John Deere 6090 9.0L engine rebuild in 850J part 2

This is the the second video of a 2 part series so be sure to check the first one out of the engine removal and tear down. This was a 900 hour engine that got dusted due to no outer or filter and loose intake hose. Be sure to stay tuned because we have some big plans with this machine with another popular KZbinr in southern Indiana.

Excellent Video ... have to say that I appreciate your CLEAN workshop ... in my 50 years of industry experience I have found that the neatness of a workplace relates to the quality and accuracy of the work that gets output ... your place is OUTSTANDING !!

Thanks

How accurate. I've seen one on FB whose shop is a total crap-hole. Of course, he will never change, so I decided to leave him entirely to his own vortex.

DP he recommended his audience to come over and watch that’s why I’m here great videos part one& two. Keep up the great work glad you guys worked out the differences awesome job by both parties Ps Worth subscribing to. 👍

[@jerrywallen8327]

Love the clean assembly environment and the attention to detail. If I needed work done I know exactly where I’d go!

[@joecorrie1]

Yea nice shop environment for rebuilding an engine but I’m not seeing any assembly lube being used there’s no way you want to start that thing dry? Those crank bearing should have all been coated with assembly lube.

[@lt1nut]

@@joecorrie1 They were coated with oil and started within a couple of days so the long-term protection and stickiness of assembly lube isn't required. It wouldn't hurt to use asslube but I certainly wouldn't stop screwing it together if I didn't have any. There's some stuff I'd do different if I had the time and money but their work looks to be plenty up-to-par; I'd have no problem running it out the door and standing behind it if it were my shop (my come-back rate/ratio was well into "less" range, beyond the ideal balance rate(s).

[@timbriske5960]

Torque to yield requires a special lubricant to be installed on threads and the head of the bolts to properly stretch each bolt which wasn't done. Rolling them bearings in sure did remove material from the back of bearings. Hope it didn't get into oil galleys. Goodluck with that build.

[@davidbillings615]

I really do hope that you and Dirt Perfect “Mike” can finish clearing the air. I know your both trying. I’m pretty sure you are both ready to see this behind you. It is crazy how social media can keep feeding the beast of misunderstanding until it chokes both parties. Anything good that might come from it is buried so far underneath a pile of crap that it get lost. Good luck and I’ll continue watching both channels 👍🤙

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks We have some videos to come of both of us together!

[@lt1nut]

This is the only social media that I follow so I'm positive that I didn't see the worst of it, anD have no intentions of looking forward to it. I don't know anyone involved, have zero bias, anD usually pickup on what isn't being said anD how things are said. I see no reason for me to not believe that each understands where the other was coming from anD that they probably have more respect for each other, anD a better working relationship, than before all of the blowhards spouted off with some need to soil someone else's laundry before running it up the town flagpole and hanging the rest in the church's front lawn. yes, the current fad of leaving the "d" out of "and" is a pet-peeve

Hey There, C&C Guys, I Hope This Finds You All Well? 🙏 We like to talk about Government Waste, and this is a prime example! As far as hours go, this is basically a new machine, but it's been junked out, due to negligence, and abuse, both of which are totally uncalled for!

I really like what you're doing! I found out about your channel watching DP. He seems like a pretty str8 guy! I never thought that you or your company intentionally tried to get something over on anyone! There's WAY TOO MUCH at stake these days! With social media and crazy fuck nutts people (and it's gettin worse every day) thinking the world owes them something and those people can have a negative impact on your business. I love the way you are looking for content people want to see. Any chance you get BIG iron moving dirt or houses with BIG HP, show it off! The bigger the machine, the more people want to watch it. I hope you hang in there! It's not easy but what your business does is unique! All kinds of machinery, especially the military stuff, people don't get to see that. You have a extremely nice shop, lots of inventory and that didn't happen by accident! Thanks! Chris Thomas

[@anthonywilson4873]

Nothing like the feeling of firing up a nice running engine. Then the follow up any leaks, oil coolant, what’s she like when warm then first test then break in. Phew done good. Got to check everything if it can catch ya it will. Love the challenge good job.

[@terryrogers1025]

I for one would like to this operation completely thru start to finish. There is nothing boring about any of this. People need to see this to understand the labor expense involved in the process. Even if it takes 6 videos.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks for the info, and yes it takes allot of time to do this

[@nknatewood8226]

C&C Equipment +: Another excellent & well-made video. _Reasonably complete_ explanation of rebuild procedures for the 6090 diesel engine. Surprised to see that you had to refer to the factory books for torque sequencing of the head bolts! Would'a thought you'd have those *_mesmerized_* by now, given all the diesel engines of this type that have run thru your shop, but guess that's asking a bit much?!? It did start right up, tho'. So, despite the oily fingerprints in the factory book, would appear you know what you're doing! 👏👏👏 Once again, this video's quality earns it the _YT_ 'thumbs-up' "reward!" Who knew!?!

[@kwshilts]

I started watching when DP had some issues. You stood by him and made it right. I am now a sub. to your channel. I am hooked pole, line, and sinker. Your videos are great. Not a mechanic or operator. I drove an old Ford tractor for about 500 yards. What a ride! I have liked tractors since that time.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Cool

[@BobOBob]

I'd suggest the small investment in a gantry crane. Save hours on the forklift, but also make it possible to do jobs safely with fewer hands. Get the largest+tallest that fits into your shop, even if you have to assemble it inside. But it probably only needs winch capacity to lift an engine, or an accessory, not a vehicle.

[@janlesinski4719]

Great video for any new buyer no questions about condition.

[@donbullock8790]

I'll tell you a hack I learned a long time ago. Take 1 of your old head bolts cut the head off and grind a screwdriver slot where the head was. Use this as guide bolts for the head. I learned that while doing a in frame on a 671 Detroit. They used rubber O rings and steel rings for the head gasket. Great video.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Yes that is and I have done that before especially on heads with no lone up dowels I been into those old 2 stroke Detroit’s a few times also Such a simple generic engine

[@av8tore71]

Hey I was a JAG lawyer in the Army we do some pretty amazing things! Line or regular units are not qualified to tear down engines like this, they usually go to 3rd shop where more qualified people work on them. Someone just didn't know better this and didn't PMCS (PRE MAINTENANCE CHECKS AND SERVICES) correctly and this happened. So low ranking individual

[@markalexander5124]

You are not only a good teacher, you are sharp: this rebuild is an advertisment for your Dozer... the future customer has seen the quality of work and has a record of it too. Good thinking!

[@cwgreen1938]

I bet you are going to Dirt Perfect's place. Mike is a great guy, he treats everybody like he would like to be treated. I think he would loose a million dollars on a deal before he would lie to them. A good family man also. Looks like you'll did a great and professional job on the 850J. I was in the US Army motor pool for a while, they don't take care of anything like a business man or an individual would because it belongs to Uncle Sam and no one is held responsible for tearing up anything. Tell Mike that I said hello from Bangs, Texas.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks

[@suzylarry1]

This video 1 + 2 were great to see , as the engine had serious issues that you showed us. The tear down was good as it showed what to be looking for . Then when it was examined after the suspected parts were show & explained (piston ring cap) high gloss cylinders sleeves we ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACKS get to see what it was and what it takes to fix. Only thing missing was approx. $$$ to do this deep of a rebuild. Thanks

[@anthonywilson4873]

Using some shouldered bolts with the heads cut off gives you some location for gaskets and guides for assembling components. You can taper the heads and cut a cross slot for removal with a screw driver. One you’ve made a few and used them you wonder why you had not done it years ago.

[@henrydorsetcase]

I have no idea on diesel engines (or any engines really) but I was fascinated by the wet liner that comes with the piston assembled to it. I had no idea that was a thing.

[@keithwallington4966]

we got an engine from ex army van they gave it to the boy s to reman in putting the bearings in they got mixed up on the ends& mains i did not get the bolts out off that one i did get half the money back and a free engine for parts keep up the good work 🤟👌

[@tanyaknight8197]

We knew an 18 year old that went in the army and couldn't seem to do anything right even though he was a fun person to be around. Finally sent him to be a tank mechanic which really angered the mechanics. He ended up passing out tools in the tool room. Most of those Army mechanics are top notch but they do get some people they don't really want on occasion.

[@anthonywilson4873]

Injectors sitting in there takes chance of head being laid flat and injector tips smashed or damaged during assembly. Expensive!

Great informative video. Cant wait to see that dozer move so dirt.

[@larrystoodley7193]

If you don't mind a critique of your engine repair they make an installation lube for end caps and main bearing that last longer on startup. I always use it. I also put a thin layer of grease to hold the oil pan gasket in place on installation of the pan those gaskets can be a royal pain in the you know where. Other than that fine job. You checked all the other boxes. It's been a while sense I worked on army Green. I was a wheel and track mechanic for almost 6 years. Kind of miss doing it

I remember back years ago car dealerships would tell you to break the engine in before running at highway speeds. Hardly hear of it today.

[@danielpullum1907]

Fantastic closeups and sequence!!! I did notice you have what appear to be Perry suspenders. The founder of those is a native of Decatur. The dad and son are quite the inventors. I don't remember what else they have invented, mfg'd, and patented! The closeups on installing the valves really emphasized how well you were working together. I don't know about CAT's engine assembly (at Mossville, IL and Lafayette, IN) but in Decatur (trucks, tractor/scrapers, and some of the rubber tired loaders) all bolts are to be assembled dry to get the proper torque. "Lubing with anything will allow over-torque. CAT uses only their specification grade 8 bolts that are above standard grade 8 or so we always said. I would strongly recommend you guys use some ear protection. That very nice "tin drum" you are working in really amplifies the tool and engine noises!!!

[@kevinmurray7135]

Howdy I’m just wondering around your channel this one was a excellent learning experience it showed me about sand what it did to the pistons and the oil rings but it didn’t ruin the whole engine and the one piston ring was suppose to only be 15th and you commented it was about 200th and just the inter air cleaner not being there if that was the case sand and dust just about ruined a good machine but you do know your stuff it’s going to be a very good machine after you are done with it 👍😎🇺🇸NY

[@mc2000Gmc]

Great show. Can you do a video of the cleanup and painting a dozer? Thanks love all the good info

[@roceye]

If you have old head bolts you can make long alignment studs out of them. Cut the heads off, then cut a screwdriver slot in the top and use a straight screwdriver to run them out after the head is set on.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

For sure Done that before especially if there is no alignment dowels

[@patriot1182]

Class act! Great job!

[@anthonywilson4873]

Pistons and liners are graded and come together do not mix them. This caters for production tolerances, a slightly larger piston will go in a slightly loser bore. Mix at your peril.

[@wrstew1272]

What a pushing race that was. Newer paint has the advantage!😊

[@joejohnson7097]

Sounds good. I noticed when you put the head back on you didn't check cylinder liner protrusion. I know on all the diesel engines l have built many year like Cummins and Detroit you had to check cylinder liner protrusion so the head gasket would seal it would be in 100 thousands like.003 .005 thanks for the video

Might be good to clarify that it is Dawn dish soap so that it doesn't sound like "Don's soap".

[@timbriske5960]

Torque to yield requires a special lubricant to be applied to threads and the head of bolts to be properly torqued. I did notice the material being removed from the backside of the main bearings as you rolled them in, hopefully that material didn't get into oil galleys. Goodluck with that build

[@dennisholst4322]

What's the name of the special lube

[@kenore4003]

Detroit Diesel requires a special lube but not every manufacturer does things the same.

[@billhartsfield424]

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

[@anthonywilson4873]

Head bolts should be drip dry lubed but drip dry, if oil pools at the bottom of the thread and an air gun is used you have a hydraulic chamber and the pressure could crack castings. I always wound a bolt to the bottom of the threads with a speed brace (by hand) to make sure threads where clear and all fluids water and oil are gone. Air line nozzle previously used across the top of the hole with rag to get rid of fluids in the thread holes. Shit happens.

[@anthonywilson4873]

Turbo oil feed pipes can get carbonised oil in them restricting oil feed to turbo causing turbo failure of new turbo. Unless you are sure new pipes should be installed.
