I love this project. I like watching episodes by notification; but there's one thing I HAVE to mention and that is the volume of that music. Please keep it down so viewer doesn't have to mesh volume down and up keys 🙈 Thanks for the series
You do a really great job showing how to fabricate parts. I can wrench all day but i never thought fabricating parts was something that id be able to tackle. You make it look easy and its easy to learn from these videos, thanks.
if you start burning oil thru the turbo id say that oil drain restriction would be the issue . if not then its good to go .. also should look for a brass oil plug because of the whole dissimilar metals thing with aluminum .. nice build so far
Zachary I'm glad you're enjoying them! Start fabricating your own stuff now! We all started somewhere and you just keep getting better with all of the of experience you give yourself. I still learn things every time I fabricate! Thanks for watching brother!
Spiders everywhere! The build is really coming along, I really like the DIY oil pan but I'd think a brass plug would be the better choice to stop corrosion with dissimilar metals, ferrous and non-ferrous. I use a TIG welder but have a Ready Welder for offroad and as a spool gun. The little one is a cutie a real Jeeper in training. Thanks for this series it is great!
I like the strength, but how much oil capacity did you lose making this pan. Especially on something that will be climbing hills and bouncing around, I'd think you'd want as much oil as possible.
Steve 1961P. Thanks for the question I shouldn't have cut the explanation out of my video I guess LOL a lot of people have been asking me this. As oils got better for the last three or four decades the oil capacity in vehicles got smaller and that's no coincidence. The 8 quart oil capacity that this engine originally came with is super excessive with a modern oil. Out of all the modifications I'm doing to this engine, oil capacity I don't think will be what Blows Its engine up LOL time will tell! Thanks for watching!
Nate Bleepinjeep if that statement is true then why has the 5.3l truck motor gone from 6 qts of oil now it takes 8 qts. Not saying you're build isn't gonna be ok but I feel the oil requirements have gone up not because the oil isn't good but because it provides more protection.
definitely want to see this truck finished and on some trails!! also would love to see this same swap done on a TJ/YJ-Wrangler, CJ, ZJ/WJ-Grand or XJ-Cherokee... Just Sayin'.
Metro Liberty I love diesel swaps so anything is possible! I'm looking for a good diesel powered donor for my cj right now so hopefully a video on that in the future!
I wanted to do a 4bt swap in this J10 initially, but the engines are so freaking expensive! I still plan on putting a 4bt in something in the future, I'm just not sure what yet
if youre located in the northeast states or fancy a road trip you could get in touch with rich deboss here on youtube im sure he'd have a rebuilt 4bt to sell in the next year or so, ontario bound he is though
Amazing work! Do you used different shielding gas for aluminum welding or can I use 75% argon/25%CO2? I just bought a welder with a spool gun and the manual said you need to used 100% argon but I don't want to spend the money for another welding bottle if I don't have to.
You never want to have three start/stops in the corners. You will have one, the other two you want to do in one pass by "turning the corner" by at least 1" on both sites
Just a couple of questions I like your ideas and everything but how much wood will that change the capacity of the amount of oil that you put in would you have to snip the end of the dipstick off and then re mark it . Do you know what the capacity was before and after you made the oil pan
Nice work. Couple questions, why aluminium on the oil pan? Just what you had? Also, is it hard to adjust volume of music when editing or something? The music is always way too loud and it's aannoying. Gotta turn it down when the music is on, then back up so I can hear you talk. Lots of videos on UA-cam are this way and it drives me nuts.
Vinny Gullotta they make them for a whole bunch of different machines now! You might have to email the manufacturer of your welder and see what they have. Definitely a handy tool to have around the shop!
Do you think you'll need to use pipe dope or Teflon tape to keep the plug from leaking? I am just thinking most oil plugs have a gasket while this one does not. Very interesting content. Thank you.
Besides unnecessary hacking the merc I like the project. Great job. Did you compare the oil capacity between the oil pans? Would be good to hold the same or bigger amount of oil in the offroad machine to avoid oil starvation under weird angles.
Sweet build! Cool to see a spool gun used rather than the endless TIG videos. With the clutch pivot bracket mounted to the engine/gearbox won't it move around when you come on and off power? Probably not a big deal but I wonder if it should be on the frame or body instead. Great work, keep up the videos :)
Mark Hendry thank you for the question! That is something I thought about also, but I believe this is the orientation that it came with stock. It's pretty strange to me, I've never seen it before, but most of the vehicles I work on or a lot newer than this and have a hydraulic slave cylinder. Once I get it running and driving I'll see how I like it, I could always change the bracket to mount on the transmission side. Thanks for watching
Hey Nice build. I was raised with jeep in Puerto Rico and the ones you have are like diamond. Question, I see you are using your regular mig for carbon welding and I see that you used the aluminum spool gun works wonders for your build , but Are you using the Argon gas mix for the oil pan or just the wire itself? Thanks for the info. DZ
David Woodbury I'm not worried about oil starvation in this build for a couple of reasons. The oil capacity was huge to begin with (8quarts I beleve) and by the time I do all of the plumbing to move the oil filter location and the oil cooler I think that it will be somewhere between 7 and 8 quarts all said and done. Thanks for the question!
i have alot of experiabnce with that type of clutch lever and when the frame twists and the motor rocks from the clutch engagment say a hill start they tent to pull apart and bang no more clutch lol
On the off chance anyone reads this, and will one day take an oil pan off... or a transmission pan... leave the bolts on strategically so when it breaks the seal, it doesn't fall and make a mess.
Black Hawk International Security I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with the other J10 yet, but a 12 valve swap is definitely crossed my mind!
What’s the possibility u can build me one of those pans I need on I have a OM617 swapped jeep Comanche and the person before me hacked up the oil pan to clear the drop pitman arm
Brian Cain I've had a few questions about this and I probably should have said something about it in the video. I'm not concerned about it for a couple of reasons. First being I don't believe I will lose that much oil volume when it's all said and done. With the remote mount oil cooler and filter, I bet my total capacity will still be somewhere around 7-8 quarts still. Second, with the innovation of oil quality over the last 30 years, modern cars don't have near the capacity they used to. Oil is just way better now. Once I had it running and I can top it off I'll be able to see how much oil capacity I have, but I use a semi synthetic 15-40w in all of my diesels (minus the tdi) that is far superior to anything that was available when Mercedes was still building these old om617 engines. Thanks for the comment!
Alan Wheelock om617a. It's a 5-cylinder turbo diesel used in the late 70s and 80s from Mercedes-Benz. I got this one from a 83 Mercedes 300D. Thanks for the question! And thanks for watching!
keith w I caught this while I was editing. Editing video of your self talking is brutal lol you notice all the mistakes you make in your explanations. Thanks for watching!
I like this guy. I like what he’s brought to the Channel I hope he sticks around.
It's amazing watching you transform raw sheet metal into those parts. GR8 work.
I love this project. I like watching episodes by notification; but there's one thing I HAVE to mention and that is the volume of that music.

Theo Lupu thanks for compliment! It's alot of extra work to film and edit this stuff, so I'm glad to hear it when people are enjoying the videos!
Seeing these old fsj jeeps makes me want one. Love this build.
if you start burning oil thru the turbo id say that oil drain restriction would be the issue . if not then its good to go .. also should look for a brass oil plug because of the whole dissimilar metals thing with aluminum .. nice build so far
Rev Head the brass plug is a great suggestion, this first oil change will be short lived. When I change the oil I'll go to a brass plug. Thanks bro!
Love this build!
onlychevys Williams Thanks! It's been fun for me too!
not a huge jeep fan but i love when people give new life to a classic 4x4 or a true jeep like yours especially with a unique power plant
You all do great work, this guy is a great addition!
Dylan Honkala Thanks!
so far, the best videos of bleepinjeep
Super cool build! Giving me some confidence to Fab my own parts! Thanks for making the videos!
Zachary I'm glad you're enjoying them! Start fabricating your own stuff now! We all started somewhere and you just keep getting better with all of the of experience you give yourself. I still learn things every time I fabricate! Thanks for watching brother!
Loving this build. Awesome job!
das hasguns thank you!
Great project, excited to see the rest.
Looking good! Thanks for the video!
Enjoying the fab stuff!
Great video,very interesting to follow along. Can't wait to see more
The closer to done this gets, the more excited I get. :)
Great project - very cool skills you have too 👍
Like Red Green says "If they can't find you handsome, at least they can find you handy." Who cares if it's beautiful, it works!
Matthew Herrmann couldn't have said it better myself!
Great video. I met Matt today at the off-road expo. Y’all all seem like good dudes to ride with. Love the Bleepin Jeep videos. Keep it up.
The music on this video was awesome!
Oh, and so was that cool custom oil pan. Very neat idea and great execution.
Andrew Taylor thank you! Finally a comment in which someone likes the music LOL
Ha good project. If i ever have to cut a oil pan and if there is room , i make sure i make it larger . the more oil the cooler the engine.
Cool project
Sportxlh 1 thank you!

Making me want to swap a diesel in my 88 oj bronco sweet build
matt davis do it! A 12 valve cummins would be sweet in that bronco!
i have this diesel in my 57 willys pickup. pretty fun little engine
Mason Lantz sounds like a sweet truck!
I have a willys pickup or wagon engine in my CJ2a. Maybe it's yours 😂
@@sithinstructor haha aaron holdaway with homers garage in Colorado did the swap not sure what they did with the engine so maybe lol
@@masonbaylorbears Whoa, I'm in Colorado too 😂
Better ground is what you created.

And volume helps with heat and for a trail/rock climber I'd think your never want to uncover your oil pick up....
With him moving the oil filter location and everything that will add back some capacity.
If capacity is a problem he can add more in the cooling system ie an extra filter that would add extra filtration as well.
That clutch pivot thing is called a Z bar. Used to be used on a lot of old Mopar’s.

Ok Nate what did I miss? How did you attach the engine and trans? Did you make an adapter or buy one?
Thats what i love to know. My plan is to make this work on my little ford ranger but use the Mercedes's transmission
Nice work.
Couple questions, why aluminium on the oil pan? Just what you had?

Love your videos! How about a video about your fab equipment you use, mig welder, plasma cutter grinders Etc???
Mike Suminski that's a good idea! I'll have to plan to do that one sometime in the near future!
interested in the sanding attachment you had on in this video never used on hows it compare to flap disks?
That's cool! I wonder if I could find one of those Spool Guns for my MIG.
Vinny Gullotta they make them for a whole bunch of different machines now! You might have to email the manufacturer of your welder and see what they have. Definitely a handy tool to have around the shop!
Awesome love it good job

enginesnstuf I used Teflon tape, thanks for the question!
this is cool

Nate answers question right after a video is posted so you might try asking this again when he uploads a new video!
Run some good old Shaeffers oil and hopefully it don’t blow because of the reduced oil capacity.
Is there any chance that the engine might have a little bit of oil starvation or do you think the capacity is enough
David Woodbury I'm not worried about oil starvation in this build for a couple of reasons.

it work like cooler too?
You has a puppy 😍😍😍😍😍!!!! Nice vid man! Also I'm just curious, what was that stuff you poured on the spilled oil?
Why alloy and not stainless? Awesome vid mate (Y)
Awesome swap. Let me have the other J-10 to put a 12 valve Cummings in.
Black Hawk International Security I haven't figured out what I'm going to do with the other J10 yet, but a 12 valve swap is definitely crossed my mind!
Let me help you out with that decision; let me have it. ;-))
What’s the possibility u can build me one of those pans I need on I have a OM617 swapped jeep Comanche and the person before me hacked up the oil pan to clear the drop pitman arm
hunk of 5 ply & tek screws,cheaper that alloy,more stable.
Did you run your jeep into that jeep?
Nice video. Is the green jeep there to pull parts from?
Don’t heart my comment and not answer wtf
Just my 2 cents but wondering how much oil volume you lost and is that going to be an issue when the motor is primed and running?
Brian Cain I've had a few questions about this and I probably should have said something about it in the video. I'm not concerned about it for a couple of reasons. First being I don't believe I will lose that much oil volume when it's all said and done.

Thanks for the comment!
Nate Bleepinjeep thanks for the reply. That is an awesome build you have!
Thanks! I can't wait to fire it up!
Just my 2 cents. I would of cut several 1x6 inch pieces of aluminum and weld it under oil pan it acts like a oil cooler
The music is ruining your vids I'm very interested in the build but the last video was almost unwatchable.
Sweeeet
It always tickles me to see these guys using a claw hammer in the mech shop.
Love the musick cool build. What engine ?
Alan Wheelock om617a. It's a 5-cylinder turbo diesel used in the late 70s and 80s from Mercedes-Benz. I got this one from a 83 Mercedes 300D. Thanks for the question! And thanks for watching!
i think i would of notched the original pan,
use a brass plug a regular iron plug will corrode and seize in your pan. makes for a shitty oil change lol
I stop watching after oil spill
why
transfer punch :P
keith w I caught this while I was editing. Editing video of your self talking is brutal lol you notice all the mistakes you make in your explanations. Thanks for watching!
man i just giving you a hard time you do great vids and a welcome to the channel.. wish tyler would do more i enjoy his also
Lol I know you were just giving me a hard time brother! I should have made that more clear my response. I'm glad your enjoying the videos!
Just because you Can put in the music, doesn't mean you should.
am I the only one thinking this is a super tiny oil pan for an engine, let alone a diesel, though, the factory one was tiny as well..
everything was fine until you picked up the damn claw hammer
And it looks like you lost a quart of capacity
Jeebus way too much kitty litter
Water test the pan dummy!!!
Iron and aluminum = dont do it.
