The bus updates are the best. Can't wait to see the exhaust leak done.
Thanks!
Got to say hello Jason . Watching to replace the water pump on the bus . Saturday July 22-2023 . Your need to visit the Back To The Bricks in Flint Michigan. In August . Have the rest the day tunes out better .
Better change that timing chain while your in there, got a lot of play that I can see 👍🏼
It wasn't to bad. Plus I need it running tomorrow morning.
Red Wrench on the bolt always helps. I recently had the same problem on an 87 F150 with a 5.0, ended up having to drop the oil pan in order to get the timing chain cover back on.
Dude, you cannot try and get out a bad nuts without putting all of the bolts back in and then you take the bad bolt out first, so it has no tension from the plate or manifold or whatever is holding it I hope this helps you in the future. This is one of the best tips you’ll ever learn.😊
Great video. Been out of touch. But, glad to see you are steady in making improvements and repairs to the bus. Keep up the great work.
Hey Thanks Bryan!
This takes me way back i use to repair all my own water pumps todays mechanics just replace them with new .When you remove caseing give them a lick of paint they always look better .When i use to overhaul engines i use to paint them before putting them back people use to say they look like works of art .😂😂🍻🍻
The good ol days!
Great job with that old bus ! Reminds me of the school bus I rode in as a kid in AZ. It was about the same size, but it was an early 50s International. Great memory of the nice bus driver who would let us kids take turns operating the swing out stop sign.
Hey Thanks! That's Awesome!
That's the trouble with old vehicles if it's not one thing it's another.
But once you replace everything it will be like brand new.
The bus has come a long way after its life was saves from the woods.🚌🚌🚌😁😁😎😎👍👍👍
Hey Thanks!
There should be drain plugs on each side of the block to help you catch the coolant before removing the timing cover, which is worth your time in Eco-Oregon.
Good job, Jason! It takes a lot of patience to deal with these old buggys. There is seemingly always something that breaks, quits working or you can't find the right part. I wish I could get out there to Oregon to meet you and go to the car shows but I'm on the opposite coast. Maybe one day, though. We've got friends and a family member who live in your area! Best wishes and keep on turning those wrenches!
Man.....I sure hope those grub-screws hold on that shaft. Gotta do what you gotta do though. Binge watching the bus videos on a cold Sunday.
Hey Thanks!
great work mate, timing looks good, nice to take a look in there
When you do the exhaust manifolds be sure to resurface the manifolds because they don't use gaskets from the factory.
Ok, someone else also advised that I do that. I better not skip that step...lol. Hey Thanks!
Those bolts needed JUICE and HEAT , that always works for me . I use the death wheel only as a LAST RESORT ! Great save on the very cool classic !!!
Very fortunate for you, not having lineup pins sticking out of the front of the block. Otherwise, you would have been dropping your oil pan. On the 5.0 it is such a tight fit. Hopefully no coolant went down in your oil pan.
Man what a pain...lol
Just the fact that you back the bolts in both directions saved your bacon more than once. Try to use a socket instead of a wrench as a go-to. Always use OEM if possible otherwise you must use bolts with the same hardness and size, pitch etc.
Damn. That's alot to have to do for a water pump 😮 I hope it lasts till the next guy 😅
Good Video Jason, I was looking back and forgot to give you a 👍🏻,,, I had the same thing with a timing cover bolt,once the cover was off,turned it out with two fingers 💪🏻😜
Thanks! I was ready with extractors and a welder and everything, expecting a struggle but nope. It was just sitting there...lol.
Also , I do not like to use 12 point wrenches to remove old , rusty bolts . They increase the chance of stripping.
Totally.. Hey Thanks!
Another CZcamsr had much better luck with Seafoam Deep Creep than with PBBlaster, might work. might try it myself at some point. I also like to keep the impact gun on it longer and just try to eventually pulverize the rust with it. And maybe acids like Vinegar? You might also have been able to use the cutoff wheel on just the nuts and saved the bolts, and 6 sided sockets on both ends instead of that combination wrench might have prevented rounding.
While I was in there I would recommend replacing the timing chain set.
I should have...
Whoosh that was a little bit of pain to watch:)
Where have you been during this period? I miss you. Greetings and peace to the honorable family
Ahmed we been dealing with a very large wildfire in the forest near us but today it's raining so this should really help. Thank You @ahmedal-prince6438
On that lower right bolt. hit it with a hammer until it starts to mushroom a bit, but not so much that the wrench won't fit. The shock waves will travel down the bolt better than oil and break up the rust. Also, work it back and forth at least 20 times before removing it, even pressure back and forth before breaking it loose helps.
At least the broken piece of the bolt wasn't seized.
Another great video. Love this bus.
Better next time heat bolts before start removing these. Whike heat destroys all the junk in there wgat holds it back.
Also every bolt what comes out put new one in while all these are so weak anyway.
Also is good idea always run over all the threats before put new bolts in. Just to be sure it is clean inside. Wash also with break cleaner.
Nice work!
Thanks!
Cant believe that broken bolt came out by hand... Crazy brother!! And thanks so much for the shout out at the end of the video!! Definitely didnt expect that...
I was like, WTH? 😆
I was ready for a struggle...lol
I Appreciate Your Support!
Thanks Chaz!
Thanks for another , Brother !!
Didn't Chas do a whole episode on rusty bolt removal? Anyway, my advice on exhaust bolts is hit them with penetrating oil (Deep Creep?) now, a week in advance and then pound them straight inwards with a hammer as hard and as many times as you can without making it difficult to fit the wrench on the hex. The shock waves travel down the bolts to the threads, help the oil wick there as well, and break up the rust on the threads because the rust is more brittle than the steel. Don't miss and crack the cast iron manifolds though.
I was surprised you didn't paint the timing cover
Definitely thought about it, but then I need to paint the rest...lol
On Ford engines they leak oil right there at the timing cover to oil pan spots it's good to put RTV there in the future.
Thanks!
The bolt breakage is from stress-corrosion, but I bet it was 90% corrosion and only about 10% stress in this case.
Hey Jason 👋, exhaust leaks are not fun. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend 👋
Thanks! Dang right...lol! You as well! Take care!
Never saw such a stout timing chain cover.
Totally...lol
That bolt had definitely been over-tightened by someone before you. It looks like it broke where and when it did because the threads in the stretched region, which are out of pitch, reached the threads in the timing cover. Because the bolt and hole thread pitches didn't match, it put a lot of stress at the stretched region and it broke. The remaining part was loose because it didn't contain the out-of-pitch part of the bolt. You were holding most of the out-of-pitch part in your hand.
Vas muy bien!!
Thank You!
nice good luck at the show
Thanks!
Nice video
That engine mount bolt can't be tight if it's liquid 😂
True...lol!
Yes the Elcamino
Soon Joe! Thanks!
Front main seal!
Oops..lol
Great job, man! Ready for the show!
Thanks!
That great
Thanks!
Hello from the coast grandson and me
Hello!
what is up brother?!!! noticed you still had your OCF wrist band on..... thats awesome!!! im guessing that car show was today, i missed it =( anyhow, just realised you have a few new videos i havent seen yet, so ill catch you later. youre killing it btw.....
You might want to change the oil after dumping coolant in it when you removed the timing cover. Do it after you remove the bolts that go through the cooling passages that you didn't put sealant on, or you're just going to piss coolant in the oil.
I did put some gasket majer on the bolts and gasket surface. Plus changing the oil as well.
Looks like exhaust is next 😅
That's right!
👍👍
Shud be loads of parts for the holy roller in the US no?😮
Not loads but the right people do have nos parts
Motor was rebuilt at some point
Sounds like manifold gaskets
Yeah I need a new exhaust manifold now, it's cracked.
Just wondering if that last long bolt that runs into the water jacket was an issue later. I didn't see you apply any RTV on that replacement bolt!
(I know this is a months old reply but whatever!)
I did, I guess I didn't show it.
Sounds like the exhaust manifold is leaking around only one cylinder.
Yeah it's got a few big cracks in the manifold. Going to swap it out soon.
I just noticed that as I watched a newer video. Love that old bus though. I loved how well it cleaned up. God bless you.❤️❤️
@kentworch Thank You! God Bless!
Could just weld the cracks if its a cast iron manifold. But i guess you already have one to replace it with so.@@CountryBoyGasGarage
@@killerdeamonking I Do
You should drop a Chevy ls 5.3 truck engine in it.
After this one is done I might!
Why are you NOT painying parts before you reinstall the originals back on ?? I thing it is a perfect opportunity since you have removed them to start with !
It's Friday 1:14 pm checking in .want to see soon a vedio . I've been following now 1 1/2 years . Were 59 el comado Chevy working on .Gordon .bws live chat it's Friday
🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
You need to get some Ratchet wrenches.
Yes I do!
would have taken you 5 minutes to put a new chain on. you were already in there and it was stretched you could see the slack in the video. and you should have changed the oil you could clearly see coolant in the oil pan.
I was extremely pressed for time at that moment. I did change oil and now I have a cracked exhaust manifold that I need to replace
How worn is that timing chain? should that have been checked while exposed?
Not worn much at all. Almost like new.
Go gettem doin a 56 chev I swear ever Sam nut and bolt is rusted bad . And I hate the fire wrench ! So
How's the timing chain?
It was good.
Hey Brother , when are you going to get started on the El Camino ?
He had to fix the bus first for the Emerald City Shakedown. 1:36
Soon, I needed the bus ready for these events
so you have to change the oil to
I will to be safe
21:26 Didn't do the Grease trick?
Just a bit of gasket maker
PAINTING i meantm )))
I love all the work but the cost of parts these days is ridiculous so why didn’t you really clean the pump housing and pump and paint it? Now you have to go back and do another job
आपण जे बोलत आहात ते आमच्या मराठी भाषेत आम्हाला समजेल अशा भाषेत व्यवस्था करु शकता का.
Yes I will
you are eather real patient or you edited a lot of cussin
Lol...both
shudda put some paint an those parts while you had them out?
One more reason why I hate ford's, lol
😆
It's all good ..but that bus is getting old ...need different content ..u said u'll get on the ol rat rod then ..an inventoried the 59 ..sorry but getting old seeing that bus mus be ur daily or Else wouldn't get so much attention
Had to get it ready for these summer time events. The Bus was a special guest at these events but now back on to the El Camino!
You don't know how to use a wrench first off you need a six point not a twelve point
😆
Might I also mention no mechanic of any professional experience uses power tools on an engine .Leave that to the amateurs ! Hand fit parts on engines and hand torque only !!!!!!!
Hmmm....good advice
Should have replaced the timing chain, it's very slack.
I should of but I do plan on doing a complete overhauling soon
