Rebuilding and engine is so much fun...w/a friend helping. Friend and I have done two engines to together (1 auto, 1 marine) and we had a blast. The first one we didn't have the engine in the correct "top dead center" position. We followed the Chilton's book exactly and discovered "top dead center" location listed in the book was WRONG. Oh well, bought new valve train components, rebuilt the head again, and it started on the first try. Still a great time together. I learned a ton from that experience. Good for young man. An experience you will lessons from over and over again in the future. Well done man!!

You talked about opportunity cost for the week of the rebuild. For your lifestyle, the rebuild makes the most sense. People often don't think enough about the value of the lessons learned in the process of doing yourself. To me, the confidence gain, the lessons that can be applied later, the understanding of the intricacies of the engine that may come in handy down the road (or out at sea) are invaluable. Well done, and kudos to your friends who lent a hand.

You're not supposed to use any type of silicone on a head gasket, specially a diesel. The diesel fuel will eventually deteriorate the silicone. I'm surprised that wasn't in the instructions for head installation. I must say you've been very creative with your thinking outside the box with the engine rebuild 👍 .
@jeremykamel9655 4 жыл бұрын
It’s the compression pressures that a diesel engine runs at. Its also the oil and the antifreeze. Head gaskets are put on dry or don’t bother doing it. Honestly you don’t usually need silicone on any gasket if it’s all done right.

This is actually very very bad for the engine. It will not run long at all more than likely. It will need another rebuild (if even rebuildable after the kind of failure that is going to happen) correctly this time soon. The liquid gasket will deteriorate and clog your oil intake. I'll let you guess what happens next. Not only that your head gasket will fail in no time. The only thing you put on a head gasket is copper spray stuff made for tiny tiny imperfections. And really no one ever uses that.

Incredible job. New to your channel - my father mentioned a guy rebuilding his Yanmar in the cockpit of his cat and I needed to see it! It would have taken me four times as long and I would have wound up buying every specialty tool they had available. Also, don't worry about the nut/bolt thing...I do that too. I'm guessing Sierra put in those captions...whenever my wife is in the garage she corrects me every time. I used to work at a sailing club in my teens and we had a lot of problems with the yanmar in our launch at one point. One thing the guys said was that diesel engines really need to get hot to burn off all the soot and sludge, so if you're only doing short trips where the engine doesn't get up to temperature it will probably accumulate crud and eventually cause problems. Kind of unavoidable with a sailboat (or launch) but...fyi. Again, great job. Really impressive work.

I wast amazed and afraid as I watched you tackling this rebuild, especially as it was clear that you didn’t know the names of the various engine parts (and therefore left me with the impression that you might also not know exactly how and why each part worked). When I saw you, seemingly so casually, fitting the cam and crankshaft gears I had my heart in my mouth, wondering if you’d lined up the timing marks. I had to search out part 3 to see how it ended for you; I would have been heartbroken if your courage and best efforts did not work out. But you did it!! Well done that man!!! I’ve just refurbished a 2QM20 and it took me a damn sight longer than 8 days. Well done you!!!👍
