- In this video Adrian and I finish the final assembly of the Detroit Diesel 4-71 and then Adrian adjusts up the injector heights and valve lash and then hopefully doesn't get it to fire up first time.

I still don’t know shit about diesels Adrian but if you start a TH-cam channel I’ll be watching it!
Paul Czernotowycz so will I!
Same. I'd watch and follow in a heartbeat.
Me too!
Same!
I have met a lot of very clever individuals over the years but Adrien's verbalisations are scant testimony to the depth of his comprehension - he's a bloody jewel.
So true! Clever, experienced, and no BS to make himself look good like so many do. The knock against him is I don't know what language he speaks... no idea...
@@kwasg3 i guess he speaks genuine Adrien language... Jokes aside he's a fucking gem :)
I’m still amazed by Adriens knowledge on Detroits. He’s simply amazing. Just goes to prove that the best mechanics don’t always show up in clean uniforms and driving a fancy truck with graphics all over them. He’s a down to earth guy that knows his stuff.
That's because he's a mechanic not a technician. Those blokes have no idea what to do unless a computer tells them. It could be on fire and if it's not throwing a code they will say it's fine.
@@weaselman24 lol that’s so true.
That makes it more relatable to most of us.
@@weaselman24 no kidding!!!
Those are the unsung hero's who keep the world going
Adrien needs a YT channel. The depth of real world knowledge can’t be lost. It will be cool to see the Detroit back in place. Happy New Year!! 👍👍
Agreed I have a Gardner diesel in my boat and there are less and less people who know all the little tips and tricks t working on them but there is an Irish guy who puts up short but informative videos, everything from what size spanners you need to how to test the fuel system to noting that many of the nuts are numbered so put them back where they came from! Stuff that will be forgotten if it's not saved somewhere.
What a Detroit Diesel Wizard Adrien is! No first start up smoke, and man did it sound sweet!
Working on it!
@@popuptoaster Whats the guys channel called?
I kind of have the feeling that Adrian has forgotten more about those engines than anyone else will ever know. (Here, that is a high compliment.)
I think you might be right. :)
Adrian is on the top of my list for blokes I'd like to have a beer or three with
Are you sure he isn't second? ;)
@@DangarMarine I'm sure it depends on you wearing the nipple revealing singlet. ;)
You can not buy the kind of knowledge that Adrian has. Just listening to how smooth and crisp the throttle was amazing. If that doesn't make you sleep better than I don't know what will. Thanks to Adrian for sharing his knowledge.
Couldn't agree more! Will feel very confident at sea now.
HAY ADRIAN !!! START A TH-cam CHANNEL WITH THE EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE WITH DEISEL’S YOU WOULD BE A HIT. And the fact that you don’t mind sharing what you know. I think you would have thousands of followers .
I agree!
Do it Adrien, a channel would be a success I'm sure. This has been a great series Stu, Ta.
Thanks mate!
I Agree. This Information has been so relatable to many other diesel applications. No wonder why brupeg is getting a Detroit!
Keep up the great vids stu.

It would be great to see Adrian and Jennifer go for a run on Renko with you to celebrate the results of all the brilliant work done on the Detroit. Well done everyone.
Adrian did come out on the recent fishing trip we did th-cam.com/video/n7vxiTHwVx8/w-d-xo.html
Adrian seems much more comfortable with a spanner than the fishing rod. What a great day you all had. That's what it is all about.
You know it's the most Australian marine mechanic video ever when it ends with two blokes having a cold coopers and shaving their heads. Fantastic video (and channel). So much good knowledge for those of us that also have old steel boats and Detroits.
Glad you enjoyed it
I'm a commercial fisherman living on Vancouver Island. My boat has a sweet running 653, there are still quite a few DDs getting the job done around here. I had a 471 in my old boat. There's an 83-year-old marine mechanic who lives close by me that knows everything about these engines. He and Adrian would get along well. Nice to have good friends.
Adrien starting a TH-cam channel is the best idea of 2021. Please.
In todays episode Adrian took me down memory lane when i saw the old yellow Diamond Reo parked out the back.when i was 18 i learned to drive a semi in a reo with a 6v53 and a 10sp roadranger..I went on to do many hard miles in the old girl including lightweight road train work with her to the NT.I remember the floor plate used to glow red hot on long pulls because the exh used to be only an inch under the floor so melted boots were pretty common..I built a full tilting front for her and to my knowledge after 40yrs she is still parked in a shed in mackay enjoying her retirement but i can still hear that old gemmy ringing in my ears..lol
I post one of the old girl
On here for u
@@rootsblowersanddetroits7419 awesome Adrian..love your work mate
How weird is it that when you guys go in for a close look I find myself leaning forward to my screen. Very informative. As an ex overnighter on the Hume, got to love a GM.
I do that sort of thing too. :)
'Ground Hopping' the Jimmy was very satisfying. It sounds great. A Cat would never have started without cracking the injectors first.
Yes, self bleeding injectors is a huge bonus.
You should have had him do the engine the first time. Sounds like he knows what he is doing.. Great guy..
Hindsight is 20/20
I hope you get some money back from the original engine builder.
Motor sounds great,kudos adrian
yes, def. ask for your money back
I have been a mechanic all my life and have worked on many Jimmies but Adrian amazed me with his knowledge. That man is top of the line.
What a great way to end a very dismal year!! Adrian should have a TH-cam Channel...between diesel engines and motorcycles he will probably get a lot of subscribers. It works well when he s on screen explaining to another person how things work or fit together etc...Looking forward to it.
Thanks mate, glad you liked it. Lets hope this year is a better one!
You can tell with your eyes closed it's a Detroit Diesel. Good job!
You just gotta love Adrian. He has so much knowledge and skills, the guy is a bloody surgeon when it comes to these engines. I'm a professional truck mechanic and I'm not easily impressed, but this guy is bloody amazing.
Wow, thanks!
Adrian as he goes along the rebuild is dropping valuable info on every part he touches...might remember some but will require rewind pause for sure
Watch this 3 times, gonna watch it at least three more. That Adriane is very good.
Being a mechanic for over 30 years , Adrian has shown knowing a particular make from the 1950 up to late model is priceless ,,good new year guys
Your engine sounds better than it did when you first installed it in the boat. Great video I enjoyed it.
It does!
Not only does he hold a lifetimes worth of knowledge on these diesel engines , he carries it over to us all in a lovely unassuming manner ! ..A real jewel of a guy .
Regards from old Blighty.
Need an action movie with these two. Innocent fishing trip turns into a battle of survival when Renko is attacked by pirates.
Don't give me ideas. ;)
Haha
These guys are my kind of mechanics!!!! No brightly lit shop with epoxy floors and $1000 dollar tool chests.... love it, this is way we worked and still do on all tractors, trucks and farm equipment. We would take the used motor oil and treat mangy dogs with it.
Thanks mate. :)
Adrian the PERFECTIONIST can`t be better than that at what he does best
i wish there was more mechanics like Adrian, so hard to find good diesel mechanics that have his kind of knowledge and passion
Hard to find any mechanics that work on any engines that have Adrian's skills. A true Motorhead.
It always just kills me to see so many videos of people starting engines and not worying about the seals on water pumps etc. It was good to see a hose put to this right away!
It is always a pleasure watching and listening to people who love what they are doing.
But most of all, know what they are doing.
From a Brit, England.
Happy and Prosperous 2021 to everyone!! Have a lot of respect for the Detroit Diesel and it's history. Adrian is real and knows more than myself and all the mechanics I have been around my entire 75 years!
Thanks Lloyd, happy new year!
Has Adrian thought about his own TH-cam channel.
Id like the way he explains how things work an would love to watch him restore that bike.
I can't wait to see you get that motor in that dinghy.
Jennifer could do the camera work and also the post production.
Adrian’s work is amazing. His knowledge needs to be recorded. Very talented and would enjoy watching him work
Of course I am a big fan, not the hair cut or the singlet but his knowledge of his trade. Proud Mum
Awww. I've have to interview you next time about what Adrian was like as a kid. :)
It is certainly agreed Adrian is a DD whisperer, almost as impressive, is his vast collection of 'special tools' without which her couldn't perform his best work. How many years did it take to gather them all, just as important The Guru knows what they all do and how to use them the great effect. A true master of his trade. A quick shout out to Jenny, tirelessly working in the background, lugging around dirty big batteries so the show can go on. Happy New Year everyone.
Happy New Year!
Renko is going to be humming along like a well oiled sewing machine for a long time. Top job mate!
A well oiled screaming Detroit diesel sewing machine.
Hope so!
A synopsis of today's film:
09:00 The Detroit Master and his padawan discuss numbers, injectors and slobbering
12:00 The Master makes a Prophecy about the engine note when the quest for the Heart of Renko is completed
36:00 The Prophecy is fulfilled as the Heart of Renko (after a brief clearing of the throat) purrrrrrrs into life.
37:50 Beer is drunk/Heads are shaved/Anatomy is revealed
A truly awesome end to this part of the Renko story.
Happy New Year Stu, Adrian and the rest of Team Dangar
Happy New Year mate.
That man hug at the end was definitely the highlight of the video!
Adrian looks like a mechanic, for some reason Stu looks like a convict. 😁 Cheers fellas!
Adrian reminds me of my dad's freinds when i was growing up. They were all men of few words and highly skilled mechanics. It felt like home to be back in the garage again. Thanks Stu!
Glad you enjoyed Dennis.
Man this is one hell of a New Years for me.... Interesting to see how he adjust's all the valves...How he also picked up on how your engine had been in a truck....and had been rebuilt using different parts, not from a motor built specifically for marine applications. I can imagine that a lot of mechanics might not pick up on that, and if they did might not tell the customer.....
That Detroit now revs as crisply as a brand new bank note! Stu has taken over its mantle as old slapper with that peep hole singlet! And Adrian needs a “Genius At Work” sign above his door. I’ll subscribe to his channel for sure. 👍👍🍻
Everyone needs an Adrian in their life!
It's always impressive to see a person as knowledgeable as Adrian working on something. I hope he get a TH-cam channel up and running, it will do well.
I hope so too!
Never seen a DD start that easy let alone on the first kick. Adrian is the next U Tube star for sure, We still love you but Stu !!
Thanks Brad. :)
Adrian is a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for having him on your channel.
He sure is, my pleasure!
Adrian has the natural talent of a good teacher , I could grasp what he was saying about injector timing right away and I have never had my fingers on a diesel.
I needed this today, thanks. Great to see two friends working together and learning from each other and having a blast doing it. I hope 2021 is better for everyone on Earth.
Glad you enjoyed it. Happy New Year!
@@DangarMarine To you and yours as well!
thanks stu, nothing better to start 2021 with than a good happy laugh for my brothers from an old chap in 'the states'. fine job mate, love your channel, thanks for all you do...
Happy new year!
Brilliant! In the US Army Watercraft Engineer school, we learned on the 12 cylinder version of this engine. Everything is exactly the same. This was a great refresher for me from school. You've got a new subscriber.
What a series! So cool to see Adrian^2 when his old man features on the previous as well as many other entertaining bits let alone the informative part. A pleasure to watch this guy swing a hammer.
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for joining us on Sunday. :)
Just went back & watched the first start up after first rebuild, night & day difference to now. Sounds very happy now 👍
Exactly what I did and thought 👍
I don't care if it is my imagination but that motor sounds so much sweeter. Its calling out to get back in that boat and work its arse off.
Excellent video Stu, and if Adrian starts a TH-cam channel, definitely let us know, it’s always interesting watching someone that is that knowledgeable and talented in their craft.
Thanks mate. Will do!
That Detroit is now a musical instrument!
Watched with great interest the 2nd rebuild of engine, hope Bus Grease Monkey was watching on. Tell Adrian us shovel head Harley owners stick together, love to see him build his new motor to 100 hp.
Awesome videos on the rebuild. Getting Adrien on camera was a blood great idea. What a virtuoso! So much knowing and so well shared. Thank you to both of you. Thanks for keeping the content coming, it has really helped this year.
That Detroit is purring like a kitten now. You can see why others take shortcuts when to do it right you need the knowledge and the pride in your workmanship which Adrian obviously has in spades.
I would like to contribute to an engine stand for Adrian. Anyone else in? He is a gem. Great series.
Thanks mate, I'll start a go fund me now and promote it in the next video.
Definitely worth a team You Tube venture. You guys do really well together. Adrien is a great teacher
Thanks so much!
So much knowledge and experience locked up in his mind, happy that he is willing to share it for future generations.
Not only is Adrian good at assembly but he immediately notices during tear down that this engine had the wrong piston rings installed, etc. True professional.
Adrian is a good man, definitely needs his own channel!!
A lot different from the first start the man is a genius
Yeah I was thinking the same, when it was started after the first rebuild it smoked very badly ! Even the dog knew it wasn't right and ran off ! The mechanics said it was 'normal' and just needed a bit of adjustment, to be fair they did make it better but it shows that Adrian really knows what he's doing with Detroits !
that was worth the wait, engineering skills and humour while getting pissed, lol you can not beat it, she sounds good, he certainly knows his stuff,
Man ! What a wealth of knowledge and experience ! That man is an Australian Treasure. Good job gentlemen.
Glad you enjoyed it
Not many people can make a detroit sound so good
Adrian is an Aussie legend!
Adrian should be designing engines. He could teach engineers a thing or two. The Man is sharp!
Stu, your a lucky man to have Adrien as a mate. Besides being an incredible mechanic he is also a great teacher ! He explains things very well and also gives you the why answers as well. The Detroit sounds really good, can hardly wait to see it back in Rinko and running well !!! Thanks Stu for this video, being a gear head my self, I really enjoyed this video !!!
Thanks mate, looking forward to seeing it bs k in too.
Big smile on my face. Adrian is an absolute master mechanic. If I were you Stu and had some extra time I would go work for free now and then just to gain knowledge from him. Adrian would be a smash hit with his own U Tube channel. He has a pleasant personality patient and informative. The Detroit sounds very happy. This was a great video. Stu you did we’ll bringing the engine to him. That’s not taking away from your own knowledge and mechanical abilities Stu your very good also. Best wishes and respects sent. 👍👏
So glad I got it to Adrian, so much specialist knowledge required.
It is such a pleasure to watch someone who’s so confident in their skills and is truly capable, and not just putting on a show. Keep on him to start a channel. He has much knowledge to impart upon the world.
Favourite episode yet Stu really enjoyed this one as an ex mechanic myself missed the "shop talk " and learnt heeps
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it.
An epic 4bt build with amazing tips and tricks. Added humor and fun to take it over the top. Adrian is the Yoda of the Detroit. Make it perfect will I.
Adrian, you are clearly a wizard on diesel engines!! The way you fixed all the issues as they came up was great!! Thanks for the Info!! I once owned a GMC bus with a 8v71 in it. Great engine never had any issues with it, water pump -yes, radiator-yes, plugged fuel lines-yes - the engine was strong until I sold it. :)
Adrian is a gold mine of knowledge and talent.
She is alive (again)! That sounded so sweet. So a bigger prop is in your future? This is where we find out that Renko is a semi-displacement hull. :) Happy New Year everyone. Better days are ahead.
Don't forget they talked about the retro-fitting of turbos last week
I hope so!
GREAT video, thank you Adrian! I worked at Chrysler in the Detroit area for 30+ years and am pretty good with diesels, but the Detroit 4-71 videos you guys have done have been a great education. Detroit 2-strokes have always been a bit of a mystery, but they are everywhere. Your video gives your viewers an excellent understanding of how these work.
Adrian is a humble soul! Both of you are so real, makes me want to come down there!
Thanks mate.
He (Adrian) truly lives and breathes Detroit diesels.
What a great down to earth guy Adrian is. He certainly knows his engines and the sound of that Detroit running was so different to the noise it made when it was first fitted into Renko was very different. You have been very fortunate to know him and have him do the work on this unit. Be good to see him on a you tube channel just as he is. Be interesting to see how Renko goes once this is reinstalled back in. Did I miss the prop being welded on? New shaft and inner bearings once the Detroit is run in?
Prop has been welded on since I bought the boat. Hopefully we can cut it off.
Its awesome watching someone that REALLY knows an engine working on one.
My morning. 1 hr of David Wilks and 47 min of Stu. I'm set for quite a while.👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Enjoy!
Thoroughly enjoyed the the rebuild with Adrien. I would be a subscriber to his channel should he start one up. Great work guys.
Glad you enjoyed it
Adrian has incredible expertise. It's great to listen to him.
You make Lani feel so good, You to and so funny happy together. He knows so much. A great mechanic
Started much better this time than the first time. Great when you get somebody who knows what they’re doing.
Adrian is a virtuoso, he had that motor running sweet. Fascinating series seeing the Detroit come back to life. Happy new year. PS, I thought the ring had a use, lol. PPS, Get yourself a channel Ade.
I'm starting to think that the Mad Max road warrior movies aren't fiction but a window to the future. If the SHTF tomorrow, Stu and Adrian will be charging through the post apocalyptic dessert with their googles and mohawks riding diesel powered Harley's!
With the dog riding in a side car
For sure! ;)
Adrian is a rare find, and I am in a similar industry and seen lots who are not the real deal, he is! I have the following suggestions: Take him and his wife fishing and diving on a vacation day! Get him to look over your installation as you get done. Pay him to do final adjustments on your boat after the break in period. Ask him to make a special tool kit you can stow, and spares kit, for anything he (or anyone) might be able to do on the water in the way of maintenance or repair (like those fuel injector lines that crack, that line wrench, the tools you need to adjust everything like feelers gauge etc... Any special wrenches you might need to get into a tight spot, etc ). This way, if you ever need help somewhere, you could even possible be talked thru a problem on the phone if you are stuck somewhere...
Great video series! Thanks!
Thanks mate, glad you liked the vid. Adrian and his step son came on our previous fishing trip (th-cam.com/video/n7vxiTHwVx8/w-d-xo.html) and will hopefully come on more when he has time. Already have the full Detroit tune-up tool kit onboard and plenty of obvious spares to tackle problems at sea!
Great explanation of timing and valve setting process,that’s the way I was taught 50 years ago and still do today,THANK YOU BOTH for a trip back down memorie lane ......
Very welcome. :)
Hi, I think the smile said it all. Second time around but it’s all for a good reason. It sounds a lot better. Happy New Year. 🇬🇧👍👍👍
Happy new year!
Adrian: Pulls out a pressure tank, Stu: "Is this cheating?" haha
Man, that Detroit sounds incredible now!
Sounds a lor crisper, I recall the first time it started after the first rebuild it was quite sick sounding and a lot of black smoke. Zero smoke and good throttle response. Boat is definitely going to run better, first thing I thought of was a good prop upgrade for some more top end.
@@bobbuilder5362 Displacement hull, more digging in, more fuel used, no extra speed.
@@nielsdebakker3283 a higher cruise speed at same rpm is achievable with a tuned prop. Assuming this engine produces more torque at the given rpm. Higher top end may be 0.5 - 1 knot.
Wow, That's running smooth, I have really enjoyed this engine series. What a wealth of knowledge he is.
Glad you enjoyed it
Sucks that you had to pull the engine again, but man Adrian knows his stuff! Seems like the engine is running perfect now, and has a bunch of useful upgrades! Definitely wanna see a video of his truck once he drops the Detroit in it!
There was NEVER a doubt in my mind that diesel wouldn’t start on the first crank.
Have enjoyed this rebuild with Adrian, more than any other episodes. Adrian is amazing and what a team he and his wife make. Keep up the great videos. Happy New Year from Canada!
The jimmy sounded sweet. And no rolling coal. She runs clean. Awesome way to ring in the new year.
Yes, runs nice and clean now, can't wait to get it back into the boat.
The knowledge that Adrian has is priceless. Getting his knowledge on video will be timeless. Future generations will need to intensify study his tapes to learn from his vast experience. Go Adrian!
It is great that he is happy to share his knowledge on screen.
