Detroit diesel 8v92TA bottom end bearings main and rod

Got the bottom end all buttoned up on this Wanderlodge detroit diesel 8v92TA. 145,000 miles was a great time to replace the bearings.

This engine was not designed or built by accountants. It is a work of functional art, beautiful.

First off: having an intro especially, with that custom made song - Outstanding! _Put's a nice polish on the overall production!_ Thanks-

This has to be one of the best channels on YouTube! How your channel doesn't have over a million subscribers is beyond me! Keep up the great content, Brother!

You put the sharp edge of the rolling head prybar against the bearing and the round edge against the block and rock it back and forth. Hard to describe but if I could show you, I’m thinking that you might be upset about all the time that you lost. I love your videos and you are always teaching me something new. If I could combine what I know with what you know about these engines??? Man what we could do

I toured the Bluebird factory in Michigan back in the 1980's and was impressed with the quality levels. Great song by the way.

Love that song. Doing those bearings reminded me of The Sand Pebbles. Asian dude was sent under the engine to fix a bearing. "It's his rice bowl". Engine slipped and spun. Dragged out the body. Good to see you are still alive.

I would use STP for assembly lube back in my day, then use a 1/2" drill to circulate oil before start up.

Ironic I too cracked that very SK 12 point. Lol. My SK tool guy rocks as I had a replacement the same day. 👍 thanks Tom

Thanks Scott, A lesson for all times!

Cummins has a brass tool to roll out the bearings. I wrote manuals for Cummins, and I did nearing roll out. The final torque required a torque wrench about 5-feet long. GM really was building good stuff back in the day. Cummins still builds great engines. Sorry to see you move out of my neighborhood.

Scott, one of the best tools to save time I ever bought was a Snap On air powered gasket scraper kit. Also a good tip is to always change your oil before storage. A lot of the pitting on besrings come from sitting with acids on them.Fresh oil protects the internals from corrosion. When a engine sits all the gunk goes to the bottom of the pan and when you start it all thst nasty gets sucked up and can bypass the filter when the engine is cold.I see all these "first start after xxx years "vids and cringe to think of that 20 year old oil going through the engine.

Love watching new lower bearings going on. Oil drips in the face is annoying though

This definitely adds to my interest in the Monk McQueen boat I've been looking at, twin 8v71TI for engines.
Though there is another boat with twin 8v71N engines. ( oddly, this one boat has 5 diesel engines yet is a twin engine boat. 2 main engines, 2 generators and 1 95hp cummins diesel for the bow thruster )
10500 gallons diesel, 700 gallon day tank ( gasoline ) to fuel up toys like jetskis.
a whopping 120 tons of steel at 90 feet long and 20 feet wide. top speed is only 12 knots ( 15 mph )

Nice theme song, does Lenny like it?👍👌❤🇨🇦

See you use your little HF ball peen hammer too. Amazing! I was wondering how you were going to get the upper crankshaft bearings out without dropping the crankshaft.

[jefftaylor]

I tap on a wooden dowel on the end of the connecting rod to more it up for clearance to slide the bearing into place. Nice job.

[anytractorman]

You should check out a multi tool with a scraper blade on it, they work pretty good for scraping. You are really good on those engines, lots of patience is what it takes!

Hi Scott, I just received your Bus Grease Monkey sticker in the mail today. I love it !! now I have to figure out where to put it. Thanks a lot Scott.
