Removing the Detroit Diesel 471, again...
Рет қаралды 92,924
Күн бұрынIn this video I remove the Detroit Diesel 471 engine and get it up to Adrian's for some repairs and improvments. After that I install a shorepower socket for the mains battery chargers and start cleaning up the bildge.

I could do most anything, and I bought a 79 VW Rabbit diesel. The first thing I noticed - was the airbox was soaked with oil. So one day, about a year after I bought, I was driving 80 kmph. All of sudden, the car took off heading for 120 kmph and I had my foot on the brakes, grabbed the park and lifted them. I looked in the rear mirror and there were NO cars - or transports. Just a white/blue smoke, it blotted out the sun. I had already turned off the ignition, so it was running only on crankcase oil. It went for about a km. George was my guy. He started on VW's in 1965 and he was a Lic diesel guy too. He was a big red haired Scotsman. For 2 decades - he was my go to guy. I always paid him in cash - and kept his beer fridge loaded. Cheers!

I have a '42 Willys MB jeep that I had to pull the engine and transmission 3 times, this year, due to oil leaks and synchro issues. Was increasingly more aggressive with the oil leaks, bolt sealants, etc. with each rebuild, etc. - still leaks, just not hemorrhaging oil anymore. Good luck!!!

Stu, I cannot explain how satisfying to watch things come out easy for you. The fact you had to take it out at all was difficult, but that you put in the work to make it easier to remove later paid off (you always have to remove it later, whatever "it" is). I have learned the hard way to do it right the first time, which makes it easier to do it right the second time. I know in my projects, I research as much as possible and then do the work, only to find out I did not know what I did not know, which necessitated doing it again, but this time with experience. I finally get it right, with a few hard knocks along the way, but I don't let that stop me from trying. Cheers, mate!
@DangarMarine 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Seth. I agree, it doesn't seem to matter how much research you do, when you are doing something you aren't familiar with there is always some piece of experience you were lacking that means you need to revist the job once or twice.

I took a different route instead of repairing my old gasoline inboard engine with saildrive in my sailboat. Converting it to electric drive instead after it started leaking oil. Really fun project during the wintertime. And I'm looking forward to not having to deal with the engine oil or rawwater cooling anymore. I also have a gasoline outboard on the boat for making long passages, but for maneuvering to and from the dock the outboard is not ideal. Prefer the inboard those times.

Congrats on getting this all resolved! To add to your "to do"/improvements list, put hinges on the solar/canopy at the wheelhouse so you can just detach the after cables and winch it vertical to access the engine bay. Just winch it back down with engine out or whatever and you still get power from it. Hmmm, the 4(?) brackets aren't in line so hinging would be a really difficult engineering problem.

Hey Capt., are you aware of accumulators? It can hold a few quarts of oil to supply the engine if the pump gets starved. Include a solenoid to keep it shut with switch off, and it will retain pressure for start up too. Look for a dep pan and add baffles to help keep the oil in the well. Grey RTV is a modern DIY gasket used by the entire automotive industry. A small bead on the inner edges is all you need. Great stuff!

When a DD stops leaking... it's out of oil. You will drive yourself nuts trying to stop a DD from leaking. I operated a 671DD for nearly 25 years, probably why i'm half deaf lol but I figured out that if I added a gallon of oil when it was at the low on the dipstick to fill it the next day it would be at low again. If I ran it at the low mark, it would stay there for nearly 40 hours. She ran 8-12 hours a day for 25 years

I think you made the right call removing it and getting it rebuilt again. The worry the motor was hurt would have always been there.
