You always do a thorough job Warren, and it's nice that you threw a shout out to your wife, because she probably knows you better than anyone, and she always gets your running done, gives a hand, and brings you bacon sandwiches for breakfast. God bless y'all.
Warren, your work ethic is beyond what normal workers have. Your honesty and frankness is something which everyone watching should strive for. Your knowledge is superb. You sir are an admirable man. I am full of admiration for you and your skills. I hope that everything that is good in life happens to you. Thank you for all that you do. My regards from the UK
Thanks for the share Warren. "never found a loose one" I live in salt country, NOTHING is ever loose. up here your biggest friends are a drill, good bits, and E-Z outs. Even if you have a hot wrench.... 9 times out of 10 the head of the bolt is rotted away where nothing fits..... well.... usually a metric socket and a bfh to pound the socket on.... but then usually the bolt snaps. here i am 62 yrs old and i'm lookin at getting back into it..... it's all i know it's all i've ever done my whole life, pull a wrench. Hit that like button folks!!
Dang warren your a animal. Just getting after it as as always, I don’t work ( on the job) many Sunday’s . I just recently had a head checked on a C9 they did a valve job and sent it back. I got it back, the high pressure oil galley in the head was plumb full of metal. A lot of machine shops will clean when there done machining but some don’t, your right always check everything that has been machined.
Excellent Video Warren. The engine looks very nice. Keep up the good work. Your videos are very informative and entertaining. I have only rebuilt two or three engines in my lifetime and I enjoyed every minute of it. Your videos bring back wonderful memories of rebuilding an engine with my wife helping me. Excellent bonding time for my family. Sam Allen
Great video Warren sucks when the break part's in shipping. After you had to wait so long to get them. Looking forward to the next video on this engine reassembly.
Feel your pain on the package. Just got a box from RockAuto that looked like it went through a wood chipper, lucky for me the parts were robust enough to take the hits.
Awesome video, I have recently finished the top end on a Cummins 6CTA-8.3 straight 6. Turbocharger and Cooling system upgrade. I really enjoyed the job . Satisfaction in the Cummins rebuild. Yours is top notch well done mate.
Warren, I always learn something when I see your videos cause for all the gas engines I have reworked and rebuilt. I have zero experience on a cummins or a ford diesel. So thanks a lot makes me a little less scared of buying one in the future. The older I get the less i try to remember especially torque values. I just try to remember where its written down. Your an unusal guy who worries bout his mom. Family is important. I am sure your mom and the move will all work out perfect. Keep us informed if any of us can help I am sure we will jump in and help.
I had trouble with my HYD lift to , could not find a bigger hook, so i just put a big shackle on it and ran the slings through the shackle, worked great ? Very nice job.. Thank God for good women, and that bacon sandwich .. See Ya
Your advice on checking all the holes in stuff even applies to remand stuff from a distributor- I was working for distributor and rebuilding a 12 - 149 TIB Detroit- the rods were supplied as rebuilt - put the engine together and put it on the dyno - ran it for a while and it wouldn't idle- pulled off the air box inspection plates and found one hole that was seizing up. Orders were to put another kit in it and reuse the rod - as u can imagine I'm looking at everything - so I took the air nozzle and blew through the oil hole that oils the piston pin - air went through fine but had a strange sound - pushed a welding rod through the hole and it wouldn't go. Investigation found a broken drill bit in the drlled oil galley ... it had been there since new - no telling how many piston/liner kits that rod had ruined... so if the engine was just not being worked very hard things would be fine - but on generators and marine engine applications the lack of oil to the top of the piston will be detrimental to your warranty... so do like Warren says about checking all passages when your rebuilding engines.... nice video - what I do with those long heavy blocks is once you get the crank in it is to put a tall kickstand under the front snout on the crank - just put you some wood or cloth padding on it - you can through that harmonic balancer on the engine about last...
Warren, do they also stamp the heads as well? Truly enjoy watching your videos, constantly learning something new each time. Of all the mechanics out there, you're the best, you share your mistakes, and you don't hide anything. Not many are as honest as you are and not many are willing to share their knowledge like you do. Great video as always. Cheers :)
Nice job Warren, you always make these engines look easy to rebuild ,like I've said in the past wish you lived closer so I could fill your shop with equipment .have a good week .thanks for sharing
Anytime I have seen one of those engines on an engine stand they have used a mount on the right side of the block. It doesn't put as much stress on the mounting bolts.
You're bang on with your comments about manufactures taking zinc out of the oil. I proved it with a little race engine I had, changed brand of oil for some reason and payed the price, no zinc!
We have a wood burning stove. We drilled a hole in the flue pipe and put a feed pipe off a tank high on the wall to one side of the stove and regulated it with a gate valve. In side the stove there was a peace of metal a has the burner. Just get stove some sticks and logs on. Set fire 🔥 and when it gets hot inuff open the valve. Put the heat fan on the top and away she blows.
Warren I built myself a steel table, with steel wheels..a drain hole either end..machined holes with hold downs and raised shims like a machinist table.. Portable crane, which can be attached through pipe sleeves..or straight pipe. To drop in with plate to attach to block and rotate it..
To anyone who's wondering why the difference in technique around the cooling jets, to put it in perspective the rod and piston assembly on an ISX Cummins probably weighs as as much as the turbo on these small 5.9s
I once got over confident on a 258 AMC in a CJ7 I was rebuilding. This was in the day before all your bearings were blister packed in plastic. I guess a some point at a machine shop somewhere they had had 010 us and std bearings out of the boxes on a bench to compare or something ,who knows. You can guess the rest . Didn't look at the bearing measurement on the bearing itself just the box. 010us on a std crank and no oil pressure when I fired it up. I still 30yrs. Later double triple check everything and still wake up in the middle of the night and think did I look at that.
You could cut a hook out of 3/8 - 7/16 flat metal , exactly how you want the hook for the cherry picker and drill the pin hole . Those engine stands are made of cheap soft metal , they bend with V8 car engines , really a heavy engine needs more than 4 bell housing mounting bolts to the engine stand , cast iron will break , I think your better off building your own engine stand out of heavier steel with more mounting bolt holes , considering what they cost and what you end up with , or build you a (about)3 foot tall HEAVY table (with legs wide enough it wont turn over from the top heavy weight) to set the engine on in different positions , that bending over over all the time is a back breaker . Lubriplate was the standard for installing all engine bearings years ago , now days all kinds of assembly lube`s each one is the best made to hear them tell it , in later years I used STP oil treatment on gas engine bearings an add the rest of the can to the engine oil until the oil was changed the first time .
Thank you Warren hope you'll do a video of resurrection of the old service truck for Trent, plus, if you ever do write a book, can I have a signed copy ?.👍
We tried to order a fuel pump from our local Dodge dealership. The parts guy said it’d be at least 40 days before they would get it. “Building Back Broke”…
hooker trouble, what if you welded a slip hook back to back with the grab hook. Its a light duty lifter afterall. I'm sure JBWeld will fix them rings up in a jiffy.
Never found a loose one sounds like my old man when I was growing up every time I worked on something he swore I used a piece of pipe to tighten it with but I didn't
I wouldn't trust those rings. Ag kits always treats people good it seems tho. I've had issues with rods from them but next day they had parts to me. Put that engine on stand using passenger side engine mount spot on the block.
Warren if the rings are as fragile as that, do you want to use them at all? if they break in the engine, as I am sure you know well, there is a high risk of scored bores.
I see shippers every day. Im a delivery driver. They have little time to pull orders, sometimes they pick the wrong size box, or dont have packing bubbles, or both. Sometimes the shippers arent too bright or careful. Maybe the shipping manager is short handed and has to hire any warm body..its not skilled labor. When you can, especially for hot jobs..open the box asap!!! Nothing is guaranteed to arrive alive. I even delivered a 6 cylinder long block to a chevy dealer last month..the thing had rolled over..stuff was busted..i picked it up two weeks later, for return ..the engine was for a dealer techs daughters car. He wasnt happy
Heard from a guy who used to work at a UPS facility unloading their trailers at night. He said that they were instructed to purposely cause the piles of packages to free fall. Something about big screen TVs being broken and much more. Don’t know how common that practice is but it’s not surprising considering the uncaring attitude of people.
Warren , do you always replace the injector tube on the 24 valve 5.9? I'm replacing the injectors in it because rough idle and smokes really bad at idle.
There is info for 24 Valve Cummings, like "valve lash measurements AND adjustments should only be performed when the engine coolant temperature is less than 60°C (140°F). Valve Lash Limits: (Inspection) Intake: Minimum 0.152 mm (0.006 inch) Maximum 0.381 mm (0.015 inch) Exhaust: Minimum 0.381 mm (0.015 inch) Maximum 0.762 mm (0.030 inch)", but what is minimum ambient/engine temperature for lash adjust/measurement? For new valves with stems, do you need to go max and later readjust after seating/burn in period?
Of course you have to say Chevron Delo doesn't lubricate good enough. I use the delo SDE. Is it different than the LE, or should I stop using the SDE? It says 50% better wear protection right on the jug, but better than what...I don't know.
Very interesting when you say ring and piston failure do you think it was cooling or oil caused? Had the same year 5.9 number 6 cylinder same problem looked liked a cooling problem to me.
Really you need some of that oil on your hands ( winter time ,dust & dirt , washing parts , washing your hands & etc....) , all that dries your hands out , cracks your knuckle skin open and cracks open finger tips around the finger nails . When I worked underground my finger tips stayed cracked open around the edge of my finger nails , the cracks keep getting bigger an wider , first thing you know they ache all the time , I use to take a razor blade and cut the lips of the cracks off down as far as I could >>> instant relief ..............
Google zinc engine oil additive. Wow! what a can of worms. I didnt know. Anybody with older engines best learn all about zinc..and watchout..zinc tears up catalytic convertors for you newer rides..

Definition of Warren= the man who not only fixes the problem, he goes one step further and fixes the cause of the problem. Job done and done.👍
Just overhauled the same engine, took over a month to get a .020 rebuild kit. Makes me feel better that even famous people can't get parts.

Thanks Warren. Busted parts out of the box would make me blow an eyeball!
I've been waiting on this video.
Ain't nothing like a great Cummins rebuild by the man.
I was watching you assemble the motor and a tractor rode by, I almost thought I had smell and sound o vision! Thanks for this upload
Nice job putting that engine together Warren. I always enjoy it when I see your videos come up. Thanks much for sharing your videos!

I always like to watch you rebuilt engines love that stuff 👍⚒

Always good too see a tidy rebuild, on cleaning the swarf out of the galleries, I always used solvent, bottle brushes and air
We have a wood burning stove. We drilled a hole in the flue pipe and put a feed pipe off a tank high on the wall to one side of the stove and regulated it with a gate valve. In side the stove there was a peace of metal a has the burner. Just get stove some sticks and logs on. Set fire 🔥 and when it gets hot inuff open the valve.

I have a lot of shipping damage on stuff too. It looks like the shippers run over or toss it off the truck before it gets here. Thanks Warren!

Like the haircut.
Still think red would be cool plus it makes it easier to see any leaks vs black
Thank you for sharing Warren.
Great Video Warren! Good luck with Mom.
I got it shipmate...I never found a loose one either...
You need a wireless mic you can clip onto your collar so you can be heard. For when you put camera down
Never found a loose one sounds like my old man when I was growing up every time I worked on something he swore I used a piece of pipe to tighten it with but I didn't
Here's some Ad Revenue.

good vid this one , cheers ,
I wouldn't trust those rings. Ag kits always treats people good it seems tho. I've had issues with rods from them but next day they had parts to me. Put that engine on stand using passenger side engine mount spot on the block.
Hey, good morning Warren!
Waky waky, eggs & baky!

You don't look the same with out your cover alls and your hat on!
Warren if the rings are as fragile as that, do you want to use them at all? if they break in the engine, as I am sure you know well, there is a high risk of scored bores.
Them vacuums are the tits, I have the old one like that and the pistol grip one and they are awesome for small jobs
good vid warren
FREEZING IN BC. it is cold as ice up here, i amnot going outside
You can make packaging fool proof but you can't make it damn fool proof.
Waiting for parts - waiting for broken parts - frustrating!
👍👍👍👍right on man... another good one 👍👍
That’s bloody heartbreaking, waiting a long time for broken parts ! why don’t they protect fragile parts properly ?
I see shippers every day. Im a delivery driver. They have little time to pull orders, sometimes they pick the wrong size box, or dont have packing bubbles, or both.

@@pootthatbak2578 so long as you are happy that you have done your share fairly, I have seen damaged stuff reboxed and sent on to avoid liability
Good work sir 😎
If you are like me you can only sit still a short time without working on something. I sometimes work awhile on holidays before the family gets here.
Did you have injectors checked? Thought you said on tear down that #6 wasn’t spraying proper & caused the carbon to break rings on that cyl.?

Warren , do you always replace the injector tube on the 24 valve 5.9? I'm replacing the injectors in it because rough idle and smokes really bad at idle.
I'm glad I came across your channel. After two years or so how is the engine rebuild from AgKit holding up?
I guess it's alright, haven't heard anything from him.

Those load cells can be a real bitch to get off I have used a 1 inch gun torque multiplier and heat before.
The best there is🥇
Hi Warren.Was there not a modification to the block to get better coolant cooling to #6 cylinder?
Of course you have to say Chevron Delo doesn't lubricate good enough. I use the delo SDE. Is it different than the LE, or should I stop using the SDE? It says 50% better wear protection right on the jug, but better than what...I don't know.

Oh Warren The Great if possible take your time and be technical as possible on this rebuild. Just asking.
Hiya Warren. Did you fix the pickup with the transmission fault. If you have what was wrong?
Not yet.
@@westerntruckandtractorrepa1353 You do seem to still have a lot on mate!!!
why dont you try a TEQ stoole
Where's the helper?
They took the zinc out of all of them. Supposed to not be good for the new emissions systems.
Yes, take care of your Mom...
I work 7 days a week
I work 6 Days a week as a diesel mechanic
Busy as you are DONT forget to have a day off , you need to recharge the old brain cells. Stay safe 🇬🇧
what did you do with the block? it looks like it's new.
most likely it was hot tanked at the machine shop.
You better give that woman a BIG kiss,,,,,she is a good woman,,,,
Wouldn't know what to do without her.
A20 year old truck is it worth it
It is when you can't get a new one.
The trouble the new one are having I don’t want one I’ll keep running my old caterpillar and screw California
Really you need some of that oil on your hands ( winter time ,dust & dirt , washing parts , washing your hands & etc....) , all that dries your hands out , cracks your knuckle skin open and cracks open finger tips around the finger nails .
