I just finished rebuilding a 4-53 from an old Terex loader for my boss to take to his gold mine in Coldfoot. With the help of your videos I was able to pull it off. You have answered many questions I had along with a tremendous amount of additional information. My most kind thanks for the trouble you went to preparing these uploads. very concise and to the point. thanks to you, I have a huge amount of brownie points built up! Instant LIKE and SUBSCRIBED! Greetings from Alaska.
I'm so glad I found your channel, you're demystifying my Detriot. My 653 Marine series gets clean fuel, regular oil changes and run all the time. After 7000 hours it starts right up, doesn't smoke, burns and blows a tiny bit of oil, and runs like a clock. Eventually, I'm going to have to do something. Thanks for taking the extra time to make these vids.
You're welcome.:) I thought it might help guys like yourself and others that own these engines to not only tune them, but rebuild them as well. Since I own several Detroits I thought I'd make up some detialed videos of rebuilding and tuning them. I also drive a Silver 4-53T daily and do several updates every year on maintainance and running alternative fuels. I still have several more Detroits in the pipeline that need rebuilding, so will continue with the videos.:)
Wonderful, I know it's a lot of extra work running the camera and doing the editing. You're doing an excellent job of multitasking. Very concise and on point. Really educational for a guy like me who's not afraid to get his hands dirty. @@detroitgarage9430
Great video. I'm about to try this on a 57 4-53 that we overhauled. I did one a long time ago and ran the buffer in too far. (the governor was faulty) the engine ran away and scared the crap out of me. luckily I was able to quickly hit a fuel fitting and cut off fuel. I heard they will run away and suck the oil from the crankcase until they self destruct. When they are running right there is nothing like a Detroit Diesel. Thanks for the help. you know your D.D.A.s
thanks for posting this. i suspect my 453t should have a bit more oomph in it than it does. i dont get any power until about 2100 rpms. your video has me wondering how sloppy things are.
It's worth a look at your governor and run through the rack as well. I would also advance the timing on your injectors to 1.46"-1.47", that will make a big difference. Do you have 5C60's? Thanks for watching and subscribing.:)
That's ok, download a manual and both the throttle delay and fuel modulator are covered. They give detailed explanation on the tuning of them. Thanks for watching.:)
I have a 371 with 4 valve head with n45 injector and i can't find the height measurement for that application, i would really appreciated for any info on that
i totally want one of these engines now. I hope I can find one local here in south Florida. if anyone knows where I can get one around here let me know. thanks
They are around and do come up for sale from time to time. Join Detroit Diesel Enthusiasts there's bound to be someone in your area that has one for sale. Thanks for watching.:) facebook.com/groups/247756565312885/
@@detroitgarage9430 Thanks I watch all of your videos.Is the injector height set at 1.484.This has been a great little motor.Beleave it or not but it is in a 45 foot sailboat and it pushes it at 6 knot's.

One can not understate how much easier this is now, before you get it in the truck!
True.:)
CZcams told me about the first start before this one. Those Jake Heads make things more troublesome for sure. Nice job explaining the tuneup.
Thanks Luke.:)
Thank you sir! This helps a lot. I will be attempting this on my 3-53N soon. Keep the videos coming!
I’m glad this helps and thanks for watching.:)
Very thorough. Nice job!
Thanks, I'll be going into some details of the turbo's, bypass blower setup in future videos as well as the engine mounts.:) Thanks for watching.

In my shop manual it say when your injector follower is fully depressed then ajust your valve
And its a 6v 53 det
Yes that is correct, when the injector is fully depressed, the valves are closed. Thanks for watching.:)
How to adjust ide 2 71 Detroit engine on governor
It depends on the governor you have. Is it a Variable speed or limited speed? Thanks for watching.
I have a 371 with 4 valve head with n45 injector and i can't find the height measurement for that application, i would really appreciated for any info on that
I’ll have a look tomorrow for you, I believe they are 1.46”.
I've checked the manual and it's 1.46" for standard cam timing and 1.484" for advanced cam timing.:)

@@keithralston3950 Nice, do you know what injectors you have? I’ll check the manual in the morning but I believe the 2-53 is 1.46” injector height.
Had a look at the manual and and for marine they were fitted with either N40's or N50"s at 1.46".
