"...take a look with our rear endoscope..." These pearls do not go unnoticed - LOL!
Yeah, I'm stealing that one :)
My kind of startup video. Good choice in leaving the process of startup in because that IS what we want to see. Keep it up.
Everybody needs a friend as knowledgeable as Adrian.
Having followed your progress for the last 49 videos, I think I was almost as excited as you were about the diesel firing up and sounding like a wet dream.
Great job Stu and crew.
I’m happy for you Stu. Not only for having a great running reliable engine, but for having true mates willing to help you along this journey. You are truly blessed. God bless Adrian and his skills.
Thanks mate. I think it is going to be very reliable in the boat.
'Rearender scope' hahahaha. Great post Stu.
Sensei McCall Nice catch!👏🏻😂👍Had to pause it to see if anyone else had the ear?! Here we are! 👊🏻😁🤣😂🤣
@@ladydi4runner - I caught it, just figured it was an _Ausie_ thing - lol! Cheers-
I thought that's what he said lol, came to the comments for confirmation, thanks!
Adrian - what a hero! Hooray for the Detroit ticking again. Puppy cuteness. Lovely Sunday morning!
mumblbee bee Guy’s a diesel wizard.
What a fantastic rebuild. The sound of a well tuned diesel really is something to get you out of bed (in a good way). Absolutely stoked to see the hard work paying off and what a beautiful engine to push the ole girl along with.
Thanks Damien!
The old Detroit pures like a kitten. I wish I could hang out with these guys for a bit. I could learn so much! Great job gentlemen. Cheers!
Adrian is a gold mine of knowledge. You got super lucky finding him to help. First class set up !
Very lucky. :)
Adrians point about the oil in the after credit scene was worth the wait. Great job.
Good info for me doing the run in. That's the sort of mistake I may have made with this engine.
The convo at 18.23....I love workshop banter...... watching this is like being at work
Adrian worth his weight in gold. Great work in getting the Detroit up and running.
Adrian really knows his stuff too.
He's good,, can you keep him,, need more diesel guys like him,
We sure do.
Learned a stack from these videos thanks Stu and Adrian!
Had to watch the video twice, had tears in my eyes the first time. Awesome effort mate.👍🏻
:)
Best smoke machine I've seen EVER. Great job guys.
Thanks Cameron.
And the mighty Detroit roars to life!!!! Children scream and run away, animals cower and satisfied men get a beer and a smoke!!!! A fine day was had by all!!!!! Merry Christmas !!!!!!
Merry Christmas!
The sound of that engine , YES!!!! Amazing , sounds alot different than my 4-53
This guy was really a godsend on that Detroit Diesel!
Sure was.
It sounds great! Amazing how a perfectionists touching and tweaking can make these things sing!
See the latest vid after the second rebuild...the second rebuild done properly by Adrian! th-cam.com/video/WxvefTDAOZg/w-d-xo.html
Wow I hadn't heard that sound for 40 years. When you got it dialed in better it almost brought tear to my eye. I spent many hours around this type motor in the US Coast Guard operating small boats for search and rescue in the 70's. Beautiful music to my soul. We had twins and on the reruns back to base I would lay on the engine housing and sleep like a baby. Thanks mate you made a yanks day with this vid.
Hey mate. I haven't had any history with these motors but I had a very similar reaction. It is such a great sound. Merry Christmas!
The 26'!
Dangar Marine Merry Christmas to you and yours too.
Dangar Marine Merry Christmas to you and yours too.
A sweet and unique sound. Better than a V8 petrol motor I reckon.
When running well, that is a sweet sounding motor
From the comfort of my easy chair, it started as a simple search for a bit of info on the Roots type blower. Although In my 8th & 1/2 decade of life, mechanical things still draw my interest. One of the links took me to Dangar Marine here on YT. Little did I know I would be taken on a journey that would be so enlightening, educational, and entertaining, that I would watch several hours of something I previously not given a moments thought, I will never do, or even need to know.
The 'actors', the critters about the work environment, the unpretentious sharing of knowledge gained over years of experience. Camera work, and editing too. I want to especially mention not having to mute the sound if a kid or other sensitive ears entered the room. Thanks for that. The lack of 'adult' language in gearhead videos seems to be a rarity. I can't express how much I enjoyed every minute of the 4-71 rebuild. When she fired up, I shared your joy. Thank you. Wishing you both continued success.
Thanks mate, I'm glad you've been enjoying the videos. I've met several of my younger viewers at boat shows etc and I would hate for them not to be able to watch along with their parents. :)
Beautiful to watch that careful competence of experienced trades, absolute gold & the true wealth of our country.
It's hard to find the expertise that Adrian has. Great job. Adrian saved you a lot of grief.
He did save me a whole heap of grief. I don't want to think about where things would be at now without him.
Who doesn't love the smell of diesel in the morning? That motor is a thing of beauty!
Having your diesel engine start and run perfect for the first time is like making something come alive. Congrats
Thanks mate!
Amazing how much better you looked after that engine got tuned and running so well. When you started the vid, I thought it was your ghost doing the opening sequence. Glad that motor is running so flawlessly, you've earned this win.
Thanks Dale.
Nothing like the smell of burnt diesel in the morning.... Well done.
Once tuned sure sounds sweet
Fantastic job guys. What a total thrill to see her coming back to life.
Thanks mate.
Woooo hooooo the Detroit lives, so awesome to see the project coming together. Good for you Stu.
Thanks Don!
That sounds healthy , glad it’s all together !!
Wow - first time start, you must be stoked with how that went and then running super smooth once tuned up.
Late to the party but bloody great to see the beast running!
Don't worry about making your videos too long. We'll watch it all. Also, don't edit too much, it's nice to see the rest of what is going on.
Thanks mate.
Video left me with a huge smile on my face. So pleased for you. The Detroit sounds great, and nice to see the gearbox turning too. Huge props to Adrian for his expertise and his way of describing what he was doing too. Now waiting for the great mating of hull to motive power!
Thanks mate. Can't wait to go for the first cruise. :)
Well done Stu and Adrian. Sounds great.
This vid is Aussie heaven. Beer, Detroit's, Subarus, Utes, and both metric and imperial measurements being used.
Love you guys! Great job on that rumbler!
Thanks mate. :)
Great to see first run of the motor after all these months of rebuild. Impressive improvement in exhaust smoke by the Diesel whisperer.
You mentioned not doing much editing for a more like being there kind of natural-feeling video, and you definitely accomplished that with me. With the addition of smell-a-vision (substitute a drop or two of WD-40 and/or your favorite reducer/thinner and you'd take me back in time 50 years or so, when I was taught automotive skills by people like Adrian--who I now regard as a diesel-tuning savant). Adrian with-out-a-doubt has his tune-up sh*t together, big time. That engine sounded oh, so sweet when he finished dialing it in, and without it belching even a tiny bit of smoke, too. (Finding a worthy prop might be a problem, though.)
What a treat it was to hear his informative, matter of fact explanations. Brilliant!
Thanks John, glad to hear you enjoyed the vid. :)
There are still people out there like Adrian that have a wealth of knowledge and are happy to share 😎 I found that very informative Stu 👍
Thanks mate, he was a God sent to this startup.
@@DangarMarine Adrian seems to have gained a wealth of priceless knowledge. Knew this motor like the back of his hand. Adjusting and tuning to factory specs and settings without a service manual. Thats one mechanic I would love to work along side of for a few years or few months. Alot of knowledge shared in this video. Leaving it unedited was the best idea.
Man its really great to see you start that thing up after all this work.
The engine sounds great, I enjoyed watching Adrian work, he really knows what he is doing, makes it look easy
I enjoyed watching him too. He is very accurate and detail focussed. His knowledge is amazing.
Adrian = magician
Tech Tip: If you need to clean up threads that your tap can't reach then buy a cheap tap and weld it to the end of a long bolt narrower than the bore. Works like a charm.
Wow, goes to show how critical a good tune is for proper performance. Never ceases to amaze me how many people spend thousands on rebuilds and parts, then won't even tune the damned thing properly...good job Stu and Adrian.
Yes, seems like starting with the tune is the way to go.
Big shout out to Dean. Helping friends make dreams come true is no small matter.
Unreal Episode!
Looks an Sounds like a Beauty.
Great Stuff DM.
Thanks mate!
Adrian looks to be the real sage of Diesel engines.
He definitely knows his stuff. I'm so glad I found him.
Watching this on holidays in Cape Town Stu...looks like Christmas came early at Mount Kuringai my friend !! Awesome work. ..Yo Adrian.....we did it !
Thanks Mark. Enjoy your holiday! :)
Coopers should be sponsoring you, Stu. Very natural product placement there.
Had the exact smile on my face when she first fired up, glad to see its back in action and sounding great! Thoughts and prayers from this side with the wildfires and the immense heat! Hope you all have a great festive season, can't wait for the adventures that await both you and us viewers in the following year. Keep up the good work Stu. Cheers!🍻
Thanks mate. :)
That Adrian knows his s**t
I'm presuming you meant he "knows his shit!" ;)
Hahahaha
I did yes... Awkward... Correcting (bloody auto complete)
All went really well! Congratulations Stu. You must be very pleased.
Very. :)
Very excited how after all these re building videos it finally comes alive and works awesome!! Great sound, smokes much less than expected.
Thanks mate. :)
That smile made it all worthwhile Stu. Great to see it running so well. Merry Christmas and a Very Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas!
Hahaha that thing sounds awesome. Can’t wait to see it in the boat. That Adrian guy seems like he really saved you a lot of anguish. Good thing you met him.
For sure. Without Adrian this would have been a story with a very different ending.
@@DangarMarine - That may actually be, the best sounding (and, looking) one, I've ever heard!
How good is it to have some one like Adrian to be there with you on this build! Champion.
Must be your shout later.
For sure, couldn't have done it without him.
It is a great feeling the first time you start up a project engine!
Good onya Stu, what a great end to a very busy year. Looking forward to your vids in 2020. Merry Christmas from South Australia.
I had the same problem with that stripped bolt on your engine. I think it got stripped because someone put too long a bolt in that hole and it bottomed out and the threads were aluminum to start with. I noted the problem before i put the head on the engine. I catually tapped the hole with a 1/2-20 then inserted a home made insert which was about 3/8 long with 1/2 20 threads on the outside and the threads of the bolt on the inside. so locktite the thread in the aluminum end plate and make sure that you don't put too long a bolt in. I love my little detroit diesel. I find it a marvel and a wonderfull work of engineering. My engine was made in 1938 and parts for it are everywhere, and mechanics love to talk about those GM 71 series two strokes.
In this case we are going to drip and tap and go up one bolt size, but I like your solution!
Your face when she fired up! It's great to see someone truly enjoy the rewards of their hard work. Been following since the days of the green machine, what a magic moment. Congrats Stu.
Thanks Wayne. It was a great moment. :)
Too many things to like. The raw video of hanging out in the garage. The amazing engine rebuild. The anticipation of more videos.
The dogs.
Thanks Harry! :)
we wait all week for your video Stu , we dont mind if its a long video , editing or not thankyou !
Yay! You’ve made my night!
Ran 71 Detroit's for a year on the Perfume River and Cua Viet River in I Corp RVN..Hearing that distinctive Detroit sound does take me back as a 19 year old Engineman just trying to keep it wired tight. GREAT VIDEO.
Beautiful purring monster! So cool to see it running after all these weeks!
Excellent to watch thanks STU, have a great Xmas n new year's ..
Haven’t got time to watch just yet but thumbs up regardless!!!
Happy days Stu!!
Got to love that Detroit 71 series sound had the 6-71 in the US Navy when I was in
You know he's good, he has a bottle opener ring🍺
He we go .
I was watching tv but stop as soon as this came on.
Wow, nice job, really sounds good! Stu, even with what you know, working with Adrian and watching (helping) him fine tune that Detroit Diesel really adds to the experience level that might be needed when you least expect it! One step closer!
Great bunch of mates you have there! The pup would have got a real surprise if he was left alone to chew on the exhaust pipe!
I really like WURTH products.That DD sure sounds good. Does an old guy’s heart good to hear it. Stu you should consider becoming a traveling DD two stroke repair man. Here in the States most of the real knowledgeable guys are gone. There aren’t many younger guys left that really know those old engines.
I'd certainly like to learn a lot more about these Detroits. They really fascinate me.
Dangar Marine For the most part, just about everything worthwhile to see in America was built with Detroit Diesel power.
Good job,thumbs up for the old man in the beater.
Hey! He's about my age!
@@DangarMarine yeah right lol
Wow Adrian's is an ace in that motor, that motor sounds so sweet can't wait to see that in the boat and chugging along I think we're all going to celebrate when it runs in that boat thanks Stu my day is complete
Thanks mate. Not long to go now!
Well done Stu !! Must be super rewarding !! Love your work
Bloody excellent job Stu , Adrian is a master of his art . So good to see it running like a Swiss clock .
Interesting how everyone moves seamlessly between metric and imperial.
That's us. Give us an inch and we'll take a kilometer. :)
Until you ask how many feet in a mile :)
@@planbeeapiaries nah I learnt that in primary school, way before metrication. I can still speak £sd
Congrats Stu, that smile on your face said it all. Nice to see the detroit ticking like a watch again.
Awesome! Glad she came together no problems!
I miss the sound of the 71 series we had a 3 71 in are boat ⛵️
@robert malis - _*our_ boat ⛵️ (for the possessive, if you like). Cheers-
Stu’s side of the engine is a mess of trip hazards. Adrian not so much.
Congrats on having the 4-71 back running in top nick Stu! It was in sad shape before with all of its corrosion. Great work!
Awesome job in getting that engine back up and running and so clean too. The before and after smoke was very impressive. Nice to see the guys watching out for the dogs so they weren't in harms way.
Thanks David.
SEND ADRIAN TO THE US, WE NEED A GOOD 2 STROKE WRENCH!!!
We need to clone him!
Robert gray love to come over have fellow guru in Minnesota , he has cool
453t in a c chev , utube 453t Bessie
Diesl smoke, color and smell will tell you worlds about what's going on inside the engine.
One of the most satisfying vids in all the land. Cheers on getting to this points - anxious to see it in the trawler!
Thanks mate. :)
CONGRATULATIONS, Stu, the engine sounds great, you must be very excited.
"What a beautiful noise"
That engine looks bloody beautiful. I'm an EV man, through and through, and I deeply dislike diesel, as a fuel (I've tasted it in a previous life as a mechanic *shudder*), and an ICE particulate creation system, but yours looks smart & as clean as can be, after the valve & injector tune-up - how valuable is an experienced & specialist engine mechanic!?
Congrats Stu. Your Detroit Diesel sounds great.
Your lucky to have a guy that knows Detroits, mechanics that know 2 strokes are becoming a rare breed.
They certainly are harder and harder to find. It was great learning from him.
I sure hope all those mistakes you found get addressed somehow; as a mechanic it sickens me to see blower no good: pivot-pin holders backwards: wrong screws: improper bolts: bolt-holes with debris inside........I honestly hope that you are Not on the hook for all the remedial work you had to do.
Also: "rear-endoscope" gets Top Marks! (never heard that one before.....) Good luck mate.
I was thinking the same thing. Seems like the engine machine shop builder sure screwed up a bunch of things.
I’m guessing the machine shop didn’t have much to do with the top end. And some of those things might have been done by old trawler mechanics whose main concern was zero downtime and quick turnaround. After ~40 years of commercial service this old Detroit would’ve seen some dodgy mechanics in its day.
Awesome that Stu has a local expert like Adrian who can spot things like that and the blower issues with ease!
@@ActivityPhoto Scott, The Bus Grease Monkey, who Stu knows has been plagued by the same type of machine shop issues. He winds up having to do remedial work the machine shop was paid to do in the first place.
M
@@mikemullay5622 - I was thinking the same thing and; hoping it was _"old trawler mechanics",_ instead. Though really, there's ever fewer seasoned experts like Adrian and (is it Jim, from Oregon?) for Stu and Scott, to pick up these finer points for these period, Detroit Diesels. This day and age of _quantity over quality;_ I'm not sure that we can expect much more, from the modern machine shops, regardless of the cost. Cheers-
What happened with that screw that looked like it wasn’t long enough?The one that you used the scope on?
Adrian bought a matching bolt and tap one size larger. Haven't done the job yet but soon.
@@DangarMarine
Is that doable without taking the Housing off the Block?
@@DangarMarine that will be one long tapping tool :)
Rear endoscope? Is that some kind of in you endo?
LOL
Where is motion - there is noise. Where is black smoke - there is diesel power!
