ISX Cummins cm871 cylinder head installation

[@rickbrandt9559]

I come here to listen, Warren expresses a lot of under lying feel of what makes this country great.

[@NDC0065]

That's what I like about your channel you tell it how it is and speak your mind.

[@davidfleishman2275]

Great comment on "made in USA","made in China".

[@rdecoster1]

It's Great to watch you fix stuff!! Normal people see parts everywhere and the engine tore down and think it will never run again. Just keep watching!!! My favorite part is when you start engines that you did an overhaul on and they fire right up!! The grader sounded just tight and healthy!! That's the moment that all your work shines the brightest!! Apex makes the highest quality impact tools. How much for the socket for the head bolts??? About $75.00?? Worth every penny!!

[@nomad7412]

The master mechanical engineer. Thank you to the guy that gave Warren that tool. Thank you Warren for all that you teach and do. Knowledge is priceless but you give it for free.

[@6582rg]

Em working on that big equipment is a whole different world than what folks see at their local auto/truck dealership. Quite an investment in expensive, massive tools.

[@markreetz1001]

Great video Warren. Sure learned a lot--I'll bet Trent is learning a lot too! I liked what you said about the people who always have out do you on temps! "Always have to pull their pecker out to out-do you!" 2 degrees is cold--no matter where you're from, especially if you're working in it! Keep up the the great work!!

[@PoliticalGangster]

1941 Siberian Troop defending Moscow laughs at you.

[@davidcraven277]

Warren from what I see you have more pride in you work than anybody I know like they say chrome don't get you home

[@NebukedNezzer]

you are a very strong man with all the work you do. I grew up on the farm in Minnesota and went in the navy in 1964. in basic training we did some strength comparisons and the only guy who was stronger than me was a cowboy from Montana. people who work hard do not need a gym. you are amazing with the professional way you do things. Happy New Year!

[@dazzleyd]

Happy new year Warren! i loved your comment about people piping up with how much colder it is where they live! brilliant!!

[@jessicabrown3124]

I'm so amazed how you can remember to put things back together with the way the garage is so full. Bill.

[@rongrose3746]

Wishing you all a happy , healthy, prosperous New Year!!

[@jamesh7554]

Just a tip for the future. When torqueing the valve rockers, always make sure the shaft is sitting on the head with all the levers loose and all of the bolts loose. Start tightening the front rocker shaft bolt first(the one with the flat spot on the shaft). This will set the Jake lever running clearance. I have never had to mess with Jake running clearance if I followed that procedure.

[@stephenwhite8642]

Hi you are a good teacher explaining everything you do . They should bring apprentice screens back . You’ll be so good at teaching on the engines and other equipment . I’m dyslexic read and writing put head on . Buy watching you for understanding what are you what you do I can pick it up. . This why you’re really really good at explaining everything . .. in this world we’re all good at something not in others things . Thank you for doing this KZbin channel .

[@larrylister5194]

Warren .... cold weather is cold, no matter where you are, My experience with extreme cold was "operation deep freeze" with VX-6 while I was in the Navy. I was an Aviation Machinist Mate, and worked on, and flew as crew, on helicopters. At the time, we had the old Sikorsky H=34's (S-58) with the 9 cylinder radial engine mounted in the nose. Normally, the machine wasn't a problem to work on..... however.... a cylinder change at 25 below zero, could get interesting. We developed a system real quick.... a parachute to drape over the work area, and a Herman-nelson pre-heater outside the parachute to duct warm air in. At 25 below outside, 75 above inside with your parka and shirt off, was decent to work in. The duty was probably the highlight of my20 year Navy career. I eventually made 7 trips to the Antarctic, with the Navy over 2 different tours of duty. I loved it.

[@thomasbailey8306]

Your a Hell of a Mechanic Sir...Great job on the Cummins. I worked for a truckin Company for 10 years and I gave it up because I was going to have to go back to School to learn the New engines and all the Computer and DEF System JUNK...And I went back to my First Love which is Operating Heavy Equipment...Ive been away from it for almost 20 years and I still have Truck drivers from the Company wanting me back... Im torn between what to do. I watch you and you make it look easy. But I know its Not even close too Easy....Great Job Sir. Great Video. I cant wait to hear that Girl Fire back up...

[@Xkekeskfndsmw]

I love these videos. Keep them coming! You and your shop reminds me of the old IH mechanics I grew up watching as a kid. The wide swath of equipment you work on impresses me. There aren’t too many independent mechanics as well-rounded as yourself out there.

[@henryhurricane]

Another informative video Warren.Thank you.Happy New Year.

[@mfc4591]

Have a great Week Warren. Thanks for another good video

[@cbforme]

Agree with you when your cold your cold. And for the painting stuff doesn’t make a difference on how good of a mechanic you are.i have never seen a good paint job get home. You are a very good mechanic don’t let the keyboard warriors tell you any different

[@Erik-qx8is]

I love the raw footage! Watching a man like this work makes me wanna spin some wrenches!

[@JOMaMa..]

On the hemi You could do a cam crank correlation with your oscilloscope and print the results..save you some time 👍

[@eddrescher8088]

Warren you absolutely amaze me and everything that you work on there is an anybody out there that does everything like you today the world is filled with specialist they only do one thing you can do it all take time with somebody that you are training because if I was 30 some years younger I’d get my arms and legs to come out there and learn from you for nothing today everybody’s out for the big buck they want right away you took a lot of years of work and past experience there is an a school around they can teach everything that you know and send a guy right out of there it’ll be right up with your knowledge take time I know I taught apprenticeship school for 13 years and still today I have a bunch of those guys who appreciate the time I took with them and teach them on how to do their job in the field God bless and I hope everything goes well for you glad you got your forklift it was you could really use it you don’t want to screw your back up I did years ago and I’m still trying to recoup from that to back operations with eight anchors three jacks and two rods God bless my brother I love listening to you just have patience you’ll get there you’re doing fine nobody’s putting you on it with a stopwatch I think your channel is great and I’ll watch it all the time you amaze me sincerely Ed

[@stanw6816]

Thank you for moving the camera closer in the beginning of the video. I also hope you appreciate all the grunting and straining I do watching you tightening those head bolts!

[@charlesmccormick4443]

Good procedure on lubing the head bolts , many people dont understand how important it is that the bolt threads and bolt hole threads are clean and turn freely by hand all the way up on anything being torqued , hard turning bolts will not torque correctly . When I clean aluminum bolt holes , I file a V in the side of a bolt and use it to clean the bolt hole threads instead of a tap first , then try a cleaned bolt in the hole , a tap many times removes a little aluminum , on something that is serviced ever so often that can be important , unless you like buying parts because of stripped out bolt holes ....

[@mikethemedic4141]

Once again just want to say.. I appreciate your time and knowledge. As always thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@tractorfixrable]

I pulled the trigger on Texa. I got the Off highway with the Ag only. Most of my work is Ag. Your content made my mind up.

Hell yeah Warren, keep up the great work Bud. It was 7 degrees this morning. When I started my ol' 7.3 we're into winter my man.

[@henrymichaelwilson8107]

Hello Warren. Happy New year. We use a open mast forklift for lifting engines and the like. The only thing is it takes two people and a lot of shouting over the noise of the forklift engine. Sometimes we use the chain blocks. We are in temperey premises at the moment. We are waiting for the go ahead of our new building. So we will have a electronic over head crain so it will be a lot better and not having to shout.

[@todd0474]

As far as I'm concerned, cold is cold. I was stationed in Okinawa in the early 90's. It got to 61 degrees, the Okinawan people were bundled up like it was 10 degrees out. I hate being cold.

[@raycollington4310]

Great video Warren, lot's of good information given to us. We're reminded again how vast your knowledge and experience is of different kit. As a dinosaur retired vehicle engineer, I still fail to see the benefit of overcomplicated overhead camshaft diesels unless modern injection pressures preclude old style block mounted cams. Someone will no doubt tell me these are the comments of an idiot. Cheers from across the pond.

[@trschwab1533]

can you share what that head job cost now on a ISX cummins?You saved me a lot of money by posting a video on youtube about the oil leaking out of the input shaft on a JD8410t that told how the rubber damper shrinks and lets the o ring on the trans breather not to seal!!The tractor is on my farm in Ukraine and I watched your video and added some o rings and the leak stopped!!The jd mechanic there said I needed a rebuild on the transmission but it was shifting fine.You are the best source of information about the real world of fixing things.Keep up the great content and thank you so much for great info

Happy New Year!!!! Colds cold, in my opinion. Great to see you at it so early in the year 😄. Looks like you and Trent are going to have a nice busy year!!

[@calebperry4054]

Thats odd! I just experienced same thing with my hemi last month. Had three cylinders showing misfires. Tried everything. My mechanic found out that one of the valve springs broke and caused the piston to smack a valve. Oddly enough that one valve spring/bent valve caaused three cylinders to misfire. And he said that it never skipped time. A new valve spring and valve and its running like new again.

[@turboslag]

My ocd wouldn't allow me to fit that head without painting it first! Happy & prosperous new year to Warren and everybody.

[@dieselhatz4247]

I recently moved my shop to the high desert of Southern California and I knew that it got colder here compared to where I was previously located by about 10 to 15 degrees and I was not prepared for the difference. It is currently 28 degrees inside my shop and the water in my plasma table is frozen currently, I never even thought about it freezing before and it is not going to hurt anything since it is wide open. I am even having issues with parts with tight tolerances not wanting to fit correctly. I am currently finishing up a high performance 4L85E and just working with the cold parts sucks. The only heater I have in my shop is my aqueous parts washer, it has a 8000 watt heating element and when I am washing for a few straight hours it actually warms the shop up but I am having 15 gallons of water evaporate per day. I really need to look into getting a waste oil heater since I usually have 150 gallons of waste transmission fluid per month. I haven't checked into the legality or code requirements for a waste oil heater installation.

[@BobSmith-iu3hx]

It could be worse, you could be here in Canada.

[@JOMaMa..]

I lined the outside of my parts washer tank with insulation and removed my turntable then I made a cutout of the inner tank in which I made an insulation blanket for…the amount of heat retention and electrical watts hour was night and day.

[@cowdudy]

What part of the high desert? I used to live in Phelan, near Hesperia and Victorville. That used to be a decent place to live if you had to live in California. I’m sure it don’t look the same as when I lived there in ‘88.

[@Mercmad]

Theres a guy in Ireland here on YT who builds some very effective oil burners. What the thought police don't know wont hurt them. Besides,burning old oil is better than consigning to land fill.

[@mikeshultz1007]

@@Mercmad A couple of years ago I was getting paid 50-75 cent a gallon to have my waste oil hauled away and now I am paying to have it hauled away. There was some government program paying good money to bio diesel manufacturers not to mention carbon credits they would sell. I had people beating my door down for any waste oil I had by numerous companies and the moment those credits expired everything changed

[@robbob601]

That's cold. Starting diesels sucks this time of year. Any advise? Old small ford tractors. Only thing I found that helps is propane torch laying under it for 15 -20 minutes... Hate using "date in can", motor bangs like hell if I do.

I was prying on some parts on a trash truck years ago and got surprised when things slipped. I hit myself in the middle of the forehead with my middle knuckle. Didn't think too much happened other than the surprise of it all. That is until a moment later when this big blob of sweat and blood splashed on my glasses. Turns out my knuckle split my forehead wide open. Took a couple of minutes to stop the bleeding. No big deal until after I got home. I was sitting in my recliner when my wife got home. She noticed the mark on my forehead from across the room. She says "what happened" I calmly replied, "bullet hole" to which she about fainted. I relayed a play-by-play of the workday after which she calmed down. The irony of the story was we had prepared to weld in some wear patch panels in the truck. As we cleaned out debris from the worn area we find some live ammo. Not exactly what you want to find lodged in wear gaps on a trash truck. That was how the bullet hole joke reply came into existence. So I can relate to getting hit while working on something.

Question, did that engine have a scissor gear for the lower idler gear? I noticed that you did not put a feeler blade between the adjustable idler and the lower idler gears.

[@dondiego2262]

Man I hope you have an "I worked on it first , can you fix it" pricing structure. Been there , done that and I DO NOT envy you having that job to have to contend with. Part of the requirements for new hire engineers for car truck etc. , should be to have to spend time working on someone elses creations so they can see what NOT to do. Oh and in case you don't know some makers say to not oil some bolts like head bolts. It is a torque thing.

[@jonathanhageman150]

I m curious while torquing down new head bolts has one ever snapped off
