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.
hahahahahahaha
cambo1200 I actually seem to remember an episode from when I was much much younger where that did happen. Culture clash.

We should start a go fund me page for Scott & Kelly to go to Australia to help Stu assemble his Detroit Diesel.
Or a specific patreon page.
We would go for sure. ;)
@@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-
I really should set that up!
@@DangarMarine Set it up on Scott's channel as well bigger audience base
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.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I could listen to Scott all day,his knowledge on Detroit's is incredible.
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!
Thanks Thomas, glad you enjoyed. :)
Hello Stu and Scott, glad to see that you all got together, great video and good driving.
JAM
It's always great to listen to a genuine expert. Thanks for the video.
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
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.
So glad you got to talk with him. Guy has an awesome channel and knows those detroit diesels.
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.
Thanks Mike, glad you enjoyed it. :)
Brilliant, really enjoyed that, such enthusiasm for the old girls, and really happy in his work, I'd say he's forgotten more than we'll ever know!
Have no need to know all this, but fascinating the same. You converse well with people.
Scott is such an amazing mechanic and gentleman. The amount of knowledge he carries is simply awesome. GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS 😇🔧🚢⚓🚍🐒
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,
Fortunately a friend back home has messaged me to say he has a shutoff I can have to install so that will be going on for sure.
Good video, that guy is an old school mechanic that knows his stuff. I think that Detroit will serve your trawler well.
Thanks mate, I think the Detroit will be a great engine for this trawler.
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, 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!
Thanks Phillip, having a great time in the mid-west. :)
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.
Thanks mate!
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 !
Hey Mark, he certainly is. I do feel more confident now about turning that key for the first time knowing everything is right to go.
Great video, I own several 53 series Detroit’s and it’s great to listen to someone explain how a Detroit works.
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!
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 😂😉👍👍
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
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.
Pure gold! This guy knows what he is talking about. (at beginning, wasn't so sure.)
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... 😁👍
Thanks Gilbert, I really enjoyed hanging out with Scott.
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.
Two guys i love to watch on you tube. Bonus!!
I'm glad you too found each other..
I did a lot of double clutching.
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.
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. :)
Love to see two you tubers get to gether and talk. Watch both of you. Great video. Both of you keep going.👍👍👍
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!
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, :)
That was a great video with you and Scott talking about Detroit Diesels, buses and boats!
you shifted that spicer like a pro,i was impressed,gotta find ya a greyhound hat tho,was cool
Atta boy Stu. You did a good job driving the bus. I actually had watched it first on Scott's channel.
The reason the manuals are so simple is because the Navy used millions of them.
larry cherrington We had to stick to the manuals, just like they were the UCMJ-just like Christians stick to their Bible. Nothing wrong with following instructions! Manuals help prevent expensive mistakes.
Awesome video.as a truck driver I’ve always liked the Detroit diesel motors.
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.
I'm glad you're having a great time
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.
Great looking Bus.Thanks for the manual column info :)
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. :)
One of the first workarounds I ever learnt- catch cans !
Hi, Looking at both your channels and always looking forward to new videos, can I say it better than that, Thanks to both of you for taking us along.
This was lovely. Best part of TH-cam.
Thanks Cory!
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
Really good vid. Highly dense with knowledge and information. Excellent interview. The sound of the engine in the cab is so good.
If you put oil mat pad in your collection pan it will separate the oil from the coolant for diagnosis.
Good thinking Steve!
Two of my favorite channels.
Finally went ahead and got that squirrel hat you've been wanting. Nice!
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!
Also if a lot of oil comes out of the air box drain tubes. It also indicates worn rings
Nice collaboration.. cool to see two different content type channels coming together
Thanks mate.
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! :-)
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.
Great video,love seeing you guys work together!!!
Squirrel? I thought you had the obligatory comb over. 🤣👍👍
LOL. I had forgotten about that. :D
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!
Great Vid ! I'm Bus Monkey obsessed ! So much good two stroke info for a bus newbie like myself in this video. I'll be owning a 8v71T in two weeks and I'm blaming Scott .
Good luck with the new engine!
Wow Scott is the Man! I bet you wonder about your decision to rebuild rather that replace the trawler engine . I’m so glad for us you decided to rebuild! Maybe you engine liners were over bored because they only had certain oversize liners available? But it does sound like this engine had a hard life BEFORE it was installed in the trawler! Great video cheers Warren
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. :)
I drove those dinosaurs back in the day sorta but love those old highway busses
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.
Scott is the Detroit Diesel whisperer.
dangar stu in buffalo. alright! welcome to Nueva York !
been a long time since I saw someone double clutching. had to do it on my bus.
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.
I worked with many different style of Detroit's in the Merchant Marine. And he's right, they leak. You just add more oil Keep On Keepin On.
Getting ready to drop that power plant in the boat. Can’t wait to see that.
I can't wait either!
Awesome video as always Stuart, very informative!
Looking forward to future videos.
We must all watch the same TH-cam channels!! :-)
was thinking the same thing...Great, isn't it?
I find it hilarious to see these two together.
Joanne Hart so if I say Levi the dog then you know what channel I’m talking about! ;)
@@Soupy1406 I think you've stumped me on that one... I know Levi the filmmaker. :-)
Levi is the jobsite supervisor on the Andrew Camarata channel
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 .
I suggested to Scott to hook up with you and Vice Versa, and here you are. I would love to see Scotty in OZ, we have a great bus scene over here.
Good show Stu!
I got to admit I did not think I would enjoy this vid, I thoroughly enjoyed it though....and I had no idea what you guys were talking about half the time. Good job 👍
Sometimes that's the only education that life will give you.
funny I found your channel from scots channel.. He is truely the Bus guru.. and even with all he knows he is more than willing to learn from others and ask for help when he needs it.
Scott is a great guy for sure. :)
Scott had a good Chanel
Oil W stands for Winter, W for weight makes more sense to me but technically it's W for winter.
If you try and get rid of all the oil leaks you will go insane! Lol, having owned an old Norton motorcycle, I can fully understand.
Scott I live your show take care bro,
Holy cow, I actually watch the Bus Grease Monkey TH-cam channel too!
Yep me too!
I follow both these guys too. Awesome channels!
Good choice in T shirt Stu
A viewer gave it to me as a gift at the Chesapeake meetup. :)
Love the video Stu!
Hope your trip to the states was fun Stu good to cya back!
Still there! This vid was filmed in Missouri.
If their Ain't No Oil under it, There Ain't No Oil in it.
Detroit diesel engines will have a longevity of around two million miles if properly maintained and I know of some that have been through three million miles with only two in frame overhauls .
Stu-You two should start a gofundme page for Scott to come to Australia to assist with your engine install and start up. The content you would be great for both sites.
Anglomoil at Mt Kuringai has straight 40 wt oils , they can make any oil spec you like . Regards Adam Troy
Cool, I'll pay them a visit.
Two of my longtime fave youtube channels meet up! Next is SV Seeker!
At Doug's now having a coffee and going through comments. :)
the later driptroits ran the airbox drain into the crankcase. so much cleaner. if the blower has helical cut gears you'll need two pullers because the gears have to come off at the same time. you have the videos of taking it apart to look at as those things are symmetrical and can be put together backwards 20 ways lol other than that he's givin ya all youll need and to my knowlege the elctronic ones he mentioned were all 4 strokes.
Yes, the blower gears are helical cut, and lightly press onto splined shafts. These splines are "keyed" so the gear can only go on one way. The helical cut gears along with shims between one of them and the bearing inner race is what sets the lobe gap. And, yes there are DDEC 71 and 92 series engines. I don't think there ever was a 53 series DDEC, other than maybe some crazy military builds.
Good tips guys.
Great vid stu
actually here in Denver one mile high we loose 20 percent horsepower.
Great video
Make sure to use a new shear rod that drives the blower
Secret pro tip to stop grinding going into first try a bit for second and then go up to first it should slip in much easier.
