34 Sailboat Diesel Engine Repair and Rebuild PT1

[@charles.neuman18]

cool episode! I loved seeing an engine rebuild.

[@nigelw598]

Gday Bryan, Great explanation of a four stroke and great commentary with lots of handy additional info that takes a long time to learn. I remember I was needing to rebuild two Rochesters off a couple of 454’s in our go fast boat. The local carburettor guy wanted $900 to rebuild them. I bought a couple of kits from the parts store for $40 each and searched and found a guy on KZbin rebuilding one on his kitchen table. There’s nothing you can’t do if you set your mind to it. With real decent people such as yourself willing to take the time to make and post great videos. The sky is the limit. Great vids Bryan, keep it up. I hope life is treating you well mate, Cheers 👍👍🍻

[@cesine0]

Absolutely the best video I've found for how the yanmar engine works, thank you so much for making this video!

[@KandMe1]

I'm watching this wishing I had a diesel to work on You make me wanna get one.

[@CaryJohnson-d8y]

I really enjoyed this video with your explanations. Thank you.

[@laurapitre5797]

No lock tite on rod bolts and no an extension doesn't affect torque readings. Good video!

[@jansmit4628]

Nice explanation on the diesel engine. One more important thing to keep the torcwrench in good condition is setting the spring tension to its lowest value.

[@kevinmartin3859]

Hi Bryan Kevin from Thailand just binged watched your videos loved them especially your CNC cut out of the bulk head enjoyed.this video of the engine rebuild very descriptive the boat is looking great to when you first well done for sticking at it good luck

[@marc4322]

Wow Bryan ,realy good video on diesel engine.

[@paul12354]

I love your channel Bryan. I can be an "armchair" boat restorer! Your knowledge, skill and passion are always evident. This is the first time I've ever commented on a KZbin channel as I want to see more! I've just binge watched all of your videos. I can't wait for the next episode. Thank you!

[@puretruth6379]

Best explanation of how engines work, even for me!

[@GBRmedic]

Dude! OMFG, Thanks for making this video... I kinda dont sub to too many more sailing channels anymore. Im making an exception here. Very well explained tutorial on how diesels work/go back together. This was exactly the video Ive been waiting to find for years.

[@joe-3157]

Been a diesel mechanic/technician for past 30 years. Good video, keep it simple but informative. Good luck with her, she looks like she will last you a long time.

[@BryanSailing]

Thanks 👍 I'm just a hack, but hopefully it helps others.

[@stevesteel6066]

Awesome video. I’m a marine electrical engineer, not a diesel mechanic. Simple, clear explanation. Good luck with your build Brian. You are inspiring more people than would probably admit it!

[@timtrinkaus7072]

Keep up the great work Bryan!! Can’t wait to see these engines run again!

[@BryanSailing]

Thanks

what the heck dude, come on, progress to the dream.. some of us really need to see you suceed!!!! and by the way, i suppose your wife will be with you on this upcoming sailing journey, commit her to the channel

[@neaptidevlog3732]

Brian my man, you have inspired me to keep plugging along with my diesel rebuild for my old cabin cruiser bro. Cheers I really love your channel dude it's so inspiring!!!

[@phrdcstl]

As always, inspiration 👍💥

[@Bri-wi8kq]

Oh Bryan, you kill me! Thank you and keep em coming. Bri

[@vg4413]

I went through the entire engine rebuild on the Wildlings Sailing channel, but your explanations are the best.

[@BryanSailing]

Glad you liked them. I watch Wildings sometimes too, it's a fun channel makes me wish I was young again.

[@cameronurquhart1515]

Bryan, I just love watching your videos. Plain talk, no bullshit & really informative. I'm sure the engine will start 1st time.

[@williamlewis8741]

Bonjour Bryan. it's raining cats and diesel pistons here in the forest of southwestern France. How i wish i could be at your side handing your parts as you install them in SHORTS. i miss the heat of the United States. it's April and i've got a fire going in order to warm of the house. What a great vidéo. i've rebuild engines before and it's pain stakingly difficult at time and quite satisfying when finished. i'm sure the engine will start up. the method of check and double check is brilliant. you're an inspiration for not giving up, and soldiering through a task. all the best

[@pauleohl]

You seem to enjoy the journey (repair and rebuild) as much as, if not more than the destination (sailing). And that is fortunate.

[@nickearl9900]

Such a helpful and entertaining video. Thank you so much. Please keep them coming.

[@BryanSailing]

Thanks, I'm going though some personal problems, so I haven't posted in a while, but new videos will be coming soon.

Thanks Brian good video!

[@SuSpi70]

Nice lesson on diesel engines! Cheers from 🇵🇹!

[@sebastianhugely7035]

The solenoid is a pre engagement unit it’s stops the starter knocking the teeth off the flywheel. (It the teeth aren’t fully engaged it won’t turn a better way to check a faulty pre engage unit get someone to turn the ignition and give the solenoid a tap. The flywheel balances the engine to reduce vibration. You may notice two holes in the flywheel they’ve drilled holes removing material for this purpose. The firing order is usual 1432 so one cylinder is always driving the crank. Brian’s right it also stores kinetic energy. Great video again 👍

[@pauleohl]

How could you have missed that Bryan has a 3 cylinder engine?

[@sebastianhugely7035]

@@pauleohl I couldn’t be bothered to finish the point 4 cylinder have many advantages in respect of vibration whilst the subject of the flywheel was on the table.

[@common-sense-is-dead]

I like how you charge head first and aren't afraid to take on any project. I don't know how you can work on such a messy and disorganized work bench.

[@What_If_We_Tried]

His messy workbench drives me crazy as well, however, some people seem to thrive in seemingly disorganized conditions, and somehow, I strangely envy them at times.

[@sprendergast351]

Hi Bryan, to make your job easier for fitting rings, just hold the con rod in a vise with the piston sitting square on the flat top of the vise. Less chance of breaking a ring. Quicker too when doing a v8 Great to see you again, Steve.

[@BryanSailing]

Great tip!

[@mikewilliams4947]

Hey brother. It’s been a while. Hope you and yours are well.

[@michaelsenior7858]

I just watched a video of Ferrari engine car factory in maranello and switched to your workshop and engine rebuild I swear after 10 mins my OCD medication supply ran out and unfortunately I keeled over and passed out ......🤯

[@johndrew4957]

i have white t-shirts just like yours lol

[@heinrichgrebenstein791]

Hi Bryan, missing your videos, hope you keeping well.

[@UUBrahman]

Good

[@bobconaway]

Wow. And I always thought it was the pistons going up and down that turned the crankshaft. Huh. ;))

[@bobconaway]

Have to admit, though - you do good work!

[@BryanSailing]

Very true, except for when the engine is starting and the starter motor is turning the crankshaft. Not to worry it’s just me contributing to the wealth of misinformation on the internet.

[@tonyprofera9914]

Way to go

[@julielouisiana7855]

When you install your piston rings you should always gap them

[@watsonthumb4997]

what made you decide to use that style of hone vs the ball or "dingleberry" hone? I have done a couple quickie rebuilds on car engines and thats what I have always used, what is the difference or extra benefit to the hone you used? ps that engine really dosent look like it was underwater, the cylinders look fine not rusty or anything. is that the engine from the good hull that wasnt submerged?

[@douglasrobbie9998]

So is the starter motor damaged beyond repair? It would seem salt water would damage it more than the rest of the engine. Interesting the difference in honing method - the honing tool using ceramic balls have you powering the drill before inserting tool into cylinder. The injectors if clogged- one of the most interesting YT videos I've seen is mechanic using a rubber tire stem with Schrader valve removed, the plastic stem cap with hole drilled into top and can of carb cleaner with small red straw slightly melted into the plastic cap's hole. Put together with rubber tire stem fitted over the input side of a clogged injector and 12v applied to injector electric terminals- the carb cleaner cleared the partially clogged injector in 5 secs.

[@larrypinter3321]

Nice to watch , and I did enjoy it. But as the engine was pretty new, and hadn't sustained mechanical damage, was it really necessary to hone and put in new rings etc?

[@XXLaffinGravyXX]

Think it needs to be fibre glassed and the pan needs to be epoxied in just to make it an authentic Bryan vid ...🙃😉😁

[@firstdaywithnewbrain2504]

I just watched this entire episode. See I told you that I could watch you build a peanut butter jelly sandwich. 🤣

[@BryanSailing]

I still remember that comment too. But the engine isn't as tasty

[@conormegan2824]

Nice one Brian .I gather the engines weren't running when flooded???? Keep on the great work

[@BryanSailing]

No they were both underwater and it was several months before they were taken apart

[@pauleohl]

@@BryanSailing Months underwater and very little corrosion. I am surprised.

[@eddystekelenburg1266]

the "solonoid"of the startermotor is actually called bendix, it pushes out the starter gear and than connects the 12 volt battery to the startermotor. so to jump start it you connect the 12 volt connection to the smaller bendix connection (from the key) with your screwdriver.

[@BryanSailing]

Great correction. I'll try to point that out in part two.

[@sebastianhugely7035]

The bendix style starter hasn’t been used on engines for many years. They used inertia to engage with the flywheel damaging the teeth. It’s often referred to as but it’s not a bendix

[@JohnJohn-cu7nk]

👍

[@LuckyBuff4949]

From my OJT oil will poslish the cylinder and reduce resistance or pressure sepage. And a solvent like WD40 will remove the gloss for better compdression and less sepage. JMO

why did you replace the piston?

"scored"

When I was in high school I worked in a lawn mower shop, The rest was just stuff I picked up working on my boats and cars.

[@alanmcn17]

@@BryanSailing Great content!!

[@mr.e7022]

Looks like that starter is toast. Was the fuel injection pump saved from the salt water because it was full of diesel fuel?

[@BryanSailing]

yes Injection pump was fine because the fuel system is sealed.

[@edstenson7764]

Any new videos coming out soon?.

[@toddfortune3480]

Lock tite step I never bothered with because of the torque settings established by manufacture.

[@BryanSailing]

Yes it's not really needed, I'm just paranoid

[@R.E.HILL_]

Using assembly lube on piston and rings... not a good idea... Engine oil only. That gives the rings the best seating outcome..

[@kenbaustin4533]

Could be kinda dangerous and expensive for a complete newbie to attempt a rebuild without ever working along side someone more experienced but it can be done! Just a bunch of parts ...right!
