Always smart to replace gaskets on a used engine, I always change the oil pump too, it’s cheap insurance that could save a lot of headaches down the road. Cheers from Ontario Canada.👍🇨🇦
Don't apologize for the lighting or any mishaps with the video. We love your channel just the way it is. Congrats on a good purchase of the engine. Stu knows his stuff when it comes to sniffing out a bargain. Cheers from DownUnder.
BTW The flickering on your video's is a result of Fluorescent lighting. You most likely already know that by now. Your right Marina It's quite a tedious job, you used the correct word, and yes it can be obnoxious as well. Also, Happy to hear that your channel is growing. That's great news. cheers.
That engine is as lovely as Marina and chirps along as sweetly as a nest of baby birds. Well done. Now just a repeat on that spare engine you have and you should be able to sell it off.
That was a huge feat. Engines are not my forte. lol. I am with you, I think it would be boring work. scrubbing, cleaning and painting. But it is essential to your boat. I enjoy these videos.
Steve felt your pain whilst he was watching this episode. Imagine taking that apart on anchor, just what Steve's just done. He reckons its a great engine, a fantastic purchase. At least you'll know it inside out. Well done on the rebuild, fabulous that it started 🥰⛵️
Yo! How's the three of you? Hope things are looking a bit sunnier. I can imagine it would be a nightmare. Luckily, we have a little engine room. Next is the drive train. An expense that was not planned. No biggy, just keep going. I'm still sanding, hopefully only 8 hours left. Cheers for the ongoing support and encouragement. Thank you 😊
I've sent you two things from your Amazon Wishlist - arrived today at the marina office, Amazon said. Hope it helps! Looking forward to the next videos! ~ John
Engine looks very nice and it is good to paint it while you have the chance. It would be so much more difficult to do in the boat. Tedious is the correct word for that type of work.
What did Nico say about the bores, is there any scoring? It would have been a good idea to pull the pan off the bottom and check a main and rod cap while you were in there, but I'm glad you got it all cleaned up. It's a personal choice but I like marine engines white, so you can see when there is oil, and where it's seeping from.
G’day, g’day. Fantastic job guys. The fact that you have done some work on the top end is a good comfort indeed. Looks clean and in good nic. The cooler looks great and the cores clean from what I could see. But the fact that you checked this critical component is a relief. Better to do these repairs now while the donk is out makes so much sense. Good job. Have a fantastic week guys keep it safe always. Cheers Ken Australia 🇦🇺
It is such a wonderful sense of accomplishment when engines run! The sound from your engine was like music…just beautiful! (And I am so happy that mama bird came back.) 😎🥰💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you very much! The three little birds have already flown the coop. I miss their little chirpy sounds. Hope you've had a good week. Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabird that’s wonderful news! It makes my day. 😎 Headed to the boatyard. Supposed to be be mid 90s F with a lot of humidity. 😂 It’s good to sweat. 😎💕💕💕 Hope you have a good week, too! ❤️😎
Well done with the engine sounds brilliant lot of difference in size of the gearboxes because the water cooling on one of them more room in the engine compartment though well done to Nico i wish you both well see you both next time
Engine room 🤣 It's a bit complicated why we changed the gearbox. But now it should all be sorted. Just have a lot to do before we install the engine. Cheers for watching 😃
Cool job I am glad you are getting up to speed now and yes I love your channel and the little baby s lol good job thank you you do mack a big difference don't stop👍👍💯💯🐣🐥🐥
First class rebuilding of a Yanmar 4JH3E diesel. Stewart a Master Ship builder is assisted by the yard mechanic Nico. This is a must see episode as these two adventurer's take on a huge project of rebuilding this beautiful fiberglass sailing vessel. We can tell by their expertise, this will be a most interesting task. Can't wait for another epic episode and we can't thank you both so much for showing us these massively interesting video's. Again, we are praying for the young chicks in the cradle. Keep us posted on this situation if possible.
That engine seems to be in great shape and will last for a long time as long as Stew keeps up with the proper maintenance schedule which I'm sure he will.. you are really making some forward progress on Seabird!!
So you have a running thumper remember lots and lots of sound proofing or it will drive you nuts. Plus label everything it makes it easy to trouble shoot. Put filters easy to get at, both fuel and oil so no boat yoga. Shut offs for all the above easy to get at. You can design the best engine bay.
The engine sounds ok. We'll get the engine room soundproofed for sure. The fuel system will be a big and a day, double filtered with shut off valve. Access to most of the engine is ok. Cheers for watching 😃
What a wonderful learning experience! Now you can trust the Engine as it can provide SAFE maneuverability when needed! Plus with your new knowledge the SOUND of that engine will give warning of any upcoming problem. It was a good break from the hard part of sanding-you both did an excellent job! That is not easy work. Nico gave you great help! Thanks for the collected videos that summed up all the action! Take a few days to relax -then on to it. We are all proud of your actions! Cheers, Rich
.... well would you look at that. It even spits water ....thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ....
Depending on the camera adjusting the shutterspeed can reduce / eliminate flickering often times it's because the electricity ac frequency is aligning with the the cameras shutterspeed
I remember discovering your channel when there was only a few thousand of us and in the last year it has really grown.. hopefully you won't have to take off to the mountains this year and the channel will be able to maintain you and Seabird
Hi No loss of time opening second hand engine , control statement of mobile équipements , reimplace what has to be and start to test on a provisory frame before to install in place . Seabird is not à light racing boat and safety requires to be sure thé engine will help If nécessary at any moment you Are in à need of assistance . No crushing noise when starting ? No water in the oil ? Nice work. Thks for sharing yr challenge steps
We've cleaned them all and we have spares. The paint has flaked a bit, but that's about it. Once the engine is installed you'll see why we like this boat so much. Many people talk about engine access... Cheers for watching 😃
I know from experience, working on engines can be tedious at times, and you have to pay attention to even the smallest details. However, I know if you dot thei's and cross the t's your engine will last for a long time, and will not let you down. Still enjoying your content good for you guys.
Yo! Birds have flown the coop. Only a few nuts left over, some other random parts, a couple of cog things, a pump. Who knows 🤣 Thank you as always for your support and encouragement. Love team Seabird. Cheers for watching 😃
@@SailingSeabirdI got a quick way to get rid of flickering lights on cameras for future situations like that! The lights flicker because your camera is setup to shoot with certain fps, and your lights do not light up constantly when turned on, but rather switch on and off so fast that your eyes cannot differentiate the flicker - but your camera often can! This effect is called aliasing, but explaining that would go way too far now. Anyways, the important thing is how to set up the camera for flicker-free video! That is done by changing the recording settings on your cam to shoot at a different Framerate (fps) to the problematic one. If possible don‘t shoot with any less than ~24fps as the video would get noticeably jittery and not smooth anymore…
Sounds is great. Good luck with the motor. Do plan to swap out the various rubber pipes if you can before you install her ....or at least get the spares on your stock. Cheaper insurance for down the line! S!
Yes, good idea/plan to go over the new motor before installing in the more confining area of the boat haul. I was wondering of the crack made in the center flow section of the intercooler, did you J-B Weld it or something so not to have a cooling failure/leak later on when out to sea?
I don't know what you're referring to. Everything seems OK. No cracks. Apart from the thermostat housing but we have a spare for the time being. We'll get a new one ordered. A few loose ends to do on the engine. Plus we need to sell the extra block. Maybe today we'll go take some photos. Cheers for watching 😃
yes, I went back and checked the video and at 10:34 you hammered out the inter core of the after cooler and pointed out what may be a small crack on in it from the hammering.
I am glad to see everything is going well. At least no F bombs in this episode (remember the first couple of episodes) I cant believe how time flies. I am happy for you that the channel subs are increasing daily Russell
Makes sense to give the engine a good looking over and replace anything suspect before fitting it.Get 75 and strech the gasket if it isn't big enough? Sounds really good on startup.
Sounds okay, runs fine, is it boring being a mechanic? No, not with engine rebuilds, (i was a mechanic for 30+ years) i did only engine rebuilds for about 10 years, we have different acids for different parts, plus special tools to clean old gaskets off.. that wasn’t anywhere near a complete rebuild, it was even a “head service” but your mechanic knew what you needed, his use of brake cleaner? Yes! 😂 that’s actually a trade secret.. (it evaporates leaving no residue) Anyways Thanks guys!
@@SailingSeabird just don’t leak the brake cleaner trick.. 😂. I used to buy that stuff by the cartons of cans.. it works like magic, and I don’t think i ever used it to clean a single brake part….
Found your channel last Thursday and just got caught up today, can’t wait for the next instalment! Fantastic job so far, well done to both of you you make a good team.
Go to a hunting and fishing shop and get a rifle cleaning rod and a 22 or 308 wire brush head and push that though the water cooling holes that will clean the pipes
Hiya Clive. You're right, most of the big stuff sorted. Just hunting sails and once that's all done, the solar and battery set up. Lots to fix. Buy second hand, service and install. The story of my life... Cheers for watching 😃
Don't knock labelling. Doing an engine teardown, labelling and remembering where everything goes is nine tenths of the job!
You are so right!
I think we did a good job at labelling.
Not too many extra nuts and bolts 🤣

At least you'll know it inside out.
Well done on the rebuild, fabulous that it started 🥰⛵️
Yo!
How's the three of you?
Hope things are looking a bit sunnier.
I can imagine it would be a nightmare.
Luckily, we have a little engine room.
Next is the drive train.
An expense that was not planned.
No biggy, just keep going.
I'm still sanding, hopefully only 8 hours left.

Good choice on the yamar, won't let you down if keep the oil in it .
