I'm 64 years old, but I still want to grow up and be like you! Great job with the engine build.
Best comment ever!
Always aspire!
Learning till the day you die, awesome attitude sir
I am 70 and agree.
LOL I understand I’m just now turning 16 and I still have a 74F 100 finish
Matt, I'm a retired A.S.E master tech and I have to say that I couldn't have done a better job rebuilding that engine. The work you performed was almost surgical in nature and you paid attention to every detail. I hope you are very proud of the outcome and I hope the engine performs well into the future for you.
Matt, The fact that you took the time to go thru that engine CORRECTLY and have ADS do the pump is why it popped off on the first try. GOOD JOD!! It sounds really good. Gonna give you years of service.
Hillbilly or not a good job deserves recognition
I know Matt a bit and I assure you Hillbilly is a foil or antonym of his understanding and ability. It's just for funzies.
I am a retired engine builder and it doesn't get much better than this. Pay attention, take notes, and don't give in to impatience, usually an expensive learning curve.
Charlie is such an optimist. She is just so sure that you want to take a break and play fetch whenever she feels like it. :)
If you had seen a few of the earlier videos where Charlie was embarrassing Matt by licking HIS GENITALS! He has no gender dysphoria 👍😃
HOT DAMN ... she caught in 2 strokes and purrred.... Great Job Matt!!
After a rebuild I'd say anti-climatic is a GOOD thing!! Well done!
Means a job done right!
Can never have enough clips of Charlie in your videos.
The channel is really about Charlie trying to get him to play with her.
It runs about as perfectly as it is designed to do It looks great. A testament to a real mechanic. This is why I anxiously await every video you publish. Thank You for another.
Great job. You deserve more credit than you gave yourself for the instant start. Area Diesel was certainly a factor but your attention to detail is what made it a successful first start. I'm looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Matt! She sounds so smooth and the fact it started on the first crank speaks volumes to your ability and skill. Way to go!
And now Glow Plugs either! At least I don't think they were wired up.
Don't neglect the Datto too long. I've had a 84' Celica sitting half done for so long that I've forgotten were I was up to with wiring and hoses are already going stiff.
But way cool to have the rebuild fire up on the 1st crank!!
Anticlimactic or not, it big win in my eyes. Hydraulics used to be a mystery to me, but with your guidance I reckon it's making a lot more sense, so I hope the pump is next or soon after :)
Great rebuild job
How am I supposed to read Chenglish when all I speak is Spanglish.🍻
Your meticulous attention to detail is second to none. Great job as always. Really enjoy your vids. And thanks for the bonus footage of Charlie. She's a beautiful dog and obviously loves being around you. 🙂
Sounds great congratulations on a successful first rebuild on a diesel engine
As far as the pan gasket goes. You could make yourself a bolt bridge for it out of some 1/4” steel plate. It’s basically a long washed that goes all the way around the bolt pattern. A lot of older motors have it that have tin oil pans. Sometimes no mater what you do those tin pans will still leak. Nice work man. Really nice work!!!
Well Matt, you got exactly what you deserved. You did everything, well most things, that a pro would have done and it turned out really well. I must say that the surprised look on your face when it started first time was golden. You have a little gem there, just got to finish the rest of the excavator off now.
Amazing job mat be proud ,uk
Charlie loves her stick throwing routine, you can tell she’s having fun!
Well done fella!!!
Excellent job!
Your pre-start preparations, oil and diesel was what just as important to a first start, Matt . I say, do your magic on that Datto Z. I'd love to see it on the road again.
I liked the oil primer Matt.
That was a cool startup.
So HERE is where the starship enterprise was born. You just changed the polarity in the engine room and away she went! 😀
I know a lot of your viewers are as skilled as you in engine rebuilds; but, you're separated from the crowd because you can produce, direct, edit and publish videos encompassing the whole process.
Thoroughly enjoy your videos.
Thanks for sharing.
The most beautiful engine rebuild ever. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Massive RESPECT, from Nagaland, India.
You are the greatest
Almost inspirational, but my wrenching days are over. That's why I watch you!
Zero minute comment: Nailed on certainty!
I haven’t done much this morning except watch your video of getting the engine going and boy do I feel accomplished
thanks for all your effort and time sharing what you’ve done with this engine,,,very inspiring
Yeah, finally done!
Get the Z out of the garage as little intermediate project ;-)
Stay safe and we'll see you next time.
A quick video getting the Z started would be good, just so YOU can enjoy it. I assume it's mostly going to be a full service and cleaning the fuel system to get it going.
I would definitely go through that pump, or at least flush it thoroughly with fresh fluid - that's a LOT of work to redo if something happens once it is put back together.
Nice Work! Great to see. This should get me motivated in rebuilding a couple of mopar 2.7s. Just need the time.
Charlie is a pretty girl, good to see you Matt! Looks like you have everything under control brother, nice set up Matt! One thing is you always do everything right my friend! I really enjoy watching your channel, I’m sure everything will be a success Matt! She sounds great brother, I had no doubt my friend! You’re the MAN!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Sure sounds nice - great work to get it there.
Nice work, the engine sounds very good. 👍
Unreal brilliant, !!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Beautiful job!!!!! Sounds awesome!!!!!!
Congrats Matt on a job well done - don't sell your self short - you attention to detail an methodical pace are a joy to watch - I look forward to your next video.
Outstanding effort...If all fails you could start a business building engine run stands :)
I worked in the logging business In Winchester and Roseburg Oregon with Savage and Ramey log Loaders as the Hydraulics boss...any good pump is worth a good look and rebuild...We always used "Commercial Shearing pumps" and Funk drive plates...You have done a excellent Job to be proud of...I know personally how much work is required and the effort you put out...
Thanks for the update video. I know that it took a lot of time and money to get this far. I know that there is a lot of work left to do. Hang in there. One day you will have it done.
Ha Matt, I think you should clean all the grease off the machine, spray it inside put the new harness in then the engine, that way you can clear the shop as you put it all back together. Engine sounded good.
Well, you did it. She sounds good to me. The startup was quick and easy. I would attribute that, at least in part, to the thorough job you did of priming the fuel system. We’ll be anxious to see it dig a hole so keep moving forward with next steps and get her assembled. Best wishes for the remainder of the job. 🥸👍👀✅
As much as I’d love to see that z running stay on task my man bust out this excavator let us see the dozer and the excavator running tag team then let’s buy a auction dump truck on the cheap lol because your gonna need one then lets ls swap the z
hey Matt, I'm quite sure you were the only one person in the world surprised that it worked on the first try!!! Excellent job!!!
Congrats
Great Job Matt! It was really gratifying just *watching* that engine immediately start on the first try. I can imagine how good that must have felt for you!
Keep going with the excavator rebuild! I’m hooked! I want to see that thing running. You’re a lot closer than you are farther from the end.
Of course, whatever you decide to work on, I’ll follow. It’s just enjoyable no matter what you do. Your whole approach to mechanics is enjoyable to watch.
That is now better than new, excellent work. Very thorough rebuild, looking forward to the rest of the refurbishment.
Excellent job Matt.
Taking out those blackberry bushes would be a good job for the D4.
you r amazing buddy
I was wondering when we’d see you post again. 👍
Whohoo!
Looking forward to the install and operation of the machine. You have some digging to do? Yes rebuild it.
Hi Matt! Was I surprised that motor fired right up and run sweet? NO! Your work is awesome, your attention to detail is amazing! Great move getting Area Diesel Service to overhaul the pump. A diesels nothing without a good pump and injectors. With your attention that machines gonna be a ripper! Whatever you decide for your next video….im watching! 🇦🇺🍺🍺
Good job! I am excited to see the engine done.
The look of surprise on your face was priceless. You doubted yourself but we all knew it would run right away. Good job.
I know that gave you great satisfaction to hear it running
Congradulations ! that is a mile-stone for the excavator !
Come on, we all know it will start :D
Greetings from Ukraine! )
We of your fan base in Spokane salutes you sir!
Well done
Wow!! Nice job on the engine. Sounds and runs better than new.
Good to see Charlie in full puppy mode 😂
Great job Matt engine sound awesome. Love the channel
Very good rebuild , But keep in mind , Heavy equipment is like airplanes and horses , It eats money !
Its one of those things where if you've done everything right it'll look like you've done nothing at all. always gotta hand it to mechanics that can fully disassemble an engine and put it back together better then new.
That engine PURRS holy cow! As far what's next, honestly the Datsun sounds like a fun side project! Hopefully no complete engine rebuild needed!
Matt, I love to follow your projects. I’m impressed by your dedication to detail. I’ve been working on equipment for over 50 years and I can’t believe how far you’ll go to get it “spot-on”. Most guys say “close is good enough” and it often is, but you don’t stop until it’s all on spec. I’d buy a machine you’ve reconditioned in a heart-beat! Please keep the content coming.
Hi Matt. I've been waiting for the start on this engine. I can't wait to hear it run.
Outstanding work! Kudos :o)
Matt I bet a marine guage would be in Farenheit the ones I've changed always 120 to start 220 end ,Sounds Awesome good working system what a relief I bet right.
Yess, I would love to see you working on the hydraulic pump instead of the car, I like your excavator videos, I don't like cars so I probably wouldn't watch a video on that
Sounds good Matt. An I deal temp for a diesel is 200° but that's very hard to maintain that . Great job .
Congrats on finally getting ur motor to run great. lv this build.
OMG ! It started first time and I guess no leftover parts! Well done.
She sounds great Matt. Great job. Now the rest of the mumbo jumbo starts lol with all those hoses.
She looks sano
That would be a great little jeep motor
Hi Matt, great to see that all the hard work paid off with a near perfect initial run. Great channel
Great work Matt!!
YOU ARE SUPER SMART AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU WORK FOR OR WHAT YOU DO BUT THEY ARE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU.
Omg! Pacific Northwest Hillbilly and CEE released their latest videos on the same day!!!
If I could and you would, I would have you rebuild any engine I needed rebuilt. You are definitely a premium engine builder. You go the extra mile. It is very enjoyable to watch you work.
Rebuild the pump. You have come this far. Your projects are built to last and therefore, have high value.
Do you mind saying what you do for a living. I can't begin to guess.
Good to hear the engine fire up and run so well, Matt!
Wow! I don't think any diesel engine could have been rebuilt any better! You are definitely a professional at this! For regular oil use, I'd use Travellers from tractor supply. Really good oil at a really good price.
Engine sounds great. You should be proud of yourself.
That engine couldn't wait to start well done 👏
Now you have an engine! Dont have to worry about that sucker for a long while
Congratulations !!!! It's been a worthy watch. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic job with the engine. The cost on finishing the engine is kind of what I would expect from a project like this.Not even cutting the labor costs cause that can ramp up the price by a lot. I think you should do the hydraulic motor and fuel tank cause these can become a issue. Maybe install back the some components cause the hydraulic lines and hoses will be a challenge of it's own. Doing something completely else for a change is also welcome in my book.
24:52, THAT LOOK, priceless! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
Pump rebuild would be good to see. In my line of work we only replace the pumps and send them away to be checked/rebuild so it would be nice to see a rebuild. Great work on the engine rebuild she purrs like a kitten.
buddy; you are a good wrench; also great to see a fellow mechanic with attention to detail on every bit of his project.
Awesome achievement Matt! I couldn't believe it popped off like that but then I think of who overhauled it and am not surprised.
That was worth the wait. Hydraulic pump, keep focused and get it all done.
Good job PNH. I have a Chinese two cylinder diesel with a forward/reverse gearbox meant for marine use. It's been in my basement since the '80s. It turns over but hasn't run since then. You give me hope...maybe I'll drag it out and....?
keep up the good work man
