Get that firewood done up!
Might as well replace the complete wiring harness, and go through the engine, It's out of the excavator, and just do what ya did on the Cat, clean, de-rust, and paint, pays for itself.🙃just a lot of work.
Great to see the return to the excavator .
I learn so much from your videos. I’m stripping down a jd350 d 1968-72 and its been horrendous. A diesel mech let me down and so I’ve had to diy it. Never done it before. Your videos and a couple of other guys are helping put the jigsaw together. I dropped the engine 😢and broke the timing/front cover at the oil filler. Then the crankshaft pulley absolutely refused to move-seized so i had no choice but to cut it off. Took out the sleeves which was surprisingly easy. I’m cleaning it now. I have new pistons and crankshaft and sleeves. I’m way more emotional when shit goes wrong than you are so thanks for not throwing stuff around when you might want to😅
lol, keep up the fight and you'll get it done!
Great video that rubber between the pump and engine is a nasty job to do when it is still in the machine lol you saved a headache on that but you replaced the headache with everything else you are doing lol I love watching the videos buddy wish I had your go unfortunately I can’t do that anymore 😢thank you for sharing can’t wait to see the next video
My thoughts if you take the head off and the lower end enough to look at it you might as well put new rings and bearings in since you are right there
Yeah I'm betting the fuel tank gonna need some good cleaning. Definitely a good idea to take a look at it. Those compression numbers seem good for being cold. I've seen cylinders gain 30%-50% more compression when tested hot. I'm sure you're glad you took the engine out after all's said and done, a top rebuild seems good enough.
Matt is not afraid of anything, (ok, maybe the wife lol). What a hard worker. Poor pup just wants to play ball. So does my knuckle head. Gotta love'em though. Looking forward to the updates. I miss the bulldozer. But I know he is glad to have it earning it's keep.
Matt you have no fear! Really enjoy tagging along you your projects.
You made the right decision, and we get to see more episodes 👍
Glad to see you back after it.
I really look forward to your videos. That said, please make sure that your pup does not get hurt. Your pup seems to like to be where you are, so take care of the pup.
That machine was ridden hard and put away wet and it know no love. 😊
Master supervisor Charlie!❤❤
Thanks for another awesome video.
Ya gotta take care of yourself and family (chopping the wood for Winter time), the rest of us can and probably Will wait for any video that may be shared with us.
Until then, Peace be with you.
Great video's, wish I had your energy. Have to compliment you on your patience and your desire for completeness. Keep up the hard work.
Good progress ! So glad that I am retired ! This brings back memories ! " Night Mares " Keep after it ! Thanks for sharing !
I really enjoy your videos, and I think your dog is almost as cool as you are. Keep it up.
Winter is coming and that is a perfect time to do a valve job, new engine sleeves, rings, piston and bearings. I have a SD22 Diesel engine (1980s version) and I can get a rebuild kit for about $500. Even includes gaskets, rings, pistons, sleeves, bearings for the entire engine. I would at least pull the head and inspect the upper end, cylinders, cam shaft, pistons/bearings, etc. Timing is good for the project and would put your mind at rest. Of course I would replace the glow plugs. (Test those new glow plugs prior to installing..) You get what you "Inspect" not what you "Expect".
I really enjoy your videos so keep them coming. Tell Charlie I said "Hello". I notice there are other great suggestions in your comments section. Take your time and do it right. I worked 5 years on my project and enjoyed every minute of it.
best regards,
Sam
My friend had a 78 seville that his diesel tech said i think we can stiff an npr 3.9 td with the jr403e trans in and they did. Tons of cutting and fab work. He took me to toms trucks in so cal. Parked across from the shop entrance. Left it running and opened the hood. Like moths to a light. The diesel techs hovered around in. Wondering how in the heck did he wedge it in there.
You, Sir, have bigger balls than I !! That is one mammoth job on your own and filming too! Nice. Say Hi to Charlie.
Turbo and a top end overhaul. Lap the valves etc. Looking good and now you get to study re-wiring lol. Thanks.
IRL comes first... I liked watching you put the bolts back where they came from, can't forget where they go now 😊 got your next video on reminder for when it comes out
Matt, you are absolutely the man! Love your attitude, your work ethic, your depth of knowledge, and your video skills. I've seen every video you've posted, and always wait anxiously for the next one. Thanks for the edumacation. 🤛👏
Ah the bit we've all been waiting for! Go for it! Charlie's supervising.... @23:32 - the Ball of hopefulness....
Lots of work to go, but I think you are doing it the right way! Might invest in one of those automatic ball tossers for Charlie. German Shepherds are my favorite dog. Only had one in my life, and she was the most fateful and wonderful companion. Shultzie and everyone can guess where the name came from!
Front row to the grease show. Thanks for the update
Your compression readings were not valid. You need an adapter that is the same length as the glow plug. The missing glow plug leaves more space for the air to go. It is good however that the compression readings were all close to each other. For the pump I believe you can get a kit to convert it from electronically controlled to hydraulically and eliminate the wires.
This is the kind of stuff I wished was on the Spike TV power block back in like 2002. Great content man, really enjoy seeing you peel this stuff back.
Absolute right decision. It will make a lot of other things easier. No need for the sad music at the end! You're doing great!
Amazing you keep such a calm demeanor throughout
Probably a good call to pull the engine. Thanks for the video!
Finally we get to see your property! Please wear a hardhat when working under your lift. Matt, thank you for all the effort you put into making your videos... it really pays off in quality viewing.
GOOD JOB MATT, LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE ANOTHER BIG PROJECT LOOKING FOWARD TO WATCHING, YOU DO VERY FINE WORK AND IT'S ALL VERY INFORMATIVE AND EDUCATIONAL!
Great work again sir ,good to see Charlie your supervisor keeping and eye in your progress makeing sure that you have regular breaks and play time
Borescope's a cool tool. Great to learn your approach to engine diagnostics thanks.
they are so cheap now, it's worth it. I think mine was like $40
thanks for the update. Enjoy the firewood work!
Oh sure!!! I'm just gonna pull the engine to get to the wiring. Thats what I like about your channel, no stone left unturned. Keep it up. You know you will wind up painting that engine
Looks like another great project. Thxs!
You have low compression because the compression test plug you used has certainly a smaller volume than a stock glowplug.
Test their volumes by inserting them in a full water graduated glass and measure their displacement.
The important is to have even compressions.
It's a pleasure to follow your work progress. You express a willingness to tackle stuff!
The excavator has that dozer feeling about it. Wonder if you will get down to removing and painting each individual component and bolt ?/!
Great video with a great commentary, set in a gorgeous location👌👏👏👏
Oil samples are a good practice. As far as what I could see, it looks like you may be able to get away with just a good hone and new rings and bearings? Once you mic the cylinders and journals you'll have a better idea, but it's looking pretty fair so far. Pump may be a different story, but you can only eat an elephant one bite at time.
When HF first opened up I bought a load balancer. Pretty cheap even today back then I think it was around fifty bucks. If you ever use one once you will never make a lift without one. Pulling transmissions and engines still bolted together becomes relatively easy as you can vary the balance point while under load both dropping and picking. In boats as well as heavy equipment it makes find the exact balance point you need easy while still using the strongest attachment points. It makes lifting loads a whole new game.
I have one, but there wasn't enough clearance to to use it and get the engine high enough to clear the excavator. It worked great when removing and installing my dozer winch though 👍
I think the best part of this video is watching his dog Charlie, oblivion to what’s going on, dropping the ball to play fetch. Screw the excavator, throw the ball!!
Damn, I thought I had a bad case of “while I’m here”… Thanks for sharing.
Great work, glad you didn't die! My dog loved the coyotes yipping at the end.
you already have it out , re ring and roll new bearing in
seems your more handy with a pen than a wrench lol all in good fun hey by
Astounding work!! Impressed so much that you do this single-handed. Major props. I'm in for the whole project - fascinating videos.
great job muscling it into the barn, I have a small yanmar fx235 tractor, I welded on some brackets to on the drag box, attach rails to and use it often where my bucket does not lift like the 3 point plus to handle from not wanting to tip, Ya firewood is important and good weather to get it ready now for those freezing months
Very impressive!!! You are truly talented and gifted...
9/11/23; pulling engine out, negotiating terrain, attaching to engine mounting dolly...wow...lots of work..but you make it look smoothe...no nonsense..just great attitude & serious work ethic A+! Oh yea, love that Bore-a-scope with 'side scan'...can see cylinder walls, cross hatching worn & maybe few scratches? Yup, you have the tools!⚙️🔧💪👍🤗
I love Charlie wanting to play!
Thanks for the great video… Looking forward to the next one
I really enjoy your approach to videos, seeing your dog, and watching you solve problems. Great work.
Another highly entertaining episode in this series.
Matt, I hope you flip the engine over and remove the oil pan and inspect the lower end.
Can't hirt and omly cost a gasket to do so.
Of course most of us subs would like to see you do a head job and new pistons job but I know you wannabe keep the budget low.
Thanks for the Sunday evening entertainment.
It ran before you pulled
Check the valve adjustment, replace any leaking gaskets and put it back in!
Charlie has a 'chuck-it' ball. That may be the best invention for dogs.
It could win a Nobark prize.
I love your dog. He is a fetching beast. Thank you for sharing your experiences and triumphs! Keep them happening.
Good luck with the fire wood. Still gotta get mine done as well. My BIL lives next door so we share the work load. This year we'll have two splitters going. A step up in the world. Your doing fine on your machine Couple of years I'll be doing the same thing to my KH28L Kubota 1980's model.
Right decision. Do it right like you always do
Hey Matt, another great video. I look forward to watching you work. You have great patience and tenacity. I wouldn't mind watching you cut firewood also.
Well done Matt, good job.
