I'm a 27 year mechanic, this free education is better than any school you'd go to and pay for it for 15 years, good job sir and thanks for helping people.

[@marcowilliams4801]

Anyone else automatically like when video first start cause you already know it's gonna be good lol

[@lmtsmt847]

For sure

[@fmagalhaes1521]

Yup😃

[@stulara1260]

haha already commenting thanks because of the first one. We can legit become diesel fitters if this guy posts enough videos. We buy a diesel engine car and take it apart and see what he is talking about!

[@Xanimations138]

😂😂😂yep!

[@TimCBuilders]

I did

[@StationaryNomad361]

You are literally the very idea that I envisioned online videos to be used for as an alternative to college courses. I hope that you have seen prosperity both financially and spiritually because of this. Knowledge is the basis for opportunity and evolution. And you gave it for free. Thank you. Too deep? Maybe so. 🤣

[@ascona28]

I'm a mechanic with 20 years of experience, but I'm looking anyway! Great explained !!! :) :) :)

[@rudolfcanvey799]

The way you thoroughly dissected the topic , in order , in simple terms and in 25 minutes is incredible. I just want to say thank you 🙏🏽

[@alexstromberg7696]

Just wanted to say that your channel is one of many things that made me want to become a "diesel mechanic", so now I'm at a company working on Scania buses, some Volvos too. This is in Sweden so no peterbuilt or CAT really

[@AdeptApe]

Well hopefully you like the career. I'm amazed how early your comment on this video was. I was staring at KZbin waiting for it to get to 100%, your comment was on the video before it even showed the video posted lol. Anyway, thanks for commenting.

[@alexstromberg7696]

@@AdeptApe I really like it at the moment, I'm more educated towards hydraulic diesels for wheel loaders and such but sometimes you don't get exactly what you want

[@tyrotrainer765]

I'm in the Philippines, middle of nowhere and recently bought a 6KW diesel genset; there is no-one in this area that works on diesel engines because the majority of vehicles and gens run on gas. So I need to get on the learning curve in terms of maintenance and rectification. I love the pace and delivery of this course, well done for a good job!

[@ertren6]

Absolutely beautifully made. Thank yoy

[@soulofanunknownsoldier8066]

Thank you so much. You are a natural teacher. Someone like you should be highly paid teaching future diesel mechanics

I figured this out changing valve stem seals on a Mercedes OM617- great example of a simple and iconic diesel engine design.

[@aaronwarren4642]

Love the video better yet all your videos!! I’m excited that you started this series and the way you make things so simple to understand. However that was the quickest 23 minutes of my life and am sad it’s done 😢. Can’t wait for the next installment, keep up the great work!

[@AdeptApe]

Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you feel that way, but during editing I had to watch this video about 6 times, so it is the longest 23 minutes of my life.

Wow, best of best , taking notes on real note book. Spreading sharing knowledge is like giving actual money and Josh you gave me at least 2000 dollars or more , I saved that much money by working on my C15 , thanks a lot

[@marty639]

Being a diesel mechanic is easy because they never break. They never break because the parts are bigger. More robust.

[@JesusRivera-gp2sc]

Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge on diesel engines. This will help me provide for my family in the future

[@joeygawl4346]

I have just finished my diesel mechanic apprenticeship recently and am diagnosing trucks on my own now. Of course my mentor is still in the shop around me if I ever have any questions. But I just want to thank you so much for these videos because they have helped me get a better understanding of these engines so that I dont have to annoy my mentor with a billion questions all the time (even though he loves talking about stuff). Thank you Sir and I look forward to any videos you have coming out in the future =]

[@cbmech2563]

Well done again. Ive been at this since 1969 and this is a very well done refresher.

[@John5ive]

Thanks again for taking the time to do these videos. Lots of great detail in components and operation. I saw this uploaded late at night , it seems like a lot of work on top of your day job. You are generous with your time educating people.

[@TroopThrowback]

Loving this primer on Diesel engines. In my mid 40’s, worked on all my own small and car and truck gas engines all my life. Wanting to understand the basics of diesel systems to expand my knowledge. Thanks for taking the time to teach and record and share your knowledge!

[@victormcox]

My C15 is in the shop now for worn valves. Scheduled an overhead adjustment, couldn't get the feelers under the rocker properly, which lets you know the valve stem was too high! Could have been bad if wasn't caught. Thanks for the video!

[@ikay2102]

I have C-12, I went in for bad injector and rack adjustment. Found 2 broken valve springs, worn out rod bearings, 2 cam lobes 25% , camshaft, 2 locked up rocker rollers. Lol Just like said, caught in time....

Thank you for taking the time to explain the concept SLOOOWLY thus allowing for good intake and processing of information and reducing the brain combustion caused by excess information. I too have a dog named Buddy. Also, I am thinking about switching careers. In my younger years I used to be interested in how the human mind and body function. As I got older I became interested in how things work and began to evolve in a completely different direction. I began searching youtube for diesel engine concepts and found myself enjoying your videos. You do a great job at explaining complex topics in a way that is easy to understand. Ever thought of becoming a diesel mechanic instructor?

Brilliant. Thank you. I bought a skoolie and am learning how to take care of it. You are a very good teacher, easy to listen to and very clear explanations. Again. Thank You

Thank you Josh for another wonderful diesel engine video. Great job sir, TMP from N.J.

[@jaythefit8817]

I would say this is pre 101 diesel engines. It gets a little more difficult when fuel injection systems are explained. I haven't worked in the industry for more than ten years and at that time there were four basic systems: unit injectors (Detroit and some Caterpillar), pressure timed (Cummins), injection pumps inline and rotary for many kinds of engines, and of course HEUI ( hydraulics electronic unit injectors) which were found in Caterpillar, international, and Ford power-stroke. All of them use some sort of fuel system to inject high pressure atomized fuel into the cylinder using a cam of sorts but HEUI's do not use a cam for high pressure injection but instead use high pressure hydraulic oil for injection. Today diesel engines are quieter using some sort flame timing to eliminate that diesel knock. And of course soot has been a major topic of concern and technologies to lower soot levels.

[@ikay2102]

Great video Josh. I like how you kept straight face when kids were going nuts on back ground 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Well It was either work on the video with them home or not make one. Need to keep posting regardless.

[@georgiakernodle6642]

I love your channel and educational videos. I started a diesel technology course but struggled with some things because it wasn't "dumbed down" enough for me. Not that I'm not intelligent, it's just that my strong points are were always linear subjects.... anything that gets you from point a to b with the simple use of logic. This is a vast course with so many components and you have helped me keep interest and understand so much more. I appreciate you.

[@Brian-nt1hh]

The timing on this discovered course is perfect for my use, thx man

[@jasonstclair6293]

Good video with one exception... the reason a gas engine's head is not flat has nothing to do with compression ratios. A gas engine's piston is usually flat or domed outward while a diesel engine piston is usually carved out with a cone shape in it. It has more to do with how the spark travels from the spark plug through the mixture and how it buns than compression. It's the whole reason behind the Hemi engine. You could change the compression ration much cheaper and easier by changing the connecting rod length to alter the amount of space between the piston and head at TDC..

[@orestisfraSPDR]
