This detroit diesel 8v92TA engine was in very bad shape when it was towed in after being overheated.

A Jimmy 2 stroke, a legend of an engine, and the sound? FANTASTIC

Harbor Freight really took inspiration from Snap-On on that long neck ratchet. The head not only looks like the snappy version but it also sounds exactly the same.

The engine sounds so good. Always good when it starts after such a huge amount of work. Well done.

Anybody else interested in Jonathan’ backstory? He’s becoming a superstar.

Man that's exciting. Glad I had a front row seat 🎉

Is that the coolant temperature sending unit at 14:35 in the video that appears to be disconnected from the wire connector?
The engine sounds really good. You and Jonathan did a great job on this rebuild, and in overcoming the many challenges of corroded fasteners, cracks, welding repairs, etc. You guys are very skilled and very resourceful in making these repairs that other mechanics would not even consider "going there", and just chucking the part and replacing with new. Kudos to you both!

Another real good product-stuff is called Fuel Lube-VERY VERY sticky-great for o rings & holding hardware that one can't otherwise get on.

I have the same Arkfeld PRO only mine is black. Green laser works great to annoy the cat. :) UV works great for finding coolant leaks. Great job on the engine swap!

CRC Thermocure works wonders for cooling system rust. I have a 79 f250 that someone ran water in for years. Flushed with just water many times but couldn't keep the coolant green. One flush with thermocure and I never had the problem again.

Thanks for promoting the flashlight, an extremely easy to EDC UV light is exactly what I needed right now.

Great job guys I’ve learned so much about the old Detroit’s from you guys. I’ve never had the pleasure to work on them. But I’ve done in the past on other engines when the coolant was that bad flush everything out the best you can connect the radiator leave the return hose off fill it with water and just let the engine flush itself out have a very good success doing that in the past.
Keep up the great work.

😁 You did a Clifford Franklin on that radiator nut.

Awesome video :) as always. That Davco 382, I had one on a Volvo Autocar dump truck, with a Volvo D12, worked great. Was coolant heated for winter.

Great result....but it never was in doubt with you guys on the job was it? 😀
