Petey Has Cancer

[@terrydepew1252]

Good video work Jeff. Brings back my ownen n operatin days. My Pops, Bro, and myself ran N model small cam then big cam Cummins from the 70's into the 90's. Larry Fyke out of LA did most of our performance work then. He retired out of Cummins rebuild in Montebello Ca. and opened his own shop. Took me in like an uncle and taught me quite a bit hands on about our Cummins in them days. Larry tuned Bob Wilsons KW "Ironsides" every year before it went to Yancey Bros Caterpillar dyno drags in San Diego. He could make them run but last as well. My last BCIII 400 was a 1985 cpl 0614 engine that ran over a million miles by 96. I have a buddy that had an N14 in an over the road Pete that ran 1,250000 miles without rebuild. Them N14's like yours were the peak of development for N model engines prior to the Signature ISX stuff. One thing among many Larry always did with a set of heads was replace all the valves. Intake and exhaust both got new stellite exhaust valves. Guides and seats were done as well. Be a shame to see you go through that ole girl and then have it swallow a valve. You already know to watch out for chinese parts.

[@oldpete3153]

Myself being involved some years ago with engine make swap outs found the cost to be prohibited. I dont think most people realize how costly that option is. First up the cost and condition of the replacement, then onto the modifications for mounting...hook-up...posible alterations to the cooling system and the list goes on. The three that I was part of were very costly and time consuming. My old trucking friends had N-14's that matched my 550 Cats mile for mile, they also followed the same service routine as i did with my Cats. You are very astute with all things mechanical and fussy with servicing Jeff...watching you operate is very gratifying.

[@chuckh.2227]

I'll keep Petey in my thoughts and prayers

[@camshaftP16]

Seeing you struggle with the hoist makes me feel lucky to have a 10 ton one at work. Done hundreds of engines over the years. If up-grading the trans, go to an 18 speed, only way to go. Keep up the good work, we know Jeff wins.

[@alandawson2813]

Very cool Jeff. Looking forward to the next instalment and seeing what shenanigans you have been up to. Happy days from kiwi land.

[@supremetacoholdthesourcrea5968]

Appreciate the law & order references.

[@mecamine24z]

I would have removed the hood out of shear necessity

[@ramjet7470]

Absolutely! But 'ya gotta remember, Jeffy and the monkey and the football. You just can't have one without the other. Jeff's a hoot and the nice thing about it? He has no memory of me whatsoever and that's probably a good thing! Remembering the 1980's at this stage of the game is damn near impossible. The years just seem to stack up on top of each other. Lol...

[@nwscrew63]

You guys are having way to much fun!! All the details are great to see! I need smell-O-vision!

[@derrickpettit86]

Freakin love ur rebuild videos Jeff, commentary is on point, show a lot, gonna be a good series on this, thanks for sharing an I look forward to seeing the next video 🇺🇲🤙💪✊👍🇺🇲

[@charleswelch249]

You definitely found out what happened causing the oil pressure issues. I'm glad you are rebuilding the engine, and hopefully, you find injectors for your engine soon.

[@tomminer9675]

Hi Jeff You did well, 2 years of use with a wore out engine and trannny. Old come-a-parts and GMC : jimmies are tough and don't know when to quit. I had both engines in log trucks here in VT that ran far longer than they should have. I liked them because I could start them when it was -30 degrees. Good video. I remember the first videos of Petey.

[@tomcander3669]

It doesn't run every day!!😂

[@sterff89]

Poor Petey, he’s in good hands. Good video Jeff!

[@northern1937]

Jeff does it nice cuz he does it twice.

[@ramjet7470]

Hey, take it easy on the boy can't you see he's struggling? Do you not feel his pain? Have a heart man! LOL Good thing utoob came along. Might keep that boy out of trouble!

[@BWP202]

Hey Jeff as a long time engine mechanic When you have to order new cam follower gaskets you have to order them as per each item part number that is on the gasket and not by combined thickness Or you may have to reset the base timing and that is a pain in the rear

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

the ecm controls injector timing on the n14 all the gaskets are .032

[@cliffyb5896]

There's your problem Jeff, right on the side of the block. You're going to have to call Brazil to get those injectors😁

[@tkhaskett09]

You’ll have that ol sweetie runnin like a Swiss watch after this winter, thanks for sharing Jeff stay safe.

[@dougwilson9636]

Thats a really straight and clean looking old Peterbilt. Well worth putting some money into her to make things right. Especially given the price of new trucks ( not to mention all the emissions crap) these days. Looking forward to watching her go back together.

[@BigJfan]

Couldn't help but notice that the engine mount bushings were shot. I switched my Peterbilt to the high performance poly bushings. They last way longer. I haven't noticed it being any rougher. It took a while to find the cause of the vibration when the rubber ones went bad at only one year old.

[@badmonkey3669]

carbon can be because of lack of detergent as you said but also oil temp being to cold

[@donrandall2030]

wonderful video !!! Looking forward to the rest of the project

[@RobertMartinson-i8h]

I am a terrible person. I always forget to like Mr Griffie!!! Thank you Jeff!!!

[@gregwhite7957]

I go to open your video and a cancer treatment commercial plays before yours does😂. How ironic. Poor Petey. Jeff will win in the end and Petey will be on the road again. Take care and stay safe.

[@Bigpower802]

“Are you gunna cry?” 😂🤣

[@lukemeisenbach1964]

When you get a can of worms it always takes a bigger can to put em back in.

[@airbats801]

Thanks for the great video as always J eff

[@MikeCholewiakTriValleyFreight]

Doing it twice making it nice.

[@kellykonoske91]

At what point did you start looking for a freshened up Cat motor instead? HaHa!

[@garyharrington5300]

The speedy sleeve is a cummins thing ,has been as far as I know, the seal.is Teflon, no spring and works well ,it might be indestructible but there is no dirt lip

[@gregolson1824]

3406 c15 have two piece main seals, nice that way so you don't need to worry about having to speedy sleeve the crank at any point.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

That ol' girl is well worn. At least when you rebuild it, you absolutely know what you have. In frames have a habit of not getting everything they really need like tanking the block to clean all the oil passages. Sadly, all the tight spot work you did was for naught when you pulled it to do a complete out of frame Overhaul. But it'll be right. Snap On used to sell an Air Powered Gasket Scraper for those tough gaskets. Rrrrrr

[@fastst1]

I love Mr Griffy's running commentary messages.

[@6394robbie]

Jeff's magic hands will make it better than new!!

[@robdixon945]

Thanks for the show guys 🇺🇲 🍻

[@Dave_9547]

Ole Petey is a nice truck and you will be much happier with a full rebuild on the motor and with the close ratio trans. I know it's hard to make that decision, but it kept getting worse at every step of the process.

[@michaeltrinkle4197]

Thank You Sir for the video.saw someone use a small torch on the difficult gaskets.heat em up abit so it liquifies the glue.would rather petey was good to go and didn't need major surgery. It will be done right when you get him back together. The vacuum part well i won't risk trash in any engine going in or out.never.

[@chenderson4969]

We used to lift those cylinder heads with I think they were 3/8 long bolts with T Handles welded to them.

[@michaeltrinkle4197]

Had a second thought.some engine builders are finding issues with rebuilds using seperate manufacturers. Sizing clearance just abit odd things that fit abit loose or abit tight.

[@rickcoleman8903]

Like opening a can of worms.

[@ncut5547]

Looks like a lot of idele time slobbering a bit of oil in the cylinder and not running hot enough to keep the oil under control maybe plus as you say u never know how vigilant anyone was at keeping on top of the oil changes etc but 1 things for sure by the time you are done it will be treated as it should be with luv n care lol lol O ya don't forget u need to drive it like u stole with a good load plus the trailer then it be run in for the rest of time lol lol keep up the good work awesome job thks

[@nightstorm9128]

Lack of oil changes and cheap oil from the previous owner has caused the oil ring to seize solid ,,I would say by the time you bought the truck,,The damage was already done,,

[@matta3888]

Thank you for the show. Jeff take engine out and rebuild.

[@tomcander3669]

The dremel part was just silly...come on Jeff!

[@jdrogers8720]

I work on I H farm tractors , yupthey must use the same gskt.The gskt 's used between the rear end and transmissions they stick so well ya can almost pull all the bolts out then go drive the tractor plowing and it would stay together and tryen to scrap them off it's a major fight . We grind them off .

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Jeff little by little Petey engine been screaming pull me out and fix me Jeff's way. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Jeff.

[@mfc4591]

Thanks for the video. Realilty is being there, not sitting in your rocking chair trashing Jeff. Jeff will win.

[@danmartin9558]

Roller bearings we heat them up in grease in a pot less chance of blueing bearing Hopefully liners are tight in bore or counter bores haven't been cut because you might need different size liners, might have to shim up liners to get protrusion to seal fire ring.

[@richardlincoln8438]

Thank You for the time and effort to share this with us Jeff. My sincere condolences. Best Wishes to everyone at Anderson Construction.

[@youtubeisawesome2487]

lol if only a viewer had told you so. you make my day. your old injectors have the number you need on them, or check your ecm for hp file. air gasket scraper is your friend.

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Are you hot tanking the block?

[@briananderson1781]

Good job of innovating on the puller. Jeff wins! What would we do with out an old lathe and mill......

[@MyHMMWVaddiction]

Gosh, that escalated quickly 🤔

[@rw3dog]

Big job there. Glad you are doing it right. What year was that truck made ? It stinks parts are NLA….

[@Nathan-pw7do]

Used to could use the cpl or code on the pump to order injectors. Parts sure have changed

[@michaeljones34]

Great video Jeff

[@tater_relocater]

Hindsight 20/20 I’m glad you can make this entertaining. Question the man in California you bought this from , was he the original owner?

[@Jpaydirt]

No

[@Charlie-wr6dy]

Extract Cummins junk. Deposit in river. Insert C-15. Add switchblade turbo. Enjoy!

[@garyharrington5300]

Lack of mattinence before jeff

[@lukepothast2253]

My thought on it is after doing a b series cat and a old small cam. The cat is way easier parts wise and availability for parts and simplicity

[@localcrew]

Petey will be healed.

[@mischef18]

Sad that the engine is in that state bro, the updated trans makes good sense. Ken

[@kerrysullivan6294]

During surgery, be sure an use type O blood oil. That a fix all for any transfusion.😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Sorry you had to do all this, but I really enjoyed your editing 😀

[@alanlaub4890]

You will, at the very least, know what you have when you are done. Ready to make money.

[@derrickwilkie5611]

Well Jeff I guess you can't get a new engine kit for a Put E Cat for the same price as the Cummins rebuild kit !! I still think those N 14 are great engines.

[@johnwenzel9252]

Thanks Jeff!

It warmed up here today + 26 F It has been -23 at night here for about 3 days..... They got snow on the beach in Florida!!! hehhehehehehhe.....

Bummer. I vote for new used cover. Is it possible the bearing bore is no longer in line with cam?

Please tell us about the Harley project!

It probably doesn't work enough to justify a switchblade. 10 wheelers are putt putts for the most part anyhow.

[@jacobbuckley8232]

What was made in Brazil? The block?

[@amunderdog]

So why make the same mistake twice? Pull the motor and replace or go thru it carefully.

[@MrDlc1969]

Hey Jeff I think you should pull the Cummins Out ? lol

[@clintonstevens1285]

got lots of n-14 tools? if needed

[@shadowbanned69]

Thats carbon packing from lots of idle time. What chall doing jeff??? Gotta turn up idle to 14 to 18 hundred ripums if your gonna idle it for a while

[@thebegrsshow]

Jeff, did you buy the Kit with Liners & Pistons? If you did, the kit comes with Rods too. At least every one I've gotten has.

Sorry your running into so much trouble and expense , but it does make for an excellent video.

I'm on the verge of retirement after 47 years of machine shop work from the bottom up to engineering. I still get involved with repair and it's getting tough. Just curious if you don't mind a personal question, but how old are you to be doing all this heavy repair and bouncing around for days in your scrapers? I admire your stamina and knowledge.

Jeff, for a smart guy you screwed the pooch with all you did prior to the overhaul decision....it was clear to most everyone what it needed

[@johnfry9010]

Well there's your problem , Made in Brazil , LOL , is anything made in the USA ? They must have added sand to each oil change on that one .

Couldn't you just plug off the lines going to where the air compressor goes and then just air up the truck

Keep up the excellent work brother it looks like somebody made a fib on that engine being rebuilt I think the compression rings are too loose
