The Papageno Diaries: S2 Ep 2 "Engine HELL, Brits, Beer and SURPRISE CREW!"

[@hblazza]

Guys, you need to investigate how the engine got water in the cylinders (Hydro locked) in the first place. If you don't find the problem, it WILL happen again and next time you could do damage you won't walk away from. Trying to start against the water pressure could easily bend a rod and f*ck the engine. Check the syphon break, make sure it's clear and operating properly. Check your exhaust system and make sure the engine is discharging its exhaust water properly. If it's not or the syphon break isn't working properly when you shut down the engine, sea water rushes back up the exhaust and into the cylinders... Good Luck!!!!!

[@kb4777]

Nice Fast Show recital! Keep on keepin on Liz - you guys have done so well to get even this far....

[@MatthewBradley1]

Nice to see the chemistry developing with the Papageno crew. Simply fantastic!

[@vampireslayer1989]

Give it time. You have too many people living in a space half the size of a VW Bus.

[@EvelOttos]

Fuck yeah. A rocking, clearly shot and short intro. Good work! I'm into it.

[@phillipsanchez4192]

This is fun to watch... I am pulling for you to make this all come together, Lizbeth.

[@MouseToes]

Please video an outside view of her with the rigging. And perhaps some snapshots of the interior for where the crew will be.

[@EarleWrites]

Will do definitely

[@mykirbs2002]

How exciting for you all.. looks like it’s going to be a fun crew and great videos to fallow....

[@Dean0017]

Good work guys. Obviously talented. I'm so impressed with the engine work and tig welding. Just what Liz needs. Also great to have the four of you to break the tension when it arises. Thumbs up

So nice to see sails go up and the engine running. Looks like you’ll be island hopping in no time!

[@DansAm76]

So glad to see the sail up! And the new rails not all mangled. Hope the water in the engine is not a regular issue or some head work will be in order. Good luck!

[@347oneill]

this is going to be a Bloody Epic adventure! the intro totally sucks you in. then the tale begins. crew forming up. sails being hosted! supplies being stowed below decks. the drunken sailors, to putting on the final touches to the Papageno. Luv it lizbef and crew. can not wait to see you all on the lean going to a far away and exotic place. have a great week.

[@garyc5483]

Much better video. :-) Now for the serious bit. The water did not get in the engine by accident. You need to get the head off to check for head/block cracks or head/block warpage, wet liner seal leak or hopefully just a blown head gasket. Hope you find the problem and get it fixed soon. Have fun. Fair winds & regards from the UK

LJ ! What a damn good job ! I love the new Intro and also the Epidemic Sound Music ! This is a good sign. If you have enough energy to focus on SUCH things - than life is easy. And - btw - on my first (and unfortunately only) sail-cruise in the BVI's we bought 18 (!) bottles of white rum before we started (8 people aboard), 2 weeks later - empty ! Nobody was drunk, so don't be shy ;-) The real Caribbean Painkilla is a hell of a stuff ! Good luck for all of your future plans with best regards from Germany

[@donversen6050]

Best video yet, no whinging and a few laughs!

[@thedawex90]

Did you find out how the water got into the cylinders in the first place? if not you're bound to have the problem again. My guess is the exhaust manifold having rusted and is leaking water back into the engine through the exhaust valves.

[@baeschler]

Nice start Liz. We will be out here watching.

[@TUBELSLIDER]

It's so exciting to finally see the rigging, sails, and deck rails back on Papageno! Finally!!

Making me smile and laugh as usual!!! Starting my morning with you is always a great start to my day! It seems pretty obvious Jorns "friend" thinks more of him than a friend. Haha!! Does he know? How can he not? She's gorgeous and seems to be a sweetheart, MAN...… whatcha waiting on??? Hahaha!!! Things seem to be going great for you so far and looks like it will continue as everyone seems to get along quite nicely. Like someone else mentioned on here, have you looked into why you ended up with water in the engine in the first place? I'm sure you have thought of that, but, just mentioning it to help save you future problems. No need for my two cents because Jorn seems to be pretty mechanically inclined to know where to look. Best wishes with the engine and transmission. Keep that transmission full until you fix it or it'll burn up and be useless which i'm sure you know what that means...… more $$$$$$$! No one wants that! As always my dearest Liz.....keep it real and best wishes with everything!!!!

You can get starters re wound and new brushes so end up like new

[@ascott6804]

Ha ha ha ha!!! Blah blah bu blah!! Paps has a great crew!!

[@netpackrat]

I didn't notice, but was the guy welding on the new hard rail a crew member with a portable TIG unit, or was that somebody brought in from the yard? If the former, way cool (and make maximum use of that capability while he's on board!). My thought while watching that, was were I not a welder (I am) I probably would have cheaped out and gone for regular life lines even though an Amel is supposed to have hard rails, and used that money elsewhere on the boat. But if you can do it yourselves for just the cost of materials, then of course that changes the equation.

[@chuckprice9500]

Did you find how the liquid was getting into the cylinders ? Remember the head was off not to long ago !

The rag was ridiculous. I have no idea what that could have been used for!

[@stimpsonjcat67]

@@EarleWrites it is pretty common for mechanics to stuff rags into openings of engine parts, especially intakes, when doing work to prevent things getting into those openings. i.e. stuffing a rag into an open carburetor intake to prevent dropping nuts/bolts/etc from falling in there and then having to take that apart to remove the dropped part. I suspect someone did that here and simply forgot to remove the rag when they re-assembled things. Good to see you here in the comments! What's up with the 21 paintings?

It's somebody else that isn't really coming, but maybe they are? lol Oh, and I have a sail that attaches the same way. The best way to "install" it is to slide the tabs into the boom first then slide the tabs into the mast. It can't flap around as much that way. ; - )

But, Monty Python is always Good..And Benny Hill, Of Course....I liked Tree-Beard's masthead Asides. Now that you got the Rag out of her Intake, and the water out of her cylinders, the engine will seem like a big Tug Engine,LOL! My concern is, How TF did all that Water get inside anyway? All MY Possibilities are BAD Ones. Blown Head gasket, and/or Cracked Block or head internally. Or Warped Head due to Overheating....Captain, I Respectfully Submit let's Pull the transmission and Find that Leak and fix it, and Inspect the clutches/bearings, BEFORE we Burn it Down and Wind Up On The Rocks. As long as the engine Runs At All, It's Good for awhile yet. Transmissions get Overlooked WAY Too Much, however, and it doesn't seem to me like the previous owners gave a rusty rat fuck, or knew little or nothing about PREVENTIVE Maintenance. Trans parts not very common, engine parts much more so. Looking Good So far, otherwise.

[@patrickhay8079]

I went up that mast in Kalmar, Sweden, way back in 1971 to fix a broken r/t aerial. I was 23, long haired, handsome and fit, too, but without the 21st century tattoos. It was about 15 cm taller then, before it got broken and spliced, so no-one now is ever going to get ‘higher’ than me on Papageno.

[@SVRoquetta]

@@patrickhay8079 great bit of history, are you original owner?

[@patrickhay8079]

SV Roquetta No. I crewed for the first owner. Did some long cruises around Ireland, the Baltic, the Adriatic and the Ionian, sometimes with my girlfriend, now ex-wife, on board. Owner was Anthony Butler from Warsash. Reputed to have been SOE during WW2. Expert navigator and contributor/editor of RCC cruising notes - so we had to explore and chart every possible anchorage and channel that interested him. There was no GPS of course, and the Baltic charts were still marked with minefields.

At the absolute least your engine needs a total rebuild. Ideally a totally new engine. No surprise I’m sure but the engine will be the crux’s of most of your problems

[@EarleWrites]

I can't wait for you to watch the next episode because the amazing Jorn is a genius. Papageno has a very good engine. It's the smaller other issues around it that required some maintence, and some parts replacing. We call Jorn Frankenstein now, and Papageno is his hybrid species! We're very happy to have a team of people from different specialisms, welding, carpentry, engineering and electricity!

[@jimnickles2347]

That's how it Is with engines, the Engine Itself can be Good, or Good Enough, it's always the Peripherals that cause the headaches. Bad hoses Blowing, rotten fuel lines breaking, fan belts, worn seals/gaskets and their damned LEAKS, LOL. IIRC, Liz already had the alternator Rebuilt? Snag a Spare, if possible. As long as the engine doesn't knock or clatter LOUDLY, or Run poorly, it should be Good. It'll Warn you Beforehand when it's Sick. The Transmission WON'T. It'll quietly Work until it Goes Out. @@EarleWrites

[@netpackrat]

It definitely didn't do the engine any good, but at least it was just hydraulic locked and not seized, but sometimes even a seized engine can be revived and continue in service. This one may go a few months and croak or it may go for years. A lot of variables and things that can go wrong, but marine diesels are at least built pretty tough. Certainly saving for a re-power sooner or later is in order with a boat that age regardless. I hope they changed the oil after they got the water out of the cylinders. And now while they are in a port is the time to start picking up spares. Spare accessories, spare belts, spare cable and wiring, injectors, spare sealant, gaskets, gasket making material, etc. A sheet of gasket material and some razor blades can be a life saver. For sure track down what let the water into the engine, not only so it doesn't happen again, but because add another failure point in that system, and it could just as easily sink the boat. Oh yeah, extra pumps and make sure there is a manual pump in working order. Good news is at least they can sail now even if the engine doesn't work.
