I just wanted to thank Adrian for taking the time to film and explain all that he did. The people that have these skills are getting harder and harder to find these days and there's going to be a time where you won't find them. So for him to film this really is great and will probably save someone's ass in the future. Also great job on the editing too Stu,it's a winner all around.
Adrian is the best! I could hang out and talk to him all day. Seems like such a good guy, you're lucky to have friend like him. Cheers from Colorado
Adrian, basically a born teacher. Excellent explanations of what he is doing, why, in what order, things to consider, and how to tell if it's not done correctly.
Thank you, Stu, for asking him to video his work.
He is indeed. I can't take the credit for asking him to film though, he did that without being asked because he knew I was making the videos.
I drank my coffee and watched a gentleman who knows his stuff!!! There is no substitute for training and experience and this man has both. Stu I think he could have fixed those pieces in his sleep. Nice work Adrian!!!!
A thousand ways to do it wrong and one to do it right. You guys that can fix stuff are priceless and under appreciated. Goodonya
Absolutely e enjoyed this video. Adrian looks like he's the guy to go to if you have a Detroit with issues. Good thing he came along. He looks to be a true Mate, and a true Expert.
Adrian sure is a great mechanic and a top bloke too.
Wow Stu, how fortunate for you to have a Detroit expert on hand. The way he was talking, you would think he was one of the engine designers!
I think he could have been if he was born in 1905
I don’t know if I will ever need to rebuild a Detroit blower but it’s nice to know that someone has taken the time to show us how. Merry Christmas and please thank Adrian for taking the time to video the rebuild.
No matter what your donk, some insight into what a master mechanic brings to a project.
Thanks Adrian...what a living legend :)
Wow, huge thanks to Adrian. You don't get that kind of in depth knowledge from anywhere but experience. Detroit master class.
Oh yeah?! Not only did ya do a bang up job on the bearing set. Ya also did an exceptional job on the video. Seemed to me like the running commentary of what you are thinking as you go through the rebuild process. Bang on job mate!!! The best engineers that I know including myself say they aspire to being considered to be a real mechanic. I am honored to have been granted to see you work. Please pass this comment on to Adrian Dangar.
Thanks John, I'm sure he will appreciate it. :)
Three cheers to Adrian for filming. Also, it shows how much extra effort is required to film well while attempting to get work done. So three cheers to you, too Stu.
Thanks Adrian for sharing your fantastic knowledge and skill set with us lot of couch potato's ...lol..
That hour went really quick - good thing you put this out 26th Stu after the cricket too -
Would be great if you could get Adrian to make more video's on complete rebuilds of Detroit's.
Being a mechanic myself I love to watch a talented mechanic do his work. He seems like he would be a great teacher as he explains why he does/does not do things.
I also think he would be a great teacher. It would be a real shame to see all this knowledge lost.
Wow even over here in the states we don't get an explanation like that, boy oh boy he is good . It is getting harder and harder to find a good Detroit Diesel mechanic , Or better yet a master. Thanks for getting him to show off his talents.
It is getting harder and harder to find guys that know these engines well.
The one thing that I find amazing after watching the last 3 videos is how well this engine runs without any electronics involved. I mean it's all mechanical, no sensors or micro computer orchestrating any aspect of its operation. I'm sure the modern versions that employ more computing power than NASA may have better power, fuel efficiency and lower emissions, but nothing new has the soul that you can hear in this machine.
Thanks for sharing
Yep, something about a 100% mechanical engine that gives me great confidence in getting home each day.
I love em we use to start them in October and kill them in April just killed em to change the oil 6k to 8k before you should have to rebuild it and that's if you are mean to it .
Knowledgeable and experienced bloke... always interesting to watch someone like that. Great video, thanks for posting 👍🏻
What a legend for filming all of that. Not bad work for a first timer verry interesting to listen to
Good to be surounded by good people
Watched this on Boxing Day , it popped up while I was rewatching a few older videos from January and February when Stu bought the boat and lifted it in the marina planning to spend a couple of days tinkering with it, then refloating it and moving it to the hard "for a few weeks".
It has been a long "few weeks", and a hell of an entertaining, informative education. I have been a subscriber for a few years even though I don't own a boat and I'm not a mechanic.
Many thanks to Stu for making and sharing of this channel. Thanks also to Adrian and everyone else providing additional content, the numerous businesses and friends that make up the 'supporting cast' have been an intergral part of the story so far.
Now the engine rebuild is drawing to a close the refit and shakedown can begin, then hopefully onto the fun. 2019 has been a hell of a year and 2020 looks like being just as good.
Great job, great videos, *Raises a bottle of Coopers to Stu
Thanks mate. It's only been a few weeks, about 50 of them. ;)
I just cringe at the thought of using the blower the way it was before Adrian set eyes on it. Making videos isn't his thing, but we got there and the proof we have already seen, A good Detroit mechanic is getting harder to find as they are a dying breed. This video really is testament to attention to detail. He really is worth twice what he charges.
Cheers Stu, Adrian is an absolute wealth of specific and detailed knowledge on engines. His ability to explain is fantastic, he would make a great instructor in my opinion. Thanks for having him make a video!
Stu, You could have done this rebuild. We would have had videos of a blower rebuild for the next decade!!! Great rebuild from a mechanic who not only knows his stuff backwards and forwards, but looks to be a real down to earth guy.
I would feel sorry for the viewers that didn't live long enough to see me get it right though. ;)
What a dead set legend. This is why i'm a proud Australian. Thank you boy's.
Thank you sir. It is great to see a real craftsman doing a job properly using the
correct special tools.
Very knowledgeable and detailed commentary on the re build. Looks like you are very lucky to have found Adrian.
Very lucky. :)
I've seen a Detroit run away and you're right, they're not fun to stop. But it's amazing how fast a shop towel thrown into an open turbo can shut one down but then you get to clean shredded shop towel out of the engine.
Hahaha I lost a glove trying to choke one out running away on natural gas from a shale oil well being serviced...... it sure locked up that turbo though!!!
Iv had one eat a 3/4 or 19mm ply board and spit it right out never miss a lick, and shop towls turned to black dust
You really only have two choices to stop one running away: Shut off air or shut off fuel.
And depending on the situation, shutting off the fuel isn't always possible.
@@DangarMarine If it was my boat, I would install a ball valve in the fuel line as close as I could to the injector pump, ideally on the output side to kill fuel to the engine. With the air intake you don't have a good way to close off the air to the engine, without removing piping next to the engine so that is not a good possibility. Talk it over with Adrian and he can advise you. Happy sailing.
HUGE thanks to Adrian for taking the extra time to film his restoration - it must have added a lot of time to the task and we GREATLY appreciate the effort and commentary. Wonderful to watch a highly skilled mechanical engineer working on something so utterly foreign to me ( a mere IT engineer)!
Thank you so much "man of Adria". Don't worry about the camera work. The story is perfect.
You're very fortunate to have Adrian "on tow" Stuart. If the old blower had failed at sea in bad weather it could of caused loss of the vessel or life.
I was very lucky to have found Adrian, for sure.
Great to see Adrian is a professional and has respect for the engineers who designed the thing. He seems the kinda guy that uses a torque wrench on wheel bolts. Too many mechanics think they know better than the people who built it, and don't respect special tools or torque settings or stuff like that. So hats off to Adrian for sticking to the book and taking the time to follow procedures and do things right!
Adrian is a legend, and I like the way he explains things. I hadn't thought about anti-seize inside an engine. Every bolt, screw or nut that comes off my bikes gets a generous coating of copper slip before going back on, except near the brakes. Adrian reckons anti-seize does more harm than good inside the engine oil is enough. Fair enough. We live and learn.
if it holds an external housing and it is not a threaded thru hole theres no harm no foul. detroits used a lot of thru holes because back in the dy it was easier and fastr to machine. thus why a copper washer under 90% of the bolts.
@@richardcranium5839 Good points Richard. I saw that Adrian also found excess dried Silastic (silicon) applied by well-intentioned mechanics around thru holes. The silicon had blocked galleries and really gummed things up. Same thought process as for anti-seize. I'll still use copper slip on my motorbikes, but only on exhausts and external fittings where there's no chance of the copper grease getting inside the internal lubrication system. Lesson learned.
To many people this video is a Xmas gift. Long enough.
Holy shite...this is a TON of information!
I am definitely saving this video for future reference...especially with all the stuff that is not in the books.
Thanks to you both for providing such a great video :)
Thanks mate. I definitely think it will make a great reference video for people looking to do this job down the track.
"Having a bit of difficulty doing the video and the wrench and holding the block"
One shot later has added a ciggy to the mix. Good mechanics are a universal constant the world over! Looks like you've got a bunch of them in your orbit Stu, good job done right!
Good thing Adrian was around to assemble the blower correctly.
Well done Adrian you are worth your weight in gold, so nice to hear all those years of acquired specialist knowledge.
My goodness this is the best DD rebuilt info video I have ever seen . Too bad there are no Adrien around! Instructive Good work!...Do more if possible.
Adrian is a star. Fantastic to not be encouraged to use an oversize socket when fitting a new bearing... one or two others should well take note.😁
Jon Wetherell, there’s more than one or two out there! Guilty!
Thanks Adrian, your expertise is appreciated not for the backyard mechanic.
Diesel Engine Blower Master Class. People pay good money for this information and we're getting it for free! THANK YOU!
Thanks Fred, Adrian certainly was very generous with his knowledge.
Unbelievably valuable content. Thank you for this! Adrian you are a master!
Wow a blower rebuild one handed. That is talent.
Very informative and great to see an expert at work.
Great video, people who know their craft, like Adrian, usually enjoy sharing their knowledge with anyone who is eager to learn.
Glad you did do the rebuild. Lots of little things were worn or stuck. Was also amazed the time few by on this video. Good info in here.
For sure, plenty of parts that needed serious attention on this motor but they are also very serviceable beasts which is one of the things I really like about them.
Gotta say, even though so much of that was way the heck over my head it was very interesting to watch a wizard at work! What an amazing piece of machinery, particularly when you've got someone like that to work on it. Thanks for sharing!!
Wow! Love the hair! You look different without the grease paint.
Man thank you so much 4 this video you helped me w my fuel pump you are a real mechanic. A true real mechanic tears parts down and rebuilds them and thats exactly what you done you are not a parts changer i love your accent...im from South Carolina in the us. I have a 60 series detroit 12.7 liter and the fuel pump wasnt working it didn't have no suction nor output of fuel and your the only person that has any vids on rebuilding a pump so i removed my fuel pump and i soaked it in vinegar for 4 days then i watched your video and took the fuel pump apart i cleaned all the parts w either then checked all the parts bearings gears and shaft seals and everything checked all i found a chunk of trash in pump it was dirty and relief valve has junk in it so i cleaned it all up and oiled it up w some 15w40 motor oil and put it all back together and torque the eight 6 point bolts and reinstalled back on truck checked for fuel pressure while turning over engine and yes it had pressure tightened up both fuel lines filled up both fuel filters w fresh fuel and changed w new filters then tried 2 crank engine up and she started right up. Thank you. You saved me 300 bucks on a new pump thank you and God Bless you plz keep up the awesome videos
Great to see an engineer who knows his stuff from A to Z and back again, and who can explain it all so clearly as well.
Very glad Adrian was on this packet. Top notch work. 👍🇺🇸
wow a white road comode. havent seen one of them in a long time. i used gaskets on everything back in the day. the fuel pump one was a super thin clear material and you'd stack them to get just the right clearance. i remember cutting strips of news print and using them to check the blower rotor clearance. you'd run the strips through the blower one then two strips then three till it cut the paper. kept cigarette paper in the toolbox for setting up rear end gears. lots of tricks to make life easier. that is a newer engine. the older ones had straight rotors and spur gears. there was no clearance adjustment. they also had a very distinct whine when running.
I like the idea of closing the clearance until the paper cuts, interesting!
thanks for all you do for us boat heads! marry Christmas/happy new year
Happy New Year!
Thanks Stu, its been a good year at Dangar Marine. Adrian was the grand finale, the encore to a very interesting period.
Experience is money well spent, especially when your out to sea and realize you should have had it done right in the first place. It's really fun watching someone that knows what he is doing. And, I agree that is why she started and ran so well at the first try. Well done Stu.
Danger brother! Adrian is a blessing. The tightest tolerance I have worked in is 4 to 12 nanometers. Pass this along as well. :-)
He sure is!
I've never fitted a blower or ever expect to but this video was absolutely fascinating, thanks.
Now that bloke knows what he is doing.
Wonderful mechanic....not only knows what to do...he knows what NOT to do!
Adrian great job on the rebuilds and I liked the video too,, Jeff in LA USA
Please thank Adrian for the work filming this. I know just how much extra work that is. He sure shows he has some experience. Merry Christmas to you and pass the wishes on to your family and also Adrian please.
I respect a good mechanic as much as a good doctor. This guy knows his shit. Thank you and Danger! 👍👍👍
Adrian knows what he’s doing...very meticulous...AND he took the time to thank those that showed him the way to do things right. Thats awesome. This is the type of work I always hope I get when I take something to get fixed. Unfortunately thats not always the case.
Great friend to have help you out. Lost skills not many folks have knowledge to do this type of work. Thumbs up..
The man's a genius. To be able to explain all that, AND do it one-handed...Wow.
Yeh bloody ripper Stu, your a bloody ripper, Adrian too
"Eh, matey, it's doxing bay, you coming down the pub?"
"Nah, you're aright, I've got a Dangar Stu video to watch, it's over an hour so I've got some biscuits."
"What's it on?"
"They're rebuilding a few bits of an engine."
"Which bits?"
"I dunno, mate, what do i know about engines?"
"Why you watching an hour long video about engines if you don't care abount engines?"
"It's Dangar Stu."
"So what?"
"You're an impossibly proletarian philistine who's shown an unceasing dedication to the simplistic, banal and vacuous drip-feed of a mainstream media emergent gestaltic fear culture, you are so myopic and railtracked that you wouldn't be able to comprehend even an iota of relevant, genuine culture if it crawled up your nose and took a shit on your wispy mustache. Dangar Stu is BY FAR the greatest Australasian small steel boat solo restoration video making guy I have found through largely esoteric and mystifying random video recommendations, so, go, be off with you, peasant! Enjoy your lager and solliloquies of football and birds, indulge in your kebab-load of grease and your anosmitic apnea, I have tea, and biscuits, and a bunch of Strayans hitting bits of metal with other bits of metal!"
LOL. Love it! :)
So you're not coming down the pub then? Whateva!
"Na mate, there's a Dangar Stu vid out and the missus is givin me the eye, better stay here"
"Bah! I always said that woman would have ya jewels in a jar in the mantle!"
"and ya wonder why ya single ya dope!!"
VERY well said - and I share your dedication to the channel! HUGE thanks to Adrian for taking the extra time to film his restoration - it must have added a lot of time to the task and we GREATLY appreciate the effort and commentary. Wonderful to watch a highly skilled mechanical engineer working on something so utterly foreign to me ( a mere IT engineer)!
Your mates clearly don't understand you. Get some new mates... ;)
Adrian, thanks for the extra effort to film this rebuild. It was well explained and very informative!
If you're not filthy, you're not rich! Thanks for the video, Adrian, we all learned a lot.
Stellar service job Adrian! Great explanation and reasoning. Thank you so much for sharing your work and knowledge!!
Merry Christmas Stu,good to see a bit of South Oz in your workshop,in the form of a number plate. Can't wait to see your boat running.
Adrian what a legend. Love his bottle opener ring too
I hope you shouted Adrian a 7 course meal. Interesting vid well done Adrian
To be honest I haven’t got or will ever have that motor and still got around all them videos.. I can’t explain it but it is fulfilling
Loving the workshop.
Cheers Mate! It was so awesome when that old Detroit fired up! Good on Adrian and you Stu!
Thanks Stu and Adrian, I enjoyed this vid 👍
Thanks mate! :)
What a great, detailed and complete walk through, this was really awesome! Thank you!
Your right there Stu he proper knows his stuff
All the best for the new year Stu and viewers.
You too mate!
Hey Stu , you discovered a new youtube star.
I wish he woud start his own channel. I'd love to learn a lot more from him.
You're a good teacher Adrian. You don't just say do it like this. You also point out why it is built that way, how it works in concert with the engine, potential mistakes I could make, and I could go on. Thoroughly enjoyable video. You also gave me an idea for a video. Mechanic horror stories. Stories with a lesson on what NOT to do. Anyway, good job on the video.
Looking forward to another year of Dangar Marine! Keep the videos coming. I like your shirt as well :)
Hey Stu a belated Merry Christmas to you and yours.
There are some things on the Detroit's that are a bit finicky to set up, but the amount of abuse I have seen Detroit diesels survive tells me the finicky bits of setup are well worth dealing with for longevity.
Watching Adrian do the rebuild work was enjoyable, because I watch the older gentleman do the same thing gee it's got to be almost 50 years ago now. Back when Detroit's were the majority of the working boats engines.
My Christmas! I agree that a bit of effort now will result in many years of reliable service down the track.
@@DangarMarine I know the 6-71 in Frontier had over 24,000 hours when she had a engine room fire and sank in Southeast Alaska. All Dad could do is sit on the beach and watch her burn. That is the nature of fiberglass boats.
That was excellent and very nice of him to do it!
awesome information.Adrian needs his own channel. Spent the morning watching. Did a great job and learned some stuff. Thanks Stu
I'd love to see him do more videos for himself.
Couldn't agree more with previous comments Adrian is a star......lucky for the project Stu.
Adrain please make couple of videos on Detroit 149 series 16v , with woodward mechanical governor
Nice video, a lot more than i thought to the blower.
Nice to see a bloke who knows exactly what he is doing - doing it.
I don't understand why people give thumbs down for? Why? All these videos are nothing but the best. Merry Xmas Stu and happy new year. Can't wait to see what next year has in store. Cheers, Brenton.
Our society is going down the drain, just the other day I was going through a parking lot minding my own business and I had some lady from the other direction cut me off,block the lane on purpose for no reason and she thought it was funny. She then jumps out with her car parked in the lane of travel saying some BS about me being in a big hurry. I wanted to beat her ass along with the other people she was holding up. But she was in her 50's a woman and my 74 year old mother was waiting outside in the 20 degree cold. But for the life of me I can't figure out what caused her to go off like that. I wasn't speeding and was slowing down for the speed bump when she pulled her stunt. What's weirder is she was your mom descript middle aged middle class Camry driving liberal.
lots of folks have the attention span of a fee, get annoyed by a long technical video. Personally, I enjoyed this one.
I guess you mean, "Why would this video get a thumbs down?" & I agree with you. Adrian was generous to share so much info. 👍🏼
i'm pretty sure it's mostly just people using it as a way to tell youtube not to recommend similar videos to them. I don't even know if it works that way or not, but that's probably why
It’s cos softhanded snowflakes would rather see transgender makeup videos
Kudos to Adrien!
I specialise in WiFi and I found this informative, not that it applies to my industry, but reinforces the fact if you want the job done right, get the right block for the job.
Good show
I think Adrian has well and truly earned a fishing trip out on the boat after this! What’s his background with Detroit’s? He knows them back to front!
Fantastic video. Someone who knows what he's doing and real old school stuff. Engine should run forever except for one thing - the scoring inside the supercharger housing was scary. What's wrong with a decent air filter? One bit of grit, a stripped tooth on the drive and Armageddon. Loved the reference to white snot. Highly addictive stuff. Have a great New Year!
Good stuff, keep them coming, they help us to understand a lot about the internal workings of motors.
Keep smiling boys
JD
Fantastic job, detailed explanations make this video a top learning experience. Great!
Thanks James.
Very enjoyable--and obviously informative!
This motor is going to be better than new!!!
Absolute masters of your Art guys. loving your work.
Hope you and your family had a very merry Christmas Stu. Adrian's workmanship is the best.
