The cleaning guy and the cook found themselves in a bit of a situation while I was away in Europe... So they made a video!
Bear with us on the audio/video quality... these two boomers did their best lol! 🤣

Excellent. Enjoy your time together.
It's a perfect video. Have fun on your trip.
THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB BETTER THAN THAT LAZY MILLENIAL ON VACATION. GOBBLESS

They did awesome. How's the new shop coming along?
Best video you’ve ever done by a mile. Bravo. No Eurotrash needed. Just kidding
In today’s world finding a machinist that would be willing to do a fix like that is impossible. I’m glad to see there’s still some old school machinists that can think out of the box. The people in your area are very lucky you are still working and your son is learning from you. Merry Christmas and a happy new year
Indeed is such a simple but clever fix. Nicely done !!
The cleaning guy needs to open his own shop. With those skills. He could run the boss out of town.
Maybe he could name the business after himself.
It is his own shop
It appears to be a case of OVER-CLEANING...wearing a hole through the cast iron...usually caused when the cleaning guy is left unsupervised.
🤡 you have a point!!
LOL... the cleaning guy is just too good
Excellent repair for a cleaning guy!
Thanks I really needed a LOL 😂
🤣🤣🤣
As soon as the cleaning guy says I have never done anything like this before, my interest went up immediately! I reckon this guy is so good, he deserves a promotion 😂 Thinking outside the box is real engineering at its best.
Great to have Jim host his own episode -- he's got a lot of hard-earned wisdom! +1 Like
The "cleaning guy" and the "cook" had me rolling on the floor laughing. 🤣 Maybe it's about time for a promotion and a raise. 😁
You kids did a great job! Another 40 years and you'll get the hang of it. Some day, maybe your name will be on the side of the building!!
You have to admire a man not afraid to use “JB Weld” filler when prudent! Your son is fortunate to be learning the trade from an experienced machinist that can think “OUTSIDE THE BOX”! You’ve done well Obi Kenobi!
The people who. Think outside the box. Problem solvers. Make the world go round.
@@timrankin8737 No it isn' t, its the :Pelosi's and Maxine Watters who make the world go round..... Round the toilet bowl.... LOL
Loved the tongue in cheek sarcasm.
Loved the brilliant level headed repair.
I'm glad you guys are in business and sharing your experiences with us.
I used some JB Weld on an aluminum housing on a Compact Utility tractor. The bolt hole was broke out. Worked great and still is going strong 12 years later!
That's what 40 yrs of experience will get you. Awesome and creative fix. 👏
This was awesome, smart fix and funny delivery. The Cleaning Guy and The Cook should do at least one special episode each month!😂
It’s good to see the cleaning guy and the cook getting some screen time. I hope the boss approves of the repair, because it was amazing.
Excellent job, you had me a tad nervous drilling that big hole in the top. It looks just fine, the JB weld was a nice touch. Thank you, Jim and Mrs. Jim
How would heat expansion affect the repair? Would the block and repair expand at the same rate?
@@Adam-vb2dx well the cylinder head allready has plugs for coolant, oil pressure sensors ecc. So i doubt it will cause failure
@@Adam-vb2dx Heat expansion would have little or no effect on the repair on a cast iron block. Steel plugs would definitely loosen in an aluminum block since the metals expand at a different rate. Ask me how I know! Those tight plugs are not going anywhere.
Its great and you and Mrs Jim filmed this and put it out there. Thanks for sharing.
Great videos as always. I can factually tell you JB Weld will seal a cracked #2 cyl end of the exhaust manifold, on a 1982 Ford 351W, and last six years. As an everyday driver in the midwest. JB Weld is amazing stuff.
Gotta say, the cleaning and the cook did a great job!
Couple more years an old mate can finally come off the broom with this kind of forward initiative! Fantastic vid learned a new skill.
Hey Mr Cleaning Guy, you should have no worries about keeping your job. I think all the subscribers have your back on this one. Well done! And to you and The Cook, awesome video. Great camera work, excellent narration. Love the very dry delivery on the sarcasm; perfect.
Nicely said Chuck
That's a genius way to fix a casting pin hole flaw. I'm very impressed!
That is hilarious, Jim! Your family sense of humor, quality of workmanship, and interesting videos always make my day.
I was starting to doubt you were a cleaning guy but then I saw you use that vacuum. That vacuum usage is clearly work of a professional.
Three cheers for the cook! Another good character for the story plot!
Super Hero Cleaning Guy and his trusty side kick the Cook once again come to the rescue!
Awesome repair Jim. Guess the last 40 years not been a waste after all.
Not many would attempt a repair like that never mind pull it off like a BOSS!
You and the cook did a great job I guess after 40 years of cleaning you pick up a thing or two.
Congratulations to nick and his bride my they have a great life , like you and the cook
Jim is a professional. Makes it so easy
It is an honor to watch a master craftsman at work. Hope you guys have a safe and fun 2023.
Kudos to the Cleaning guy for demonstrating the initiative to do conpitent repair work. I worked in the automotive field for 35 plus years in both cars, trucks, and tracked vehicles in the US Army. His skill and expertise are to be commended for saving a cylinder head. That had issues that may have been masked by the casting issue before the engine takedown. Ultimate you probably found the root cause of the problem...
Good job Clean up guy...
I love watching professional machinists ….. u sir and your clever disguise and having a supermodel by your side nobody’s falling for the cleaning guy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 I enjoy this channel so much your wisdom and your passing on to your son is priceless also having a great cook isn’t a bad thing you’re a wonderful family keep up the great work in 2023 love Your channel
Cleaning guy my foot LOL Looks like a solid pro repair to me, definitely way more solid than that flawed casting area ever was even when brand new and more of a sure thing than any kind of attempt at cast iron welding that may have scrapped the head.
That is an easy braze repair area. Odds of cracking the head are half of what they were with this repair, the force those pipe plugs exert on the surrounding area is very high. Cast iron can be brazed and welded successfully. It is a common skill. If you do it wrong then yeah there is a chance of cracking. I would expect an engine machine shop to either be able to weld or braze cast iron or know of a reputable shop that can.
The diesel engine shop that I cut my teeth in back in the mid 90's had a welder that we used who was in Cleveland Ohio, 90 miles from us, he was good and they never had a failure. If a customer had a cracked block and wanted to save a lot of money that welder was a safe bet, if he wasn't confident it would hold or be a good candidate for weld repair he told you so.
The cleaning guy is getting stronger……😂
One of my favorite channels
Loved the cleaning guy throwing shade at The Boss. Can't wait for the retort!
I’m a so called tapping expert, yes pipe threads included. Your tapping little by little is excellent work for the cleaning guy. The Boss will definitely be impressed. Soon you my work your way up to engine porter. I love your channel and would consider trucking my engines to you. No matter our ages, deep down we are all gear-heads. Peace✌️
Magnificent repair. Customers never see this part, only the bill and complain. If they could see everything from start to finish they'd be shocked that it isn't actually more. They never seem to understand that there is so much mental work that goes into repairs.
I ran into two pipe 90s over the years with pinholes in them. One was hidden under a house (1977 or so) in a blind 90 deg spot and it took us a couple of days to finally get soap smeared around far enough to get bubbles. Lo many years latter I kept getting a faint whiff of natural gas in a boiler room and the good news was it was open though it took me some time to fine that one as well. But I was ready for it as I knew then it could happen. Well done Jim and wife (she had to be the inspiration!)
What are “two pipe 90s”?
@@ellieprice363 90 degree bends maybe?
@@ellieprice363 most likely cast iron pipe elbows in gas lines.
Jim you sure are a gem in this throw away society👍🏽
Glad to see the cleaning guy getting more experience. Maybe he can run his own shop one day.
Reason 216 to listen to the cleaning folks. They’ve seen everything and just know things...
Good job to the cleaning guy and also to the cook. Way to hold down the fort while the boss is away. Lol. I like his decision on the head, seemed smart and long lasting. A lot of guys might have scrapped it
Great work by Mum and Dad. Static camera, mum on the 2nd cam, audio synced and cutting between shots in the edit. If they filmed and edited this all by themselves I'd give the cleaning guy and cook a raise 😉
This is video gold. The cleaning guy and the cook.😂😂😂
Love the commentary cleaning guy! Glad to see some light hearted antics for someone with such skill!
Excellent detective and problem solving !! The cleaning guy should never have to worry about being fired. Good Man !!
Nicely done repair on the head. Quality repair. Your Son should be proud of you
Seems like you handled it well while he was gone, he should give you a promotion! And probably a good raise too!
The 'cook' did an excellent job "making movies"...! It makes me happy to see a family working together...! I wish I could taste some of the 'cooks' food though, just from your review of it... Thanks for sharing and keep up your awesomeness...! Don't stop being yourselves...
Wow! What a find and save. Definitely an outside of the box repair and one that has integrity to last. Not a bad video shoot by the cook. The cleaning guy has skill and wisdom. Nicolaus should keep him around and pay for that tap he bought.
Jim, I hope your boss sees and understands your value to the company!
This video was just amazing to watch. Thank you!
This was an incredibly clever approach to salvaging this block. Well done!
Nicely done. 30 years ago I would have used JB for a thread sealer. Today I'd reach for a Loctite product. Now I sit here and wonder if my older repairs have held up better.
That JB Weld is only good for up to 550 F. J-B Weld 37901 is good up to 1000 F. Better than that would be VersaChem exhaust sealer that goes up to 1500 F.
I just love the way you go to another level and fix it! Most people would try to weld or braze that and end up making it worse. I've never seen that in a head either. Gotta be 1 in a million nice work! You need a raise...
Happy holidays
A true mechanic fixes the problem, not just change a part, I have made such repairs and it's good to know I'm not the only one. Many would have scrapped the head for one pin hole
Love the "cleaning guy" thread throughout your videos.
Congratulations on your wedding.
See you in the next one.
5 minutes ago I started watching the shorts, and thought I'd have a look at a full video. Mate, I'm glad I did, that there is how a tradesman fixes an issue, love it. Cheers for keeping the old iron working. 👌
Well I really enjoyed that! Thank you Chief Cook and Bottle Washer!
Really nice work, all that exspieriance and knowledge kicking in.
The big surprise , was no surprise !. The care and precision with which you work , is masterful . I'd give you a PHD. in machining . Respect !.
I was trying to plug a hole in a fuel tank the same way with plugs and jb weld and ppl questioned the way and determined it would fail. Thank you.
One of the best episodes ever btw.
40 years of cleaning experience and he's not to bad at fixing a casting flaw... I'd keep him on, Nico. Especially since he's married to the cook who can also handle a phone to video... Multi tasking staff!
Absolutely brilliant, every workshop needs a cleaning guy and a cook to keep things running smoothly. I would have liked to see the vacuum test on the finished job.
GREAT JOB,Here is a perfect example of learning by OSMOSIS !!!! the human brain can be so fascinating the fact that skills like this rubbed off on the CLEANING GUY,just WOW.And you did a great job of guessing how a plug tap works and using steel epoxy as sealer,i think it will last a lifetime. I remember back in the day when my dad and i were out driving his 50s truck in the woods and he ran a branch through the radiator,he simply got a bigger branch and made his own plug and jammed it in there and got us home with no issues.they don't teach those skills in school,so thanks
I reckon being a custodian for a machine shop for 40 years, you'd pick up on some useful tips. 😉 Well done, sir. You have earned your Master of the Custodial Arts degree.
That you are skilled at what you do can be seen in seconds in your videos. That you are a nice family takes a little longer to understand. Wishing you all the best in 2023.
Too funny!! Love the humor, and the family run business.
It is fun to see your fathers humor unfiltered.. Keep it up.
Wish you could do my heads, but I am in Florida...
Brilliant, great to see some old engineering skills put into practice! Shame there isn’t more people like you!
Ingenious Repair and Beautiful Workmanship by You Agaun Jim. I like your sense of Humor your not Fired ! I shared this video on my Community page.
That's a great way looks like to fix that. The cleaning guy just solved one of my problems with this technique. I like that repair
Very nice repair.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
This cleaning guy has a promising future in the automotive engineering business.
I'm thinking the cleaning guy and the cook should put in for a pay raise!
That was some innovative shade tree machine work! Just wow!
It’s good Nicklaus has such a great support staff to help him in tough situations😅
Great video. Who’d have ever thought of that repair. Definitely an expert machinist. Great to see him getting some camera time!
Haha that's the greatest. "Hey guys, the cleaning guy here" way to go with it bro
Thank you for teaching me another trick in the repair world.
As usual. Another great educational video. Thanks for teaching and entertaining.
The cleaning guy and the cook are a good team ! I would be proud to employ them , that's dedication and a good job done !!
Beautiful Repair, not exactly conventional and that's what makes it work, sometimes indirect is the best approach. JB Weld was icing on the cake !!!!
You should take a look at the matco tap ratchet, it's a wonderful tool that has saved my bacon a few times. Worth its weight in gold in a machine shop for sure
Amazing machining sir. That was probably the most inventive I have seen a machinist be to try to fix it instead of just chuck it. Keep up the amazing work.
A master machinist doing what they do best! Problem-solving.
Always great to watch and learn.
You guys do some great work!
Holy crap the commentary going along with this is hilarious. The cleaning guy had me in stitches.
i was really worried, when you showed us the problem. But after this repair you should get a bonus! Good Job!
Cleaning guy's moving up in the world. Good stuff 👌
loved the repair. the top pipe plug would make an excellent location for a temp. sensor.
Boy from cleaning guy to detailed casting repair…that shows initiative. Your boss ought to give you a raise no doubt. 👏🏻
GOOD OLD MUM HELPING OUT AS ALWAYS ⚘⚘⚘
Think the cleaning guy has a future in this business. Gonna have to keep an eye on him.
Don't forget, many good mechanic's started out sweeping the shop floor. Keep up the good work and maybe you'll be the boss someday. 😉
Good help is hard to find. The "BOSS" should give you a raise.
Hooray for The Cleaning Guy. 🎉. Please let him keep his job.
Good job. I have seen JB weld used on 5.9 Cummins trust bearing and I was skeptical of the repair but it worked 100%. The JB weld was under the saddles of the trust bearings.
The cleaning guy and the cook did nice work. Reminds me a little of installing a swedged thread insert to save a Yanmar head with bad glow-plug threads.
We love the cleaning guy and we love the cook
VERY nice repair. Quality, workmanship, and common sense are indeed a rare commodity in recent times. Best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year!
As a former mechanic i was always amazed walking into a machine shop. Started watching the videos a few days ago with the cummins crank video. I love watching a true craftsman at work. That repair was epic, by the cleaning guy and cook no less. Keep the videos coming, i enjoy the content.
Well it looks like you did a fine job.
