Handy tip for the copper washers, tighten to where you think is right, then just tap the bolt with a hammer, it will seat the washer, then tighten again

I love to watch your little fixes along the way, like the hose clamp on the slide hammer end to grip the screw. It's the kind of stuff we do during our projects almost without a thought, but it always tickles me to see other people's ingenuity at work! Your calm approach to the good and the bad alike is a welcome change from some of the frenetic channels. Keep up the great work!

You seem to be down, tired? Getting towards the end of a project I seem to struggle…..it’s like work rather than an interesting adventure. You know? Doing great Mr. Hillbilly 😂! The extent of the damage you have taken on is beyond what sane humans would conceive. Only true gearheads would think of doing either of these refreshments, your commitment is notable and undeniable. And seeing you work on something that isn’t dripping toxic compounds and contaminating everything that is touched is amazing. I have to recognize the improvement in cleanliness tonight. Kudos!

I'm an engine builder for 55+ yrs and now I'm down to motorcycle size. It's so good to watch and listen to your detailed commentary (its the kind of dialog that goes on in my head, what sealer here, what grease, what oil), you will go far. I have recently been using silicone grease on rubber parts to prevent breakdown, but I'm still not too sure if matters. There are good high quality rubbers and really really bad ones. I am a huge Isuzu fan and have a 4JJ1 in my ute in AUS. Love your work and will cheer when you hit 100K which will be soon I'm sure. Oh yeah those hose clamps are WAY COOL!

Theae are genuinely the highest quality videos of these types of heavy equipment rebuilt videos on KZbin. There is "professional" KZbinrs with way more resources & equipment Matt who's contents doesn't come close to the camera work quality of Matts videos. Also the detail he goes into far exceeds that of any other videos I seen. Great work & content Matt, the standard of your work is top notch.

I know the internet is filled with keyboard geniuses and sorting it out without going insane yourself is the hardest parts of sorting out good information. Some people mean well and others are just down right mean. Charlie is a handsome animal and having my own pet great company. Coming along great, this new clamping system is growing a lot with use of shrinking a fitting tight. I never thought about just tapping on those fuel washers for the banjo fittings would help seal things but makes sense. I am with you all the way on this..... and someone out there sponsor this man with a decent forklift!!!!

Very true, I always think of forklifts in the “chunkier” variety (think pre telehander) as that is what we have on our farm brings its own set of problems with clearance in smaller buildings though 😬.

This engine series has been seriously entertaining to watch. Mr. Hillbilly is definitely a mechanic I'd teust working on an c aircraft engine if he was an AP certified mechanic. As Veteran Coast Guard Aviation Machinist Mate on Pratt and Whitney R1820 radial engines and GE T58 turboshaft jet engines I think I'm qualified to say that.

The best for sealing easily hot aluminium parts is to use copper o-ring. It's thin walled copper with fibers inside the hollow (you can't see fibers unless you cut it). It flattens easily according to both surface when crushed by a bolt. In Europe it's easy too find under norm DIN 7603-C. The C is a must, it stand for the shape or you will get standard copper washers. Greetings from Belgium.

Gonna be cool to see that engine chug to life and turn some diesel into smoke and noise! Even if you have to buy one of those craptastic cone filters from the autostore...put a filter on the intake of the turbo. Not sure if you can build a resistor voltage divider to take the 24V pulse from the alternator to turn it into a 12v signal (not even sure if the excavator run on 24v or 12v) [holy hell...just looked at the auto meter diesel tachometer adapter...those things run over $100 easy.,..jeez!] Keep em coming!!!!
