- Welcome to the channel everyone, if you're new here my name's Jake and in this episode I attempt to start this Ford Louisville Lnt9000 with a Detroit 6v92 to see if the engine is a good candidate for my 1973 Kenworth W925 project truck

great to see the emergency stop board ready :)
Yeah I’m sure a run away would make a good video😂 always gotta have the board ready for the first start!
@@dieseldownunder. not your first rodeo :)
@@dieseldownunder. yeah,
I used to have a thick plastic cutting board ready ,
usually they will go for a long time coz exhaust valve float stops em going too insane, put some chevy petrol (cant remember which ones) springs in then it can be pretty spectacular :):):), love your work, had a great collection of 2 strokes but ended up disabled and lost my industrial block but slowly collecting again, latest is a 1980 Ingersoll rand spiroflo compressor with a 6V71, also recently got a early 90s DETCO 300kv genny with original 75 engine hours, 6V92T and bonus 1500 litres of diesel for fuckall, ex red cross blood banks backup, gotta have a win sometime :):):)
all the best for your project, will be following,
plenty of people ask me why I love "that rusty old junk" and I say coz they won WW2 and built western civilisation, I see them the same as an old torana, etc :):):)👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I hope you dedicate yourself to learning all that you can about 2-stroke Detroit engines. There’s just not many young mechanics who really know how to service and repair them. If you get the reputation for being good at working on them you will be in demand. There’s still millions of them running boats, generators, pumps and classic trucks. Anyone can repair a 4-stroke but fewer and fewer men really know the 2-stroke engines. The guys who do are in demand and will be for the foreseeable future.
Thanks mate I’ve got a lot to learn but the more I can learn the better! Most the blokes who really know them are getting ready for retirement now sadly
@@dieseldownunder. they are pretty simple, make sure the return line is unrestricted and flowing well, even a return line cooler is a good idea if running in really hot conditions and just fuck around with the buffer screw a bit, usually all they need :), do you know what size injectors ???, said 85 i think, 90 or 95 , even 100 might make it bark and roll some coal
I wasn't a fully trained fitter but was a remote area driller so basically had to fix stuff with fuckall spares around :)
Definitely sounds good when it’s on the song
Well done for getting it going.
Loving the videos! Can’t wait to see the Kenworth up and running 👍🏻
Hopefully won’t be too far away! A few more videos and it should be up and running I hope
Hi Jake glad to watch videos of you diagnose all the issues here on the 6v92 , hope it's savable with lots left to give you in return
Hey mate I think it will be salvageable, overall it’s not too bad and besides the oil leaks and smoke it seems to run quite well, a freshen up with some new rings and gaskets will go a long way I reckon
Detroits are runners, not much will keep them from running. I have a 6v92TA in my motorhome, quite a few Detroit videos on my channel as well. I am no expert but I have been tinkering with them for a while. The tags on those injectors often do not get changed when they get rebuilt, you can put internals in the injectors to pretty much make any injector you want. That fella Adrian is the real deal, I have seen him on Dangar Stu’s channel, lots of good info from that fella!
That seems to be true so far mate both of the ones I’ve started so far have sat for a long time and really didn’t take much work to get running again, that’s good to know I’ll check out your channel the more I can learn off of everyone the better! That makes sense thanks for the info I’ll keep an eye out for that I hadn’t thought about people changing the injector configuration but not the tags
Great show. My first job was driving a Bedford erv v6dtroit scre😅amer from gym Dandenong to Elizabeth Adelaide. Carrieng par😅ts for commodores etc. it was fun. That was 1978
Oh wow that would have been a handful doing that run in an old Bedford, what an experience! I went to the factory and brought a heap of surplus stock when the Elizabeth factory shut down it was massive there!
Gday, new sub here and glad I found your channel, the engine in the blue rails sound strong, keen for the next episode mate, cheers
Thanks for watching mate! I agree it sounds really good I’ve got it in the shed and will get the engine out this week
Cheers
Good old classic Detroit diesel. Fiesty old birds.
They are good fun, I enjoy working on them so far!
Keep the videos coming, much rather watch a 2 hr video than a 10 minute bit of this or that.
From kiwi land.
Thanks mate as long as you guys like the longer videos I’ll keep doing them, it’s hard to show a days work in 20 minutes anyway! Cheers
Looking forward to seeing the w model going
Thanks mate hopefully won’t be too far away
love the vid,good content
Cheers thanks mate
Always watch good to learn
Thankyou!
like the long videos
Great video, can't wait till the next one!
Cheers thankyou!
Hi Jake, I don't mind the longer vids I can see progress working in ur favour, rather than 25 min snapshots but maybe that's just me. I also sub to a channel in the States somewhere (i think ?) The O'l 2 Stroker. I watch Wayne frig around with some v12's in different bits of gear, a little bit like yourself. Have a captain cook if you get a chance. I'm sure he would converse. :)
Hey mate thankyou it’s good to hear the longer vids arnt too boring, a lot of the diagnostic and mechanical work takes a lot longer so they are usually longer videos where removing an engine ect are usually 25-30 minutes, yes I watch ol 2 stroker he’s great entertainment! I think he’s somewhere in New York maybe? Once I get abit more popular on here hopefully I can have a chat to the more well known blokes that would be really cool!
Yeah drove one them old girls with 9 sp go like the clappers GOOD ON YA CHEERS
The 3 I have all have 9 speeds so must have been a very common spec for them, thanks for watching mate!
Nice work.
If ya going to restore the S2 or W, go all out and rebuild the engine before fitting it up...
also as someone else said, go with new head studs
Thanks mate! The s2 I will go all out on and do the engine and anything else that needs doing as I may sell it once it’s finished, the W I will put the engine out of the blue chassis in it as it is and fix things as required just so I can have it on the road abit sooner.
And yes I agree new head bolts in the long run saves a lot of effort
Two thing mate u can get head bolt out by shorting ark welding rod on bolt .oil in airboxs check turbo seals and return
Thanks mate i may give that a go if I had a price of pipe I could put the arc rod down the center, I’ll have a look at the turbo thankyou!
Enjoyed the longer vid ,pre streched head bolts are unreliable for being predictable, ie 120* etc.
Cheers thanks mate glad that you enjoyed it! Yes I think these ones had been used one time too many
colll jake is ok longer videos....
Thanks mate
Not too many Louisvilles left running around --that might also be a future project
Yes sadly rust gets a lot of them! I could definitly make one good one from all the parts I have, not sure I could manage a ford obsession and a kenworth one at the same time though😂👍🏻
One of my subbies had a LWB lightweight bogie drive Louisville running on 900 x 20 tyres with a Cat V8. Carried 20’ boxes delivering furniture locally. I thought it might be good with a big sleeper on it. But time went on.
Re using old head bolts , I've learnt to spend a little money buy new bolts and save yourself the head ache of breaking or streatching old bolts on tension and then all the time to remove heads esp in tight spot like this LNT ,
I agree 100% I always try to use new head bolts where I can unless I know they have only been tensioned once, but on old engines like this who knows how many’s times they have been used! So I will be sure to use new ones when the time comes.
Cheers
Hey mate there’s a channel called Roots blowers and Detroit’s and a bloke called Adrian knows a far bit about Detroit’s you may pick up a thing or two from his videos if you have the time, he’s an Aussie from New South Wales with a deadly haircut
I’ll check him out for sure thanks for the info, I’ve got a lot to learn so I’ll go watch some of his videos thankyou!
I prefer longer videos. I don’t even watch shorts . If I’m learning something new I’m good with longer videos.
The weight of the vice grips on the fuel rack can make them not idle right
Towards the end of the video I did take them off as I thought that might be causing issues it was Definitly better when I took them off if I unseized the throttle pedal in the cab I think that would solve all the problems
You forgot to say its SUPERCHARGED!
Didn’t want to be one of those blokes😉😂
@@dieseldownunder. 👍👍👍 good to see you know what the blower is for.
TH-cam Bruce in Aus
Why on earth has is got 2 different set of injectors on each side. The mms are the same but anyone know what the lettering means on the 92s
I’d say the rh side head is original and the left hand side has been replaced with a head from another engine and they just swapped the complete head, I’m unsure what the letters mean though
Where’s Stuart ? 😂
Gooooo stuart
Definitely missing the red ford the second engine sounds much better to me.
Yep second engine is the better one out of the two, I dont know if the red one has a kiss or the broken exhaust manifold makes it sounds like it’s got a miss either way it needs engine work so second engine is the winner👌🏻
Us to drive a tamed axle dump truck had 671 Detroit a peace of crap.
Haha I can imagine if you were driving one every day as a job for a boss that may get old very quickly😂
Hot shot secret fuel treatment run that those injectors clean right up
*this brings back memories. i grew up in a **_brand new_** 9000. same color. broke 2 of my fingers, when my grandpa shut the door w/ my fingers in the way* however, that junk ass detroit is _only_ as good as a paper weight. a 3406 would be perfect in this truck.
I think you ARE on drugs if you think a 6v92 is junk.
That would be a painful memory at least you will never forget the old 9000, this particular truck won’t be getting restored or going back on the road sadly it’s just going to be parts I’d love to save them all but my pockets aren’t deep enough for that!
I’m excited to see how the 6v92 does I don’t think I’ll be disappointed
Vise grips kid
Hell no son find you a 12v92 for your 900
Way way past 120 dud your like 190 on torque
Your fuel system is dirty run your overhead
