Iron Duke Kenworth Restoration Ep.8 Turbo Surgery

[@Dotson869]

Oil was coming out of the turbo and going in to the intake. But my suggestion would be to pull the exhaust manifold and replace it. But while you’re in there make sure you’re not getting oil from the engine itself. Also those studs are threaded in to the manifold. Smack the exhaust housing with a BFH it’ll come off.

[@Anti-Static_Matt]

When life gets tough, there's always a bigger hammer. Another awesome episode, thanks Mark

[@martineames2491]

Wow! Great progress Mark. Having that workshop in place when it’s -36 outside must bring the biggest smile on days like that.

[@darylmedd1168]

The new bolts for the turbo have to come from CAT. They’re a special alloy so the coefficient of thermal expansion more closely matches the cast manifold and turbo housing. Regular bolts will break first time it gets hot. Use a torque wrench.

[@bigyellowjimmy]

Been there, done that. Regular G8's break

[@philgrimsey3637]

Top video. I'm watching it on lunch break with the sounds of a bus maintenance depot to the right of me making all the same noises as you are. 👍

[@danielseelye6005]

Hey Mark, be sure to save that oil return line for the turbo. Steve Feszchak of FSC Trucking did a turbo replacement on his '84 Pete 362 that also runs a 3406B Cat. When he got the new turbo, he found the oil return line they shipped was too short and had to reuse the old return line so as to get his truck working again (he works his cabover Pete) so just keep that in mind.

[@shawnchurch316]

Oil on the compressor side of the turbo usually means that the sealing rings in the turbo are gone. That turbo uses plain bearings so the oil film strength is the bearing surface.

[@backpi]

Mark I just wish your episode's were longer it really makes my day. 👊🏾😊

[@leightoncollins3704]

that oil in the intake is most likely the seals in that turbo being shot oil goes past the compressor wheel and is fed into the intake, had alot of old trucks go runaway cause of this where i live

[@theteggyfam9621]

Ah yes nothing beats waking up at 4am to watch one of your favorite guys work on his toys! Keep it up Mark!

[@regal105]

Ol twin sticks reassuring me it’s Thursday again

You know it's cold when the snow "squeaks" when you walk on it!

[@mh-tn3ic]

Thanks Mark. Morning coffee always tastes better with a TwinStick video ☕

[@johnforster5312]

Kenworths, Peterbilts and now chainsaws. Truly a man after my own heart, Mark. Great episode, as always. I'll be off driving the Duke's descendant tonight, a Kenworth K200 cabover.

[@jamestauschek5424]

How nice is it to be workin' inside? No more kneeling or lying down on an icy patch of crusty snow and losing feelin' in your extremities. Movin' up in the world Mark! Keep up the awesome work on these vintage iron dinosaurs.

[@farmgineering3259]

Grab yourself some 3/4” drive sockets. You would be surprised how much grunt you lose when using a reducer. I enjoy the videos and watch every week. Keep up the good work !

[@betaakey]

A new turbski and jake for iron duke absolutely good and finally at least got some more happiness for iron duke yay

[@Sauerbrew777]

Another option for rusty bolts is a heat induction tool(Bolt Buster). They're a little pricey, but I've seen them do amazing things with seized bolts. The big plus is they fit in a tool box and don't take up floor space! Also, no open flame to worry about!

[@dannyodonnell6227]

Good morning twin sticks thanks for letting me look over your shoulder again I know I'm not helping much but I shure enjoy your videos thank Mark have a good one.

[@simonmaclennan1898]

A new introduction, missed the "oh man!" Great episode.

[@TwinStix]

Yeah maybe I should put that back in 🤔

[@paulnorval9646]

Good to see you being able to work any of the trucks in your fleet Mark, enjoy.

[@patriotmob3227]

PDI makes a turbo housing and turbo that flows better and increases Horse Power that people highly recommend and the price is fair. It may be worth looking into since you are replacing those components already.

[@maxxcherry6955]

I'm pretty good at tearing thing's apart. When it comes to putting thing's back together not so much . More power too you sir ! One other thing , I throughly enjoy the music you use in your videos . THX !

[@25slider]

Thanks for the great video I dont know who wrote that comment but I do apologize I watch you all the time thanks again

[@maxpuppy96]

Your channel has the best music, a little John Anderson

[@kerryevans7413]

You are making progress slowly but surely on the Duke. Keep up the good work

[@bogan4859]

Its awesome seeing you work on these old bits of iron. With the stuck studs drill a hole through them then heat around the outside of the hole, should punch out without much fuss. Hope you and the family are doing good from me here in Western Australia.

[@LS2MGB]

Hi Keith, I'm watching from Perth, WA too!!

[@JamesPretty]

nice to chop some wood in a heated shop :)

[@spottedhoss1920]

Great video Mark, I've been busy working long hours this last week and I have been itching to watch this video finally got to see it this morning. I've changed two of those turbo's on those engines and they seem to all end up the same, but it didn't help yours sitting for many years. Love the work your doing to those trucks. See you on the next one

[@michaeljestice4234]

The shortest 21 minutes of my life! Keep em coming

[@lesgreen4824]

The turbo cartridge you took out that you called a paperweight can be reconditioned at a good Turbo shop. They split the vanes from the shaft, clean them up, asses whats reuseable and reassemble with new seals and bnearings, they balance them. Its a lot cheaper than getting new or using unknown used ones.

[@1965Gindy]

Yeah I had to battle rusty daytons on my 1965 van trailer. But I still love them. Of course the thing even still has those split rims with the 2 piece lock ring.

[@rogerblack6270]

And now I will have that chicken truck song in my head all day

[@marysoldeeley2218]

Oh yeah! All the difficult things in one episode. Perfect before bed. 😊 I vote bigger hammer too! Great work!

[@adamhoffman3687]

Probably best to replace the manifold along with the turbo.less bs in the long run

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

not when the manifold bolts breaks off in the head,

[@stephenadams5293]

You spun that turbo when you took it apart and I could feel it in my spine. Lol

[@tonos8985]

"I love the smell of two strokes in the morning" thumbs up! I do love them smokers (2 stroke motorbikes) Awesome episode Mark! I love the way ypu explain what you are doing. Keep up the good work!

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Well,in a nice warm garage working on the koolest truck, catch ya on the next one

[@BigWarningSign]

Cheers from Victoria bc, love the work, your the reason I'm going to mechanics for a career

[@tommyhall8301]

Good morning buddy glad you are working on the iron duke good luck keep warm an safe

[@79tazman]

I am so sick of this winter with all the super cold days and all the snow and now it seems to warm up melt most of the snow just to dump more the next day. I lost count how many times that has done that I'm so glad it's march and hope spring is early because I can't take anymore of this winter at all.

[@TwinStix]

Global warming isn’t working 😂

[@stovebolt448]

Thanks for the video Mark, step by step your getting there.

When you start looking for use tax make sure you check the last day of the pressure test on it it's just like your tax for scuba divers they have to be pressurized intestine okay this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida God bless and have a great day and stay safe

[@launceherron]

Awesome

[@DieselDoc78]

As others have said, turbo seals are bad leading to the oil in the pressure side of the turbo. My friend, i believe the next thing you need is an air hammer. Honestly, so helpful for SO many things in the heavy truck world. Be safe and see you next week.

[@andrewpalmer1623]

Surely you have a shovel handy in the garage, use it to lift wheel off studs and drag backwards with handle while steadying wheel. saves all the struggle and so much cheaper than a hydraulic trolley.

[@TwinStix]

Good tip 👍

[@thomasbailey8306]

Those bolts that hold the turbo on are usually threaded studs..And the manifold is threaded...also oil on the intake side of turbo usually means one of 2 things. Seals are out of Turbo. Or so much blowby that its coming back through from engine. With that turbo being froze it could very well be the blowby. But thats just my opinion. Hopefully its just the turbo.. Also your Tube for the breather for engine could be plugged also. Its on top of one of the Valve covers. That Milwaukee Impact is a Beast. Great Video.

[@wolfmanwilcher4702]

I would take pictures of how everything looks before taking it off love the cabover mark good looker

[@tater_relocater]

He is taking video…😂

[@dandersonjr]

@@tater_relocater My thoughts exactly.

[@DoRC]

If the RAM freed up when the line blew then the ram itself likely is fine internally. Sounds like there's a valving issue or a blocked line causing fluid to not flow correctly. I could be wrong as I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure that if the RAM was seized it would stay seized whether the lines were connected or not.

[@TwinStix]

Yeah I’ll probably take it out of there and all the lines off both, clean everything and put back together 🤔

[@clevelandmaker386]

@@TwinStix good video as usual ....but I still love Daytons!!! Well maintained ones are easy

Probably the fastest 21 1/2 minutes on KZbin.

[@machinistbytrade]

As for bigger torch...for as much as you're using it, just set up with oxy/propane instead of using acetylene. You just use regular 20 or 30lb propane tanks.

[@DLKHAY]

completely agree, and cleaner as well.

[@fernandoffdes]

I love seeing the way you work, congratulations, 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@sergebruneau4873]

I've picked myself up a 1970 K100 that I will be restoring and came across your channel. Love it... I'll be going through pretty much the same process you're doing!!!... Would love to chat if you have tips and tricks. I'll gladly take those dayton rims and rubber off your hand if you have no use for them!!!

[@Blackinthailand]

God damn its "TST" Twin Sticks Thursday!! So now we got "TST" to go with "FDF" Foot down Friday !!

[@danielrutland3018]

Hey mark, with there being oil on the air side of the turbo I believe it we be best to take the air to air apart and clean it. Either it soon to be a runaway or when it was still in use it had already ran away. Just it sitting around for so long I doubt you would have to worry about it, but never hurts to check.

[@tater_relocater]

Jwc

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

it doesnt have a air to air, it has at most a intercooler, that old it may just go to the intake,

[@michaelshaffer6532]

[@brandondrescher2182]

Another great video Mark and awesome to see some new progress on the Duke. A bigger hammer always helps with the job.

[@banditgrizzy1955]

[@danmacsween3448]

Another great episode Twinsticks, oil likely coming in from turbo seal and bearing , your gantry will be a great tool to add to your garage .Great work ! 👍🇨🇦

[@jimdieseldawg3435]

Hey Mark. We love ya, man, so please don’t use a gas torch above you when you’re laying on the floor, like you did when you heated the last rear axle bump-stop bolt. One involuntary slip or muscle-jerk and, well, I don’t want to think about the consequences 😬 Great work, man, but torch from above please 🙂

[@TwinStix]

Good tip 👍

[@kennylovettshow]

The lift cylinder, call Power Packer in Ohio. They make new pumps and cylinder . If not, I have a shop in my town in Texas that rebuilt mine for my cabover. I did buy a new pump from Power Packer. Check them out first.

[@Imagine-lc9sp]

A little trick an old fella taught me years ago for seized studs.....heat it up reallly hot then leave it and let it completely cool stud will shrink of housing

[@shortvidz9576]

Putting those things together is easy taking them apart is no joke

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

when you make hoses lube the taper and the hose to make your life easier, the way you removed the turbo is called the cartridge, back in the day you could buy just that and you reused all the other stuff so you didnt have to remove the manifold, to remove a cat turbo you tighten the bolts and break them its easier, the bolts are stainless,

[@Ktgsvtrdg66]

Glad you don't have to deal with those daytons in the miserable wet snow.

[@TERoss-jk9ny]

I think at one time the AIR FILTER was plugged. Causes oil to bypass the seals, and it might be the cause of oil up towards the intake. Pull it off the aftercooler and see if it’s up that far. I doubt it is.

[@OfficialStumpMan]

Some good old John Anderson.

[@oswaldmarquez4543]

I love the wagon wheels on the duke truck.

[@TwinStix]

Yeah they look cool but I’m actually going to steal the 24.5 wheels and hubs off #ProjectSnowman for the Duke and mount new ConMet hubs and the movie correct 22” split rings on it

[@josephjones4468]

Maybe you could get some wooden blocks at different heights to put under your jack stands. Works for me

[@fazerainbow5674]

awsome video mark oil was comeing out of the turbo and going into the intake but my suggestion would be to pull the exhaust manifold and replace it but while youre in there make sure youre not getting oil from the engine its self also those studsare threaed into the manifold smack the exhaust houseing with a bfh itll come off

[@captainmorgan1107]

Awesome, more work on the K125! Love the cabovers!

[@simonturner10]

That turbo has suffered oil starvation for it to fail like that along with the foreign object that went through it, I would make sure you check the oil feed line, how was the oil pressure when you started the engine back when you first fired it up? Great to see you getting the A frame built like I suggested ages ago when you were struggling with lifting stuff. Great work as always, keep at it.

[@TwinStix]

I please to aim 😂

[@N1RKW]

Another great episode, Mark! If I had to guess, I'd say that the oil in the intake was coming from the pooched turbo seals. If a replacement hydraulic cylinder is too expensive, there are companies that rebuild cylinders like that. There might even be a hydraulic shop in your area.

Yep .. go to menards and some Walmarts have them to .. get the mini torch with map and oxygen tank.. I've used them to cut bolts like that out before.. believe it or not they work just as good as the big torch.. just smaller bottles map gas but get extra oxygen.. ya tend to go through about 3 to one of map.

[@chevspyder85]

Usually oil in the crossover tube means the seals in the turbo are going bad. Most likely have a Run-away if not fixed and seals in the turbo blow out.

[@darrenbridge7159]

Happy to see the cab over getting some love. I have an Australian '85 version with very similar paint job. It's interesting to me to see the similarities and differences, eg mine has two cab mounts, one on each side and the stacks rise with the cab from a sort of bell shaped flange thingy ( sorry I don't know the correct term). Anyway love your work. Oh, we call Daytons spider rims. I still run them and think they look cool with chromed rims and cap with maroon 'spokes" to match the frame and cab.

[@SpiritxBalto2002]

Cabovers are the best

[@kristopherkolinek309]

Oil on the intake side is because the turbo seals are gone and when you started it the oil pressure built up and passed the seals to the intake.
