Isn't this awesome? two different worlds coming together, land and water :) And man, did Stu get some GOOD answers out of Scott today! I don't think I've ever seen Scott straight up do a Q and A on Detroit's like that. This video is really gonna help some people with their own questions.
Thanks for coming out and visiting! It was a fun day once you and your dad showed up ;) i finished that job and am at the next. My bus is parked 15’ from the Mississippi River.
I can’t thank you enough mate! I’m 13 and I had little knowledge of fixing outbourd engines and I got a Yamaha 15hp that had sat for 4 years in a shed. It hadn’t been winterised. I learned to do a full service on it from your vids and it started 2nd pull. Thanks for you vids you have help me a lot.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Years ago a friend had a former US Navy boat that had a 671 GMC in it. At the time he was in the Naval Reserve and he hunted around at the local naval base and found a manual. The manual was a US Navy Manual for 671 GMC engines. This was a manual produced for the crewman having to maintain and rebuild the engines. It was and still is the best manual I have ever read. It told you how to do things, what to look for, why and how the engine worked. Probably produced in the 1940s and out of print but someone might have one laying around. Well worth searching for!
What a treat! My two favorite channels in all of you tube. Both hosts are both personable and very good at explaining. They share their knowledge with a real understandable level of wording and illustration. Thanks, guys, for all your efforts on our behalf and especially for this very educational segment. Hope to see you together in Australis!
@@BusGreaseMonkey - Hey Scott! So, which would you most compare yourself to - George Jetson or Fred Flintstone? It was great to see the channel collaboration with you and Stu - looks like we might see more of it sometime, _down-under!_ Thanks for introducing me to @Dangar Marine! Cheers-
This was the best class I've attended since Basic Electronics School. There is so much information going thru the air when one person is talking to another person and you sit back and attempt to absorb it all. Super Job!!! Both you guys are terrific!
A story about a blower shaft: Back in the 90's I worked mechanicing on trucks but also helped a friend drive a few spring break bus tours...Going across I10 in Florida with a'72 Eagle, 8-71 the blower shaft let go...we pulled up the back floor and got the shaft out, the spline teeth were sheared off but there was a little bit left on the end. We had no other shaft so I put a dime in behind it to get the remaining spline teeth to engage the blower spline. It ran all the way back to Canada.
Stu, that advice re the electric lift pump on the Detroit was spot on. I fitted one to my 1946 Cat D4 dozer and it was the best thing I have ever done/ I converted the dozer from Pilot (donkey/pony) start to electric start. That meant I would have been trying to start the old girl on no fuel pressure. With the electric lift pump I have working fuel pressure before I start cranking the engine. Brilliant. I might tell you that poor 73 year old dozer has to earn its keep here, so it is no hobby toy. I might also say that the old dozer and I were born in the same year.
I subscribe to both channels just like others have mentioned. I could watch these two together all day. Stu is powering his steel trawler with a 4-71 Detroit. This is like watching two magicians discussing their trucks. Detroits don't leak. They just mark their territory.
Awesome you are getting to meet all my fav channels. I had a runaway in an old oyster boat my buddy threw an old pillow in the blower. Same thing pillow dust everywhere. Lol
Wow, that's funny.. You're introducing Scott to _your_ viewers, and this video was recommended to me because I'm subbed to _Scott's_ channel. It's a two-way benefit. One of the few times the Google / TH-cam algorithm works in a _positive_ way.
I install gas meters in the UK. When we replace the regulator and meter we always use new seals. First thing you've gotta do is check that you've got the old washer completely off, or the new seal will never seat properly. It may seal for long enough to hold on your tightness test but not for any real length of time. Then you're in the shit.
Stu, big fan! I was born and raised in central Missouri! Welcome to the mid-west. Enjoy the hospitality, it's second only to your home country down under. Glad you were able to visit, and enjoy the rest of your trip!
Stew, if you don’t have a aairbox shut off then you need a home made one. Something like a board with a piece of carpet glued on so you can seal off that’s air intake, of course making sure that you can get to a open air intake. This is not for just for new start it’s for always in case you have a governor failure or a stuck injector as mentioned. If you are going to set up the engine yourself you really need to get a hand held rev-counter and a tune up tool kit so you have the go-no go feeler gauges and other special tools that are used to set gaps like governor gap for example. I ran a fleet of 6 Terrex twin engine scrappers in the 70,s in Africa and we fixed every thing in the “bush” they had 6-71 engines With Allison outdo shift boxes. Loved those engines, hated the transmissions,
Glad to see two of my favorite channels get together,a meeting of the minds in a world that needs to learn to get old stuff going and use what we have from the past!!!
I was a firefighter for 30 years. The Detroit diesels on our apparatus has an engine kill switch in the cab in case of a runaway. A cable went to a spring loaded plate that closed cutting off the air. To restart it you had to open it manually.
I dont work on diesels but ive heard most(maybe all) of the new ones have those in them(Over the road trucks at least). Definitely something that is very useful
its great to see you two guys together, you tube is a good thing to enable this to happen, you are both doing a great job to help people with their passions.
What I was in the Army I had several of our 6V 53 runaway I have used fire extinguishers it sucked holes through clipboards we threw engine manuals into the blower we soak ground hop them we have no way to shut them down we used to take the fuel lines out of the out of the fuel can an engine with just start sucking oil up through the pan and run off the oil
That was such a beautiful and informative interaction.... you mericans are ok after all. :) Stu, the look on your face...priceless, and Scott, your generosity with the info is huge. Thanks gents, I learnt more in the last 30 minutes than any other source. Very grateful to you both. Of-course I subscribed to Scott's channel!
This is pure TH-cam gold- All I need is for Warren from Western Truck, Abom79, Bad Obsession, Jonathon W, Keith Rucker and Mustie1 to arrive and I'm in heaven.
It is great to see two motorheads talking shop. The truth is having contacts with extensive real-world experience and knowledge beats a maintenance manual every day of the week. This type of networking is priceless.
What a great bloke Scott is..been watching him for about 5 months and I just knew you two would get on. I bet you have a lot more confidence with the green demon after spending time with the master, Really enjoyed the vid mate !
Yes blocking the air intake ( with a board ) or using co2 fire extinguisher will work to take the oxygen out of a run away engine . I think Stu has a mig welder ( or Tig ) how about dual purposing his welding gas bottle as the source of the suffocating gas . Could be plumbed in to the intake like a nitros system on a performance car. Have seen the results of a dry powder fire extinguisher used on a truck . Shot in to the external hood air intake the paper element filter became blocked , engine suffer no permanent damage .
I've been a big fan and subscriber of Scott''s TH-cam for a while now, I'm an Aussie and I like both your's and Scott's Chanels. Good to see you and Scott mixing it up mate.
Yep, it's true, the goal is to keep your diesel engine slightly above sea level. If the engine becomes below sea level, that's a sign that something might have gone seriously wrong with the boat. If the engine becomes many feet above sea level, that's much worse. Check for any indications of a very large explosion.
The rectangular box bolted to the blower inlet is an air silencer. They have insulation in them to help quiet down the noise of the blower rotors. We would always replace them at rebuild time. Also you definitely want to use a sealer between the blower housing and the end plates. I used Loctite anaerobic sealant p/n 51813 but I have also used aviation Permatex. If you don’t use a sealer you will have an oil leak from the large oil drain holes that are in the end plate (approximately 5/8” - 3/4” or 16mm- 19mm) where the meet the the blower housing. I also put liquidTeflon thread sealant on all the bolts that are not into blind holes as well as the copper washers, and dressed all the gaskets with the anaerobic sealant on one side and glued the other side to the block or larger part. We Dynomometer tested our engines and used dye and a black light to check for leaks.
There is so many things I could tell you about building the blower but mainly make sure you stamp mark all the parts as you disassemble them and be sure to wire the shims behind the gears to the gears for reassembly. (Usually you can use the same shims to get the proper “C” and “CC” clearance.) We used the turbo blower seals that are double lip Teflon but there is a special tool to install the seals and sleeves to the correct depth. Just make sure you follow the manual closely in regards to the omitted serrations and clearances of the rotors and housing. I wish I could afford to go down there and help you with your project.
It's great you hooked up with Scott....He definitely knows the Detroits' well. I think you would make a great pair getting the Detroit back into the trawler.
Love the banter you could just so easily relate to the stories told. This is just what makes life so interesting and the future with these guys channels look awesome. Aloominumnum 😂😉👍👍
@@TheComingGlory Just don't do what one of my idiot customers did when shutting down an accidentally paralleled generator, thus motorizing the generator while trying to shut down the engine. The dingdong used a dry chem extinguisher, and the motorized generator just kept right on spinning the engine!!!!
Years ago read a story a Navy mechanic was telling. Detroit ran away he sprayed a CO2 extinguisher into the intake. The cylinder head blew off and passed his head hitting the hull. Another instructor at a mechanic school had on run away and he placed a clip board on the blower opening, no intake. The clip board collapsed and got sucked into the blower. Some blower intake gaskets have screen on them.
Great minds coming together - each with experience, talent and skill, plus a generous dose of intelligence. So impressive compared to many other TH-cam channels. Even though they are both specialists in their own areas, you could just feel the energy between them. Great video... 😁👍
Worked for a guy who had several semi tractors. He hated Detroit Diesels. Said he was going to put a stick of dynamite in the injector holes on the last one he had to pull out and send a picture to Detroit Diesel. He did like Cummins and Caterpillar. I drove a Ford box truck with a Caterpillar that had 700K miles on it. Much more than anyone expected it to last.
always cool to see two youtubers you follow closely come together! I don't want to take credit for the meeting, but I told you on your detroit video this is the guy you needed to talk to! Now lets see Scott go to australia and put your detroit back together! ;) ;) Enjoy your time in the states Stu! We are so glad to have you here!
Stu - After watching this video I quickly subscribed to Bus Grease Monkey and binge watched just about all of his videos. I'm absolutely hooked on these old Detroit Diesel engines! I can't wait till you get your 471 back from the machine shop and get it back together. So looking forward to hearing you fire it off. Hoping that is soon!
i have watched many of scotts videos. the man as im sure you know totally knows his stuff. i just subscribed to your channel and i enjoy them very much. keep on keeping on.
Cool info i drive a big Double Decker Bus 15ltr V8 93 series and recently clocked the Million ks Right at the top of Mt Ouzly ! The old beast probably done a few laps on the dial. Even took a quick photo and announce on mic to the 70 passengers!
You guys really seemed to have a great time and thanks to your channel I've started watching Scott's. He truly loves what he does and is great at it. Also you nailed driving that thing, I've driven trucks for years but had trouble driving a bus similar to his.
G'Day Stu,,some nice info on this Film,Mate,Scott seems to know a bit about it,,(Very Good He was,),Some good questions as well, Nice Job,Both of you,, Thanks
Thank you guys… great video like Always and I'm following you both for a long time and I appreciate every moments… Sorry for my English my first language is french so I do my best.. Don't stop guys It's superb…..
I didn't get a good vibe when he went to see the Acorn to Arabella guys. Almost like they seemed annoyed while he was there. Somehow I knew him and Scott would get along. Just two wrenchers talking like old friends. I hope Scott goes visits him and helps fire up his trawler. Also, thank you Stu! You have helped me so much with your Johnson 140 build. I bought one a year ago and I can't tell you how much I've learned from your videos, sir.
A good one Stu, Scott is a great bloke. With a bit of driving practice you'll be able to step up to a 13 or 18 speed. It is good to see the connection between you and Scott. Safe travels Keep smiling mate JD
@@DangarMarine You are very welcome my friend! I feel like you really got Scott to consolidate a ton of knowledge into one video, this is really gonna help some people down the road! That's like 20 of scotts videos rolled all into one :) Hope you enjoy your time in the states, and as always thank you for the videos! Can't wait to see the next!
I have had a jimmy run with a broken liner , just didn't have the power . But I laugh when they say the book . Heck we had 7 of the 3 inch thick buggers . Of course they covered from the 53 to the 71 . We found most of the maintenance was little things that if not caught would not cause the engine to break although had many cases of the racks jamming and they wowee away we run . And as stated they were Green Leakers .
Excellent video Stu! And I did see you drive Scott's 'Land Yacht'" A great drive, and you impressed Scott too, with your 'no graunch' gear-changes! :-) Well done! :-)
He's 100 percent right about those old two-stroke Detroit being oil leakers. I used to work for a company Roadway Package System years ago in the early 1990s before FedEx bought them out. We had a 1978 White Road Boss tractor that had a 318 Detriot motor. I drove it for about a year and I swear the EPA could've thrown me in jail for illegal dumping as much oil as that motor leaked. I did love that it had a straight pipe single exhaust system on it though, it screamed when going thru the gears if you put your foot in it with a load. Everyone knew you were coming from blocks away.
Good to hear to someone who really know his stuff and great to see you catching up with other TH-camrs. Definitely carry a spare starter, I have changed several at sea, alternators are no so much of a problem as once the engine is running it will get you home even if there is no charge, I did have a pulley shear off an alternator which stuffed us as it also provided tension to the raw water pump but that was once in 40+ years at sea. You are only going to get displacement speed out of your trawler, probably 7.5 knots so adding a turbo won't alter that.
Stu, if you had that clip typeset , with appropriate diagrams/illustrations; you are looking at an about 80pp operators manual in one arvo! What a man, and a gentle caring man too. Hence the devoted wife. She is a brick.
Awesome video stu. Looking forward to you meeting Doug & Betsy aka sv seeker. What a truly amazing man with a wealth of knowledge and skill. Use a pyrex glass laboratory tumbler as a catch can so you can see and measure oil loss
I’ve been a subscriber to both channels for awhile, never thought I’d see you hang out with Scott! It’s like the Jetsons meeting the Flintstones.
Isn't this awesome? two different worlds coming together, land and water :) And man, did Stu get some GOOD answers out of Scott today! I don't think I've ever seen Scott straight up do a Q and A on Detroit's like that. This video is really gonna help some people with their own questions.

Hearing Stu's forced "Aluminum" was the funniest thing I heard all day. Love it!
The Radio Pleasure Palace You have to remember there are two spellings of “aluminum” or “aluminium” and how you spell it changes how you pronounce it.
Saying Aluminum and switching to Aluminium is as easy as switching from left hand drive to right hand drive :)
@@gullreefclub True. But I'm not changing the way I pronounce it wherever I go, for anyone!
@@jbuckley2546 I propose a new replacement word..."amalgamam".
@@N6MKC how about "aluminium"? chuckle...this banter can go on for ever!
i really really really enjoy watching people who obviously know what they're talking about, even if a lot of it is going over my head.
I agree. I found myself laughing with them all the way through and I'm not a mechanic.
He clearly loves them engines. It's mad what humans get obsessed with. I love the species for that....

Now lets see Scott go to australia and put your detroit back together! ;) ;) Enjoy your time in the states Stu! We are so glad to have you here!
If you put oil mat pad in your collection pan it will separate the oil from the coolant for diagnosis.
Good thinking Steve!
That was a great video with you and Scott talking about Detroit Diesels, buses and boats!
Pure gold! This guy knows what he is talking about. (at beginning, wasn't so sure.)
Stu - After watching this video I quickly subscribed to Bus Grease Monkey and binge watched just about all of his videos. I'm absolutely hooked on these old Detroit Diesel engines! I can't wait till you get your 471 back from the machine shop and get it back together. So looking forward to hearing you fire it off. Hoping that is soon!
i have watched many of scotts videos. the man as im sure you know totally knows his stuff. i just subscribed to your channel and i enjoy them very much. keep on keeping on.
Thanks William!
Two guys i love to watch on you tube. Bonus!!
Two Brothers from different mothers, Great Stu, Scott and his wife seem like great people, Jeff in LA USA
It was great to hang out with them both.
Really good vid. Highly dense with knowledge and information. Excellent interview. The sound of the engine in the cab is so good.
Cool info i drive a big Double Decker Bus 15ltr V8 93 series and recently clocked the Million ks Right at the top of Mt Ouzly ! The old beast probably done a few laps on the dial. Even took a quick photo and announce on mic to the 70 passengers!
That's cool sharing it with the passengers. :)
Awesome to see two of my TH-camrs on one video !
Love to see two you tubers get to gether and talk. Watch both of you. Great video. Both of you keep going.👍👍👍
One of the first workarounds I ever learnt- catch cans !
Great looking Bus.Thanks for the manual column info :)
Scott needs to come over for Stu's motor install. I'm sure viewers of both channels would help fund it.
We should try to make it happen. :)
@@DangarMarine how do I like this more than once?!
I hope hes worng about anything Detroit leaking, i just got the logo on my arm lol. Awesome video im glad you guys got to meet up.
LOL
Well it did leak when you first got it lol
It wont leak if you drain the oil out of it
You guys really seemed to have a great time and thanks to your channel I've started watching Scott's. He truly loves what he does and is great at it. Also you nailed driving that thing, I've driven trucks for years but had trouble driving a bus similar to his.
G'Day Stu,,some nice info on this Film,Mate,Scott seems to know a bit about it,,(Very Good He was,),Some good questions as well,
Nice Job,Both of you,,
Thanks
hope you're having a great time in the US. Too bad I can't make it to Pasadena. Thanks to Scott for all the help.
Thanks Rudy, yes, having lots of fun. :)
Two of my favorites together
Thank you guys… great video like Always and I'm following you both for a long time and I appreciate every moments… Sorry for my English my first language is french so I do my best.. Don't stop guys It's superb…..
Thanks Fernand, glad you liked it. :)
I didn't get a good vibe when he went to see the Acorn to Arabella guys. Almost like they seemed annoyed while he was there. Somehow I knew him and Scott would get along. Just two wrenchers talking like old friends. I hope Scott goes visits him and helps fire up his trawler. Also, thank you Stu! You have helped me so much with your Johnson 140 build. I bought one a year ago and I can't tell you how much I've learned from your videos, sir.
This was lovely. Best part of TH-cam.
Thanks Cory!
A good one Stu, Scott is a great bloke. With a bit of driving practice you'll be able to step up to a 13 or 18 speed. It is good to see the connection between you and Scott.
Safe travels
Keep smiling mate
JD
Thanks John, :)
Injector protrusion...............wow, you learn something every day.
Atta boy Stu. You did a good job driving the bus. I actually had watched it first on Scott's channel.
Two of my favorite channels.
Many years ago a bloke changed his 2 valve head on his old UD3 to a 4 valve head ,, it gave him an extra 20 HP,
Two people joined/separated by a common language! LOL Great video. Be great to see Scott visit you in Oz to get your diesel running!
I would be great to have him over!
Such great learning. Thanks! Fun to see the laughs.
Great seeing a couple of my entertaining channels having gotten together for a session.
Hey Stu, You asked some REALLY good questions today :) what a most excellent video!
Thanks mate!
@@DangarMarine You are very welcome my friend! I feel like you really got Scott to consolidate a ton of knowledge into one video, this is really gonna help some people down the road! That's like 20 of scotts videos rolled all into one :) Hope you enjoy your time in the states, and as always thank you for the videos! Can't wait to see the next!
I have had a jimmy run with a broken liner , just didn't have the power . But I laugh when they say the book . Heck we had 7 of the 3 inch thick buggers . Of course they covered from the 53 to the 71 . We found most of the maintenance was little things that if not caught would not cause the engine to break although had many cases of the racks jamming and they wowee away we run . And as stated they were Green Leakers .
This is great i follow both of these channels. A lot of good information given there.
I would never go back to that shop that did that shoddy work!!!!!!
Excellent video Stu! And I did see you drive Scott's 'Land Yacht'" A great drive, and you impressed Scott too, with your 'no graunch' gear-changes! :-)
Well done! :-)
I'm glad you're having a great time
Great video,love seeing you guys work together!!!
you shifted that spicer like a pro,i was impressed,gotta find ya a greyhound hat tho,was cool
What a fun and entertaining video! Two happy gear heads .
He's 100 percent right about those old two-stroke Detroit being oil leakers. I used to work for a company Roadway Package System years ago in the early 1990s before FedEx bought them out. We had a 1978 White Road Boss tractor that had a 318 Detriot motor. I drove it for about a year and I swear the EPA could've thrown me in jail for illegal dumping as much oil as that motor leaked. I did love that it had a straight pipe single exhaust system on it though, it screamed when going thru the gears if you put your foot in it with a load. Everyone knew you were coming from blocks away.
Good to hear to someone who really know his stuff and great to see you catching up with other TH-camrs. Definitely carry a spare starter, I have changed several at sea, alternators are no so much of a problem as once the engine is running it will get you home even if there is no charge, I did have a pulley shear off an alternator which stuffed us as it also provided tension to the raw water pump but that was once in 40+ years at sea. You are only going to get displacement speed out of your trawler, probably 7.5 knots so adding a turbo won't alter that.
Yes, I'll definitely find a spare when I can. Also agree about adding more power. I will only end up pushing water and burning more fuel.
Stu, if you had that clip typeset , with appropriate diagrams/illustrations; you are looking at an about 80pp operators manual in one arvo! What a man, and a gentle caring man too. Hence the devoted wife. She is a brick.
Fascinating stuff - thanks. It was quite a surprise to see you pop up on BGM's channel! Those busses seem way more complicated than I expected.
Awesome and very informative video. I'm not a diesel guy but I learned a few tricks. Great vid. Thank you and we'll see ya in the next one.
Awesome video stu. Looking forward to you meeting Doug & Betsy aka sv seeker.
What a truly amazing man with a wealth of knowledge and skill.
Use a pyrex glass laboratory tumbler as a catch can so you can see and measure oil loss
