I watched a video that showed some of the most soothing type videos. Pressure washing was one of them;-) It seems that we like to see the when things get dirty and are cleaned to be bright and shiny and it is very soothing to people. Who would have thunk it? However we were not the ones working our tails off doing the pressure washing. Nice job and I bet you sleep well tonight.
You just can't beat a 2-stroke detroit. There still widely used in the offshore industry as service engines.......'if it ain't leaking, it ain't running'......lol...
Scott! Had to pause the video and let you know this is pure diesel porn. For me, a proper cleaning after a job well done is pure satisfaction. Next thing up is building a proper engine bay wiring harness. Get those Frankenstein wires properly secured and routed away from the warm bits, it will make future maintenance so much better.
You know those old Greyhounds of your vintage were know to be able to haul butt. Folklore in day (shortly before I was born in the early 50's and then a while after my birth) was you could burn a common car of the day up trying to follow a Greyhound. I don't know if that was an urban myth or not but in 2022 your beautiful Lady will still haul! I love the sound of it so much brings back memories of those rascals passing us haulin in our 54 Roadmaster which was no slouch itself Thanks Scott you are a heck of a good person and a joy to watch and learn from. You are so personable and funny with an awesome sense of humor! Keep up the good work and God Bless from Sunny Mobile, AL
Must be internet expert day. Oh well, it's great to see Lenny back on the road. I had no doubt you'd git 'er done. Not many people would attempt that. My uncle Don would have, but he's been gone a while. He used to replace clutches in semis on the side of the road.
Congratulation to you and your son, you finished one of the hardest challenges without proper equipment in shortest time possible at the side of street, at first I was skeptical but then surprised, nice work, by the way, the best part of your videos was and is, cleaning, good for you and your beloved ones.
@Stimpy&Ren Back in the day my dad hauled cars, their fleet was GMC tractors with 8V71 Detroits with 13 speed RoadRangers about 500,000 was average on the first engine, some went longer some didn't. His truck needed an overhaul at about 600,000 miles. When it came back from the shop it ran less than 5,000 miles before he threw a rod. When he called in and told them his truck blew up, it threw a rod they told him he wasn't qualified to diagnose that and to call a road side assistance number. He was wrong it didn't throw a rod, it threw 2 rods and yes the big hole in the ode of the block was evidence that it wasn't being driven back to the home terminal.
Beautiful. I have to admit I really like the Detroit green color. I've always been fond of the odd ones. Everybody likes Chevrolet Orange, Ford Blue, Hemi Orange, etc. But I actually like the Detroit green, GM Corporate blue, and stuff like that a little better. Packard Red is also good.
Heck anything with a clutch pedal these days. it's been 20 years since i drove a 3 speed column shift. Man it was fun though. was a 49 Studebaker pickup
@@BusGreaseMonkey My bad, still love to drive it. Drove over the road for years. Engine looks awesome. My old man had a steam Jenny and a fleet (10 trucks). Guess who steamed cleaned them all at least once a year :-)
We used to paint milling machines that color, it was called Vista green that we purchased from a store in Detroit called Federal Pipe and Supply that’s been in business since 1920.
So pleased to see you get your own bus prettied up and sorted out. You deserve it and I am sure it will make it so much more enjoyable to drive. I must say she sure drives very smoothly
Scott , I love Lenny, he’s not over the top bling , no fabricated extensions etc. he’s original well kept mean machine. Can’t wait to see a turbo on him. Just a suggestion if I may, when cleaning, work your way down not up. Good job all the same.
The freshly rebuilt 322 nailhead in my '56 Buick Special is also painted GM diesel green! It is very close to the official engine green that Buick used on both its straight eights and first V8's for many years.
Loved the spring cleaning - only downside is maybe wires and other things might come loose? Watched so many of your videos and was itching to see 50 years of dirt and buildup gone the same way on all those buses too. Love that you are fixing and cleaning your bus up because its your advert for your service - people will look at your bus as an example of your work and if its dirty or dented/damaged..that's not good. Guess too that too much crud must put stress on the engine etc through keeping the heat in...
Ok i know its a detroit so ive been trying to look passed it but seeing how grimy that 6-71 was had my ocd going haywire, but looks great now!! Haha awesome job on overcoming all the obstacles you had thrown at you man! Did a killer job in the extremely tight time span you had and on top on that you did it in the street in front of your house. Thats old school truckin there man!!! Love the videos keep it up. One more thing im in love with that mci mc5a. Lol
Regarding the double clutching, I've never driven a non-syncho before, but have always wondered if you time it just right, you should be able to pull it out of gear just as you're unloading the trans. One can do this in modern manual trans car, effectively double clutching it as the main shaft will be up to speed. Also, you're supposed to steam clean it BEFORE you get in there and disassemble everything.
Looking and sounding good! LIke you I will tidy up the wiring under bonnet/hood....one day! But everything works! Good job, I know the frustration of working on the driveway/street and being shutdown by the weather!
I've had several 24v kobalt tools for a year now. Im a part time mechanic so they get moderate usage. So far they work great. My only complaint is the drill is really loud. I know that may sound like a strange gripe but the sound it makes is really grating to me.
It looks and sounds great. Love those hot steam cleaners. They really work great. Sometime, would you explain in a video about how the propane injector works and the performance differences between diesel and vegetable oil. I've read that those type of engines can run on a variety of fuels, even used fry oil that has been well filtered.
BTW next job should be some Alcoa wide rims on the back (Super singles we call them) which are great for when you hit wildlife and Cats coz they dont get wedged between the wheels plus less being stuck in the mud or sand unless you like that sorta thing.
Rebuild projects like that never (at least for me) happen according to a schedule. Always something getting in your way. I appreciate the insight you are sharing about the old two-strokes. I've yet to do a resurrection on something with a Detroit 2 cycle, but if I have to, I've got a better idea on what to look for and expect. Especially on preventing run-away's. I witnessed one where setting the injectors went wrong, I thought I was going to see a launch to the moon before the man pulled the panic lever on it. One "old head" told me that those engines are capable of running backwards ... if they, for example, get stalled on a hill and the truck rolls backwards before getting the clutch disengaged. Not very well, but could cause damage if it does for too long, and difficult to shut down. Maybe someone with more insight on them can verify that possibility, as I've never seen it, or had anyone else mention it to me. The only instruction I've gotten for driving one was given to me by a guy that drove during the '70s. "First thing you do after you get in the cab is to slam the door on your own hand, and make yourself mad as he!!. Now you are ready to drive a Detroit! ... "
Hey Scott! Nice to see another great video, PLEASE wear some eye protection when your working on your bus, etc. I have a tenant that suffered an eye injury pressure washing an engine, a small piece of debris splashed and struck his eye and damaged his retina, and led to the deterioration of his optic nerve. He ended up losing his sight in that eye permanently! Your bus sounds strong and hopefully will serve you well for the next 100,000 miles. The destination sign makes your bus PRICELESS. Love the channel, have a happy and safe 4th of July with your friends and family, work safe, see ya on the next 1. Doug@ the "ranch"
@@okjoe5561 Agreed Joe, As a professional mechanic, he's really susceptible to injuries every day. Eyes and hearing are 2 things we all take for granted but need to protect.
Really like your videos I see sometimes when your jacking up buses that your jack is not supported well for the conditions. Why don't you go to a metal shop and have them sher you some steel plates oh maybe about 12" X 12" X 1/2" and have them weld on some rebar handles so they would be easier to handle. Even if the ground was soft or sandy it would spread out the weight better so you wouldn't have to work so hard and it might make it a little safer to. Keep safe and keep the video coming.
When I was a teen, an 'old guy' of maybe 35 told me to use the Hotsy from the top down, front to back, and center out. Road trucks in the early '60s were mostly gas, and sure not sealed up like modern engines.
Reminds me of steam cleaning US Marine vehicles when bringing them back aboard ship after leaving foreign lands. We would leave them hanging from the crane/boom to do the bottoms, then set them down to do the rest. Terrible nasty job in high heat.
The sheer luxury you will experience when you go to do the head upgrade and box n clutch now she is no longer a grubby grubby gal lol Oh and the fresh lipstick (Paint) should add a bit more torque too now she is feeling sexier lol
I love all column shifts! But back in the day when you could get manual cars and trucks left and right after a daily shifting 13sp it was nice to use an automatic. Now I dont have my CDL (medical) and cant find a manual full size truck when I am looking to buy. My older brother (6yrs) had to have me teach him 3 on the tree a few years back when he got a pacer. Cant float gears on a bus? Can you do a detailed walk around all the controls and gages on yours?
Scott, great video as usual. I never imagined watching an engine cleaning could be so much fun. Thanks. BTW, you most likely have given a tour of the interior of you bus. I'm a recent viewer and I missed it. I'd really would like to see how the layout is.
Funny with the 6-71, you really don't need an accelerator pedal. If you had a three position toggle with- idle, 1/2 power, full power-you'd be set. I know with transit buses, it's either floor it or nothing. On my transit bus motorhome now with 8V-71TATAAC, I rarely floor it. I usually just push down an inch on the accelerator for easy acceleration from the stop. With the Allison V730, it shifts at around 1,600 and comes down to 1,100 on partial throttle.
You must have been reading my mind after your test drive video. I wanted to request some video of the column shift. That’s very interesting for sure. Having shifted crash boxes on the floor I was curious to see if the extra shift linkage involved with getting it up to the column would affect shifting speed. It seems to slow the timing considerably. Great job on the rebuild. You must be pleased. Look forward to all your videos.
Man if he did a full Reston outside and convert to a RV this thing would be nice it’s a diamond in the rough and he’s putting that polish on it man it’s gonna be nice
nice. now that it's clean you really see where wire repairs/management, paint powder coat need to take place but i'm sure that will come over time. thanks for sharing :-)
Anyway to make the exhaust "talk" just a little more ? ( those 671's used to sound AMAZING running in the old GM, COE cattle trucks of rural Washington )
Great video bro it's been quite a few years since I used a steam cleaner but they sure do a great job. A splash of paint makes your inframe rebuild look right purdy.
clean the dash and show us you doing it. You have the best most informative videos on U Tube. I need more or I will have to have more bourbon while waiting. I am 76 yrs old and need a lg glass between every video. So get to my friend.
@@BusGreaseMonkey I am a loyal follower and I never said you must do anything but you seem a little quick to pull the trigger when someone makes a comment. I really like your videos for a variety of reasons and your tender nature has not been seen before. I will continue following and drinking some bourbon while i watch as I am 76 yrs. old I am surprised you are that touchy. Please forgive my offending you.
I like a grimy engine. It keeps everything lubricated and rust proofed. Except for an oil pan coated in grime, it makes little or no difference in the running temperature of a liquid cooled engine. An oozing Detroit was actually a blessing in a marine environment.
Done my 02 mustang gt Engine bay like this bunches of times then one time she sputtered till I took shop vac n sucked out spark plug holes!! Try n not spray inside alt learned that lesson to!! Idle control valve is still burnt up I've just got it manual overridden now can't use A/C unless on interstate, valve is over 70bucks so I be junk yard shopping soon!! I need few vac. hoses to!! Cheap Plastic stuff no after 330000.0miles!! Super machine u got!! I would not need apartment if I had bus!!!
she loks really good dude! with a good cleaning and a little fresh paint! should have cleaned her before the repair haha whenever i do major engine work i take it down to the car wash and give her a bath, if it runs ofc.. but thats on duramax engines
You must feel confident, won’t take a pressure wash to anything, it’s it’s leaking but if it’s dry I leave it. Brave on such an old motor. Mind you if it’s yours who cares lol
Looks great I'd have left that valve cover natural too. Show off your new aluminum! You might make this bus too nice for work! That fresh paint nice touch.

I was going to say the same but I didn't paused, so, you win.
yeah you got that right..
Agreed..
I agree with the wiring thing .
Robert Borchert - Yep the wiring could use some love. Easier said than done though.
The dashboard on that thing is awesome. With those gauges slowly replaced in different decades, it's like a history lesson on automotive evolution.
That old bus and this channel have grown on me. Thank you Scott for the ride along. I enjoy every mile...
Awesome 👍 and BIG THANKS FOR THE GUAGE SHOTS!!!!!....the engineering that went into building that bus back in the day fascinates me...
Great job 👍

The engine looks great and sounds good. Looks like she’s ready for another 100,000 miles.
It should run 300,00 to 400,000 on a rebuild, new about double that with exceptional maintenance.

Capt. Beak yes but Scott has already said that he expects to get 100,000 miles before he tears it apart and upgrades it.

Looks Great Scott.. SOO much better.. On to more " Bus Fixin "...
Engine bay pressure wash: The best way to find all those small wiring problems!
Never thought that old Detroit would look that good in green - next step, SEMA!
Washing the Screaming Jimmy Kassbohrer makes it look much better. A couple of chrome exhaust pipes would look good.
Never enjoyed a video of an engine being steam cleaned before today - and I think your bus got a little faster afterwards :)
It probably lost a few lbs of oil and grease. You should pick up at least 1MPH!
Looking really nice! I jumped high when a saw the spark 😂
You should do a episode where you tidy up all the wires and cables and whatnot would look so clean
It looks and sounds great. Love those hot steam cleaners. They really work great. Sometime, would you explain in a video about how the propane injector works and the performance differences between diesel and vegetable oil.

Wow! I thought the end of the video was going to show how you track down a wet component that won't let the engine start, lol. Great job!
Looks great!! Glad to see it running well, I bet the greyhound mechanics back in the 40s/50s wished they had a Hotsy!
This is just a suggestion. The next time you use a steam cleaner or anything loud wear ear plugs. Your hearing is one of Gods greatest gifts.

I really like your videos for a variety of reasons and your tender nature has not been seen before. I will continue following and drinking some bourbon while i watch as I am 76 yrs. old I am surprised you are that touchy. Please forgive my offending you.
Clean up, paint up and love the new sign!👍👍👍
You took off the anti rust protection 🤣😂. Sure glad you didn't have to dry out the points, and distributer. Lol.. All kidding aside. Good job man
I like a grimy engine. It keeps everything lubricated and rust proofed. Except for an oil pan coated in grime, it makes little or no difference in the running temperature of a liquid cooled engine. An oozing Detroit was actually a blessing in a marine environment.
@@wildbill23c And pull of the distributor cap to dry it out inside. Plays hell with the points! Hahaha!
It looks gorgeous!
Bus Clean Monkey - there is something deeply satisfying about cleaning and engine.
clean engine and radiator makes most vehicles run cooler also like the new v/cove much better
I would love to take an old bus like that and convert it into a mobile home/camper

Idle control valve is still burnt up I've just got it manual overridden now can't use A/C unless on interstate, valve is over 70bucks so I be junk yard shopping soon!! I need few vac. hoses to!!

Detroits and Hotsy's if that ain't a mechanical marriage I don't know what is....LOL
Great news!!!! The research is almost complete on a way to convert all blood types to 'O'. Keep donating, though! From 'Russia Today', 7/1/2019 WillyB
Careful with that steam cleaner and don’t get the ECM wet.!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Haha
Those WWII era ECMs are about impossible to find these days. 😃
Extra Cool Metal stuff ECM s
@@creigmacc about the size of a refrigerator and fits in a side bay. Lol
How on Earth did all of you miss the Engine Compartment Motor (ECM)?! It’s practically staring you all in the face! ;-)
Clean as a new penny. Ready for the road.
You must feel confident, won’t take a pressure wash to anything, it’s it’s leaking but if it’s dry I leave it. Brave on such an old motor. Mind you if it’s yours who cares lol
It’s guaranteed to have opened up some old oil leaks that were self sealed with grime.
GM green looks good for another 1M miles. Man you had me worried with the pressure washer and all the loooose wiring.
What a beautiful engine
Love the paintjob!!!!!!!!
Ahhhh! I was waiting for the hot steam. Nice and clean looks great
I have a Kobalt cordless impact and so far no issues in the 3 years I've owned it,..
Looks great I'd have left that valve cover natural too. Show off your new aluminum! You might make this bus too nice for work! That fresh paint nice touch.
A nice fresh coat of Alpine Green will do!
It's a beautiful little bus
