Finishing the N14 Cummins cam job.

[@boisecat]

Excellent video Warren. I'm a cat guy but have 1 N14 and am not as fermiluar with them. I always enjoy your videos and am always learning something from you. Don't let the youtube BS or the negative commenters get you down. Just keep doing what your doing. There are plenty of us out here who really appreciate it!

[@robgervais2998]

Warren, the ole saying is " cash on the wood, truck go good." lol, you are 110% correct on when it comes time to pay. I love it

[@rickbrandt9559]

Warren I come here FOR the Rants cause they "Ring so TRUE"

[@brucemackinnon3340]

Great video Warren Always impressed by your wealth of knowledge on all the equipment you work on

[@Bryanja81]

Nice work as usual Warren. Its always fun watching you work and listening to your stories.

[@raykowerchuk2326]

My son is a mechanic in BC, north of you. He works for a logging road maintenance company. You are a inspiration and a teacher to these young mechanics. Great work, we like watching and learning.

[@Rs500ybd]

Warren I Have 28 Years Now in Truck Rescue I Have Seen many Armchair Mechs ....... No Comment.

[@zeke1eod]

Sir, you are spot on! This is skilled labor, unknown customer, trying to skimp on parts, no warranty, and I do exactly the same certified check or cash only. Don't pay any mind to the idiots in the peanut gallery, merely keyboard warriors. Stay safe and God bless

[@philliphall5198]

If they asked me a price I would say under 30 k Locals never ask, just fix it was all 19 years in my shop and wife had serious heart issues, went to work for largest frac company for insurance, thank God I did ,2 open heart surgery and 4 major strokes I’m home taking care of her, piss on rest home

[@JACKATTACKED]

Wholeheartedly agree with the rant Warren. Pay or be on your way. Skill, whatever/whichever/wherever it is, isn't and doesn't come free.

[@elroyelblander6277]

👍👍right on man 👊

[@barney2633]

When that engine started, I couldn't help grinning with pleasure. Yet another good job well done.

[@Antonyg2100]

Always great videos! Thanks for keeping making them. You will always be the hardest working HD mechanic on KZbin. Sometimes we need to see other mechanics going through the struggles and remember Warren would just keep working. No complaining!

[@raycollington4310]

Love these old school proper engineered engines. Thank you for treating us to this piece of history Warren.

[@philliphall5198]

Great old engine and I think better than the ISX series 😊

[@dnixon8767]

Great video Warren. I enjoy watching the master at work. Thanks for posting.

[@jamescole1786]

5/7/23; Warren, am no a mechanic, but much enjoy learning how repairs on hvyduty engines, dozer tracks, hydraulic cylinders, transmissions...& many other components should be repaired correctly. You are 'the man' to get to repair soo many hvyduty pieces of equipment. Love your stories as you walk & talk we armchair viewers through layers of details, tolerances, oil pressures & sounds...its amazing that you soo easily transition from large ag tractors stalled/'frozen' in their malfunction mid field location..then video splice to yur (crowded) shop to begin...or continue on another tear down which you have done many times earlier in your csreer. It's always enjoyable & educational to watch & listen while you work! Stay safe. Carry on, demand your money in safest format for you, like certified check or big hunk of cash. You earn every penny! Take care!⚙️🔧👍👍👏👏👷😊

[@felbeguin7696]

I truly love watching Warren work away and listen wealth of knowledge and all of his stories he has to tell. Just makes me laugh on all the stuiped ppl that comment on his videos definitely a good laugh. Keep up the good videos Warren. Been a watching man I want to say 3 years now and watch all you later videos awesome ones to.

[@prevost8686]

I enjoy how an N14 sounds at idle.

[@philliphall5198]

It really helps to have a hand helping put the cam brging in just to be on the safe side

[@daleolson7205]

You showed your true worth when you went back in and took care of the "tick", too many people today would have said "good enough" and let it go.

[@corybransgrove6638]

I sure do love your rants on customs going cheap I agree 100% if u go cheap no warranty. Being a John Deere tech I sure enjoy your video warren keep up the good work. It’s a skilled trade being a mechanic

[@tdutilable]

Great job warren, dont let the comments bother you, your a knowledgeable mechanic and extremely hard worker,stay safe

[@philliphall5198]

He should just laugh and not let anyone upset him 😊

[@GREGLUCAS-u4f]

Still learning much from you 😅. Greg in Southern Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤.

[@johnwaby4321]

Nice one warren .sounds brilliant 👍👍👍👍 Pity about the weather. 😯

[@lennyfitzgerald4714]

Thank you for showing the work it takes to put a cam an bearings in a Cummins n14. With all the stuff you repair you have the patients of a saint an the knowledge of teacher. Thanks

[@dieselhatz4247]

Thank you for the follow up. No warranty, cash only or cleared funds or no keys, sounds great to me, plenty of idiots out there that would disagree though. Always happy with your chats and surmising of things, with a side of some professional skilled work 😊. Never went self employed, as none payers drove my dad out of business, he was a mechanic, too kind as well, scared me into not trusting people. Don’t be afraid to ask for the likes and subscriptions, it’s the norm these days, and stay safe out there!!!

[@philipspencer1834]

Warren, thanks for the video. I love the diligence you apply to making sure everything is good to go before you send it out. 😎👍

[@saintsarecoming13]

The way I do those N14 jakes is with a dial indicator. You set the indicator up right on top of the adjuster screw with the screw bottomed out and use an open end wrench to back it off watching the indicator then lock it down. It's way easier than fumbling around that Jake hat with a feeler gauge.

[@ScottWarder]

He'll probably be truly impressed(maybe shocked) with a truck that's repaired and tuned properly.. He'll think you dropped a 6nz in it for free... 😊😊 I remember my first(and only) experience with an N14 was in a Volvo 660 I ran from 01-03.. I was pretty happy with it.. It was a hell of a motor...

[@jamesgeddes797]

Top notch work, sir! I appreciate your commitment to doing the job right. Rare these days.

[@joehowell979]

“If you tell me you’re a machinist you ain’t telling me much” 😂😂😂

[@timothyreed6054]

Don't let the comments get to you Warren. Enjoy your videos.

[@mikesautotruckrepairinc.cr5621]

Nice job and you just made me feel better as i just did the overhead on a Cat 3126 and was the biggest pain to get all the pushrods to stay in place while installing the rocker shaft and after starting had a misfire and sure enough one had popped out and somehow i had ajusted it, go figure !

[@rdecoster1]

That baby sounds Nice!!!! My favorite engine idle is the grader you rebuilt the engine on. That son of a bee hive was HEALTHY!! Well let Mr. Cheap Skate try to talk you down for the final bill now.

[@terryrogers1025]

Nice job sir, nice catch on valve lash adjustment. I like the fact you, no matter how busy you are, go back and check it and make it right, speaks well of sir. Thanks for the update, congrats on a successful finish

[@philliphall5198]

Double check everything is best on everything

[@philliphall5198]

Watching you work brings back memories of the best times of my life and I really loved it 😍

[@fredflintstone8048]

In my career I always tend to make the same kinds of mistakes. As a result I double, sometimes triple check that work and will often catch the same bone headed mistakes I tend to make so the quality of work I turn out is pretty good. Not bragging because I make mistakes like anyone, I just don't trust myself regarding paying close enough attention to some things I do. Having said that I think I would make a regular practice after finishing up adjusting valve lash to go back through and check each one again before buttoning it up. Saves time in the long run. It also provides the comfort that you know it's right because you checked every one of them. Making mistakes is understandable when a guy like you who is in high demand has so many things on his plate at once and weighing on your mine. It's a distraction from concentration.

[@philliphall5198]

I agree and I’m retired working on small air cooled engines, just like the diesel engines I double or triple check all the time and even leave my self notes

[@4321grp]

Warren, Those older model Cummins are among the best truck engines ever made, I noticed how old that Freightliner is, because it has the old piston style a/c compressor on it.

[@philliphall5198]

The old York compressor were the shits but the hose clamps were the leaking crap😊

[@michaelmcdonald6727]

Hey Warren, you’ve done a great job on that N14. It does sound good. Sometimes you just have to get things fine tuned. Great getting to watch a video. Thanks much for sharing.

[@died4us590]

Great video as always, and you show thing's that other's would delete, because it's gotta be perfect. I like how you do thing's, because if something goes wrong, you catch it, and fix it. Taking time to be thorough is the only way, because it'll save you trouble later. The older you get, the more experience you have, and at 52, i'd rather be safe like you and double check everything. G-d bless.

[@Nick-nw6zg]

Dig what a finely tuned machine you are you heard something that no one else would hear, and you are making adjustments look at that no one else would do that no one you can always look proud in the mirror Warren always you are worth every penny

[@corybransgrove6638]

N14 does sound really good. 👍👌

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Warren really enjoy watching you fix this N 14. Sounds good considering what all it took to fix it correctly. Thanks for sharing stay safe Warren.

[@frankdavi2446]

Warren....next time you do a set of cam bearings on any 855 series here's another quick reference for clocking your bearings. If you look at a cam bearing you'll notice the puzzle joint on them...I've found those are at exactly 12 o'clock in the block bore. it's kind of hard to do on this current cam job you're doing but if you're doing an "out of frame" or "in frame" OH with cam it's really easy to look down from the top end..... that joint at 12 high and when installed at proper depth all your oil holes line up. I used to verify my oil holes with a 90 degree o ring pick to be 100 percent sure

[@philliphall5198]

Double checking is the key to being a successful mechanic 😊😊😊 Thank You for information

[@tomwhiting1338]

a comment is a comment; At least they are viewing+++ Thanks for sharing Warren.

[@marine2ful]

I never knew that Cummins did their valve lash that way, thanks for that!

[@zavery1645]

I would never warranty something that I can clearly see will break. If the customer wants to only fix half of the problem then it would be bad business to put your self in a situation where you know its going to break and your going to be on the hook. Iv seen you own up to your mistakes and warranty something that is worthy but if their cheap and don't fix the root of the problem that shouldn't be on you. Thank for always shooting straight and keep up the work.

[@gearjammer89]

Your commentary sounds just like me 😂 I work on small engines and people do the same thing. One guy said his mower wouldn’t run good, was blowing white smoke out the exhaust and over revving and insisted to me the muffler was bad. Obviously it wasn’t… someone left the spark plug halfway unthreaded and had jerry rigged the governor linkage and had come loose. People man… they’re something else. Love your videos. Always been fascinated with big trucks.

[@MtnHiker]

Another great video. It just doesn't pay to go cheap. Downtime costs a lot more in lost earnings than the extra money to keep your unit running properly.

[@George-dy3pt]

You're the man Warren! Thank you for another video it was great as always!

[@johnandcarolynmills3061]

Good Job,,,,Warren, Again, Give the pups a pat.

[@Angus762]

Honesty, integrity and experience. Reminder that we're all humans. Admire your work ethics and stand your ground. Wouldn't mind drinking a beer or a whisky with you and just shooting the breeze. Love a fire with some meat on it and good company.

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

I agree with getting paid before the truck leaves. I have learned that I cannot do something half a&$ed or it always bites me. I know guys that can put used parts and hammer it together with an impact and it will work fine. If I try to cut any corners, it will die on startup. I really appreciate your Videos and your commentary is on point. Thanks, Warren.

[@granttamboline1876]

Nice catch Warren! Thanks again for sharing 👍🏻

[@ndrancher4041]

The rants are why I subscribe.

Don’t be tired of the weather Warren, there’s more out there ! Watching you set those valves reminds me of my introduction to that job, was in the days when some car mfrs used to tell you to set valves hot. I didn’t like it !

[@patpat9510]

Good watching the engine get fixed. What mess you had to clean out of that motor.

[@kenbouchet7874]

Thanks WArren, keep them coming.

[@stephenheyes4324]

A great video Warren you are a truly fantastic mechanic with an encyclopedic knowledge of all things mechanical thanks for your time doing video please keep doing them when you can

[@philliphall5198]

I agree that it’s the special wrench I just suggested grinding out a tad on the curve to get it on better and mine is a old snap on one from the late 60 s

[@NerveLindsay4187]

just loved these Big Cam series / on time oil changes & bearing Rolls and they seem to run for ever / and I ran Power Service Diesel Kleen with cetane Boost in them - never had injector trouble's / THANKS for the Video Warren 👍

[@philliphall5198]

I AllWAYS enjoy replacing the rod and main brging on the 855 engines Done a thousand of them and made a bar to roll the mains brg out and in Still got it

[@tonychandler8908]
