Teach these young men properly and they will never be out of a job.
You've got a winner there with Jonathan. He's patient, strong and smart. He's learning skills from you beyond mechanics including how to be a great teacher, businessman and leader.
Scott, you and Jonathan are doing an excellent job with this rebuild. Love that you're mentoring Jonathan with the nuances of engine reassembly, etc. Also love your improvised remedies such as the lopped off head bolts that you use to ensure proper alignment of the cylinder heads as you're carefully lowering them into place. Too many careless mechanics botch up jobs like this by dislodging a head gasket, shims and/or o-rings. I'm convinced that this is a chief cause of coolant-in-oil seepage on prior rebuilds. Kudos to you for doing such a great job in tutoring and mentoring Jonathan. He's a patient young man.
Solid, by-the-book, quality work! One shop tool you may wish to consider is a bead blast cabinet. Such a time saver for castings, housings and perfect results. We have owned a Zero Blast for many years and are addicted to it!
Man I'm one of your oldest viewers I've been watching your show now Scott probably 12 years or more I would say thank you very much for all the groovy stuff I'm smart enough on buses now I can build one in my sleep LOL not keep up the great work guys
Scott, you are a true craftsman! That engine now looks new and I'm betting it runs like new! Congrats!
ive been a patreon memeber since 2021..if my 8V92 EVER needs a rebuild im coming to you scott!!!! absolutely amazingggggg
This bus was Hungry 😋 definitely ate up the clock 😅☮️
Great job, and beautiful engine gentlemen. I look forward to hearing it running.
The overall improvement in driveability must be amazing after all of this!
Great video and I learned something, I never would have thought of lock washers allowing water to travel into bolts/fasteners. That is good to know. I love seeing anti seize and I wish more people and factories used it.
That rebuild is a thing of beauty
Love watching and listening to your narrative, Scott. Thanks!
I rebuild those heads all day long. Occasionally a 53. Today I started my first 71., Out shop specializes in Detroit Diesels.
Excellent video!
The 'ol Silver 92 !
You,re pretty damn skilled with these detroits, love the videos man, great job, as always. Thanx Scott and jon, and everyone else who makes it possible ✌️❤️😁.
Kudos
Yes, and the proces using the engine hoist and those guide pins was very nice and controlled. No scratches, no dings.👍
Thank you Scott for being an honest person.
An induction heater might prove useful on those ferrous bolts through alloy housings.
We have one the oxy acetylene is better
Always great content
Love your work Scott..
Nice work 👍
Great work! Very impressive.
Nice work
Very good video!!!
Nice job
Waiting to hear it start 👍

Good work on a big project. I am a bit concerned with the lack of "meat" on the outside of the bolt hole in the intake elbow when the hole was redrilled. I can see that cracking in short order.
Nice
Starting to look like it is supposed to,,,good,,,,,
8V92TASMRRRR 😄
I install studs where possible to eliminate seized bolts. Installing Time-sert thread repair inserts in aluminum housings also helps eliminate seized fasteners.
It wouldn’t help there the thermostat housing seize on the shanks. The anti seize and flat washers will do the trick
Saw an interesting video from Gale Banks on using studs on a Diesel engine. He says do not use them because bolts have a tiny bit of give that let's them take the strain. When studs are used they do not have that give so the threads in the block do leading to them pulling out. So studs do have a place to use and places to not use them.
Am I correct assuming the tang s on the main rod end bearing go toward the center of the motor?
Have you thought of getting one of those laser parts cleaners? They are amazing and quick for burning paint, rust or whatever off of steel, aluminum or cast iron parts. If you haven’t seen one do a search on KZhead. I’d love to have one but it’s to much for the amount of dIY stuff I fix, you guys on the other hand woukd really benefit from getting one and they aren’t that expensive. As usual great video, love you guys!
They are not cheap. I don’t make the kind of KZhead money people think i make ;)
Scott, I was wondering why you don’t use the Quinn Digital Torque adapters that you got from HF, to tighten the fasteners with? Did they break or do you not trust them over the click type?
The icon click is easier and better for the task but if you don’t have the expensive one the digital one will do great
👍👍👍
Hey Scott, what do you do with all that scrap metal you acquire?
scott, are the detroits as suceptible to cavitation as other diesels with wet liners? every time i see you open up one of these with either improper coolant, or no coolant at all, that the first thing i think of is how bad are the outside of the liners. great video!
Yes
Would you mind expanding on your issues with the oil feed line. I have a 6V92 and this line (DD #8923538) seems to be in stock at the usual places for around US$60 plus shipping. Is the 8V a different part number or was there something else involved. Thanks.
We had the ends we were just trying to order the aeroquip hose for it. The wrong diameter showed up 2x The supplier then checked their inventory and said they didn’t have the correct hose.
I don't want nothing leaking in my head.lol
I got stuff leaking out of my head today. 🤒
Do you all work on bluebird skoolies? (Cummins)
Not really. General maintenance and chassis stuff only. Not to familiar with them and the Cummins we don’t get into very deep beyond oil changes. Not our specialty
@@BusGreaseMonkey understood, thank you!
Do you ever recondition the rods?
We replace them if needed. This engine only has under 100k miles. Like new parts
Above the exhaust port there is a plate held on by two bolts. What’s that for?
Different styles of cooling manifolds mount on those. There is coolant under them.

@@BusGreaseMonkey that answers my question. Thank you very much!
Why SO MUCH never seize? The extra does not do anything.... or does it?

It does in this application (where a long shank bolt goes through a close fitting bolt hole). I have seen many times where the long unthreaded shank of the bolt became seized in the bolt bore because anti-seize compound (or grease) was not used.
Turn the oxygen off first...lol

I'm looking for diesel ⛽️ in Detroit..
Too much new shiny bits, i hope you saved all the gunk to throw back over the motor.
OOohhhh...you mention that inner seal on the water pump keeps oil out?! Can that be changed with the pump on the engine? I have had a bit of oil getting in my coolant. Previously changed out the outer water pump seal as coolant was leaking out the weep hole, wonder if that inner seal is where I'm getting oil in the water?
yeahhhhh...thinkin I need to pulll off my water pump...6v71...
Oil cooler - Water pump would leak oil out the weep hole
