I've subscribed to this channel 3 times now, but for some reason yt always unsubscribes me... it's like they don't want me learning anout cats and jakes 😂

I've been having the same problem across the board with multiple channels! I've been thinking I was accidentally unsubscribing or the kids were but I've seen a couple people having similar problems now 🤔

Don’t sell yourself short, you know your shit. From one diesel mechanic to another, I’d be proud to work with ya. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and yours sir. Shame we won’t see a 90’s hair band cover band bus get tortured this year at the holidays, but a Jake rebuild will suffice. Keep er between the mustard and the mayo. Gotta say, Peg will be pissed- there were 0 cans of Cosby in a can used on that old start cold start.

Came from watching a wagon building channel to see an engine brake be rebuilt. Ill never do either, but it is so fascinating.

I absolutely do not know a damn thing about diesel engines. I do thoroughly enjoy watching your videos of rebuilds, and your crazy shenanigans. Love watching you blow up, and destroy old semi working engines. Keep the cool videos coming brother.

[@frank64409]

I know you think working on these engines is boring stuff. I see them as interesting. You have a skill, and I enjoy watching your work.

[@Luv2Trk1]

I always wondered how Jakes worked and watching you tear down and rebuild really helped me to understand how they function. Thanks for the great video.

[@johngoldsmith6629]

A Jacobs brake takes potential energy and expels it out the exhaust. You only need to use them when necessary. As when the exhaust valve opens, it causes the piston rings to relax rapidly. Normally you should not have a problem. In some cases and with a worn piston ring (top). It can snap the ring over time.

[@vwsandvettes3253]

Peanut gallery observation: What a complicated work of art contraption, and this is just one part of the overall engine. I'm amazed at the engineering minds and expert machinists that made these Jake brake parts. Dangggg!

You could have posted this two weeks earlier! I just rebuilt mine, and couldn't find a good video on this anywhere. So i struggled through. Wasnt really that hard, if it comes out one way, the new ones need to go back in that way. But i was alittle unsure of myself going in. Great video.

Loved the video! I had jaks on the 8v71 on the GMC bus we redid (inside and out) for a close friend of mine. I never have had jaks apart. Put power steering and an allison 740 in it to make it a lot more user friendly for my friend. Gave the 8v71 a once over including running the overhead. They used that bus for about 8 years with minimal problems mainly radiator, fan belt, and wheel bearing issues.

A trick with those damn internal snaprings I have found if it doesnt wanna line up right you can get it 3/4 of the way seated and use a flathead to tap it into the groove. Once its in you can verify that its actually seated all the way round by pushing on one of the ears with a flathead - if it spins in the groove without binding you know you are good!
