Was a pleasure to be able to give a tour of my shop and be able to work on Steve’s motor home! Thanks everyone

[@mwhitelaw8569]

What a spot dude I remember your old shop My how things change

[@outinthebackyard7579]

Beautiful shop!! Keep up the good work

[@jbjdieselperformancerepair1981]

Heck yeah man! Things have def changed! Doesn’t feel like that long ago either

[@jennajones2155]

Thank you for keeping the trucks on the road! Us drivers appreciate it!

[@jbjdieselperformancerepair1981]

Absolutely! You guys/gals are what move America 🤘🏻

[@jennajones2155]

Thank you to all the diesel techs. We drivers appreciate you keeping us on the road! Thank you Steve for another awesome video. Safe travels!

[@rodneygreen3388]

Detroit 2 strokes were direct injected. Many others makes ( Cat included) started going direct in the 1960-70s. Before that most of them were prechamber injection. So a prechamber is a pocket inside the head or in cats case a screw in chamber (in the head). Fuel was injected into that chamber to start the combustion. Then it went through a port/hole into the cylinder. There was lots of waisted heat because it was absorbed into the head and therefore dumped into the cooling system.

[@cumbob]

Ford and VW used indirect injection too until the 80s and 90s in automotive. Low power but quieter apparently.

[@timothydurm4366]

GM 6.2/6.5 were indirect injected in civilian trucks until 2000. Military used the 6.5 until almost 2010.

[@TboneShakeAlone]

Been in the maintenance/mechanic field my whole life. These types of owners/bosses are the best. Ones that actually worked their way up. Seems like somebody that I’d have no problem being in charge.

[@thomasczyz1279]

Gotta love a business with a clean shop = quality….first place I took my motor when I was a kid was a mess had to kid nap my motor took it to machine shop #2 you could eat off the floor and any of their machines they did a great job! 😎🇺🇸

[@johndoran3274]

Solid tour of Jake’s shop. Watching Steve’s face when he sees new toys is priceless! Thanks for sharing!

[@stevejones6647]

That shop is incredible. So clean and organized. Also very cool that the owner actually puts money into tools to make his tech’s lives easier. The shop I work in is 100% the opposite and it has taken its toll on me

[@jamesplotkin4674]

That shop and the work stations are immaculate!

[@1320pass]

My 6-71 Detroit doesn't come alive until around 3000 rpm.. But the old 2 stroke doesn't have the beans like a big ol CAT. 3406E and C-15 is still the best big truck diesel around after all these years. Legendary.

[@HEADDYNAMICS]

I used to work on Cat 3600 engines. Each cylinder had its own cam with different lettered dowel holes. Depending on what cylinder it was you had to install the dowel in that specific letter into the journal. The pistons where the size of a 5 gallon pail. The 3612 had two turbos, each turbo was 65,000.00 dollars over 20 years ago. Hard to tell what they sell for now.

[@tdgritter]

Work on the 3500s, same shop as the 3600s and c175. Crazy big, insanely expensive. Lots of fun.

[@nicothebassdude]

I live near where those are made... not uncommon to see them rolling past my house on rail flatbeds. Massive beasts!

[@cedrickparish7985]

I worked on them also. I really missed them days.

[@jaygullion8013]

Are they locomotive engines or go in ships or what? A 5 gallon bucket sized piston is insane to even imagine! Ive never seen anything like that! I've seen Detroit and dt466(international) having sleeves put in and they are big but not THAT BIG! What do they go in for something like you guys use to work on???

[@HEADDYNAMICS]

@@jaygullion8013 Most of the ones I worked on powered generators. Some were on pumping stations.

[@Edward135i]

I love Steve's shop tours of other peoples shops. the Fuel Tech/Proline video is a great one as well, a tour of Dart would be a awesome video if you could make that happen one day.

[@ldtenenoff]

Yea

[@dukenukem7183]

The best part of the proline tour was how shocked Steve was that they don't actually do their own machine work

[@TheRubtastic]

Love the awareness of Steve's accent. "Wader" 😂

[@ashore1975]

7.3 and 6.9L Ford/International were indirect diesel injection. The 7.3L later became direct injection.

[@gimmethecarkeys]

Cant believe your at this shop. I met this guy about 4 years ago! We had a huge Mazda meet and dyno day at his shop. He is a standup guy! Beautiful shop and yes... freaking spotless. He treated everyone amazing. He is a car guy not just a diesel guy. Even us import guys all felt welcome! I remember we even asked him what the dyno record was, he said it was his personal chevelle 😆. Said it made 1600whp at that time. Super cool guy! Not surprised his business has grown. 💪💪💪

[@bertmorlas3534]

That removability piston skirt is super genius! Less weight because it's aluminum and it's easier to replace and probably cheaper. Diesel designer really out here making everything that wears easily replaceable.

[@redmesa2975]

I was a transit bus mechanic for 15 years. We had a set of Rotary lifts. I hated them ! They would get out of sync & it’s was scary when the bus would tip. We had a couple of parallelogram platform lifts. I prefer them, but they take up bay space being permanently mounted. Love that shop ! Clean,That’s my style ! Been told all my life a sparkling clean shop is a fairly tale . Makes my day to see one actually exists 12:50 my son & I have that exact torque wrench.

[@RyTrapp0]

The multi-piece piston design is so that they can have a steel piston crown for durability with an aluminum skirt to reduce weight(since the skirts are so gigantic) - really cool stuff! I believe Mahle, or one of the major OEM suppliers/aftermarket manufacturers, introduced this piston design for light duty(pickup) diesels too some years back. Great tour! I honestly wonder how you even get started working on diesels with the price of these tools, crazy! Guess that's why you sell your soul to the Snap-Off man LOL

[@ourtexasfamilyvideos62]

If I owned a diesel, I'd want this guy to work on it.

[@RyTrapp0]

You can tell they do good work when they can afford all Snap-Off tools LOL

[@kwasg3]

Or at least you can tell they have huge huge profit margins to spread around.@@RyTrapp0

[@greatalaska6429]

The old school drive engines for big generators on oil platforms were a sight to behold. The engine block had scaffolding off the sides so you could work on the valves and the pistons were bigger than 5 gallon buckets. The block itself was probably 15 foot long. Cool seeing you check out some diesel stuff.

[@jeffbell8868]

It's one of the best videos yet. I think I seen smoke come out of Steve's ears trying to wrap his head around the diesel world. Awesome.

[@jasonH5997]

We use those multipliers in the gas industry too, our are hydraulic tough. 2160 ft/lbs is the norm for 20/24 inch....crazy

[@--_DJ_--]

I wonder how many "grunts" that would be.

[@samsonian]

Yeah, and they are SPENDY! 20/24 sure is a fancy way of saying 5/6…but that’s just industry standards. Funny tho.

[@tabbott429]

Much RESPECT for such an accomplished entrepreneur. Amazing progress in 10 years. Thanks for sharing Steve!!

[@--_DJ_--]

Some older diesels were IDI (indirect injection) There was a small pocket (pre-combustion chamber) where the fuel was injected sort of off to the side of the main combustion chamber. Fuel and air would mix there and the flame front would expand into the main chamber. That was done to quiet them down more than anything. It's wild what they can do with the new stuff. Pilot injection with around 7 (maybe more it's been a while since I was in trade school) injection events per power stroke.

[@RWPG]

Idi 7.3 for example

[@--_DJ_--]

@@RWPG My old 6.5 came to mind for me. What a dog that thing was. It was in a 3/4 ton chev that I got for free so I didn't complain too loudly. It was fun to drive with the 5 speed with a bull low 1st gear.

[@ko9446]

@@--_DJ_--I worked for a State, we had the largest 6.2/6.5 fleet around. I always said I would use a 6.2 for a boat anchor but I suspect it would fail as that too.

[@--_DJ_--]

@@ko9446 I'm glad we only ever had 2 in the fleet. One got filled with gas by a student and never really did run properly afterwards, and was so rotten it wasn't worth trying to fix. The other one, the one I got for free, was full of all kinds of new parts but had at least 550k kms on it. The hydro-boost went and that is where they drew the line for some odd reason. I asked what they were doing with it because I wasn't in town when it came off the road. The owner asked if I wanted it and he signed it over. I put a used booster on it for like 50 bucks and a 30 dollar set of brake pads. For sure didn't overlook anything when I did the safety... Drove it till you couldn't see out of the window from all the exhaust coming out of the broken driver's side manifold. It still ran and drove when I sold it to a guy who for some unknown reason, wanted the drivetrain for a jeep willys. It had sat for 2 years without moving or starting once, he brought batteries and she fired right up to all of our surprise. I would have lost money on that bet.

[@TheodoreRoosevelt3]

There's old diesel engines that aren't direct injection like the international 6.9 idi or 7.3 idi (indirect injection). There's a pre chamber that the fuel goes into. Pretty neat to look at!

[@vehdynam]

Now that was interesting , and what a shop; absolutely spotless . Most diesel shops are nowhere near that clean. Many thanks Steve.

[@ls1jeeper]

Cool story on that guy he obviously worked his ass off to get where he's at Someone needs to invite you to look at some Cat 3600 teardown/engine parts, you'd really be amazed with big parts. Cylinder heads are cool, some run on natural gas. They're only in generators/industrial type stuff and boats.

[@jutny]

As to the "direct injected." When I was young my dad and I restored a Minneapolis Moline diesel tractor . The injectors were on the side of the head, they fired across the chamber into a power valve or something cone shaped that was supposed to distribute the fuel pulse evenly as it sprayed back through the forming combustion chamber. They did not run great, ours never did at least even after doing things as right as we could. So yes fuel direct injected into the cylinder, but the "chamber" was the thing opposed, still kinda direct though.. It did not have pistons shaped like most diesels.

[@JensonMadsen]

I live in Caldwell!!! Too bad I didn’t know you were in town or I would have been looking for you non stop! No better engine builder than you Steve. Big inspiration

[@scottsigmon926]

I actually was given a cam that size out of a CTA bus (Chicago transit authority) from one of my buddies who’s a mechanic there one of the lobs was completely gone that’s why it was replaced now it sits mounted on my garage wall.

[@aaronmcpeak]

So cool to see you come to my hometown

[@jacobstrutner8232]

Very very cool to see people like Steve Morris geek out on diesel as a diesel tech my self. The only indirect injection stuff I know of is the old pickups. 7.3 idi, and those dinosaur engines. Bigger diesels seemed to always be direct very early on

[@vettewelder]

Forever Diesel has been direct injection. What changed in the early 2000's was electronic injectors, getting away from mechanical injection pumps that had to be timed with the engine.

[@TheFlatlander440]

Great tour of Jake's diesel shop. He even looks the part like a diesel mechanic, built to last. Love to get one of his hoodies. Thanks for sharing Steve. Cheers!

[@ryandunn5362]

This is awesome! I live in Nampa, next door to Caldwell... and used to work on Cats with my dad!

[@speedandmarine9066]

Those CATs (that appears to be a single turbo C-15 or C15) are plenty happy up to about 2350 full load, more than that and you'll have valve spring issues. There are LOTS of indirect injected diesel, including CAT. The early 3406's, which is the predecessor to the engine you were looking at in the video were pre chamber engines. That's mostly where the nickname Clatterpillar came from, the direct injected engines were much quieter at idle. Cat was probably the last to have pre chamber truck and equipment engines in production, at least in North America.

[@theoldbigmoose]

How does he keep his shop so clean? Incredible!

[@bobroberts2371]

I believe the reason for moving skirts on the pistons is to reduce clatter noise. Diesels used to spark knock very loudly from the skirt hitting the cylinder walls.

If you want a really crazy diesel, look for the International TD-6' / TD-9 / UD-6 / UD-9 . These had an engine that started on gasoline then switched over to diesel. This was done by having a 2nd intake valve that opened into a 2nd chamber lowering compression , bringing in air / gasoline from a carb and a spark plug.

All IH diesel farm tractors had those engines for decades.

There was indirect injection for diesels, but it was injecting into a pre-ignition pot and from there into the cylinder. I am not sure of the terminology. On diesel Land Rovers my friend called the hot spots... if I remember right from when he was rebuilding his diesel 88 40 years ago. But that's still injecting into the pressurized space.

[@stevelacker358]

There are still small prechamber diesels being built for small tractors, little generators, and so on. Usually not turbocharged. The last commonplace automotive prechamber engines I can think of would the pre-powerstroke Ford (Navistar) IDI V8, and maybe the old GM 6.2.
