If I had that parts washer, I be going down to the junkyard just to get parts to wash.

[@Hagerty]

We’re definitely doing a bit of wandering around the shop just looking for stuff to clean! 😂

[@LambeauLeeeper]

Lol just like a sand blaster.

[@gregholloway2656]

Neat washer! I wanted to see a before and after on that oil pan.

[@pv2smurf]

SAMEEEE

[@julianarra8191]

Sameee!!!

[@asarand]

Ditto!

[@mlp-hot-rod5824]

Eeyup

[@moeinsp2027]

same

[@CanadianClassicCarNut]

Really wanted to see how that oil pan and valve covers looked after being washed

[@sethdunlap9868]

I thought that same thing! ....every experience I've has was a can of Gunk, a wire brush, and a local do it yourself car wash. Never came out great.

[@SMOBY44]

You will.

[@jimmymorrison3973]

Man, this machine will save hours of time on a single project. I visit industrial pump repair shops that have a similar machine, they cannot imagine working without it. Good buy!

[@LambeauLeeeper]

Im loving these “interacting” videos. Really helpful and educational. Thanks.

[@johnds6621]

Davin has an early Christmas present. Sure beats standing over a parts washer all day. Have fun with your new toy.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Thanks for sharing this! Awesome to see this kind of equipment.

[@aaronpreston47]

We had a parts washer like that at College when I did Heavy Duty. They were amazing, could also wash our coveralls too.

[@paullemay3218]

Pretty darn amazing piece of equipment. Thank you for sharing. 🇨🇦😎

[@iknklst]

I think Davin has a new crush...on a parts washer. Me so jelly.

[@DavidChadwell]

We need a before and after of that nasty oil pan, please.

[@hoedemakerbart]

Great machine. Really saves a lot of time.

[@sonyhk3824]

Nice update. Thanks guys 👍

[@garthhowe297]

Wow... what a MONSTER of a parts washer.

[@pablorikemberg2285]

impressive and beautiful machine. I took my minutes of rest to see their work and I have been amazed with their beautiful workshop., big hug from Neuquén Argentina

[@revolutionday1]

Viva Argentina! Shoutout to Luis Scola! :-D

[@joshreyes8504]

That’s a must for every garage. That and a sand blaster. Every mechanics dream . 😇

[@isalmankhan1]

Awesome machine, definitely will save a lot of time👍

[@alotl1kevegas860]

I thought I was one of the only mechanics that is constantly cleaning parts. Especially before assembly. Cheap easy insurance.

[@shadvan9494]

that type of valve stem seal is a PITA. but they hold up better than the old fashioned umbrella seals. the only way I have ever been able to install them with out breaking at least one is with proper tool. I bought a KibbleWhite 20-20825 kit. it runs about $25 on summit racing, and includes the 4 most common size valve seal installation tools. they work wonders and I have not broken a seal since. they are a huge time saver.

[@tradfave9474]

Looks like the industrial pot-washer used in a hospital kitchen i used to work in.

[@steveanderson5888]

I bet you're very very glad you got that in your shop

[@dennisc.1189]

That is an awesome parts washer, just 4 mins.

[@ronlynch7744]

Amazing parts washer that will save a ton of time if it was done by hand. Thanks Davin , good one.

[@360VRStudios]

Awesome Washing Machine!!!

[@przstang70]

Cool machine 😎

[@KrautSpaceMagic]

Definitely want to see more content with this machine and others like it

[@vettekid3326]

I used something similar in size 30 yrs ago for automatic transmission parts in a factory. It was called a Typhoon and instead of a filter it allowed the solids to separate out like in a sediment trap and utilized a oil skimmer in the solution tank. I always wished I had access to one for my home projects instead of using stanisol in a small parts washer that the cleaner got rapidly contaminated when cleaning oily, greasy parts.

[@rdyer8764]

Davin looks like a kid with a new toy. :)) Looks like Santa came to the shop early this year!

[@MrJerryKramer]

Fantastic

[@pissbridge]

I also wanted to see the before and after on that oil pan!! Awesome washer none the less!!!

[@BrisketChef]

You could make a video of just that window washing, and the sound.. music to sleep by.. Awesome.

[@CrazyPetez]

Nice!👍👍

[@harold.degand]

I’m really impressed. We’ve got a wash machine at our workshop but it doesn’t work great as yours. After 1 hour washing, the parts aren’t so clean !!!

[@AllTerrainFamily]

Ben, did you put the probe lens on a gimbal? That was cool!

[@CarlosHenrique-ls6po]

Vc é o cara meu irmão.....um dia eu chego a essa vap..

[@deopersad2915]

Awesome washer 👍🏾👍🏾 but I have the old way of doing it by hand in a part's washer cabinet, that's what I have to do that's life thow 😃🤙🏼

[@TheHamadanners]

Too cool

[@Someone-ob1gr]

30min & everything is clean :o

[@rogjackson]

Doubles as a shower stall.

[@Hagerty]

As long as you want to shower all your skin off! 😬

[@bengardiner3867]

I see a use for that on old tools and fixtures... and 80's Chevy spindles for imca modifieds.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

I don't need one right now, but now I know where to get a parts washer from if the need ever arises.

[@thelogfather5002]

Do you leave the heater on all the time? Or just before you plan to run a cycle? And how often do you plan to change the water? Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Yay! Of course you know what this means; "more work!"

[@yepblaze9977]

If it aint hot and HUMID enough in the shop already. Wanna watch those over gooey tins and heads and the real thick stuff go through day after day after day.

[@heathersanborn4914]

Am I the only one who noticed the lifts arms at WHAMMY ! " ow my head " height

[@zippythechicken]

wonder how deep it gets into the ports of the head and intake... they should probably have attachments that can get in those pockets

[@williamlane9140]

That's impressive man!! It would be nice for us back yard builders to be able to rent one at someone's shop

[@michaelofsc4143]

Those washers are at least 20 years old, you run the filters while the machine is running and there is a skimmer while the machine is not in use. If you clean the heavy crud off with a putty knife, most all parts come clean with one washing cycle, if not just flip the part and run through again.

[@sethdunlap9868]

After reading all the comments about cleaning valve/ timing/ pushrod covers... oil pans and the likes. I wonder if there is a market for an independent parts washing service. Four minute wash time? Seems like a possible gold mine!! Cleaning can be one of the most important steps, but it tends to be the WORST step 😉

[@dd-dp4ko]

Who needs a parts washer? That's why you have children.

[@belyear]

It was my job as a kid.

[@FYMASMD]

Sure. Start the toxins loading young. Smh.

[@belyear]

What Me Worry It was a different time. Don’t do that anymore.

[@LambeauLeeeper]

What Me Worry Dude go to wal mart with your welfare check and buy a sense of humor. Smh

[@RXQ003]

Hhahah!!! That's old technology my man. I used to be a parts washer, elbow deep in gasoline. Lmao.

[@JohnnyAFG81]

We have similar ones where I work, typhoon washers.

[@overbuiltautomotive1299]

i hope to build one one day lol

[@chrispappas3750]

Ahhh, the FART 3650, technological advancement in parts washing.

[@ddcraun]

Is there a sludge tank/separator you need to clean out periodically? What is the duty cycle for that service with average usage?

[@moisesalves5964]

perfect

[@VacFink]

Very funny, i see what you did there. A useful mo is a regular mo and this was a pretty good mo. Mo' of that please.

[@peterhaan9068]

All well and good but can it clean the break room coffee cups?

[@macguru9999]

Newbie question: I gather the pistons dont have to go back into the same bores they came out of ? I did not see any labelling going on so I figure thats something you measure up later ?

[@fataxe1]

Be really cautious about that RP. It tends to build on surfaces and mucks with clearances. Make sure to clean where bearings sit and where mating surfaces are with acetone to prevent the RP from tightening things up.

[@stevenkmcduffie6501]

Shout out to the coolest guy in the car world. You the man Davin

[@stevenkmcduffie6501]

How many of your buddies have called and asked to use the parts washer? And how long did you have to pester corporate to get it?

[@fmartino100]

You should have gone for the matching dryer.

[@davidbarnsley8486]

What every profession workshop needs

[@georgegrierson]

Oh jeez... I want... or at least to borrow!

[@zackjenkins399]

I wish I could watch and learn how these guys rebuild engine in person so I could rebuild mine or even send my engine to them...

[@theotherfinnegan9955]

sweet

[@bufords]

someone must of got a new big contract, spend! more toys! spend!

[@ToomasTelling]

it works like my dishwasher at work :) it degreases and also flash dries because of the 90 degrees celsius water.

[@ssamotorsfinland]

Hi David.

[@shoominati23]

so when are you installing the spintron?

[@solstar4778]

I’d be curious on the weight before and after the wash how many pounds of gunk taken off ?

[@jasonhattrich3521]

So its soap, very 🔥 water and pb blaster mixed.good to know.

I have an old car, I would like to strengthen the engine in it, what parts should I replace? Please help, I need your information large piston, thick piston rods, large crankshaft is it enough to power the engine

[@michaela1655]

How do you dispose of the wash water? With all the petroleum in the waste water, are you able to put the discharge in the sewer?

[@digitalrailroader]

Some of your larger shops will likely employ a oil/water separator to make the water suitable to discharge into a sewer.

[@michaelofsc4143]

You never really empty the wash water, you have the filter while it is in use. When it is not in use the oil products float to the top, the machine should have a skimmer that removes the floating scum.

[@chrisdaniher8188]

I feel like Jeff Goldblum is going to come out as a FLY

[@beachboardfan9544]

Get yourselves a vapor hone!

[@Slugg-O]

Well damn. I used to was parts in a bucket with a brush and gasoline.

[@stefankesseler5392]

First congrats to the new shop and Absolutely nice to have tool. But question, are you guys really using a serpentine belt to lift this block?😳😳

[@boltonky]

Still want to know what fire blasting is? is it sandblasting? Parts washers , hot dip tanks, electrolysis washers it comes down to your requirements and what your trying to achieve.

[@ricardocampos9744]

Does this work with Dishes?

[@ThinkBeforeYouSheep]

Seems like there could be a seal put on that door, I saw alot of leaks.

[@billiondollardan]

That cleans in four minutes?!?! I bet it's about a $20,000 washer at least though

[@mynameisrufusdude]

It’s going to be like a satellite shop not a car shop 😂

[@TarquinJoseph]

*Slightly above* your everyday garage parts washer??

[@joewaren508]

The lastest potscruber

[@TTANA]

The height of the baskets needs to be more user-friendly. Especially for what I'm guessing is a very very expensive parts cleaner

[@somerandomguy3868]

What about the oil gallies?

[@Taverius]

New toy! 🤣

[@greasemonkeychris4128]

Damn i need to get me one of those... more importantly, how do i convince the boss that the workshop needs one!

[@walterknight7110]

haha 😂

[@victoroneill7924]

Seems like it would clean better if you remove the rings and bearings before washing.

[@billbeyer657]

Why would you wash the pistons if they're going t be replaced?

[@loopy4517]

To see how clean they got.

[@stevenkmcduffie6501]

How does the positrack on a Plymouth work....... It just duzzz

[@mrschwifty5564]

Time is money.

[@alekosalekos1502]

[@stevenhughes3686]

👍👌✌️😎

[@chriswenkle2635]

Who knew a video on a parts washer could be interesting. I wonder if this washer could clean a 13 year old's tennis shoes?

[@FYMASMD]

Nah. Better off burning them.💩

[@bogusbits6810]

What is the capital cost?

[@kanz2844]

PLSSS REBUILD CHEVY V6 229 ENGINE !!! THANKS 1

[@qualifiedsurgeon5011]

This is the most masculine washing machine known to man

[@z3180160]

big boy dish washing machine

[@chuckwiklund8420]

How does it clean on pots and pans ? Lmao, quicker than the wife or gf!

[@chuckwiklund8420]

Wifes and girlfriends break dishes also! Lmao

[@RXQ003]

Seems like a nifty piece of equipment, but, I do think the guy who works for the company should have spoken up more. Just my honest opinion.
