doing how to videos wont hurt you like you think, by all means there are cards we all keep close to our chest, those hard earned solutions, but general how-to's wont hurt you, indeed showing how meticulous and thorough you are in routine stuff may even help you or give a potential customer confidence in you over another shop. FWIW I own my own shop, 90% of my work is problems for other shops, I specialise in the nightmare jobs, so I appreciate when you want to keep your knowledge, but I also appreciate the advantage in others knowing what I can do :)
How about being second guessed by every keyboard warrior that knows how to type glow plug? Whenever anyone says to jump over a puddle, 10 others say walk around it and another 10 say build a bridge over it and you guessed it, 10 more say to tunnel under it. I get what you mean, but how to videos catch a tremendous amount of heat. It's like the stupid Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge rants.
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I love any help you can give me
Dont be scared to show off your diesel talents bud. If anything you'll gain more customers who see what you are capable of doing than you will lose out on because they decided to do it themselves. A person can already google or TH-cam just about any information they need on fixing/repairing vehicles and so a person planning on doing something there self is gonna do it regardless. Good luck love seeing you share your passion and knowledge and keep it up.
A shiney black (super glossy) would pop against the flat black of the engine bay. And look classy AF. . . These videos have shown me you care about your work environment. Far different than Kyle's or Haden's. Everything is clean and not cluttered. Love your videos!
I’m glad there’s some folks doing diesel how to videos, I did a head gasket job on my lb7 a couple months ago not knowing anything but it went ok. The shops around here wanted $6000-$7000 and my truck wasn’t worth much more than that.
Engine parts White to match the roof and not just be the same would look bloody cool IMO. When parts look this sexy,is almost a shame they end up inside the engine! Exited to see how she comes out Wyatt, and the journey there!
I am so glad I can have other people do all the work on my cars these days. It was so much easier in the 70s-80s to work on my cars. The main reason is because I was 30-40 years younger! And everything wasn’t run with computers or electronics. But it is fun to watch you guys doing it. Never had a chance to work on Diesel engines they were only in big trucks back in those days. Will be watching your build to completion. Had a 70 C10 4x4 in the late 70s so this build interests me more than most. Keep up the great work!
Hey Wyatt, Perhaps you should consider schooling your boy Hayden on how to use micrometers and how to Mic” a Crankshaft, Main bearing and Rod journals and only use plasti-gauge when you are in lower butt-scratch just North of Taint and South of the outer Rings of Uranus
I think building a motor is a matter of personal preference, i like the Motor room so to speak or call it, I like to do any assembly in that very clean environment so there is no possibility of dust or any foreign matter gets into the corner or pre Lube for cam,crank, etc. i love your channel the just real deal shop were you can spend endless hours doing work that you and many of us love to do. Great channel bud
This is one of the videos that inspired me with my built motor. I cant wait to see you finish this truck one day. Its going to be badass with the amount of time invested into the chassis and everything.
The perfect color is called " Colorado Cheek Red" J/k brother! Thanks for the upload. Ive never seen anyone use a forklift as a engine hoist! Its obvious youve done this once or twice!!!
finally a detailed engine build video its been a while since ive put one together and go with antifreeze green for the motor parts it would pop and look good with the orange in both matte and gloss
Definitely set yourself up for the future and go with the brighter orange. Plus it looks like the engine bay is already closer to that OG color so I think it will just look better regardless.
This is the kind of nittt grittt video i love. Plenty of detail, but not dragged out. Well edited and enjoyable to watch. Keep crushing it my dude, much love from the land down under👍👍🔥
SketchyDAdbod coming in clutch with excellent content. Thanks Wyatt! 😘 Also Turbo Yoda koality with the explanation of what you’re doing technically. 👌
Lovin’ the orange color. Honestly, IMO staying with the color of the vehicle would be the only way to go for the engine components. Wow this is going to be an awesome build. Subscribed!
love your videos man. love watching you work even just timelapses. ive seen light blues go with orange well, pure black and orange can look like Halloween. awesome build, really enjoy watching you do it, i can tell you work hard for it and its not at all fake. cheers from BC Canada.
If you are painting the engine black and the truck the original orange or some color lose perhaps a good color for engine brackets that will look good over time would be Pewter, cast iron Silver (like a brand new Cast Iron Skilllet) or the silver that was used on 68/69 Camaro’s. My thought is Silver even as it weathered and got a little dirty would still look good.
Nice build you have going on keep those vlogs coming. I don’t think you realise that these and you building these engines will do u some good all the best.
Wyatt, what assembly lube do you use? Also if you want to be different and edgy go with pink to accent the black. The pink of a popsicle, I did a complete mud truck in baby blue with a white stripe along the bottom of the rocker and around the wheel wells. the entire powertrain and suspension I did in that color pink and it looked cool and was not something that anyone had. You have to be confident to pull it off.
polish all the things you'd paint orange and then brush them all the same direction with some sand paper and then clear coat with duplicolor engine enamel clear. no matter what color the truck is painted, this will go with it. brushed metal/black, universal af.
Awesome content. Always entertaining and you do shit the by the book. Keep it up! It’s nice to see someone take pride In their work and take the time to share it.
What do you think about a bronze or brass color for the engine parts. Kind of a older color that's not used very often and would look good next to black. Stoked on the build of your truck! Always cool to watch someone who knows what their doing!
I did the same thing when I forgot to install my cam gear lol. Had that "fuckin ay" moment as well but I sneaked it in as well! No backtracking haha. As far as painting the front/rear covers... You literally won't even see them as soon as the engine is fully assembled and in the truck. If anything just have the outermost parts that are more exposed powdered/painted, if you ask me! Valve covers, accessory brackets, coolant crossover, piping, etc.
Hey Mate ! love the build where can I find the engine management video ?? What brand did you use ? looking at building one just going through numbers and ideas of best options to go with based in Australia and not really common here
I’d say go with a Cream color. Unless going with the exact same orange that you plan on painting it. Seems like it’ll be a off street party truck more than a daily. Cream would be rad.
well i don't know how you would feel about it but there is that classic HEMI orange that would probably be pretty close to that orange you're looking for
I prefer polished metal over paint. Gloss white would contrast nicely to the black and orange. White is hard to keep clean, but it also points out leaks if any. When clean, it just looks cleaner by nature.
What brand is the griddle plate, and did the block need to be machined for as well? Total understand the secret squirrel mentality on the details. I don’t get your notifications anymore, so I have to stop by and visit to see if new content has been added.
Best intro in town over here boys

@Damon Reginald Instablaster :)
Wyatt deserves way more likes than he gets!
Dam bro get an engine stand. Been building engines for over 30 years would never without a stand.
Hope he keyed the crank and cam
Smart using the forklift as a adjustable table 👌
Damn dude you going balls out blueprinting that engine,👍👍👍, a real engine builder!!!!

Piston ring windows re-boot....Good job Wyatt and you even checked you crankshaft end-play, well done!

Plum crazy would look sick! I would good with the black, white, and orange.
Can't go wrong with chevy orange engine paint. Keep up the awesome work on this build.
Engine parts White to match the roof and not just be the same would look bloody cool IMO. When parts look this sexy,is almost a shame they end up inside the engine! Exited to see how she comes out Wyatt, and the journey there!
No plasty gauge. Doing the work to perfection. Good work!
NICE CHOICE ON THE RODS ! CARRILLO RODS ARE THE BEST RODS IN THE BIZ...PERIOD !!!
Cyan, orange and black is a classic racing combination and always looks great.
A shade of grey, darker than lighter, maybe even some metallic flake for some pop. Looking awesome! Dream build for me! Keep it up
I am so glad I can have other people do all the work on my cars these days. It was so much easier in the 70s-80s to work on my cars. The main reason is because I was 30-40 years younger!

For me computers have only made troubleshooting and repairing easier. But I do agree sometimes it's nice to work on an old carburated car😁
It's so refreshing to see someone who knows what there doing.. WELL DONE KEEP IT UP..
Engine build done correctly! No plasigauge insight. Props to you dude, not half assing it
Yeeeeeeah boiiiiiii. Finally some Wyatt content.
Hey Wyatt, Perhaps you should consider schooling your boy Hayden on how to use micrometers and how to Mic” a Crankshaft, Main bearing and Rod journals and only use plasti-gauge when you are in lower butt-scratch just North of Taint and South of the outer Rings of Uranus
ha love it! good to see i am not the only one who improvise bench space to build motors... love the forklift bench
I think building a motor is a matter of personal preference, i like the Motor room so to speak or call it, I like to do any assembly in that very clean environment so there is no possibility of dust or any foreign matter gets into the corner or pre Lube for cam,crank, etc. i love your channel the just real deal shop were you can spend endless hours doing work that you and many of us love to do.

Came here from the boosted boiz channel after seeing the c10 build you had going.... lookin forward to watching your build bro
I’m a big fan of Alpine Green like the old Detroit engines. I think it would be something no one uses anymore!
Race ready orange! Keep em comin dad bod for days lmao
finally a detailed engine build video its been a while since ive put one together and go with antifreeze green for the motor parts it would pop and look good with the orange in both matte and gloss
Illusion orange would be sick for that build
Definitely set yourself up for the future and go with the brighter orange. Plus it looks like the engine bay is already closer to that OG color so I think it will just look better regardless.
Awesome video! Just paint it silver use silver pin stripe on that orange like gun metal
Mmm, tasty raspberry jam cam! Loving the build man, awesome progress. Thanks for showing us how to do it right!
This is the kind of nittt grittt video i love. Plenty of detail, but not dragged out. Well edited and enjoyable to watch.
Keep crushing it my dude, much love from the land down under👍👍🔥
Hugger orange is a gm orange and close to what that interior looks like
SketchyDAdbod coming in clutch with excellent content. Thanks Wyatt! 😘
Also Turbo Yoda koality with the explanation of what you’re doing technically. 👌
Lovin’ the orange color. Honestly, IMO staying with the color of the vehicle would be the only way to go for the engine components. Wow this is going to be an awesome build. Subscribed!
Definitely go with orange for the accent colors, as well as on all piping and turbo. That would be sick!
Bout time we saw this get built
You should upload more really enjoy your vids never disappointed. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts
These look great Tiffany teal and white pearl
love your videos man. love watching you work even just timelapses. ive seen light blues go with orange well, pure black and orange can look like Halloween. awesome build, really enjoy watching you do it, i can tell you work hard for it and its not at all fake. cheers from BC Canada.
Nice video, I'm glad that you're honest about why you don't do how to videos very refreshing Thank You.
Merry Christmas!
You should look into total seals gapless top rings. They make it so soot and compression get into your crank case.
Don't know how I went from watching someone eating hot wings to this but I like it so I'm staying as a new subscriber awesome editing 💪
The wrist pins and rods could pull a locomotive . Super strong 💪
Nice 👍🏻 work!! Cool motor, awesome project.
Totally match the engine colour with that orange of the truck. 👌
Man this is some really high quality content, be proud of your knowledge bud !
Looks like Chevy Orange to me, and Chevy Orange is what I suggest.
If you are painting the engine black and the truck the original orange or some color lose perhaps a good color for engine brackets that will look good over time would be Pewter, cast iron Silver (like a brand new Cast Iron Skilllet) or the silver that was used on 68/69 Camaro’s. My thought is Silver even as it weathered and got a little dirty would still look good.
Lime green will contrast heaps with the orange
Orange with black accents would look mean.Cant wait to see this beast in action.
The orange will be sick
Nice build you have going on keep those vlogs coming. I don’t think you realise that these and you building these engines will do u some good all the best.
Just got done watching. Love the build I also subscribed. Can’t wait to see that truck rip
Keep er coming bud nice meeting you in bradenton. !

Polishing the aluminum engine covers would look rad!
i can't wait to hear this engine pur. thanks again for great video.
I would take a vibrant green, like Kawasaki lime green or even an fluoressant green!! Would look awesome.. That's going to be some sweet trucky!!
Go with a candy orange/root beer/copper variant. Will go well with both old and new paint 👍👍👍
Paint the accessories white to match the roof of the truck 👌🏻
polish all the things you'd paint orange and then brush them all the same direction with some sand paper and then clear coat with duplicolor engine enamel clear. no matter what color the truck is painted, this will go with it. brushed metal/black, universal af.
Man respect for the blue printing takes crazy amounts of time
No question about it go with traditional Chevy orange cut that roof little bit I think it would look badass
Awesome video man. Keep it up. Can’t wait to see this project done.
Awesome content. Always entertaining and you do shit the by the book. Keep it up! It’s nice to see someone take pride In their work and take the time to share it.
glad youre back champ!
GM engine orange. Will look good with the rest of the rig plus keep with the old school look.
What do you think about a bronze or brass color for the engine parts. Kind of a older color that's not used very often and would look good next to black. Stoked on the build of your truck! Always cool to watch someone who knows what their doing!

What did you set piston ring end gap at? Will be spraying nitrous? Thanks for the video!!
Have you thought about a wrinkle orange for accessories?
Hey Mate !
love the build where can I find the engine management video ??
What brand did you use ?
looking at building one just going through numbers and ideas of best options to go with
based in Australia and not really common here

Hell yea dude! Really digging the time lapse music.
Love this man can’t wait till next video
Good video bro. Hope to see many more
Chevy orange for sure 🤘🏽
First video of yours I’ve watched. Look forward to the next 🍻
Thanks for letting me know about the time lapse . I thought you was working really really fast 😂😂😂😂
Im curious is this technique of checking bearing clearances better/accurate than the one with the plastiguage?
Doing work son! This is going to be a beast!
Did you assume all the rod and mains on the crank were all the same or did you measure them all at least twice 90 degrees apart?
Youre shop is sick
been geekin out on d24 videos
Can I ask how you got to know the Duramax so well? I am in diesel school and really want to learn more about them.
Bright orange forsure
I prefer polished metal over paint.
Gloss white would contrast nicely to the black and orange.
White is hard to keep clean, but it also points out leaks if any.
When clean, it just looks cleaner by nature.
Paint them white! I know they will get dirty as shit but the white would match the top of the cab and provide great contrast to the black block!
Holy hell. Someone that actually mic's instead of plastigauge.
Wasted extra steps. What's wrong with plastigauges?
It’s actually accurate. Go to any real deal engine shop, and have them show you a comparison.
@@RLD_Media What's accurate? The plastigauges? Did you mean inaccurate?
when you want to build a gem, you will use a mic that goes down to 10,000ths for bearing clearance.
plastic wont do that...
awesome build man, cant wait to see this beast run 👍🏻
What brand is the griddle plate, and did the block need to be machined for as well? Total understand the secret squirrel mentality on the details. I don’t get your notifications anymore, so I have to stop by and visit to see if new content has been added.
Very nice work!👍👍
Vibrant orange is great
Hey what assembly lube you use? We use clevite on a daily at our machine shop
Almost looks like the redline assembly lube
Blue is a fantastic compliment color to orange. See any movie poster made in the last 10 years.
Great assembler!
