In this video we start to assemble the duramax engine for my C10 drag truck project. Hope you enjoy it! --Check out my Instagram-- SketchyDA Thanks for watching!
doing how to videos wont hurt you like you think, by all means there are cards we all keep close to our chest, those hard earned solutions, but general how-to's wont hurt you, indeed showing how meticulous and thorough you are in routine stuff may even help you or give a potential customer confidence in you over another shop. FWIW I own my own shop, 90% of my work is problems for other shops, I specialise in the nightmare jobs, so I appreciate when you want to keep your knowledge, but I also appreciate the advantage in others knowing what I can do :)
How about being second guessed by every keyboard warrior that knows how to type glow plug? Whenever anyone says to jump over a puddle, 10 others say walk around it and another 10 say build a bridge over it and you guessed it, 10 more say to tunnel under it. I get what you mean, but how to videos catch a tremendous amount of heat. It's like the stupid Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge rants.
i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I love any help you can give me
Engine parts White to match the roof and not just be the same would look bloody cool IMO. When parts look this sexy,is almost a shame they end up inside the engine! Exited to see how she comes out Wyatt, and the journey there!
Hey Wyatt, Perhaps you should consider schooling your boy Hayden on how to use micrometers and how to Mic” a Crankshaft, Main bearing and Rod journals and only use plasti-gauge when you are in lower butt-scratch just North of Taint and South of the outer Rings of Uranus
I did the same thing when I forgot to install my cam gear lol. Had that "fuckin ay" moment as well but I sneaked it in as well! No backtracking haha. As far as painting the front/rear covers... You literally won't even see them as soon as the engine is fully assembled and in the truck. If anything just have the outermost parts that are more exposed powdered/painted, if you ask me! Valve covers, accessory brackets, coolant crossover, piping, etc.
I’m glad there’s some folks doing diesel how to videos, I did a head gasket job on my lb7 a couple months ago not knowing anything but it went ok. The shops around here wanted $6000-$7000 and my truck wasn’t worth much more than that.
polish all the things you'd paint orange and then brush them all the same direction with some sand paper and then clear coat with duplicolor engine enamel clear. no matter what color the truck is painted, this will go with it. brushed metal/black, universal af.
A shiney black (super glossy) would pop against the flat black of the engine bay. And look classy AF. . . These videos have shown me you care about your work environment. Far different than Kyle's or Haden's. Everything is clean and not cluttered. Love your videos!
I am so glad I can have other people do all the work on my cars these days. It was so much easier in the 70s-80s to work on my cars. The main reason is because I was 30-40 years younger! And everything wasn’t run with computers or electronics. But it is fun to watch you guys doing it. Never had a chance to work on Diesel engines they were only in big trucks back in those days. Will be watching your build to completion. Had a 70 C10 4x4 in the late 70s so this build interests me more than most. Keep up the great work!
Dont be scared to show off your diesel talents bud. If anything you'll gain more customers who see what you are capable of doing than you will lose out on because they decided to do it themselves. A person can already google or CZcams just about any information they need on fixing/repairing vehicles and so a person planning on doing something there self is gonna do it regardless. Good luck love seeing you share your passion and knowledge and keep it up.
If you are painting the engine black and the truck the original orange or some color lose perhaps a good color for engine brackets that will look good over time would be Pewter, cast iron Silver (like a brand new Cast Iron Skilllet) or the silver that was used on 68/69 Camaro’s. My thought is Silver even as it weathered and got a little dirty would still look good.
finally a detailed engine build video its been a while since ive put one together and go with antifreeze green for the motor parts it would pop and look good with the orange in both matte and gloss
This is one of the videos that inspired me with my built motor. I cant wait to see you finish this truck one day. Its going to be badass with the amount of time invested into the chassis and everything.
Definitely set yourself up for the future and go with the brighter orange. Plus it looks like the engine bay is already closer to that OG color so I think it will just look better regardless.
I prefer polished metal over paint. Gloss white would contrast nicely to the black and orange. White is hard to keep clean, but it also points out leaks if any. When clean, it just looks cleaner by nature.
The perfect color is called " Colorado Cheek Red" J/k brother! Thanks for the upload. Ive never seen anyone use a forklift as a engine hoist! Its obvious youve done this once or twice!!!
I think building a motor is a matter of personal preference, i like the Motor room so to speak or call it, I like to do any assembly in that very clean environment so there is no possibility of dust or any foreign matter gets into the corner or pre Lube for cam,crank, etc. i love your channel the just real deal shop were you can spend endless hours doing work that you and many of us love to do. Great channel bud
well i don't know how you would feel about it but there is that classic HEMI orange that would probably be pretty close to that orange you're looking for
I’d say go with a Cream color. Unless going with the exact same orange that you plan on painting it. Seems like it’ll be a off street party truck more than a daily. Cream would be rad.
This is the kind of nittt grittt video i love. Plenty of detail, but not dragged out. Well edited and enjoyable to watch. Keep crushing it my dude, much love from the land down under👍👍🔥

@Damon Reginald Instablaster :)
Best intro in town over here boys
Wyatt deserves way more likes than he gets!
Dam bro get an engine stand. Been building engines for over 30 years would never without a stand.
Hope he keyed the crank and cam
Plum crazy would look sick! I would good with the black, white, and orange.
Engine parts White to match the roof and not just be the same would look bloody cool IMO. When parts look this sexy,is almost a shame they end up inside the engine! Exited to see how she comes out Wyatt, and the journey there!
Illusion orange would be sick for that build
Piston ring windows re-boot....Good job Wyatt and you even checked you crankshaft end-play, well done!
These look great Tiffany teal and white pearl
Blue is a fantastic compliment color to orange. See any movie poster made in the last 10 years.
Looks like Chevy Orange to me, and Chevy Orange is what I suggest.
The orange will be sick
Bout time we saw this get built

Damn dude you going balls out blueprinting that engine,👍👍👍, a real engine builder!!!!
Hugger orange is a gm orange and close to what that interior looks like

I’m a big fan of Alpine Green like the old Detroit engines. I think it would be something no one uses anymore!
I’m glad there’s some folks doing diesel how to videos, I did a head gasket job on my lb7 a couple months ago not knowing anything but it went ok. The shops around here wanted $6000-$7000 and my truck wasn’t worth much more than that.
Engine build done correctly! No plasigauge insight. Props to you dude, not half assing it
Lime green will contrast heaps with the orange
Cyan, orange and black is a classic racing combination and always looks great.
Paint the accessories white to match the roof of the truck 👌🏻
Awesome video! Just paint it silver use silver pin stripe on that orange like gun metal
Smart using the forklift as a adjustable table 👌
Chevy orange for sure 🤘🏽

Bright orange forsure

For me computers have only made troubleshooting and repairing easier. But I do agree sometimes it's nice to work on an old carburated car😁
Chevy orange will always work.
Vibrant orange is great
No plasty gauge. Doing the work to perfection. Good work!
No question about it go with traditional Chevy orange cut that roof little bit I think it would look badass
It's so refreshing to see someone who knows what there doing.. WELL DONE KEEP IT UP..
Can't go wrong with chevy orange engine paint. Keep up the awesome work on this build.
White on valve covers, orange on pan

A shade of grey, darker than lighter, maybe even some metallic flake for some pop. Looking awesome! Dream build for me! Keep it up
Came here from the boosted boiz channel after seeing the c10 build you had going.... lookin forward to watching your build bro
No the cam isn't gonna go chop chop lmfao. U one funny ass dude
Man respect for the blue printing takes crazy amounts of time
Youre shop is sick

they make a spray paint called cast iron that looks good
Yeeeeeeah boiiiiiii. Finally some Wyatt content.
Orange with black accents would look mean.Cant wait to see this beast in action.
Holy hell. Someone that actually mic's instead of plastigauge.
Wasted extra steps. What's wrong with plastigauges?
It’s actually accurate. Go to any real deal engine shop, and have them show you a comparison.
@@RLD_Media What's accurate? The plastigauges? Did you mean inaccurate?
when you want to build a gem, you will use a mic that goes down to 10,000ths for bearing clearance.
plastic wont do that...
Race ready orange! Keep em comin dad bod for days lmao
Ziptied copper plates to the vise bc its a softer metal than steel. Fuckin' Mint!
The wrist pins and rods could pull a locomotive . Super strong 💪
Illusion orange for the power coat .
Chevy orange sense it’s going in a Chevy. Besides, nothing goes with orange except black.
white does
Grey does
Blue.... you know I had to
@@allmarinemaintenance3714 yep, Miss Elstrom
Billet goes with any color.
Nice looking shop sir
GM engine orange. Will look good with the rest of the rig plus keep with the old school look.
ha love it! good to see i am not the only one who improvise bench space to build motors... love the forklift bench
Paint them white! I know they will get dirty as shit but the white would match the top of the cab and provide great contrast to the black block!
OG!!! Chevrolet orange!!!
And if you want a different color besides orange id go with blue. In the right shading of blue. Itll look killer! Maybe like a king coilover blue
Polishing the aluminum engine covers would look rad!
Definitely go with orange for the accent colors, as well as on all piping and turbo. That would be sick!
Nice 👍🏻 work!! Cool motor, awesome project.

I just noticed the Speed Limit 9 & 1/2 Sign In The Back 🤣😂
Don't know how I went from watching someone eating hot wings to this but I like it so I'm staying as a new subscriber awesome editing 💪
NICE CHOICE ON THE RODS ! CARRILLO RODS ARE THE BEST RODS IN THE BIZ...PERIOD !!!
Definitely set yourself up for the future and go with the brighter orange. Plus it looks like the engine bay is already closer to that OG color so I think it will just look better regardless.
Totally match the engine colour with that orange of the truck. 👌
Vibrant orange
Orange block with white valve cover
I prefer polished metal over paint.
Gloss white would contrast nicely to the black and orange.
White is hard to keep clean, but it also points out leaks if any.
When clean, it just looks cleaner by nature.
You should look into total seals gapless top rings. They make it so soot and compression get into your crank case.
Great assembler!
The perfect color is called " Colorado Cheek Red" J/k brother! Thanks for the upload. Ive never seen anyone use a forklift as a engine hoist! Its obvious youve done this once or twice!!!
Amazing video , not too many people posting this
I like to paint the engine a bright color so that if there's an oil leak it's hard to see it on a black engine block
I would take a vibrant green, like Kawasaki lime green or even an fluoressant green!! Would look awesome.. That's going to be some sweet trucky!!
Nice video, I'm glad that you're honest about why you don't do how to videos very refreshing Thank You.
Merry Christmas!
Mmm, tasty raspberry jam cam! Loving the build man, awesome progress. Thanks for showing us how to do it right!

A lil more accurate than a plastiguage
well i don't know how you would feel about it but there is that classic HEMI orange that would probably be pretty close to that orange you're looking for
vibrant orange
Purple pan. Black orange and purple is halloween. Lol
Chevy orange with some pearl in the clear coat!
Keep er coming bud nice meeting you in bradenton. !
Nice table he made! Haha
Go with a candy orange/root beer/copper variant. Will go well with both old and new paint 👍👍👍
You should upload more really enjoy your vids never disappointed. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts
I know it was time lapsed, but watching the camshaft go in that quickly freaked me out a bit.
It definitely explained why he mentioned having a backing plate to prevent the cam from just slipping right through! That was super slick.
Very nice work!👍👍
I’d say go with a Cream color. Unless going with the exact same orange that you plan on painting it. Seems like it’ll be a off street party truck more than a daily. Cream would be rad.
the injection pump has a mark on that engine that is like the duramax engine, true
Thanks for letting me know about the time lapse . I thought you was working really really fast 😂😂😂😂
Good video bro. Hope to see many more
This is the kind of nittt grittt video i love. Plenty of detail, but not dragged out. Well edited and enjoyable to watch.
Keep crushing it my dude, much love from the land down under👍👍🔥
That original paint color on the truck was called "Hugger Orange".
Metallic grey might look sharp but not too bright
Nice video bud and make the cover to look like wood maybe some mahogany lol ✌🏻
A cam shaft you put in first & take out last from the block. That’s what I usually do.
Bright orange block, white pan, valve covers, timing cover. Orange ac, alternator.
