As far as talking too much goes, when you're describing technical minutia or how something failed or why you're fixing the way you are, I really enjoy it. Especially as I'm just a shade tree mechanic wrenching on my own stuff to save what money I can, so I never get to see anything like this. And the opportunity to watch over the shoulder of a master mechanic and pick up knowledge is priceless.

Same here I enjoy when you explain stuff an talk about it. Or when you are telling stories to. Love your videos Warren.

Why on earth would someone complain you talk to much. It’s how we learn stuff, and personally I really like the stories you tell.

What a touch with the dial depth gauge set up. It is fun and makes you feel good to fix broken stuff! All I can say is your customers are some LUCKY people!!! They should remember you at Christmas for sure!!

I always use vegetable oil. It was cummins recommended so I use it on all liner rings now. Thank you for every video. I watch you faithfully. I own a truck shop in eastern Va. I have been in the business of truck repair for 40 years and I learn something new from you all the time. Thanks again.

Love the Talking Warren very Informative keep up the good Work.

I learn more just from Warren talking about this and that than I ever will in a book, very informative channel keep up the good work.

You don’t talk enough warren!

Great video and the install of the piston demo was absolutely picture perfect! I was happy when you had that issue with the ring and explaining to not be in a hurry during this process! Those are the kind of things you hope will happen during filming! Great job Warren!

Another master class on engine rebuilding. Thank you Warren! P.s. Truly enjoy when you explain the reasoning of why you do things a certain way.....like a college professor.

I wish there were more guys like you around, someone that takes the time to do a good job

Thanks for the commentary, very interesting. I appreciate the effort you put into the videos.

I like and appreciate your talking and description, it helps make the video's much better, keep it up. It's always a pleasure to watch you assemble a engine or internal components, you're so meticulous and precise.

The snap ring info is perfect, a lot of people do not understand that snap ring orientation is important.

warren you don't talk too much it's how we learn please keep up the hard work thank you

without you, sir America would literally grind to a halt! thanks for always being there to get u.s. back going again, that's why I love it when you get hot under the collar that's when the engineers should be around to learn what could be made better, again thanks for showing up to work every day.thoughts and prayers!!!

Hearing your ongoing talk is good. Let's us know more of what might be important points and not so important points. And, your positive approach is good to hear.

Keep up the good work, your the first wrench I have found on here that shows the whole process and explains everything very well. Not to mention you obviously have a hell of a skill set with the variety of stuff you work on, thanks for taking the time to make these videos!

Warren. You just talk as much as you need to. I enjoy your vids every day. I have learnd so much watching them and I'm no back yard mechanic. You take real good care and stay safe. Thanks again Warren.

You're a good mechanic, I've learned quite a bit watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge with all of us out here in computer land.

After 40 years experience I'm pretty good at what I do. Not so much on these new engines, but welding and mechanical maintenance. How in the world can one man have so much knowledge about so much stuff. Warren is a rare breed. Would love to work with him for a week for free. Glad my 4044M doesn't have a turbo!

context is everything Warren! Keep up the good work! OMG those VGT turbos can be a lot of drama...........the Switchblade design ive seen Jpaydirt (youtube) talk about and demonstrate is the Future. Its simple, few moving parts and really no way for something to go down the intake. As always thanks for sharing, one of the best channels ive subbed to )) At least with wet liners you dont have to go thru the whole "liners in the freezer" thing before installation. Lanolin doesnt harm rubber and plastic also.

please warren love the commentary the more the better other wise how do we learn what your doing im old school born 1964 keep up the good work , you are truly blessed with many many skills , i always said to my self this guy has the knowledge of 10 men blessings to u and family .

If Warren gets stumped then Ol Pete must be a real badass mechanic.

Talk as much you like,Warren, love all of it, more the better

Thank you for sharing all the tips, tricks and explaining everything step by step. Your channel is my favourite Warren.

An old Cat manual would likely tell you to use SAE 30 for everything.

Here is #3 piston. Oh Shit. What a disaster. Great video, Warren.

A lot of hand cleaners have alcohol in them so I suspect that's why they say don't use it for o ring lube. I enjoy the talking as you show things. I learn a lot more with the explanation.

Really enjoyed this video Warren, your little bits of knowledge shared is wonderful. You have years and years of experience that is incredibly valuable. Thank you for sharing it with us. Your great !

I really enjoyed the test drive and the rebuild with the S50 hay squeezer. That's the engine I want to put in my project truck. Keep right on talking. I pick up things about the John Deere, Cummins, and the T444E engines you work on. Never stop learning.

Your not talkin too much,roll it dude!!

Great video and keep on explaining, it's been like 30+ yrs since worked on engine like this.

I realy like the tractor videos , especially the John Deere ones. Everyday I work with John Deere tractors and feel like I learned al lot about them true your videos.

God bless your hard work warren ,man I really enjoy your videos

Awesome video, keep talking in them . I sure do learn a lot from you. Thanks again for putting in the time to film and edit.

Just done 2 cyls on earlie 6068 I used tire soap for years .good video .

I had a thought about the o rings. Maybe they say to not use oil on them to install because of swelling so you use dish soap to install them then once they are in place, oil eventually gets to them and swells them up in the block to help seal/hold things tight? Just a thought! Stay cool, Warren.

When the 92 series Detroits first came out, they had a lot of trouble with liner seals failing and getting coolant in the crankcase, we got a number of warranty jobs from RoadwayTruck Lines because they had lot of new trucks with 6v92s. Detroit went to a different material for their liner seals, and they never had that problem afterwards.

Warren, sounds to me like you do jobs the right way! (which anybody in this line of work would know) And your buddy Pete does a lot of dealership repairs or more than likely replacements. We all know how dealerships operate! Anyways, you put out the best content on KZfaq as far as diesel repair goes in my opinion! I can't tell you how much I have learned from watching your videos! I have been doing a lot of automotive repair lately but look forward to getting into the diesel side in the near future! I always look forward to seeing your next video! As always, stay safe out there! Dan @6-4_Fab Glen Rock, PA, USA!

If I reuse the main bolts when rebuilding my pellet mill it will shear the heads off every time when it’s running again. I know it’s two completely different machines but it shows bolts can become week when torqued right up then loosened and then tightened up a second time. They are big Allen bolts and require a torque multiplier to achieve the recommended tightness. I just use the inch drive and dog it to the max now, fed up messing with the multiplier. Good job as always Warren 👍

I've changed liners only once,on a 70's Cat D5.The workshop manual said to use lithium soap on the liner seals,which threw me for a while! After doing some internet research i found they meant lithium soap GREASE.I'm still a little embarrassed i missed that

Thanks warren for another video really appreciate the time you put into these videos👍🏼

Another great video sir you are such a excellent teacher and you in my opinion you do not talk enough

video content is superb keep doing what you do, I really enjoy it

Brilliant informative video,thanks from UK.

Unfortunately the story about reusing rod bolts, that's one of those times my Dad would have said son the best lessons in life are learned the hard way. I must have taken it to heart because it seems everything I learn is the hard way. He also said if you ain't making mistakes you ain't doing nothing.

Last time I looked it was “your channel”! Don’t worry what the trolls say, do what you think is right! HD mechanics love to discuss these very issues, my brother is a HD Mech and he talks my ear off and that’s how I learned! Keep up the good work.

If you want something for hitting, stop by the home center and pick up a couple sample blocks of synthetic deck material, Usually they have a few hundred color sample blocks, no sawdust.

Thank you for sharing Warren enjoyed watching and the tips! take care and safe

It's just a good practice to use fresh bolts on anything that is under load or on a rotating mass. In a internal component

I had the vgt seize at low boost on a few tier 2 6068 kohler generators. Luckily the vgt failed at minimum boost and it rolled coal the next morning then faulted out. The oil drain tube bolt closest to the block on the turbo deserves a cus word that hasn't been invented yet!

Great video, I learn a lot with you sharing your expertise, your the wizard and know how to make the broom fly

Talk all you want Warren your a damm good teacher

On the old Cleveland diesels, we used to use Murphy Oil Soap on the liner Orings. Seemed to work fine.

When I installed liners in most diesle engine I have worked on the tech manual said to lube the o rings with vegtabje oil and it worked great.

Mack includes a special o-ring lube with their muzzle loader (piston and liner) kits for the MP series engines.

strange why the turbo piled up, unless it's a common problem with that turbo, perhaps a piece of casting flash or something came loose in the exhaust runner (were all the exhaust port extensions good?) and went through the turbo, causing it to self destruct.. The problem is if you get any piece of metal in there, it'll hit the turbo vanes and turbine wheel repeatedly, the gas tries to push it inward while the centrifugal force pushes it outward, and when things are moving at 100,000 RPM, impacts are pretty intense. I think any exhaust manifold ought to be designed with a bit of a siphon in it to prevent the shrapnel from being able to go back into the engine Looks like a great channel, Subbing!

If someone says you talk too much. I say The hell with them. I have said it before. Sir the you way of explaining things would make you a very good teacher. I know you really don't care what the option(s) are for the most part. I always enjoy your videos and content you put out. Have a wonderful and safe day. :)

Talk all you want. It makes the video smooth.

You've got some GREAT content on your channel. I just had to subscribe!

I'm going to say this once if any person says he doesn't do great work then they need slapped this man is a great mechanic I wish he could work for me

Warren, great video and explanation! You mentioned that they were in a hurry to "just slap it together and get it goin' ". They may have been in too much of a hurry the night before when the engine was damaged. That's right, the night before...run a vgt machine hard and then shut it off right away and the turbo will usually self-destruct from being hot and oil starved (once the engine's off, there's no oil pressure). Paranoid? You bet! Take just a little time to take it easy on the way back to the barn and let that turbo cool before you turn the key off. It's a lot cheaper.

I use Sil-Glyde Silicone Brake Lub. It's great from brakes and all rubber O rings.

Also when I installed the liners I would set them all down in the bores then with out a head gasket on I would lay the head on top of the liners and carefully snug the head bolts down in the same pattern as the recommended torque sequence not to the full torque but just enough to seat the liners .

Color coded orings never heard of them but i guess if you do alot of engine repair guess it helps good luck always find these interesting your braver than i am. Was working on 1 of town trucks when i worked there i was a little nervous about working on a few things the town hired a man that does this kind of work he told me just gotta be brave and get right too it lol

Instead of dish soap how about a thick dielectric type grease. Non-petroleum based. Seems like it would give you a little bit of stickiness to maybe help hold the oring in place without swelling the material.

I would check that the owner is using the right oil to work with the turbo and engine. Some turbos are really finicky about what oil is used, and a lot of farm shops use whatever oil is around. Also, the owner should not shut it down hot, it needs to idle for a bit to cool down the VGT vanes and the turbo cartridge after working hard for a lot of hours. If he can't wait around for that to happen, have him invest in a turbo timer. It's cheaper than an engine rebuild.

I also used dish soap on liner o-rings, I used it on the 92 series Detroits

Love your talking procedures

@19:30 Vegetable Oil will generally caused O-rings to swell-up.

Sharp out 99% of the time ,but most chrysler hydraulic units use a taper sided snap ring with sharp side in

I'm redoing a head gasket job on my truck and the reason I was told my gasket may have blown was that I reused my head bolts, I only got 20k or 30k out of it. They are TTY bolts also tho. My timing chain guide also broke which is something else, this is a late toyota 22r

Old Case heavy equipment mechanic I know always takes new pistons out of liners and reinstalls them himself.

Warren your awesome to watch!!!!, But I do have 2 questions for you, but realize that I'm a small engine and outboard mechanic. 1. Why not do compression checks on these engines to aid in diagnostics?? 2. I have been taught by old school mechanics that you should always use Red Loctite on rod bolts whether new or used, why not do that to make sure that they don't come out?? I don't mean to be an armchair mechanic on you, but I just wanted to ask these two questions. Aloha................

Looks like another case of run m hard put m away wet! Thanks for sharing bud keep on doing what you do greatly appreciated bud !👍

love your videos man,just discovered your channel.Got to put some liners in my mercedes soon,om 364.Will be getting new rod bolts for sure!

I see a lot of guys saying what they use on the o rings. Guys it’s simple, use lubricating soap. John Deere has it, don’t know what other manufacturers say to use.

I have seen reman engines fail because the wrist pin snap ring is installed backwards more than once.

Hey waren, first time leaving a comment, John Deere 308 lubricating soap # AR54749, made for cylinder liner packings, Thanks for the great videos, they are a great resource

How many hours on it Warren? I'm typing as I'm watching so apologies if you mention it.

That’s a very common problem with 7430 and 7530 the crown breaks off the piston and goes through the vgt I would recommend replacing all 6 piston and liners Make sure to remove all EGR pipes and air intake pipes after cooler and EGR valve if you can get it out there will be debris from the failure

It's a lawyer thing on the head bolts. Inexpensive way to cut own on liability.

Hey Warren l like your talking while work. I believe you great videos. If people don't like they go watch something else. Thanks for sharing.

You don’t talk too much….when you talk it’s something valid …unlike most people

Thank god my Chinese vgt turbo is low mounted. Lol. What a mess. Good job. Oven cleaner works amazing for freeing sticky vanes.

I enjoy your work a lot, Keep it up !!

can you give us an update on your Rental Tractor venture, What's going on with that, just fit it in if you can, i know your busy keeping your customers running but should would enjoy hearing about it, thanks for the content

Turbo imploded? Now I have a good idea as to what happened to our Deere at work this morning....

One good thing about the coronaviris is you find people on here that know their job and you can watch all there videos when you can't go to work yourself I have enjoyed them all especially the rants ha ha

You give out tons of information. If someone doesn’t orientate on the problem, through speech, how will they know what you are doing? And the rest is just fun, like the guy pulling you in the grader and not looking back, and you yelling to get his attention. That image is stored in mind lol.

Chinese guy LOL.Like we havent had enough of the chinese guy.I work in same field you do.Good luck,God bless.

Cat mechanic told me never use oil just use dawn dish soap. I was told you use it on all o-rings use dawn no matter where it goes.

Keep up the good work Warren.

I suppose the science behind using new headbolts is that they will retain their clamping force longer than old bolts.

Man will you stop being worried about the wingers.

Where lubing orings is necessary, I found that Sil-Glyde from Napa works wonders. Doesn't seem to cause any issues, and is slicker than goose shit

If you were stuck, claas have an uprated steel head gasket for the 6.8

great job once again i really enjoy your channel,just wondering how much the parts cost for this thing? im sure they could have bought a jd 4020 for what this repair cost and it would last 10,000 hrs at least before trouble! such a shame all this overengineered stuff costs people so much time and money

really Like the close shots.
