- In this video I go an visit Adrian at his yard and go through a water pump and oil pump rebuild. He then comes onboard Renko to look at a problem I am having with excess oil. To solve this we suck some oil out of the sump.
If you have a Detroit Diesel and would like Adrian to look at it his Business is 892 Trucking.

Never ever tired of watching Adrian’s work and explain things. What an absolute pleasure to watch him work. Please, tell Adrian we appreciate his work! Thanks Stu!
Will do!
Is it just me or could anyone else spend weeks watching and listening to Adrian at work? Is there ANYTHING he doesn't know about Detroits?
He certainly knows his stuff when it comes to these engines.
Just imagine the conversations between him and Scott (Bus Grease Monkey)! :-)
@@chrisskelhorn5727
I couldn't think of the conversation between Scot and Adrian.
I don't have the extra to afford paterion moneys and waiting a week or more I'd foget my question 🤔.
What a nice bloke that Adrian is, pretty rare these days to find a "old skool" mechanic who knows their shit and is willing to help you, most just want to empty your wallet, well done Adrian
He is a great guy. I'm really lucky to have been introduced to him.
I was thinking much the same thing. Fellas that go above and beyond and whilst they might look a bit rough around the edges, they see you know nothing, but are wanting to learn and they do their best by you and then don't charge you an arm and a leg. I worry about what's going to happen to the industry when these guys (and presumably girls) move on and we're left with the new blood.
He has been helping me via messages with my 6v53 rebuild. I am very greatfull for his knowledge and help.
Always amazed by how much knowledge the mechanics have that they can spot small little differences and know that something is not right.
& the money we spend on tools.
Adrian seems to be a top, top bloke and appears to really enjoiy sharing his knowledge with you. Good guys are so hard to find and I think you have struck Gold with him. All the best Stu, and keep up the good work.
Couldn't agree more
Thought for a moment the Detroit was needing heart surgery ... Pulling heads to repair the ring problem! Adrian is so experienced! It's good for you that he has been working for you on the Detroit.... Last of video, sounds encouraging.... Yes!
Second half onboard brings back old memories. Similar diagnosis... from my own Diesel Master ... he's a keeper. no black smoke happy diesel.
Still watching and with much enjoyment. Keep it up mate and hope the hand feels better.
Thanks 👍
I rebuilt My detroit 4-53 14 years ago it has not smoked spit or leaked since , and I was giggling some things on my 6-71 and this video did pop up you'll be glad to know mr danger
Glad to here your 4-53 has been running so well! :)
Just wanted to thank you like so many others. I bought a non running boat with a mercury 115 tower of power, couldn't find any boat shops that would touch it. I never worked on an outboard before. Got it running like a top in less than a week. She is a screamer!! And it's all thanks to you!!! Hello from Colorado.
Nice work! Glad the videos could help you. :)
Adrian is a great fella - I love seeing him at work on Facebook
Great to see the master (Adrian ) at work. He has a huge knowledge and it shows. Great video.
Couldn't agree more!
Really good to listen to someone who knows their stuff
Marvelous to see such a Detroit Master at work. It's like watching the shortest line between two points in action!
Adrian is what I call a true mechanic, such a shame you did not meet him before your rebuild Stu, but know he will sort it for you. Plus side top bloke to have a beer with and discuss all mechanical 👍
For sure, I really wish I met him earlier.
A small tube for sucking oil: the outer tube of electric line cord. Just pull out all the electric lines from it
Ill bet you've never tried to do this on any substantial length of wire.
When I was an engineer in the Merchant Marine I worked with every thing imaginable. Some as small as 2-71, 4-71, 6-71, 8-71. Larger like the EMD 645 series 20 cylinder, Alcos, Caterpillars, Delaval, and finally huge monstrosity like the Sulzer and many others. The 2 & 4-71 were used a lot to power pumps on ocean-going barges. Definitely enjoying watching your Channel!
Thanks mate, glad you are enjoying the vids. :)
More reason why I want to visit Australia. The fierce freedom Adrian demonstrates while being so kindly, imparting his vast knowledge of Detroit diesels.
Adrian is the reality of being an amazing source of tips on how to fix older Detroit diesel engines, and his unsurpassed professionalism imparted outback style. These golden nuggets combined with his humor makes an extremely entertaining video.
Adrian has so much experience he's a real asset. I think I saw some new safety boots Stu good to see you have upgraded! Hope Dotty is OK Noel (my rooster) sends his regards. Ingat all.
I hope so too!
I know NOTHING about diesel engines but man did I learn a lot, GREAT VIDEO!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Washer dropped off the Brass Impeller @ 8Mins : 48 Secs in...but i'm sure this will have been copped possibly right away or later with refitting same...during Mechanical Seal replacement and the refitting and boxing up of the impeller to the shaft.that guy has some skill set loved how he marked his screws ,referencing same...
I worked at Greyhound 45yrs ago and they were all Detroit powered. 6V and 8V 71s..They ran the Silver Eagles, Brisbane to Melbourne non stop..Never had a breakdown, because they were maintained. Governed to 1950 rpm they would go well past 1.5 million miles..We always had an rebuilt engine ready to roll..All run and tested..It was usually just the blower worn out, made them down on power..
Great video Stu. You're lucky to have such an amazing and knowledgeable guru like Adrian to help you out.
Great stuff as usual.
Blasphemy! Handing a Detroit mechanic a metric Allen Key, lol. Glad the old girl is running right another rebuild would be heart breaking. Rock on.
Like that truck conversation.
That sucks that your 20 hour Detroit has got issues, disco Stu. Adrian will help ya get it sorted!
Glad to see that lowering the oil helped out!!!! Always glad to see the videos it made our day!!!
Thanks again!
Cheers to you guys, woulda like to have showed up with a case o' frosties.
The art of hitting it just hard enough and no harder... skills born of practice, and Adrian's clearly very comfortable there.
Thanks again Brother.
I hope you don't give up on your 4-71. Once you get them right they last a lifetime if used correctly. I've repowered my 2009 Ford F350 with one and am currently rebuilding another for a compressor repower. Great engines.:)
Not giving up on it, just giving it a bit of needed work then straight back in, running again by Christmas. :)
@@DangarMarine Awesome, looking forward to see back in business.:)
Thanks Stu and Adrian!
Welcome. :)
Mate a good mech and bloke like Adrian a very rare
I know with all 4 stroke industrial diesels you must use break in oil now or they will be oil burners. For whatever reason the removal of zinc in oil now not only wipes out flat tappets but prevents ring seating. At the company i work for now we do 4 hour, balls to the wall, bollard pull, break ins. Or 4 hr dynos or 4hr load banks....full load. Before using break in oil and long duration bresk ins...there was a multitude of redo work for oil consumption.
Excellent video, have been looking in the US for an Adrian type to learn from. I have a guy near me, but he does not have the temperament to teach like Adrian has. That’s a real treasure, there are quite a few guys still out there that know this stuff, but many do not want to bother to teach it.
Gino's Garage, LLC Bus Grease Monkey- only works on Detroits.
What a good friend to have Stew. Cool video.
Adrian needs to have his own Utube channel, brilliant.
He does!
Wow the quality of the new camera. What a difference!
Another great offering Stu! Adrian is superb, what a master at his craft.
We're all hoping that the ring will be freed, your hand is on the mend and Dottie is up and about with the other girls soon.
You and Adrian are on my list of heroes now.
Thanks mate. :)
Great Video Mate Like Always Straight to the point...hope Your Hand Is Healing well....🙋🙋♀️🙋
@7:48 always handy to have a range of persuasion tools in the work shop
Don't get the metric and imperial persuaders mixed up though, easily done !!!
I do hope Dotty is OK - she looks so cosy in that basket
I use to work in a shop that specialized in Detroit's. We had books that told how to repair everything. They seemed to have a tool for everything on those engines.
Kent Moore thrived on DDA special tools
Thanks for all your uploads Stu and please thank Adrian for sharing. I'm typically a hands on guy as I would imagine all decent mechanics are to begin with....but I have to say it was easy to listen and watch the work. I just started a mobile welding and mobile marine repair biz and this may come in handy very soon. A friend has a boat with twin 60's that need some attention. It's usually sooner than one thinks but you know that already! Stay safe and cheers
Very welcome. :)
Dotty, get well soon!
Hey Stu. Another great video. Really good to listen to Adrian who clearly knows his s#%t.
Those mechanics like Adrian are very rare these days!
Glad it was overfull oil and not in need of another teardown!
Is it just me or is that new impeller absolutely beautiful :)
You and me both!
Sorry to hear about Dottie as well as the stuck ring. I would think the shop the did the rebuild would take care of that. Obviously it means pulling the engine and a lot of work for you, but I think they would stand behind their work and sort that out. Good luck man, I can't think of anything that sucks more than having issues on fresh rebuild. Very frustrating.
Thanks mate. It is a bit frustrating but should be fixable.
@@DangarMarine That's one of the reasons I love your channel so much Stu. You have an extremely good attitude toward running into problems. I have no doubt you'll get her all squared away and back out on the water soon, all of us are pulling for you.
Thanks mate. :)
Nice Jimmy background too!
G'day Stu that was interesting it shows what happens if you put too much oil in it the same as any engine really. He knows his stuff but he seems like a good bloke to deal with, your thumb seems a lot better your moving it which is good, I thought listening to him was better than the bloke with the busses anyway I glad for you Stu that the engine is in a good state and it's running better. Sorry about one of the girls feeling poorly I hope that she improves. Watch you Stu makes me envious and I would love another boat if I was healthy. Anyway mate good to see you take care and stay safe John
Thanks John, Adrian is a great bloke to have on the project for sure.
Stuck ring sounded bad too?
Hope Your Chook picks up.
Adrian, what a classic Coghead, wish We had more like Him.
Great Show DM, Prayers for Dotty Mate.
Anyone that takes their chook to the vet should get a huge thumbs up.On Ya Stu
Sorry to hear about Dotty, hope she gets to feeling better!
All the best Dotty, we are all rooting for you!
Oh, yes, diesel. It runs, good! ;-)
That Ford is a true beast, I love it!! Old mate needs a chip fryer for the pressing on the bearings
It is a bit of a beast, I can't wait to see it up and running!
Hope the Detroit’s alright! Keep us updated, Stu
Never worked on anything diesel but it was very entertaining watching this... hoping for more!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it. :)
May GOD Bless You All Always Amen MGBYAAA 😎 Good night sorry to hear that.
Thanks Michael.
Great job with oil level bet you are happy Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
When I saw Adrian peering over the rocker cover of your Detroit Stu, for some reason I immediately thought Ha! A Bilge Bunyip!
Good luck Dottie!
Always great to watch a seasoned pro at work Stu. Thanks for that one.
Glad you enjoyed it
Dangar Marine quite a lot actually. Two v6 detroits were what were put in the U.S.NAVY pbr! My absolute favourite boats.
Great video Stu. Good to see Adrian at work, he really knows his stuff. Hope Dotty’s ok, look forward to your next update. Cheers for now mate... ;-}
Thanks mate, he sure does!
Such a very cool workplace he has.. A very nice video... Looking forward to your next one.. 🙂👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Too much oil can cause all sorts of problems. I remember one time I was at work and a lady had her oil cahanged at Walmart. Our shop was 10 miles down the road. They didn't even drain the oil or change the filter. They filled it up to where it was 4 inches over full. The engine was shaking, low power. I drained 3.5 gallons out of a 1.25 gallon system. Needless to say, she wasn't happy. But it's amazing what extra lubricant can cause.
I remember when I was a spareparts salesman back in the 1980's and a fresh off the boat bloke came in & wanted some engine degreaser as He had been knocked back at a rego inspection. I sold Him 4 litres of the stuff and He asked if He could use the hose out the back, I said sure, 20 minutes later he came back in & said His car wouldn't start, We went out the back & He had poured the degreaser into the motor through the filler cap in the rocker cover & then stuck the hose in it.
Nice bloke, and the best luck with Dotty 👍
Thanks Stu I’m so not mechanically minded but I found that fascinating what knowledge! And having chickens myself I hope nothing seriously wrong with Dottie
Thanks David.
Loved the video as usual! Hey - new motto!!! "When in doubt...Sikaflex!!!"
Awe poor Dotti. Looking forward to the next update.
Used work for MTU Detroit Deisel years a go. Now called Penskes Power Systems. Amazing office and what they work with.
I was an electrician in their Adelaide Australia workshop for over 20 years.
When I started it was called Detroit Diesel Allison.
for smaller areas take a straight piece of stainless brakeline and insert into flexible pump tubing and tighten with a hose clamp
This is just super cool. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you liked it!
Wow that dude is sharp on Detroit's, he could make a ton of money here in the states following some of the want to be bus mechanics around fixing their screw ups.
He certainly knows his stuff.
Thanks Stu, nice to watch while still off crook
Just love that clean engine/engine bay!
Me too!
Lucky that was a easy fix work out well 👍😎👍
ADRIAN WILL GET IT SORTED STU stay covid safe mate as we need your vids to keep coming cheers dunc
I certainly feel much better knowing he's there to help. :)
Hey! Oshkosh Truck logo! I'm from the Oshkosh, WI area, always interesting to see a local logo in distant lands!
Very cool!
Aww wow any jobs going in his place, would love that 😋
Too much oil or rebuild the motor? Let's go with option A. (Whew)
Awesome as always Stu,thanks as always.. Hope "dottie" is ok
Thanks David, I hope so too.
It's amazing to me that people have the nerve to imagine Stu has time to diagnose their personal engine problems. He's a YT content guy now, not a neighborhood OB mechanic.
Found the same thing with my 6bt Cummins, I run them 1/2 to 1 qt low they sound happier and no smoke...they have 500 hrs on them
Fresh post, nice.
It must feel nice to just be able to get aboard Renko and go someplace.
For sure. Having the boat useable is a major change in the project. If I hadn't broken my thumb we'd be diving by now. Oh well, soon!
nice another vid thanks mate... get well soon
Thanks 👍
Get well soon Dotty xx
Feel better, Dottie!
Love your chameleon sweater.
Hi Stu,
Adrian is an absolute magician with the Detroits, and he is a good teacher to boot - a rare combination of virtues.
I would be making sure Adrian is routinely resupplied with slab or two of his favourite ale.
We all wish Dotty a speedy recovery. She was pecking only half-heartedly at the juicy smorgasbord you laid out for her. Something's not right.
He sure is Paul. Yes, I fear is isn't well at all. We'll see what the vet says soon. I hope you guys are all okay with the east coast low. The forcast looks like it is going to hit Coff's hard.
@@DangarMarine Yes Stu, a forecast 40kt breeze and six metre seas are enough for even the saltiest Coffs Coast fisherman to reconsider a trip out with the tinnie tomorrow. The breeze is getting up as we speak.
Definitely gonna subscribe to your channel
Thanks mate!
Looks like your hands are much better now, but sorry that Dotty isn't feeling so good! Wish her well for me please!
Good video Stu! Thank you! :-)
Thank you! 😊
If you met this bloke in a bar, you wouldn’t know he was a professor in Detroit diesels for at least 30 mins. Why do they always handout Honory professorships to people who don’t have a lot of skill in things and this guy quite obviously deserves one.
I assume Adrian is going to do something about the stuck oil ring and possible water leak between the head and block. Reducing the oil capacity won't make any difference to those issues. I had a bit to do with 671's many decades ago and a stuck oil ring in a newly rebuilt motor is a bit of a worry. Love your videos and "chook reports"....
He said as much in the video.
I love reading the word 'chook' I learned the term from Maggie Beers (aussie chef) and we use it all the time. We live in the US.
@@TechGorilla1987 I learnt chook from Joe Mangel on Neighbours (the Melbourne-based Aussie soap. Stu lives in the other Aussie soap location, Home & Away)
And I have no idea about chook
If the ring is not broken she's just just giving the false reading
I was blowing oil out my airbox and stack when I was using a 30w oil, switching to a straight 40w fixed that problem.
Thanks for another video Stu. Can I make a suggestion. In vids like this it would be awesome if you could freeze frame when he talked about the rust line etc and if you could circle what he's talking about. My non mechanical brain couldn't see anything. Keep mending that hand!
Great idea. I'll look at doing that next time.
Lol. Love the jumper Stu. Very Freddy Kruger-ish
Wasn’t so obvious when I put the newer style seal on the old shaft with the impeller kit, it all seemed to fit nicely but would weep past the seal when sitting. When running it sealed up but was on our trencher so it sits most of the year.
All useful info Stu..
Glad it was helpful!
Love the video. I wish I could say the same for the music at the beginning.
