“Buddy, I’d hate to break it to you but that ain’t no f****n torque wrench; it’s a piece of pipe. Must be a Diesel engine builders most famous quote. Nice work dude
That's why I wish these armchair mechanics would abstain from posting their little nitpicks and comments and just enjoy the video. Dude knows what he's doing - he doesn't need some neckbeard in mommy's basement telling him how to do his job.
I drive for a local fuel distributor, I currently drive a 2017 International LT DayCab. My last truck was a 2010 Maxxturd with the 12.4 Liter Maxxturd Diesel Engine. The 2017 that I drive now has a Cummins 15 liter, it is a great truck, this engine is pretty loud, but overall it very nice, then low end torque is especially impressive. I have begged, threatened to quit, threatened to quit and take half there driver with me, cussed until I ran out of cuss words..............all to try to get them to buy me a Kenworth, a Freightliner, a Western Star.....anything but a damn Navistar, they refuse. I hate them for this, I am the senior driver, been there for 14 years, I make exceptional money, but I still might quit if someone would buy me anything other than a damn International. I once owned my own truck, and I would not hesitate to have KT rebuild my engine. Half of the problem that I have with my shit spreader is the fact that the International shop is over worked and poorly motivated. The other half of my problem is the tire shop that this dealership uses is COMPLETELY incompetent. I have taken my truck to the shop on two thursdays in a row, just trying to get them to balance my steer tires, my steer tires still have 0 weights on them.
I agree, some of the characters on TH-cam operate in a very messy/dirty environment for their rebuilds. I don't watch them more than twice, or so. I will keep watching here until I can't see anymore, or he decides he is not putting up with the idiots. Best wishes
@@kevinkelley3657 Fight the good fight but sometimes you have to concede. I'm down to "my new truck needs to be a manual", went home for three weeks on the last truck "call me when you get a manual in, you have the number". They called.
Absolutely agree 100%, he does this for our enjoyment and education, He does not need a bunch of arm chair quarterbacks telling him what hes doing wrong, its clear he has an interesting channel or would not have 83,000+ VIEWS in less than 72 HOURS, now that is interesting in itself, This guy has a good sense of humor in his own way, hes not afraid to say that was wrong or it was wrong, The guy is doing this to help us out and we enjoy it and learn from his work and taking the time to video and share, I personally appreciate each one of his videos and this is why I am a subscriber.
I'm no diesel mechanic, but my guess is he puts in a couple additional hours on one of these builds with all the extra "attention to details " steps. Perhaps money out of his pocket initially, but in the end, he's built a better product, feels better about it and no doubt has gained some additional jobs because of it.
Dealer techs are no different than Indies Humans. If they are paid by job, they skip as much as possible to meet an acceptable return rate. Read:not too high to get fired. If they are flat rate, they get enough done not to get fired. People who are exceptional at this stuff are too busy working projects like this to take call in business. Have fun waiting 18 months for amazing work at any price.
You sir are a Master Craftsman. Paying attention to the detail of rod/pin/piston weights are the little things that probably make your engine builds far outlast anyone else's builds. And your non-chalant commentary is priceless.
Been watching your videos for awhile, and wish I had one for you to build for me. Retired pilot now, but drove back in early 70’s after 80’s getting out of the Military. Your builds are the best I’ve seen. Hang in there! You will never go hungry as long as you want to build the cats. Dealing with cancer now, but love your videos.
I've been watching your videos for awhile now, and there is definitely an addictive component to your posts. The precision with which you approach and do your work is outstanding. I like your seemingly nonchalant nature and the way your north Texas/Oklahoma twang brings a validation to your cynical and sarcastic, and funny, comments that are sprinkled throughout your detailed narrative. Keep doing what you're doing. It's great entertainment and uniquely informative. I appreciate people who know what they are talking about. Thanks for that.
KT3406E - It is really nice to see a true professional at work. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us. I really appreciate it, myself. I can see others do as well. The world would do well to see more work like yours. You set a good example. Thank you for that.
I went to a Caterpillar specific college called ThinkBig. Nothing but Cat products. The engine rebuild class I took, I feel you are doing a quicker version of EXACTLY what the instructors taught us. You are doing it as good as anyone can. Keep it up man.
Welcome back my friend! It’s been too damn long since we’ve seen your brilliant brain building big kitties, blowing shit up, or wrecking late 80s hair bands’ old tour buses. I flipping love this channel!
Love these videos. I work in a prototype fabrication shop mostly by myself. Whenever things get to big for me to move around or lift I ask myself what KT3406E would do then figure it out! I doubt anyone who leaves a negative comments has ever built an engine. How does someone mistake a cheater bar for a torque wrench anyway?
Isaac's Garage I don’t even like to call it a cheater bar. My dad who was a mechanic who was retired and a USN vet called it a “force multiplier” which he said was the correct nomenclature.
I'll be honest... I'm not mechanically inclined whatsoever, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video and am looking forward to watching more. Thank you for taking the time to show us your work.
You might "say" you're not mechanically inclined, but you are fascinated by this man's humble, but OCD approach to his quest for perfection. The more you watch, and the more you listen, the better you understand something that you thought was beyond your own percieved abilities. I'd bet that once you took on a project (not a 700hp engine rebuild, lol) you would figure it out and finish it perfectly. I'm a 73 year old retired industrial electrician (marine & oilfield) , and have had the pleasure of servicing enormous types of rotating equipment. But I've never worked a day in my life, because I'm at my best & happiest when I have tools in my hands. Now think of something that you'd like to fix, and go fix it. Well done in advance. Cheers.
Bro, i gotta ask, i watch all your videos and your knowledge is SO vast! You look like a young dude, how the hell do you know so much about all these engines and rebuilds etc. I’d expect someone with your knowledge to have 30+ years experience.. Very impressive! Thank you for the awesome videos and content!!
The same reason you have 18-25 year olds bolting together airplanes. I train them for two years, then the ones that give a shit get to go work on their own.
The man calls himself a hillbilly I say no ! He is The Man ! He takes care of business , and earns his money and works hella hard . It’s joy to see this man work on these
Would love to see a video of a C13 build from start to finish in as much detail as possible. I don't mind if it has to be several hours long. I'll watch it all.
There's something very satisfying about watching somebody who's obviously very knowledgeable doing a proper job with no BS. Even if I never rebuild a big diesel, there's still something I walk away with that makes me think how to do a better job on other projects. Thanks for the effort in putting these videos up!
With almost 80,000 views, I don't think you have to worry if people watch your content or not. I for one would love it if you went full nerd on any of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Bro i know this is an older video but i did not expect you to be as young as you are. man youre a WEALTH OF INFORMATION BROTHER I love your content as an aspiring and new diesel mechanic. Thanks man.
As a mechanic of 40 years, I approve of this channel. With my torn out shoulders, bad knees and rebuilt spine, I weep every time I watch this master mechanic tightening a main bolt. Press on brother, and take care of yourself the best you can. And of course, thank you! For sharing this amazing content…..g
Thanks buddy great work don’t worry about what everyone else says there probably not really building huge Diesel engines they just watch videos and know it all god bless
Hi KT I haven't sent email in a while the C15 acert that I built running strong and thank you so much for the information and guidance for my Build the avg on the Dyno was 628hp and 2120 ft of tork for one hour of time on 80% to 100% load. The flow mach 10r3261 work great and it smooth running.
I'm a jamaican, I quit driving tours for a living since corona virus and is going into trucks, I have good enough mechanical knowledge and experience of how diesel engine works in coaches but i do notice it a total different story when it comes to trucks so im looking all over for information and I must tell you that i find your videos to be fountains of information, i may never do what you do but bcuz of my understanding of how an engine works i can see how watching your videos would easily make me a better mechanic, if I got the opportunity to name your chanel, I would name it- 'HOW TO REBUILD ENGINES FOR THE DUMMIES' man i love your videos.
So during this furlough, it's been cow hoof trimming vids, Aussie guy that unblocks sewer lines vids, commercial farming vids, pipeline welding vids, and diesel engine rebuild vids, this is a great country man!
Thanks for making these videos ! We used to farm in the 70’s and had Caterpillar tractors. The biggest 2 were a D8 model 2U and a D9, which I have no idea what engines they used. I always enjoyed hearing them run and starting them up ! I don’t think we ever did a major overhaul on any of the engines but, I enjoy your videos and getting to see what a heavy duty Caterpillar engine looks like on the inside !
There was a mechanic who welded a pipe wrench on his bumper of his service truck because he was sick of people tailgating him.They would see the wrench and back off scared it would fall off and hit their vehicle..I love watching your videos you really know your stuff..Thanks for sharing..
I'm a diesel and gaz engine mechanic from Iran, and I have OCPD. Based on what I saw here, I will trust you with any engine that you build. No questions asked. 💪
Just wanted to say thanks for the good build videos, I really enjoy watching them! It’s great seeing how you go the extra mile with each motor you build 👍
@KT3406E It's been 2 decades but used to build these engines in Illinois before cat closed the plant and moved to Texas. I used to drop mains and cranks, crank end play, Piston pull and ran the head cell ,my brother was a machinist that did the Liners for the blocks. Love your videos dude.
You sell yourself so short … to know what you know would be priceless to anyone… I’ve systematically rebuilt 2 engines and feel certain that the last million miles since overhaul with not one issue other than a broken compression brake hausing cracking is due to you directly… I wish you had a service to allow an owner to be able to be hands on with you while our engine is being built… this is something folks would enjoy immensely and speaking for myself.. I would gladly pay for the tutelage… thank you for everything you put into these videos … seriously you are more important than any dealer could ever be .. yup I blew smoke but I meant every word
I just think its cool as hell. I dont build engines, but i appreciate your work ans enjoy watching and learning a little along the way. Thanks again for the videos
KT3406E thank you brother these are skills and methods I am called "Lazy" or "Slow". I put up a mailbox because I am bringing it no matter what and gonna do like I would for myself. Hands down to the very best of my ability and no corners cut! EVER. What supposed technological gadget these days is not a complete piece of excrement. You find any that are good and you let me know? Keep on being you I for one find immense value in what you are able to demonstrate and iterate. Hats off.
I learn a lot watching your videos. But this time thank you specifically for showing me how to use plasti gauge. It’s simple only after you see how to do it. Thank you!
I don't know anything about rebuilding a diesel engines, but I really enjoy watching you analyze what's wrong if anything and figuring it out. Or rebuilds.
LMAO “i had some tart in the comments tell me my torque wrench was bent, buddy that’s ain’t no torque wrench thats a piece of pipe” this dude is hilarious
depends on whitch way its outta spec, if the clearance is too small, bore the bearings, with em installed, until their to size. if too large, bore gauge and figure out if you have a out of round, order oversize bearings and bore to size.
@@weedies7577 depends on what they offer in bearing sizes, some engines like the cats/cummins/detroit stuff you can, but for the more odball stuff, jeere, old mack e7's, kubota, mitsubishi, ect, they might not offer the inbetween sizes, just std/ .10 over ect.
Not sure what I liked more, the main body of the video or the end clip of the Road Boss. And yes, we DO watch the little stuff. Your diligence and professionalism is greatly appreciated.
I don't understand why people think they know how to build a engine you do it right I've built diesel for over 20 years Cat Cummins Detroit Mack you know what your doing
“Buddy, I’d hate to break it to you but that ain’t no f****n torque wrench; it’s a piece of pipe.

Love the videos, no bullshit, no music, no crazy intro, no petty explanations, I appreciate em 👌👌🇺🇸
Exactly what I was thinking 👍🏽
Yup!
You will NEVER get this quality of work at any dealership period
I'm no diesel mechanic, but my guess is he puts in a couple additional hours on one of these builds with all the extra "attention to details " steps. Perhaps money out of his pocket initially, but in the end, he's built a better product, feels better about it and no doubt has gained some additional jobs because of it.
Yes you will come to Bakersfield
@@jesusperez665 Not at a dealership level. you wont. I have done enough in frames and out of chassis jobs. Time is Money

Please dont change that....its refreshing to witness.
Great video. Your competency is obvious. Don’t mind the negativity of the nay sayers. Some people just have to put a negative spin on everything.

For such a young guy, it’s amazing the knowledge you have. Super impressive
Love it. 😊👍. dummy it's a pipe🍻👍
You should just make a series of engine build videos in detail like that... super easy to follow and understand. 👌🏼 10/10
Always interesting thanks for sharing your knowledge 👍🇦🇺👀
👍👍
Thank you for being blunt on what you say. Its actually refreshing to hear some of the wordings you put together.
When you plastiguage something like the mains, if the clearance is out of spec how do you fix it?
depends on whitch way its outta spec, if the clearance is too small, bore the bearings, with em installed, until their to size. if too large, bore gauge and figure out if you have a out of round, order oversize bearings and bore to size.
pretty sure u can get it in spec with different bearing thickness
@@weedies7577 depends on what they offer in bearing sizes, some engines like the cats/cummins/detroit stuff you can, but for the more odball stuff, jeere, old mack e7's, kubota, mitsubishi, ect, they might not offer the inbetween sizes, just std/ .10 over ect.
@@patrick11169 If you're real damn lucky an off the shelf bearing will solve the problem, otherwise, it is, as you have said, line boring time.
Not sure what I liked more, the main body of the video or the end clip of the Road Boss.
And yes, we DO watch the little stuff. Your diligence and professionalism is greatly appreciated.
Screw what we say, don't let it get to you.
I'd love to see you build an N14 for power.
Great videos!
No need for a gym when you're lifting and twisting big iron all day everyday!
Never give up! I always like your videos. Thanks.
I came straight to the comments to read what the perfectionist had to say
Man what a great video. Thanks for ALL the information. When you say "no one wants to hear it," I DO, and I assume alot of other people do too.
SOOOOOOOOO, whats this worth??? The way "you rebuild it"... $30-40k??? $20-30K??? Damn this is going to make power and run forever!!!
I'm guessing 30k-40k because a owner operator at my work rebuild his engine 500 Cummins it cost him 30k
Every bit of 30 plus
In Australia
It is 40 plus just done one
Very therapeutic hearing the sleeves pop in and seeing the pistons slide in, as well. You put out more videos than Zip Ties lol
I showed this to my cat
He didn't understand it. He’s a cat.
Different cat. Yours meow but this one hissing turbo
I’d like to show my cat to this man so he could twist its tail and make it run like he’s knows how
I don't understand why people think they know how to build a engine you do it right I've built diesel for over 20 years Cat Cummins Detroit Mack you know what your doing
