Perkins Diesel Engine Build Pt 4 Oil Pump and Seals

[@monstertrucker35]

I’m building an older Perkins out of a MF 255. It’s my first diesel build, and has a lot of similarities to this engine. I appreciate you loading up your build as it’s helped me tremendously.

[@bearsrodshop7067]

Quess I will have finish watching a part 5 to find out if like Mercedes, in that never reuse the old head bolts. Never been into a Perkins, so I will order a shop manual. Your series is shedding a lot of light on this rebuid, Thx, Bear in Tx.

[@benjass8552]

Your eye for precision and perfection is unmatched dude lol. Watching you rock your craft is fucken entertaining man.

[@spelunkerd]

I've always wanted to rebuild an engine, but so far it is just watching guys with bigger stones. Nice job, Brian.

[@wyattoneable]

Can't wait to see it running and Spanky driving it.

These Perkins diesel engines have a long heritage back to the days of the British Empire. They were designed and built to be sent all over the world to remote places with few resources. They can be serviced and maintained with minimal tools and training. You will never stop it from leaking oil but that's OK. Just keep wiping her down and filling her up. You will end up adding so much oil that you won't need as many oil changes. Don't try to use full synthetic oil, it will just leak out faster. The oil sludge and crud does a lot of the sealing of the engine.

So I cannot hold a candle to your mechanic skill, however 18 years of machine shop experience I feel compelled to offer some input on your measuring tool terminology. What you are using for measurements is a digital caliper, the analog version would be called a dial caliper, a micrometer is something completely different. Also .230" would be properly read "two hundred and thirty thousandths" In the machine shop world, however improper it may be a "tenth" is .0001" .1 would be stated "one hundred thousandths" Just thought I would share this, awesome video, and thanks for your effort.

[@briansmobile1]

You're welcome. Thanks for taking a couple minutes to invest in me Ben!

[@DaleESkywalker]

Now I'm more confused. .1 = one tenth .01 One hundredth .001 one thousandth .230 two hundred thirty thousandths of an inch -can also be referred to as twenty three hundredths, but is not necessarily proper... I'm not sure why .0001 is said to be one tenth. It's backward from what i learned in school...not that I'm a machinist by any measure.

[@jamesu]

.0001 is one ten thousandths of an inch shortened to a tenth for speech only.

[@torifan1976]

Allow to explain better. In a machine shop, provided you are using inch increments to begin with of course, the smallest unit of measure is a "thousandth" or .001. so you basically read 3 decimal place number as such. For example 5.390 "five inches, three hundred and ninety thousandths" 5.4" would be "five inches, four hundred..." etc. .0001 is read as a "tenth" because it is a tenth of the smallest increment .001, basically a tenth of a thousandth. So on occasion if you had a bore, for example the wrist pin fit on Brian's Perkins rebuild, the size tolerance, if it was given in inches would probably be plus or minus a few tenths, I am guessing, we don't do engine work in my shop, so if the given size was lets say 1.2500, and after machining the measurement reads 1.2502 this would be verbally stated "one inch, two hundred and fifty thousandths and two tenths" Put that in your pipe and smoke it..

Hey dude! That hat and those shades are a statement! Another wonderful detailed video. That old Perkins will be humming another 100 years. Probably get a second career in another machine.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video bro love this series

[@briansmobile1]

Thanks Antonio!

[@TheRebelOne.]

Loving this rebuild series. I have heard of "Teetering" but I have never heard of "Teeter Tottering". Its not an Irish term where I'm from. 🤔😁👍

[@briansmobile1]

Two "tots" (children) on each end of a plank with a fulcrum/bar in the center teetering back and forth we call a "teeter totter."

[@TheRebelOne.]

briansmobile1 It's a sad day you don't learn something. Thankyou for your reply.

[@FourthWayRanch]

Can you take off the oil pump from the bottom wit the engine installed?

[@jamesu]

Thanks Brian!

[@rawanjalloul4430]

How should I insert the driveshaft (of the pump)? Which side should be facing up? And should the timing marks be aligned even though they were off by 1 tooth when I disassembled it?

[@darylzero3139]

If that's what you call a clean rag I'd hate to see a dirty one LOL

[@briansmobile1]

"A clean rag leaves a cleaner surface than before. A dirty rag is one that can't clean no more." I'm in no hurry to fill the landfill.

[@davidgivetawayguy6920]

can you give me torque specs for a perkins 3024c motor? Installing a headgasket and i need a hero! Thank you so much!

[@bobgwinn5091]

lots of work. my father always showed me why those seals leak. i did not measure

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Nice rapture

[@hotord205]

great interesting video like always 👍👍👍

[@haydenc2742]

I'm surprised you didn't put some loktite on the oil bolt stuff, if it was loose on disassembly it might be vibrating loose... Coming along nicely!

[@briansmobile1]

Sitting on this side of the rebuild I can tell you this engine's been out before and it's been repaired on a time budget. Good parts, but put together fast.

[@RGSABloke]

Brian, dump the crescent wrench and get a set of Knipex pliers wrench . Joe

[@briansmobile1]

If you send them, I will use them in a video. briansmobile1 PO Box 282 Cedar Valley, UT 84013

[@RGSABloke]

briansmobile1 I am going to speak to Knipex. Regards. Joe

[@RGSABloke]

Hi Brian, i think someone from Knipex will be in touch with you soon. Meantime, have a look at this URL: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYuakIGmorqogaM This will give you an idea of the pliers wrench capabilities. I carry a pair in my work coveralls all the time. (86-05-180)

[@andrewklahold2880]

Is there any difference as to why your engine runs that oil pipe with the release valve on to the short side from the pump, I am working on a caterpillar 80 Perkins, and it runs that pipe to the long side and I got oil to rods mains and cam, no oil to a line on the out side of block to a bearing in the front of hydraulic pump, and no oil to the oil sensor, and no oil to the head, for valves, cat 80 forklift

[@briansmobile1]

Depends on the application/configuration the engines installed in I think. I'd have to look at it. Check your lines where they connect at the pump and check your rod bearing clearances. The oil pump is like a lift pump- rod bearings get the pressure up from there as I understand it.

[@andrewklahold2880]

@@briansmobile1 rod and mains are new cam bushings new sleeve and pistons, this was a remanded engine, with low remand hours, some used either or got gas mixed up with diesel, cause it blew three of the four pistons , broke rings ring land and cracked them, distorted the tops of the liners,

[@andrewklahold2880]

Hello I figured out why I wasn't getting oil to the valves and the oil pressure sensor, I had the oil filter base on the wrong side of the engine, the pipe on my oil pump goes to the short side and I. Your video yours went to the long side, I put my filter base on the opposite side of the engine as to the pipe from the pump, found out the it is imperative filter base has to go on the same side the block, as to the pipe from the pump, put the base on the same side the block as the pipe from pump and wala I got oil to the valves that is some thing that could be capitalized in a video, it is important that the filter base goes on the same side as the oil feed tube

The Raptor is pulling you over to the dark side.

[@briansmobile1]

Ha ha! I LOVE that truck!

[@jamesu]

It is an awesome vehicle. It even flies well but landings are the death of it!

[@ArchesMechanic]

Awe. I was so disappointed when the video ended
