I actually like the short video’s. Makes the work look like it’s a snap. If you are a mechanic- you know better but Scott’s knowledge is 99% of the battle. Learn something every time I watch one.
I really enjoy the videos much more when they are longer than 6 minutes. I know you're busy but you've had me hooked for awhile now. Blessing and keep up the great service that you provide.
At least a dozen years ago I stopped using Hi-Tack gasket spay except for rare applications and instead use Gasgacinch which you can now buy on Amazon or at many parts store, additionally you can also buy at Summit or Jeg’s because Eddlebrock now rebrands as one of their products. The stuff comes in a can with a brush and spreads thinly and easily and unlike “gorilla snot” (weather stripping adhesive) will not spit gaskets and is water and oil resistant but still is easy enough to remove when service of that part/gasket is required.
If you ever get out west towards Jackson, WY, give us a shout. We have an amazing RV site you can stay at and we will hire you to go over our 1994 Wanderlodge with the 8V92. It is a very unique coach and we are putting it up for sale next week. It has been modified/upgraded extensively to be used as an off-grid boondocking machine. It has a complete Outback system with dual inverters (for redundancy and just because), dual solar controllers and 1680 watts of solar panels on the roof with a custom tilting mechanism operated by a key fob, and 1250 amp hours of agm battery bank (brand new) and brand new Michelin XZE tires. Has 70K miles on it. I enjoy your videos as always!
What a blessing for you to be able to work on all these buses. Wish I could bring my Camry to you for maintenance and work that needs to done. Watching from Los Angeles, CA Steve Miller. These bus owners are very very lucky to have you,
Hey Scott, Kevin here from Australia. Wow what a job and a dirty one. But hey one more happy bus. Q. you’ve been on your property for a while now could you do an updated toolbox show and tell. I love watching you bring the old buses back to full health. ✌️. Peace
The drive shaft that would mate up with the blower, looked like the updated version with the coarse splines. I could relate a 5-day nightmare back in '94 where the truck I was driving crapped out due to a stripped out fine-splined shaft. Also chewed the sprocket. The shop I was in ordered the parts (shaft and both end sprockets) but some idiot kept on sending the wrong damn parts, where sprocket and shaft wouldn't mate up because of the different spline setup. After the third failure, my boss back home went to our local shop, got the correct matching sprockets and shaft, and shipped them via BAX. Once they arrived, truck was up and running just after lunch. Glaser Diesel, pretty nice people, but whomever they dealt with for their DD parts was a complete idiot. I mean, GEEEZ, after screwing it up twice, you'd think somebody would look at the damn parts inside the plastic bag to see why they kept getting returned.
Man! Old age and treachery sure came to the fore on that seal! Jerry did a beautiful job of cleanup. That was a chore. There's something satisfying about making things new. Today's task is similar on my end. Going to pull the turbo and intake on a 6.0 Powerstroke today, replacing the oil cooler in the same position. I'll be sucking plenty of oil and detritus from that engine.
Do you have to order a lot of parts, like the seal and gasket? Seems doubtful you maintain a full complement of seals, gaskets, hoses, hardware, etc for even a few common engines. Do you have a place close by that stocks any or they can be shipped to them? Or are most received by mail/UPS etc? Seems like it would be often you get into a job, and find "oh, we need a hoosywhazzit"
I was beginning to wonder where they put the aftercooler in these engines. I would had thought it was before the blower and not after. Last time I had to deal with an oil leak it was in a Ford Focus with a Duratec 20/Mazda LF engine. It is quite common for them to develop a leak around the valve cover. When it happens oil will fill up the holes around the spark plugs and drip onto the heat shield on the exhaust manifold.
@@BusGreaseMonkey that's what I saw as well sir and the amount of old oil still sticking around, the clean up was so good I thought it was another engine. Wow!!! I wonder how much the oil pressure guage went UP? The owner was so happy he left without telling us, HA HA. LOVE THE VIDEOS.
Nice!! Gold star ⭐️ That movie quote is a favorite. And a major embarrassment to me in real life that makes a hilarious story after the fact. Ask me about it in a CZcams live sometime

Jerry is happy. Oil leak stopped and all of that mess is cleaned up

Sometimes you just have to be happy that i got it up and not focused on how long it lasted… ;)
@@BusGreaseMonkey Sounds like someones talking to their wife. LOL
@@BusGreaseMonkey hahahaha
You've created quite the cool little thing for yourself with this Detroit thing going on

Toyota Maintenance channel - I think Peter’s shop is in somewheres in California - maybe near you
@@laurieberg2880 Thank you! Laurie! Awesome! I will look at the channel!
Hey Scott,

Planning on a tool cart video
@@BusGreaseMonkey that sounds like it will be a good video.

Pretty high expectations there! lol Yeah, you would think that.

Hope it went well for you
Glad no bolts broke off. Great for early morning viewing.
Personally I would have replaced all hoses and clamps accessible while the blower was off.
Significance is a great thing... as long as it’s not an oil leak...

Order as needed. Next day or two day shipping in most cases
Title: "...significant oil leak..."
Video: "...massive oil leak..."
Myself: "...that blower is bleeding all over the place..."
So calm. You are the bus Buddha
Always praying that the repairs work🙏
Thats a really nice rig .
Torn gasket, slight understatement! His TOAD should be well rust proofed.
Wow looks like that's been leaking for a really long time!
Scott you ever have the bus Thank You..lol
You do pretty dang Good, for Sure
lots of work for you //go go // they all need help
We have 6v92ta on treasured times. If you ever get to marathon Florida come sea us!
I have never been to the keys. Miami several times but never any further. Hope to someday
@@BusGreaseMonkey we are suspect that we need to replace injectors on out starboard engine on start up seeing fuel on the water
good video, keep them coming
Thank you
Hi Scott why did you not cut the new seal then join back together with super glue put the joint at the top. Done this many times its a 5 minuet job.
Mark Vardy I have done that same thing myself it saves that 8hrs of labor to R and R the blower and turbo
Probably wanted to clean it up
Seems like this is the “right” way to do it. If I’m paying someone to fix my bus this video is how I’d want/expect it to be done.
@@joemaser9122 Amen. If you're on the road and have to improvise, it's good to have some ideas and ability.
where is your Thing ? I miss it //you needed it in so many ways .before
No "thing" jokes for a while. All that work on it and you just keep your thing covered up!
I have been to busy to even think about playing with it
Is a Detroit diesel that isn't leaking some kind of fluid really a Detroit diesel though? 😆
Isn't it factory chassis protection lol
If there isnt oil under it, there isn't oil in it.
Mpg oil loss rate is a real thing ;)
It's better that the fluid leaks just from the air box drains (if that's even a thing anymore) than from the blower drive or any other seal.

Now you know where it is ;)
That was a bad oil leak but fairly common. Thanks!
Curiosity makes me ask, what caused the seal failure? Is that a common problem?
30+ year old rubber and the heat, oil and time combo degraded the rubber. It was just crumbly
@@BusGreaseMonkey that's what I saw as well sir and the amount of old oil still sticking around, the clean up was so good I thought it was another engine. Wow!!! I wonder how
much the oil pressure guage went
UP? The owner was so happy he left without telling us, HA HA. LOVE THE VIDEOS.
Drgnner the clamp was over tightened and shoved the seal between the blower and the blower drive support
@@BusGreaseMonkey The things I learn from CZcams! Thanks.
@@pauldionne1665 that leak won't affect oil pressure till it runs out of oil
This one time, at band clamp...
Nice!! Gold star ⭐️ That movie quote is a favorite. And a major embarrassment to me in real life that makes a hilarious story after the fact. Ask me about it in a CZcams live sometime
Do you have any time frame on building the shop?
Hopefully soon. Just need the foundation done
Shame we didn’t see him drive up the hill with the trailer
He didn’t. He dropped it at the bottom and tyler used his truck to bring it up
How much did the seal cost?
It comes in the blower installation gasket set. All the gaskets about $100
