I was about to go to sleep. I was getting prepared and guess what, this video came up. There is no way I am not watching it before going to bed. I think I might need a cup of coffee.

[@colin8532]

It's a long one, you'd best make a couple sandwiches too lol. Sit down, get comfy and enjoy. Sleep can come later

[@yonimerosoyola7840]

@@colin8532 You know what, it sounds like a plan to me. I just finished my coffee with a muffin but I could very well use a couple of sandwiches. I still have two more hours of video to go anyway. Did I mentioned that when I wrote my original comment it was 10 am for me, in my time zone. I guess one more cup of coffee to go with my sandwiches for my brain not to complain.

I appreciate Jesse's honesty when he admits his mistakes. I believe that is EXTREMELY helpful for the DIY community. How many people were screaming "Lap the valves... LAP THE VALVES...." And then Jesse comes in and says, "I was going to lap the valves... but..." * I just finished watching... apparently Jesse made a bigger mistake than just not lapping the valves. I'm glad the hand is doing better!!! Most importantly, he takes the necessary time to backtrack, and get it right. This should pay off in the long run. Just think of how many hours he's got on the Gehl, thanks to taking the time to do it right.

[@davidhimeback9087]

I'm really glad to hear, your hand an fingers are all there an good. We hard your hand hit that fan. I say it's good that was a plastic fan... Great build.. An yes it does make problems with 2 persons taking things apart.. Glad you fig it all out... You have a wide field of ability..

Thank God you didn't lose any digits! Great to see the little guy developing skill sets at such an early age as one day he too, will carry his grandmother's and dad's legacy to the masses!

[@tylerbarrett6652]

Hey Jesse, nice job. It was a real pleasure seeing you and your son working on his first engine build... just adorable. I think my Dad felt that the garage was his refuge... the place he went to get away from us kids. I was in my teens before I started learning anything... and by then, Dad and I but heads a good bit. We got through it. Thanks for sharing this project with us. It's always fun to watch you clear all the hurdles.

[@bobgrier3103]

You real have a good friend in Pat. Seems like he is always there for you on projects. Congrats to him on his weight loss. He’s looking good. Bet he feels better, too.

I know it was a pain in the ass to trouble shoot all the wiring but now that you've done it you will always be able to trouble shoot it with ease. You have become an expert on the wiring so to speak. Knowledge is always earned in some way. Great job. Love the channel.

Man I’ve been waiting for this video !!! I’m so excited!! What a treat! Love your work brother!! We need more people like you on this planet🙂

[@jamestsmith4500]

Jesse: It's always a good idea to label everything the best you can during disassembly. You never know how long it will take for parts to come in, and it may come a time during reassembly that you may not remember where everything goes. It's happened to all of us in the industry. Glad you have a wiring diagram and the ability to "troubleshoot problems". You are the man in my book..Certain areas are a one man job though. Learning how to bring home steak at the end of the week instead of peanut butter and bologna sandwiches, comes from experience. Keep on doing what you are doing...

[@donanything6816]

I for one was also "screaming "Lap the valves"", amongst other items such as lube the piston pin, rings, bearings. Just push the clips in with your finger. A dab of grease to hold the keepers, smack the socket with a hammer to get the keepers off of the old valves. Gapping rings, use a piston to push the rings down to the wear area. Clean the old gaskets off before reassembly. Most importantly prep and clean the deck then wipe with acetone or lacquer thinner to remove every trace of oil, wipe the head too. Loosen the adjusters before torqueing the rockers. Plus a few other minor items. I was glad to see the new parts going into the engine and I'm sure it will give years of service. Too bad the electrical issues had to happen. I'm glad your hand is OK! Please be careful, we want you to be around showing what hard work and determination can do. Thanks for another great video.

Really enjoyed this series of videos, looking forward to the next bought unseen purchase you get. If you ship that up to your other property, it will be worth buying a shipping container or even a semi box trailer to keep it out of the weather when its left sitting for long periods of time, it will stop the wildlife making home in it and making more wiring issues. Noah was funny as hell when he double checked the yellow snow comment. Keep up the good work Pat, its really starting to pay off.

Good job Jesse I am no mechanic by far but you are the best. It is so nice to see you incorporate your son into your repairs. Glad your hand is okay I jumped when your hand hit the fan blade. Glad you got that machine running almost like new. Every time I see that concrete table that you work on I think of your son the oldest one when he helped you build it. I wish I had that kind of interaction with my dad. Keep up the good work, I love when your videos come out. Even though when they're 2 hours long I watch every minute of it.

Who ever side you don't have to lap old valves because the head seats are new don't work with valves everyday. Their your basic backyard mechanic. It don't matter if it's an engine valve a control valve or a huge globe valve in a chemical plant. If your putting in new seats or disks they HAVE to be lapped together.............Period.

[@freetolook3727]

When I rebuilt VW engines, there was a whole science about installing new rings on pistons. There was end gap in the cylinder. Too much it would leak oil, not enough and it could scratch the cylinder wall. Rings had a bevel on one side and had to be installed in upright position so bevel was at bottom. Also, ring clearance had to be checked. Not enough clearance between ring and ring groove on piston and ring could bind and snap scratching cylinder. Too much and it could cause burning oil and lower compression. Oil ring grooves have to be cleaned, piston head cleaned before ring installation. A lot of work but worth it down the long run. But you already know all this!

[@jrf2112swbellnet]

The curve of the fan blade makes it look like it should be turned around. That is, if it's a push-through-the-radiator rotation. Just an observation. Nice video. And the commentary of the hand/fan situation is appreciated.

[@sydneymcconnaughhay5947]

What a fantastic video,,,I'm so impressed with Pat and I'm so happy your hand is ok..

[@AW-Services]

Another brilliant video, Jesse. Great point with regards to lapping values. Anytime I've transferred values from an old head to a brand new one, it's key to lap them as the new head and it's manufacturing tolerances will be different to worn & used valves. It's great to see Paddy helping out. He cleaned that sump to perfection. I do love his witty one-liners. I can't help but notice how Noah has grown up since a few videos ago. His speech has developed more. Stay away from yellow snow. Thanks for the video and making a wet British evening more fun. Austin

Here's a tip you might be interested in: When anybody (you, Pat, Your Dad, etc.) takes ANYTHING apart, take PLENTY of pictures BEFORE and AFTER, then make the pics available to everybody who might reassemble. If you think you've got enough pics, you DON'T!! Take more, from many angles. It's saved my butt a few times. Cheers, man. Can I get Pat some suspenders? It looks like he'll need them if he keeps up the weight loss. Good on him!! Also, your little guy is going to be the next American Guy Martin!! He has that spirit. Keep encouraging him.

Phew! I'm glad your hand is ok! Probably not as glad as you are, though! "Dad, we're eating snow." Immediate reply: "Don't eat the yellow snow." Haha. Genius father advice. Impressive how well that thing runs immediately after a rebuild, quiet and not smoking. $11k for that is awesome. Of course, there's a lot of your labor in there too. But I would think you could sell it for at least $15k no problem, probably more.

[@jmuller86]

yea actually I saw one of these going for 25k on marketplace. but I rarely ever sell anything. too much hassle. and yea I was really surprised there wasn't more smoke when we first started it up. Even my Gehl had a lot more smoke for a while, and that thing has been really good
