I Don’t think I’ve ever rooted so hard for an engine to start!!! Great job. So ambitious under the circumstances
Awesome job. Rebuilding an engine at anchor, without all the special tools.... Amazing
100% agree with Cap
Also check out the channel ... Sailing into Freedom..
@@leadreviewer3257 Plukky's got you going at it, eh?
@@m2pozadLol.. He does I like his channel and i like the way he treats the ocean and what he chooses to catch. Cheers
@@leadreviewer3257 yeh, his rough around the edges, probably makes him so watchable...especially he's virus adventure.
Captain Pugwash suits him.
I never doubted. Billy, you and Sierra are so resourceful. Congratulations on a job well done.
Well done fella quite an achievement, especially in the conditions you had to work in. Congrats.
Yahoo! I have been subscribed to this channel for years, this showed the true side of you Billy..... methodical, determined and a fantastic problem solver - absolutely loved this - regardless of the outcome I really enjoyed hearing how much you learned- the world is better with people like you in it. Btw so glad it started - Winning is everything
You saved a boat load of dollars plus you gained the precious experience & skill of rebuilding your own engine. You will never regret the value of obtaining that skill.
Good on you!
Mechanics really have a lot of respect for Yanmar Diesel engines both the 2GM and the 3GM - excellent motors. I am blow away that Yanmar is such a good company to supply a rebuilt kit for this engine thirty years after manufacture. Volvo does NOT do this...Billy did a very good job and has a good attitude towards this effort. Well done.
Volvo engines the smaller ones are actually Perkins engines and yes you can get the spares for those even after thirty years
@@milkoberben2963 two Neighbours with early eighties two cylinder Volvo's in CS 30's are SOL on parts - mechanics can NOT find the pieces to rebuild those motors... and they need rebuilding...
Volvo blocks probably not meant to last 30 years 😂
@@yeahnahyeah7872 I love my Atomic Four (operated in a fresh water lake). It is only 46 years old and in perfect condition and not only are spare parts available - I have a spare engine just in case. The Volvo blocks are just fine, it is that no rebuild parts are available for these small two cylinder engines.
You either have really good instructions or have done this before. Watching you seat the valves with a stick and tape(?) was awesome!
He said last video he took fundamental shop class in high school
That had to feel so good 🎉😊. I would say that the knowledge you gained is worth so much more than the time saved by putting in a new engine. Just the sense of accomplishment would be worth it for me.
I couldn't think of anything worse than having to strip and rebuild an engine in such a small space, at anchor, with limited resources.
Truly impressive!
I have been in electrical mechanical services for 45 years and watching you work on this motor reminds me of my younger days . The feling inside must be great billy stay safe I know your having fun
As nerve racking as a shuttle launch. Fantastic! Thumbs up to both Ryans.
I had a list of things to get done this morning but when I saw that you had put this out I had to take the time to watch. Great job! About time to get back to the good life for you three!
You talked about opportunity cost for the week of the rebuild. For your lifestyle, the rebuild makes the most sense. People often don't think enough about the value of the lessons learned in the process of doing yourself. To me, the confidence gain, the lessons that can be applied later, the understanding of the intricacies of the engine that may come in handy down the road (or out at sea) are invaluable. Well done, and kudos to your friends who lent a hand.
That's a hell of a feeling isn't it Billy? It gives you the confidence that if anything happens out on the water you can fix it yourself !
The experience is priceless, especially when living the lifestyle your living.. job well done🤙
wooohooo, congratulations! these Yanmar motors will go a long way, you chose the right option to rebuild and not have someone else do it for you
You're not supposed to use any type of silicone on a head gasket, specially a diesel. The diesel fuel will eventually deteriorate the silicone. I'm surprised that wasn't in the instructions for head installation. I must say you've been very creative with your thinking outside the box with the engine rebuild 👍 .
It’s the compression pressures that a diesel engine runs at. Its also the oil and the antifreeze.
Head gaskets are put on dry or don’t bother doing it.
Honestly you don’t usually need silicone on any gasket if it’s all done right.
@@sadqqwwqeq4175 No for the lock-tight, oil is used on rod bolts for torque values.
This is actually very very bad for the engine. It will not run long at all more than likely. It will need another rebuild (if even rebuildable after the kind of failure that is going to happen) correctly this time soon. The liquid gasket will deteriorate and clog your oil intake. I'll let you guess what happens next. Not only that your head gasket will fail in no time. The only thing you put on a head gasket is copper spray stuff made for tiny tiny imperfections. And really no one ever uses that.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That is a real accomplishment! Sierra owes you big time!
Gaining the knowledge learned on this rebuild is priceless. Awesome job.
Billy you are the Dude! What a project. Congrats bud! That was cool to follow. Awesome that all those guys were willing to help you too. We the crew salute them. You have got to be proud of yourself man. So sweet!
Definitely Rebuild was the right choice. Middle of the Pacific, Engine stops, You know what makes it work. You fix. Life/boat saved.
It's not about the destination, It's all about the journey.
Dude you are such a Rock star. Rebuilding an engine on the dock I bet that is a short list of people who can say they can do it, Congratulations.
Fantastic work. Amazed by what you accomplished with your shop manual, some friends, and a lot of tenacity and ingenuity. Congrats!
Your perseverance and ingenuity and calm demeanor during this daunting task was truly inspirational.
Billy this is the essence of your channel and life, You have a natural instinct to learn and teach in the most engaging ways.
That spring move - to get the retainers in there - damn - that was pro level dude - those are TOUGH with the darn tool!
I knew you could do it Billy! Very excited for you. That is a great accomplishment, not too many people in this day and age can say they rebuilt an engine.
Damn Billy! We were all on the edge of our seats on that moment, but you did it sir! I am so impressed that one, you would even try such a huge task, and two, that it seems you did it spot on! Way cool buddy, Way cool!
I wast amazed and afraid as I watched you tackling this rebuild, especially as it was clear that you didn’t know the names of the various engine parts (and therefore left me with the impression that you might also not know exactly how and why each part worked). When I saw you, seemingly so casually, fitting the cam and crankshaft gears I had my heart in my mouth, wondering if you’d lined up the timing marks. I had to search out part 3 to see how it ended for you; I would have been heartbroken if your courage and best efforts did not work out.
But you did it!! Well done that man!!!
I’ve just refurbished a 2QM20 and it took me a damn sight longer than 8 days.
Well done you!!!👍
I was cheering when I heard that fire. Fantastic job
Great job! I'm happy to hear it all worked out and plus points for getting familiar with your diesel engine!
Rebuilding and engine is so much fun...w/a friend helping. Friend and I have done two engines to together (1 auto, 1 marine) and we had a blast. The first one we didn't have the engine in the correct "top dead center" position. We followed the Chilton's book exactly and discovered "top dead center" location listed in the book was WRONG. Oh well, bought new valve train components, rebuilt the head again, and it started on the first try. Still a great time together. I learned a ton from that experience. Good for young man. An experience you will lessons from over and over again in the future. Well done man!!
I don't comment often on videos, but the greatest respect to you on this one.
Not only rebuilding the engine, but to do so on the water, with limited tools, is so awesome!
The knowledge you gained is more valuable than the savings in money, and it very well could save you and your boat one day.
I really enjoyed this engine rebuild episodes!
Hats off to you. I did a bottom end rebuild with my wife at anchor in New Caledonia years ago but it took us about 6 weeks diagnosing as we went and then ordering and waiting on parts. Mammoth effort, well done👍👏
No extra bits in the tear down box, very well done
Billy, amazing job!!
Great job under such difficult conditions and sparse tool. It brings back many memories for myself.
Congratulations on the engine rebuild. Loved the opportunity cost reference!
Cool. I have a 2gm too. This will be a good resource if I ever need to do a rebuild. Great job!
That was no small accomplishment. I’m impressed.
Dude fantastic job!! Mad respect for being able to do that in the cockpit of a sailboat. I have no idea how you were able to keep all that so clean while rebuilding.
I had No doubt you would get it dome and she'd run just fine. Great people you two are. Thank you for sharing your life with us. 🇺🇸🎣🚣🚤
Congratulations on a successful DIY build.
Dude. I have been rebuilding engine since I was a teen. I got to give you props on rebuilding that on a boat in the Caribbean with no shop, no tools and no experience. Not sure how you got that injection pump back in timing. Great job..
YOU’RE THE REAL STUD OF THE SEA!!! I’ve rebuilt numerous engines, and had all those special tools that you needed which makes it a breeze. WELL DONE KIDO!!!
You did a great job cleaning it thats for sure. Its amazing what we can accomplish when we have to. Excellent job and enjoy your endless summer!
Experience is PRICELESS !! Awesome job on the rebuild!!
Congratulations for your attitude! Not many people have the courage to do it by themselves. I'm a marine diesel engine mechanic, there are few things which is not totally right but as you said you learnt a lot, that's is important. I hope it runs for many many hours, don't force it too much on the first 50 hours, change the engine oil when you get 50 hours, recheck the torque on the cylinder head bolts and hope it goes well. Have fun.
Great job on the engine rebuild.
Way to go Billy. Wonderful job. My wife and I were waiting anxiously for this video and whether it ran. Great going.
Great rebuild series!! Show it run!
Great Job!!! You cannot pay for all the stuff you learned. New motor next time! This rebuild experience could save your butts in a bad at sea experience! Impressive!! Enjoy you guys so much!!
Yeah!! I couldn’t wait I was right there with you!!
Thanks for posting and sharing. Sooo glad to hear it kick over and run.
Great Job... made my day!!!! Thanks for showing the engine rebuild...
bet you had 100's of people world wide rooting for that 2 banger to crank and purrr...Congrats on gettin her done!!
Good Long Island ingenuity. Enjoyed watching you go through this process.
That thing was purring when it finally got fuel. What a moment for any mechanic, let alone one at sea. Congrats dude, thats an achievement.
Awesome job Billy! Rebuilding your own engine is so worth it. The learning how your engine works is so important, especially on a boat.
Wow. Seriously impressed. Not many people out there that could pull that off. Your innovation coming up with work arounds with the tools was amazing. Thats got to be one of the only engines to be rebuilt in the cockpit of a boat.
You wouldn’t have footage on how you put the gear puller contraption together? I’ve never been able to come up with a way to to that without an actual puller.
I had the biggest smile on my face when she turned over at the end. So freakin epic. And thanks to Ryan and Sophie sailing for the help. Nice to know the community is always supporting.
I think I may need to show this in my engine rebuilding class. There were quite a few good ideas you came up with on the fly. Great job explaining everything you were doing as well.
I really don't think there is anything that Billy won't try...and succeed at. I caught myself talking to the engine...come on start already! Congrats on the success, I can't wait till the next update!!! Hurry home Sierra!
Experience is priceless. You, sir, are the MAN!
What a FABULOUS set of episodes. Great, great work and thank you for letting us follow the journey
Don't forget to check the torque on the bolts after about a week
Congrats, excellent job. Glad to see other sailors helping out. Cheers, Richard
So awesome Billy that you did that on the back of the boat. I was worried you might drop something in. I think rebuilding the engine was a good move. Save money and get the experience. Now you can rebuild the other one
I LOVE how you did that with NO, Fancy tools. 🤘👊💨. ⛵
Never been so happy to hear an engine going. 🥰
Reminds me of the 60's and 70's when you use to work on every part of you car and engine and not have to worry about any computers and electronic stuff .
Woo hoo! Seriously amazing Billy! Well done!👏🏼🎉✌🏻 Hope she sells fast and for more than you'd hoped. Excited to see what's coming! 😊
I have the 2qm20. I am angry at you guys for not making this video 2 years ago when I needed it. ;)
Woo-Hoo!!! It's ALIVE!!
Well done Billy!!
YES !!! Never doubted you for a second. Well done.
Yep, great job!
Congrats! Job well done!
Awesome Dude, experience you can exchange for nothing else. Like you were saying... you can now "see" those engine parts doing their job when you hear the engine run. Congratulations on your rebuild. :)
Knowing your engine in and out . that is key to fixing it when your stuck in sticky situations .Such as high seas and a bad storm arising not knowing a thing about how it ticks. a story my mentor told me about to this day when he fixed one on the fly in rough areas.
Congrats! Your hard work paid off.
Nothing beats direct experience. Good on ya! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Congratulations! The engine start was awesome!
Seeing my 2GM Yanmar as I never have before.. love it
Great job !!! I hope this series is your most watched.Another 30 yrs of running
As an avid DIYer, I'm just blown away what you accomplished in this project. I always laughed every time you said: "There is a special tool for this, but I'm going to..." It's challenged me to be more creative in my problem solving instead of just buying the "special tool."
Just awesome! you can tell that you had some help from some good friends!
Fantastic. I have the 2QM and you give me confidence to try something similar, thanks.
Great video. Hearing this engine start up brought tears to my eyes. The sound of it brought back some great memories. We had a 2 GM in a 73 Tartan 30. I don’t know how you kept track of all the loose parts, but great job!!!
That’s awesome Billy! Great job!
Awesome! Great success! Thanks for sharing!
Well done. The experience and confidence achieved is worth $5k. And your moral and physical support of friends is priceless.
It’s alive!!!! Great job Billy
Good job Billy and your awesome friends.
Absolutely awesome Billy! That is an awesome sound. Fantastic work for a boat tree mechanic.
I’m impressed...love the can do spirit!
Great job on the rebuild Billy.
Congratulations. Educational in many ways. Well done!
Great Job ! Instead of buying a new one you just mastered the art of motorbuilding and whenever somethings wrong you will now how to fix it.
The experience and knowing your engine is priceless you will have that for life and you can apply it on any engine
