Clark Forklift For Scrap? Why? +Boating and 6v53 Engine - NNKH

The owner of this forklift couldn't get it running after it sat for a few years so he bought a new unit. He offered it to a scrapper friend of mine who said if I can get it running and sell it, he'd give me the 6v53 engine from The Chevy C70.

[@chugaaa]

Man I love this channel simple, honest, real, very entertaining; what else can you ask for? Keep them coming

[@jayholewinski]

Dude you are the MAN. When I buy a 1970 Monte Carlo I want you to build me a motor. I will pay you. Youre the man I am always amazed at how much you know.

[@markduncan6690]

You Are “A Workhorse” Chris! I am envious!

[@Michael-to7oz]

I'm sure you have heard of a 8-71 or 6-71 blower. Those originally came off Detroit diesel 8v71's and so on. The hot rodders of the past modified them to fit on V8 gas engines. Also the architecture of the two stroke Detroit diesels is that they can't draw in an air charge without some sort of forced induction. That's why Detroit labeled their engines that only had blowers as natural aspirated and an engine with a turbo and blower as forced induction. Detroit diesel engines also share the same architecture as EMD locomotive engines that are also two stroke, EMD was once part of GM.

[@HorsepoweredRims]

U started an engine on an engine hoist.....a diesel none the less......love it

[@thebeek123]

The possibilities are endless with what you could put that motor in.

[@williamtrusler1508]

I really enjoyed the entire video. Fork lift, Detroit Diesel, a great boat ride with friends and Gus! That’s a complete presentation! Thanks.

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate you checking up out the video!

[@richardthomas1743]

I love the sound of Detroit Diesel Engines! I look forward to the day you find something to install that engine into. The John Deere tractors are a beast but that was a little "okay a lot" too much for it! Always nice to see you and Jen and Gus too. Thank you Chris!

[@PoleBarnGarage]

Gus, the most worldly Weiner on the planet.

[@jennifersugint]

And got to ride in some seriously cool cars!

[@ghettsumm7949]

The engine hoist is rated for two tons, but the wheels on the hoist apparently are not,.... 😄🤣😄 Fun video bro..

[@larrycroft470]

I had to laugh when you said you did not know anything about forklifts...you are a mechanical genius dude. If the damn thing was built to move if at ALL possible...you will make it move!! Your dog is handsome also. I guess he is a dachshund ???

[@markduncan6690]

You are relentless Chris! I say that to your credit!

[@duncanmacrae6384]

6V53 sounds good. If you can hepl it, try not to the emergency shut down, especially at rpm. It can suck the seals out of the supercharger. Then she is an oil user and possibly wants to run on her own oil. Big difference between a stuck rack and running away on oil! Loved the video.

[@sxurry]

Man, as a forklift field tech, this was immensely entertaining. Cuz when I get sent out to work on some old random junk like this, I'm just as confused!

[@joetrippi1603]

Nothing like working on a non running forklift at night using a headlamp

[@rhyswoodman6781]

Chris I just can't get enough of your videos mate. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 🦘

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Can't thank you enough for checking them out! Cheers from Pennsylvania 🇺🇸

[@bassman1519]

Best channel on KZbin

[@jethfit2517]

Hey chris nice to be back, still waiting on the collab vids with andrew camarata. Keep it up

[@quicksilver8180]

Just keep doing what you're doing,, i enjoy your uploads and your style .what your doing works and stats seem to back that up pretty well! Keep it up

[@VroomMM61]

Finally! Where have you been?!!😊Nice footage by the way!!! As usual!!! God bless you!!!

[@tihspidtherekciltilc5469]

The front view of the DD running is so cool looking. I'd definitely swap that in something with the top sticking out of the engine bay like an Australian blower at a burnout contest. My 69 F-250 with a greasy looking beast like that would be my dream truck.

[@KKE1978]

My gawdness i have been binge watching all you video since Friday and let me say I enjoy every single one of them. Better than watching a movie for me.

[@TheRealDToTsO]

I hear that motley at the river!! love it ! Thanks for the fun info and content !! Happy to see more of this kinda stuff, sad cause kids these days don't wanna learn & don't want try to fix! Happy to see anyone take apart & fix. Learn by living !! & NEVER stop learning !!

[@anthonypeck3588]

By far one of my favorite channels to watch...thanks for pumping out another video...love your channel!

[@williamward7707]

Dude, you are one hard worker!!! Great videos

[@calvinlevie943]

Keep them coming ,very talented you are

[@051biohaz]

Love the videos man, thanks for the uploads…love watching the problem solving

[@kennethewertz9313]

I love your adventures into the unknown, and how you figure things out as you go. I love your videos. Keep doing what you do.

[@nicholasfisher2595]

Awesome video as always man!!🤘🤘

[@robertburke3102]

Finally a episode. Glad your back

[@rippatoe50]

Great video again. I love Chris’s ambition and desire to simply mess with things.

[@ezrhino1803]

Glad you're back. Been missing the vids. Cheers from Giddings, Texas.

[@gsftom]

Some of the best content on KZbin imo 😀

[@TheMindOfMoody]

Love the videos man! Can't wait to see that 6v53 torn apart and built!

[@isaacelijah8894]

Can't get enough of your content Chris. I check everyday to see if you've uploaded anything, and I download as soon as something pops up hahaha. I wish you had a whole production crew following you around to keep content uploaded regularly. Learning so much from you too! Sending love to you, Gus and the Mrs from Papua New Guinea 🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬❤️😄

[@KPaul7]

Sweet I'm glad you got that oil diesel. I thought you said you were hoping to.

[@donaldhalls2189]

Excellent score mate now, just something to put it in, all the best to you and your loved ones

[@dav1dsm1th]

That Detroit would probably make an interesting engine for a boat. Just an idea. Stu (and his Detroit engine guru) over at Dangar Marine could probably give you some pointers. Stay safe out there.

[@randymagnum6680]

yeah Stu would dig that motor for sure

[@bradykatt]

You’re doing great man, keep it up.

[@markduncan6690]

Always a fun time , and very interesting!

[@davidupton4730]

From an Englishman’s perspective, this channel is doing much for the good reputation of America and Americans themselves.

[@kennethsonier1766]

You always seem to find a solution, you pick through the problems and get whatever you're working on running once again. That Detroit sounds really nice, it really will be interesting to see what you put it in. Thanks for another great video and enjoy your time off on the water 👍☮️🇺🇲

[@Magnet.M.A.D]

Great video Chris. Well done on this one buddy. Love to the family ❤

[@iceman9549]

Man that engine has torque!! 👍👍

[@coryshaw4853]

Im glad you give alot of these projects second chances. I hate seeing anything goto waste that someone can still use.

[@dgb56bgd]

Mr. OPTIMISM. LOOKS LIKE BRAND NEW. Blessings man! I love your show.

[@moofdoggmike]

awesome as usual Chris... keep up the great vids and look forward to the vid on the GranTorino! Have a good one.

[@1REspawnPLS]

Oh man what a treat! Torino trip looks like it’s been a blast but glad to have a video

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah the Torino trip was definitely a good time! Back to work now!

[@489special9]

That's quite a beast! Something handy for moving your engine lift is laying down a 4x8 sheet of body metal, rolls a lot easier!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Good idea!

[@frankm8533]

Love the vids man been watching a couple months catching up. Ready for some Torino footage. Ur a intelligent guy

[@imonlyhalfnutsreally2113]

Awesome startup

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Chris on getting the DD engine as payment. it is a Beast. lv the story and ur pup.

[@josephcormier5974]

Excellent video great content thank you for sharing this with us four stars

[@danielwolff1981]

the sound on last engine 😍

[@johnelliott7375]

Awesome puppies, Gus is the bomb, I bet he is the life of the party with his brother around.

[@jayfromtexas6718]

Great video bud!

[@staceymay2655]

Midnight in Philly!!! You gettn jacked., Stay safe Chris, Lovya channel......

[@juanguzman1824]

Great video!!

[@jamesbond-iu4ig]

Im a retired auto mechanic love watching your vids I would like learning more about how diesels work and run and trouble shoot them. Have I worked on diesels yes but I dont fully understand them

[@jesusvillaortega4492]

Chris, I really like your videos, you have a lot of talent and skill, greetings to the whole family from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico....

[@davedaniwikierla9281]

I really enjoy your videos

[@jefferybye2169]

Whats happening Chris, long time know hear..great to see another vid..made my night dude..thanx

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

We flew out to Vegas to do a road trip. Thanks for checking the video out! I appreciate the support

[@johnelliott7375]

That whole set up is cool.

[@muddboss3309]

great video love it

[@johnelliott7375]

Great job.

[@ovlov245]

LOVE A 6V!!!!

[@GuildOfCalamity]

The end of this video is really cool... would love an update on the 6v53.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY! I was just thinking that we had not seen you in a while! Thumbs UP man!!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Yeah we were on a little trip for a bit. But now back to work. And thanks man

[@cool74pickup98]

Just a suggestion but that engine on that air boat would be absalutly awesome

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

It's a little too heavy for that. The power to weight ratio is not very good

[@fritzcaddy]

Torque monster gear reduction 2 blade prop woah baby.

[@Copesthetic-Aesthetic]

A lot of fork trucks are duel fuel, they can run off gas, or propane. Good chance there is a valve to switch back, and forth between the two.

[@johnelliott7375]

Looks like you have a great piece to start with.

[@danhard8440]

this engine would kick azz in the truck Ranchero !!!

[@ImSrry4BeingWhite]

ur my youtube hero fam

[@jefferybye2169]

Enjoy your trip to Vegas, cant wait to see the Torino.

[@curtishatch149]

Thanks!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

Thank you very much Curtis!

[@calarndt]

@NoNonsenseKnowHow I know this is real old Chris, but I just have to let you know, you can't use starting fluid on a propane engine. Propane when present with starting fluid will not fire since the mixture is so rich that even with good spark it won't ignite. So on a propane motor you have to nail down all the details first like you saw here. Fix the leaks, clean the plugs, ensure the solenoid is opening ( yeah removing it works too! ). Wala the motor jumps to life! Low compression on a propane motor is almost a non-issue.

[@ianwille5780]

That little tractor said”uh no I’m not picking that up”

[@daviddzedzy9194]

THUMBS UP ,VERRY GOOD VID

[@F1car_rallycar_supercarvideos]

Your videos very halp full for my future garage and car and bike 🚴 so thanks for every thing...... I remember you till i can live.... Your like Hogwarts school of automobile..... For me....

[@d.sparkes346]

For the John Deere to lift a bit more, I think AvE did a video years ago about tinkering with the relief valve on the loader circuit on his...

[@johnelliott7375]

Try it out, I dig the field mentality of fix it.

[@clarencewiles963]

Thumbs up 👍 that not smoking 💨needs a TLC 🛠️

[@chaelodoul9401]

I wanted to share the vibe I’m getting watching this. For some reason, to me it feels like you’re on a flight line at night, of course. I don’t know what gives off that vibe to me or why I would feel the need to share it, but there it is. Oh. Well. I’m high too if that matters. I dunno 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

It might be all of the reefer unit running in the background. They were causing that drone

[@chrissargent8398]

At least your boat runs!! We bought a Seadoo Utopia 205. Beautiful boat! Mercury power head and Jet drive was a pain in the ass to locate parts! End game, the wood sandwiched in the fiberglass was rotting compromising the structure and resale.. BOAT = Bust Out Another Thousand..

[@bombardier3qtrlbpsi]

Any willitrun video will do.! Nice job 👍

[@JohnSmith-kz1ll]

At first I was confused the title has 6v53 and you were talking about propane and my mind was warping until you opened the hood. That Ford motor in the forklift is a good engine

[@dieterlange7581]

That engine sounds really good make a hell of a truck motor what are you been for so long You need to make more videos man more consistency would be much appreciated I know you're a busy guy love the videos anyway👍🇺🇸✌️👌

[@davekimbler2308]

That would really go nice in an old vintage school bus from like the 40’s or 50’s ! You could make it a camper and pull your boat ! There has to be one in PA by you !

[@davidrice313]

You have a lot of ⚽️ starting that thing on the hoist. I kept thinking it was gunna break that chain. That was awesome though.

[@wbarney59]

I worked for Ballantine forklift in Huntington Valley. We fixed hundreds of those forklifts

[@wp9409]

How's the fan boat coming along? Like to see some closure on a few of the older projects!

[@NoNonsenseKnowHow]

It will hopefully be one of the that's videos.

[@HardwayRanch]

My 6v-53 has been on the engine stand in my workshop for nearly 10 years! Now I want to get it running...

[@TestECull]

12:14 What'd I tell ya hahaha. Soon as she lit off at all, all six came online. Sounding GREAT! Quiet, though, needs the exhaust header dumped.

[@robertbusin9983]

It's handy for home take care All ROB

[@morgansword]

Been a while since I visited your channel. I am the seventy two year old ex mechanic who ain't so bad to be around should you have to visit grandpa at the nursing home age people. I built those old detroits an the best thing they did was make a lot of noise. I did do a twin turbo on one with marine one ten injectors, turned it to three thousand rpm's and found it would scream in a old truck it was in, by the way... this was a true twin rear drive rear ends five ton truck with a five speed transmission and a four speed brownie, (a auxiliary transmission that doesn't make those shifts so far apart, real progressive power to the ground. Had a twenty four foot dump flatbed with siderack's so it could take a lot of loose material and go with it. I turned the governor down to twenty five hundred rpm's and gave it a job.,.. I forget just how much weight we would put on it but six cords of wet firewood that needed to season.... point is, it kept up on the highway. It did sixty five to seventy miles an hour on ten hundred twenty tires and with the twin stacks (chrome) rolling coal, it would set the sky on fire at night, the tops of the pipes were blue for about a third of the way from the top... and when that jake brake came on, everyone wanted to drive it. Now I see a cummins power dodge in your daily so I just don't know if its a mopar thing for you or the love of a cummins engine. There is a guy back in Kansas, Silas, a white guy about thirtyish in age, never really done much mechanically but he and his dad have scrap yards... price of steel is coming down a little so if you match scrap price and a few nickels more with a good story line could pick out a nice looking not all rusted out truck from the forties or fifties, sixties.... what ever twists your crank besides that blond you were seen with in this video.. (damn she is hotter than a stolen three dollar pistol) I don't know about you but a room full of mirrors, some fun cream, a few drinks to get her in the crazy mood.. I think you get the point. I may be old, I sure as hell ain't dead! Getting back to my dream or maybe even yours was I able to get you to try this, trucks of that age are most all the same except the cab of choice. That fellow I mentioned with the scrap yard, his channel is "Adventures made from scratch". He has some sweet looking forty six model chevy trucks in the two ton (1 1/2 ton) range rigs... also a few really decent fords in the fifties and sixties that could go patina look so easy or paint if you wish. Clean the outside of that detroit, fix the shift top on that five speed, chrome the valve covers as that is what people see first. Hell, get to the point, V6 engines just talk twin exhaust and with the right mufflers so it still talks a little without taking a eardrum. I guess you could put a set of grass burners under it but I just loved stacks with chrome an some guards to keep from someone burning themself on the pipes. As far as that goes, I should absolutely not have to tell you what looks great as you won't be me but just look at some of those truck shows where from a few pickups an more mid size ( C60 and bigger) trucks. What is the most common now is a patina finish, but damn, the gauge panel an interiors are just wild. They go from a road sign patched to full decore inside including their choice in shift levers. Oh to be young for even a few months. Look, when I turned thirty, I went from chicken plucking poor to being a millionaire a few times over and no such looking back. My cheating wife looked at our joint bank account and picked herself a broke dick worthless piece of crap boyfriend and then said she was tired of being used for a c^^bucket! She wanted a divorce! (she has been married seven times) plus shack ups since our divorce an even begged me to take her back. Making money is easy at your age. I can make money but I just walk through it like a rain bucket. I have never remarried as they just don't like guys like me who work from barely see to can't see again. Well there is my book length comment again, I am old and just love to talk about mechanical stuff plus hot chicks so if you had the courage to read this, I applaud you... so thank you for the memory lane for a few minutes

[@johnelliott7375]

I am a huge Detroit Diesel fan My Dad worked for them for years.

[@drytoast1755]

Cool hyster right on

[@JorgeDiaz-ly5qp]

Seriously? What could I possibly suggest that has been more random and cool than what you have "will-it-start(ed)" lately? After this forklift, all I could think of is that the other dudes who wrenched on this saw you get it started and just had to eat crow. I think a cool contest would be to have your subscribers call out a ride that you could marry to that monster of a diesel. I can't think of one right now, but it would have to be something worthy of all that torque. Thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@thomaskoshinsky7768]
