I started watching your channel when you did a 7.3l rebuild as Greasemonkey101 and don't recall how many years ago that was. I now have 450K miles on my '02 F350 7.3 and it's time for a rebuild. Thanks for the videos and giving me the motivation and knowledge to move forward on my project.
Folks are going to hold on to those old 7.3 PS and 5.9 Cummins for as long as they can and I don’t blame them. They may not put out the ridiculously high torque numbers that the newer smog diesels do but at least they will stay together for a long time.
Oliver of Snowball engineering is the man to watch regarding Line Boring , he made and adapted his line borer ( I think you mentioned Snowball engineering channel). Regarding your wife being into farm animals- good for her, my wife was into other men including the local minister !!! -long gone
I have watched some of the channels You mentioned plus a few others but the one i like best is called Western Truck and Tractor Repair show-casing the talents of this guy named Warren. Thanks for the time and efforts You spend to share things with us. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.
Getting your first pair of reading glasses, Warren, it's like a right of passage. I recall the first time I reached for my glasses and realised just how much I needed them. I am sure you will benefit greatly for having them.
I am dreading the day I will need glasses, I have always heard that vision starts to go after the age of 40 and I am past that by a few years. I have 20/10 vision so maybe I will get lucky and end up with 20/20.
@@ChrisHarding-lk3jjI made it to 44. Now I have dollar store reading glasses located everywhere I might need to use them. Mostly use them for reading as my arms have gotten too short to read without glasses.😅😅😅
@@loveistheanswer8137 I can't imagine not having the amazing vision I have. When I am working on things I can see the most minor flaws. I will spot tiny cracks in things and if I am working with other people they can't see the cracks and don't believe me until they get a magnifying glass to see them.
Another Great Video, Warren. I hope your foot is doing better. I was thinking about making sure the Cam Bearing Oil Holes were lined up, and you took the flashlight and checked. I don’t trust anyone, especially when I have to warranty it. Funny what you said about your Leatherman, we have a saying “they could rip the stuffing out of a ball bearing” Just Insert whatever person or trade in the saying. Leatherman should make a Warren edition. I was wondering about the harbor freight torque wrench, I take the batteries out of my torque wrench after using it, I had batteries leak and ruin tools. Thanks again for dragging us along on the adventure.
my local machine shop takes forever. my dad used to do machinework in the garage i rent but dad passed in june local shop has had a willys flathead to finish hone ,ream new guides to size and valve job new seats, and deck block.still dont have back. am in process of going through dads machines cleaning and changing coolants and cutting oils and will go pickup block and finish myself.
Yeah man I had a snap-on tech wrench as well. The earth connection between the cap & the handle was a problem & snapon knew it was a problem because they changed the design of the handle & incorporated a steel ring around the later versions to preventthe handle from flexing. I tried claiming warranty & each time it was just outside the 12 month period, I only use it a handful of times a year - engine work, compressors & Ariel's & it cost me every time. It would switch itself off while you were using it & you'd be getting close to torque waiting for the beep & it wouldn't. The last time it played up I smashed it to bits gave it back to the snapon man & told him to stick it in his arse. Went & bought a Warren & Brown. Exactly like you say a lot of their hand tools are awesome, but they rely on their name.
Warren you’re a hell of a mechanic I’m a cat field service mechanic but i dont know how the hell you keep up with everything you do with how much of a mess you have everywhere
I have been finally working on organizing my tools better as well, and building up a set for my house. Its easy to just keep "getting by" and putting it off, but its so nice having a nice set of tools handy to actually do what you need to do rather than make 100 trips back and forth.
Great video Warren as always. Hope your foot is feeling better. Again thank you for bringing us along on these repairs. Also the pups are looking good.
I said this a few years ago, i will say it again. You have a great mind, you coulda been a brain surgeon or mega-lawyer. The amount of data stored in your head is amazing.
As far as you foot goes getting it comfortable during and after the healing is a challenge, but being 20 years older I always were cushion socks and a cushion insoles, and I appreciate the mechanical challenge you take on!!
Sorry to hear you mashed your Paw. The Military used FM, VHF, and UHF Comm. Radios in Huey's back in the day. You could get a VHF radio for free when they decommissioned the helicopters. Best wishes for a quick recovery. I got hatched in 1952, myself.
Hey Warren I am independent just like your self, your videos convinced me to buy a texa. So I wanted to say if you need convincing on what line bore to buy I own a York machine tools line bore with there auto welder and have been very happy with it.
This was great… including rando stories too boot. No “boot” pun intended; in fact, sorry to hear about that injury.. I’ve been there, done that & damn that took what felt like forever to “kinda” fully heal! Came across your YT chan here, doing research via YT, besides other sources, for info pertaining to just the lifters in these 7.3’s, as I’m now fairly certain this is the issue I’ve been having with mine these past few months. I use my SD PS sparingly, as I absolutely need her, due to *STUPID FUEL COST &, *audible, abnormal clack noises from @ #3 cyl area (during tests, low to no contribution from #3) *steady oil leak trickle from turbo pedestal I’ve been putting off (injector job was over a year ago now; oil leak began oh, about 4 months ago, not related) replaced them o-rings yesterday, finally! &, *relatively high-ish-kinda millage/time on original 7.3 @ now, 375K on ODO.

Instead, I had bumped her over w/remote start button, to build up some oil into HPOP system & whatever else… starter was already on the frits so, when engine abruptly stopped turning over after maybe 2 rev’s, I figured then that the old starter had finally given out her last puff… which indeed was the case “BUT ALSO”(🤬) not.. at that exact moment the engine stopped turning over using remote started button, my heart about quite for an instant, as it then & there kicked in that I’d forgotten to purge any oil out!! Quickly pulled all glow plugs & did just that. Not a whole lotta oil squirted out but definitely some. Installed new starter (had on hand already from some months pryer, waiting I guess for original to take a poop), reassembled everything and all good.. less that NEW sound, from #3. I’m thinking what had occurred wasn’t full-on hydro-lock but partial… enough oil displacement in cyl, to definitely increase compression, forcing higher then normal compression pressures against valve heads &, subsequently down to lifters.. that whole injector job took oh, over the course of @ 2.5 months, pecking at that w/what minimal “free time” I had then (life!), so 99.9% of engine oil had definitely enough time to make its way to pan. That initial bumping of engine turn-over using damned remote switch INSTEAD OF JUST A RATCHET/SOCKET 🤬, must’ve been enough to fully collapse at least one lifter, bottoming out, increasing odds of staying stuck down! 🤬🤬🤬 We live & learn, daily… No bent valves, no bent push rods or, excessive blow-by. Nor any abnormal intake or exhaust pressure spikes indicated
Great video Warren glad to see this 7.3 going back together. That sucks what happened to your foot. Hopefully it gets to feel better soon. Enjoy your rest while it heals up stay safe Warren.
Glad you’re doing better, take care, rest as much as you can, thanks for the tutorial on the 7.3. I did a lot of line bore work on a lot of different equipment from industrial to construction material heavy equipment, loved the job because every job presented different challenges to deal with, I think you will do well with it Warren. Thanks for the update.
My dad used to call those people that were hard to get through to hard headed and me too sometimes . Warren , those machine shops that forget to send back parts do yourself a favor and take out the gallery plugs before you send the block in , you'll never be in that spot again .
I know you have to keep going, but try to go easy and let that foot heal. Been there done that 1 time too many. I’ve got about 10 years on you and working smarter not harder has become a necessary thing. Good luck
Hey Warren, great to seeing you up and hobbling around. I’m sure after three days you were starting to go stir crazy! Nice you had a little work to do at home. Thanks much for letting us know how you are doing! Stay safe my friend.
Thanks for your videos Warren glad to see your foot feeling better if you’re up and moving around doing engine rebuild on your Leatherman you should be able to send that back and I think they will send you a new one are used to be that way this day and age, probably not give it a tryhave a good day Warren thank you for your videos. I enjoy them all.
Sorry to hear you have a broken foot.i now how you feel.i shattered Mt wrist bake in 1997.i had it pinned together.i wish you had a few more Chevy diesel engine rebuilds.great video though.thanks for all you have taught me from watching your videos
I have the same torque wrench. I love it. I recognized the sound when you started using it. Mine has been through a number of engine, transmission and axle rebuilds. The only thing I can say negative about it is that the battery life seems low.
Glade your on the foot worst I did was brack my back, 4 months off work, I'm ok but I now have Arthritis in my spine, take care, I would miss your videos,
O heck Warren not good news on your foot 😯.at least your close to home working ..yep you have to think of ways to make your job easier if you can .. Love your stories 👍👍👍👍
Hey Warren thanks for another great episode. Them ol 7.3s are indestructible I have one sitting out of a 99 wrecked ambulance. And fyi it is Greg at On Fire Welding and yes you are correct he is a great dude with some awesome equipment. Take care bud.
Hope your foot is improving Warren, I think you and your wife are both lucky to have each other, Josey is sure like my Collie co worker, always around, I watch Ol2Sroker to. Thank you for the video Warren.👍
I’m glad to see a review from a mechanic I trust on that torque wrench. I need a new 1/2 one but didn’t want to pay snap on prices and have been looking at the Quinn one. I think I’ll go pick one up.
Take it easy on your foot, don't over do it. If I was you I would keep the floor where you are working free from things you can step on possibly go over on your ankle of your sore foot, as that will set you back from recovering faster. Best wishes from the UK.
HA! What are the chances. I was in a boot this time last year, but I was having way more fun when I got injured than you were! Hope your hoof heals up soon!
I watch On Fire Welding too Cutting Edge Eng. is pretty cool guy also. IC weld, you need to check him out. He does about the same thing as On Fire Welding does, except in Texas.
Good morning Warren, another great video! However, when you're lifting a crankshaft, whether it's out of a cat Cummins or Ford 7.3, lift with your legs brother! My back screamed when you pick that sucker up. Keep up the good work.
Nice work man, used to do a few of these, but they were pretty stout on the bottom end. Great engine, but expensive fuel system. We could get close to 600000 on these with one injector and H/P oil pump change around 350000. Dang oil leaks in the valley were always a pain in the a## but luckily we didn’t use them in pickup truck applications, much easier to work on in van chassis. Then the classic oil pan dipstick tube leaks grrrr
Did you mean IC WELD, I like that channel. Snowball engineering, that guy is innovative and makes a lot of his own tooling. I got tired of women who lied to me and cheated, that was my experience, I would definitely like to have a woman who raised livestock and was willing to go collect parts . I have an old click type Williams torque wrench, sent out for calibrating and after 20 years, its 2% under reading ! Glad to see you up and around, its certainly hard to keep a good man down.
Same here with the women and the torque wrench. Bought my old Mac torque wrench used in 2001 and it was dead on with the tester tool on Snap On truck last week. Learned many years ago to stay away from most tools with batteries.
The last rebuild i did the machibe shop didnt change out the press in plugs in the heads.(351M) on start up i noticed a ticking and determined it was an exhaust tick. Thought the exhaust manifold. Nope! It was the plug on the front of the passenger side head. Hmm! 1/2" plug. Replaced that without too much difficulty thinking I was lucky it wasn't the other side which was up against the firewall. Ha! The drivers side was also burned through. These are plugs plugging machine holes for the egr system. Now that one was a pain in the ass. I finally figured out that i could weld a cut off 1/2" end mill to a old socket and used my milwaukee ratchet and milked the damn thing out. I made a screw press to push against the firewall and got the new plug in. I was not happy that after all that money they missed something like that.
I had the snap on one too. Totally unreliable junk. I went back to using a sharpie for torque angle stuff and a OG click style torque wrench for the rest. No sense introducing a potential for failure in hardware that will take out an entire build if it fails. 👌👌
Worst torque wrench I ever bought was that snapon fker always dead batterys then you get close to the end and it goes dead - lost it in a shop fire , probably the batteries caught took the shop with it - thanks for the videos
Warren, be careful with the airpump pressure on your support boot. I had one for an artificial ankle replacement and I over pumped it and have myself an ulcer.
what do you think of putting a small line of red locktite on the metal surface of the bearing just to have extra grip so it doesnt have a chance to spin and block the oil feed

That's about when I started watching too.
Thanks for the shout out! It means a lot coming from a professional. I have watched quite a few of your videos. And my name is Greg. Thanks again.

good vid warren
Holy shit Warren,it’s gonna slow a little,for awhile,you not the person to sit around,glad there’s stuff like this 7.3 assembly,get well quick Warren!
Did you mean IC WELD, I like that channel. Snowball engineering, that guy is innovative and makes a lot of his own tooling.
I got tired of women who lied to me and cheated, that was my experience, I would definitely like to have a woman who raised livestock and was willing to go collect parts .
I have an old click type Williams torque wrench, sent out for calibrating and after 20 years, its 2% under reading !
Glad to see you up and around, its certainly hard to keep a good man down.
On fire welding. Not quite as good as IC welding who I watch all of Isaac's videos.

Same here with the women and the torque wrench. Bought my old Mac torque wrench used in 2001 and it was dead on with the tester tool on Snap On truck last week. Learned many years ago to stay away from most tools with batteries.
Ol Wayno is the man! Also Warren check out one of the best KT3406E!
Damn, my main man down!
7 . 3 luv Mine
So nice that these never have to have valves adjusted... don't think i have ever seen it fail either
I remember subbing to your channel after you did one of these seems like 10 years ago now
Warren, here's hoping that your foot heals fast. Don't ruin your good "go to town jeans".
Warren as a guy that sends a lot of stuff to machine shops I take all plugs out before I send anything to them plugs dowl pins ECT .
Best practice if you don't want it lost.
enjoyed your video. What reference is that you have on your laptop for torque specs, etc.?

These are plugs plugging machine holes for the egr system. Now that one was a pain in the ass. I finally figured out that i could weld a cut off 1/2" end mill to a old socket and used my milwaukee ratchet and milked the damn thing out. I made a screw press to push against the firewall and got the new plug in. I was not happy that after all that money they missed something like that.
I had the snap on one too. Totally unreliable junk. I went back to using a sharpie for torque angle stuff and a OG click style torque wrench for the rest. No sense introducing a potential for failure in hardware that will take out an entire build if it fails. 👌👌
Biggest POS I ever owned.
1. Yeah the older stuff is better.
2. I love Quinn products. They seem reliable for the price
Cutting Edge Engineering is Kurtis, Karen & Homey. An informative channel like yours Warren.
BTW you cut up a lean dude without the overalls.
Worst torque wrench I ever bought was that snapon fker always dead batterys then you get close to the end and it goes dead - lost it in a shop fire , probably the batteries caught took the shop with it - thanks for the videos
WARREN, WHEN DON’T YOU RANT & RAVE. THAT’S PART OF THE FUN WATCH YA BROTHER… TAKE CARE….
Im quite sure you can build the engine as you see fit, or as you are comfortable building it
Warren, be careful with the airpump pressure on your support boot. I had one for an artificial ankle replacement and I over pumped it and have myself an ulcer.
Sorry to hear about your foot Warren . Hope you’re not totally banjaxed with that injury. Being a sole proprietor isn’t easy.
👍👍👍
Ouch! Hope your foot heals soon.
Sorry you have a busted foot, Warren. I hope it mends quickly!
Take care and don't work too hard
I was always told that the only purpose of the tang was to ensure the bearing was installed in the correct orientation.
what do you think of putting a small line of red locktite on the metal surface of the bearing just to have extra grip so it doesnt have a chance to spin and block the oil feed
Snowball engineering has some good line boring videos.
