I’m a Retired Union Boilermaker and we use to make our own gaskets from a roll of material. But then in the late 1990s we started using Red high temperature silicone. On the burner doors. So if a liquid gasket is good for a Power Plant Burner I’m sure it’s good for equipment like that. You did a nice job 👍.

I see some other people picked up on it as well but as soon as he showed the new pulley it was obvious it was a combination harmonic balancer/ pulley. I’m used to dealing with balancers in old mopar engines but I have thankfully not had any issues with my skid steer. I’ll have to look and see if it has the same pulley balancer setup. I suspect so now. Great informative video.

Fair play to you mate. You did it. A bit of sagely advice from an old timer; Your engine overheats aftyer using the machine for half an hour. You have a look inside the engine box to investigate. Which part do you change to fix it? Answer, the right part. It's all about the troubleshooting. Methodical troubleshooting. That is where the experts come into their own. That is how you save big bucks on time and parts. Be methodical and you will get there. Eliminate things until you see the problem. Otherwise you are just firefighting.Keep up the good work.

Just for future reference, if you need a gasket or gasket material especially on something the size of this water pump you can always use a cereal box, just cut out one side and lay it on the pump, use a ball peen hammer or some metal that has a round edge like a decent size box wrench and gently tap the edge to outline the pumps edge and also any inner holes then cut out the gasket, a Lil formagasket on the sides to help it stick and it works great, you can even make 2-3 and double it up.

I had that happen on a ford ranger, well almost. The damper failed, and the pulley, over time, was moving back toward the block. One day, the truck wouldn't start. I started trouble shooting, and one symptom was the ignition timing, and the sensor. So, I replaced the sensor. It would fits, and the old one had a huge groove in it. I finally realized the pulley ground into the sensor until it finally ate the whole magnetic part. I had to weld pull brackets on the pully to get the puller to work, but dang, that was a weird one. Yours is a strange one too. Good work!

It's not supposed to slip, it's just a weakly designed bond between the center hub and the outer pulley of the harmonic balancer. Certain engines over the years were prone to this, in the late 80s some front wheel drive Buick & Jeep 6 cylinders come to mind. They were common enough that parts stores used to stock aftermarket replacements. It can also be an issue in high RPM race motors.

Your harmonic damper is broken, nearly all harmonic dampers have a rubber insert in them. There is a guy in NZ who repairs them by dismantling them and he presses and glues in a special rubber insert. This makes the harmonic damper like new. The bigger they are the more heavy duty rubber they have. Without a harmonic damper doing it's job there is a good chance your crankshaft will break. This is a problem on all vehicles as they get older. All crankshafts have some sort of vibration even from new. The damper or bottom pulley is a vital piece of equipment. They have to be perfectly balanced and the rubber smooths out and absorbs the vibration from the crankshaft. Hope that helps. If your motor is old but in good condition but runs a little rough it might be the harmonic damper. It is very common for this to be overlooked.

Good thing you put your hand on it and noticed the bonded rubber had turned loose, from what the fan blades looked like and the way the engine was moving around at the end when throttled up I would say the fan contact with the shroud caused the belt to basically tear the rubber loose from the balancer. Good catch anyway and the problem is solved, I know this vid is old but I would look into what the mounts look like. Sometimes rubber saturated in oil lets things move way too much and cause an issue like that, anyhow been binge watching your vids and have enjoyed the content. Never knew vids of moving dirt, trees and spreading gravel would replace watching tv lol

The part that you replaced is called a harmonic balancer. It protects the crankshaft from excessive vibrations. They fail on some cars as well. Old 80's and 90's Volvo's are known for this as well. But on those cars you notice it first when the charging system doesn't seem to work. Good repair job.

When you were talking about dropping that pin down in the motor I shuddered and it took me back to high school. I had a Cobra Jet Torino and the engine blew up in it. I pulled it and rebuilt everything and when I was putting it back in I was on top of the motor putting in the distributor. I didn't see it wasn't paying attention or whatever but there was a socket laying there and it rolled in the hole the distributor goes in and I heard it hit the pan! I was sick to my stomach! My friend and I ran magnets down the hole for hours and never got hold of it. Then we debated how much it would move around and maybe leave it in there? After a while I said that's enough! Pulled the motor back out pulled the pan and got the socket! I debated pulling the pan in the car, but it was so tight I knew I would never get it to seal. That car ran like a scalded dog! I sold it in 1984, an all original Cobra Jet Torino for $1500. I sure wish I had that car today!

I hope you ended up replacing the fan, the blades are designed all exactly the same even in weight. The an even wearing on the blades will cause an out of balance rotation creating vibration which could cause additional problems to your really cool fix. When the clutch fan first came out that problem caused folks tons of money trying to figure out why they had a problem with over heating. I was in my early 20's getting my radiator fixed and the old guy working on my vehicle told me that my radiator was fine it was the new F-in clutch fan that I installed he GAVE me a new fan (good old days in America) told me to go home and make it right I never had the problem again.

Yep when you said rubber inside there it took me back to a motorcycle I had a no charge problem on. Alternator had a splined shaft on it that fit into a splined socket on motor. Not real complicated. But it wasn't obvious till studying microfiche and ordering a bushing that resembled a sealed bearing. Instead of the bearings it's rubber sealing the splined inner race part to the outer race essentially giving a cushion as motor spins and transfers rotation to alternator. Problem was the rubber separated from the metal and would spin alt slightly but not enough to charge any load. Motorcycle parts guys and techs had no idea of any of it. Motorcycle alt rebuilder had no idea of any of it, numerous web forums had never seen or heard of it. $13 bushing thing fixed it after months of research. Recently working on a Duramax drivers side motor mount. Frequent issue also. Mount is 2 pieces of steel separated by 1 1/2" of rubber. Motor revs torques driver side lifting or separating the 2 pieces and tearing rubber off steal. Who designs this stuff? Oh that's right it makes it out of warranty so who cares right. So I drilled a 1/2" hole all the way through center and gr 8 bolted to not allow the lifting or separation yet still dampen. Moral of the story rubber used for cushion separates from steal. Replace those parts lol

Then set it on a sheet of thick paper to make a stencil. Cut our the passages and bolt holes not gasket cover. They make hole punch sets. I used to have one. Cut tge other areas out with an Xacto knife. Then set that over a sheet of gasket material you can find online or at NAPA if they still sell it. Trace the outline and trim and punch the areas ya need to. Now you've got that gasket. Still put a thin film of that gasket sealer you used on both sides of the gasket before you install it. I've made hundreds of gaskets over the years. Was cheaper than buying a gasket set when you only need one or two and often cheaper than a large one. Only head or other high pressure gaskets should never be made like that. Those usually have metal in them.

Hi there, at around 6:47 when you take out the radiator, there is a smaller hose at the bottom (around the the centre) that disappears underneath. When reassembling, where does that go. I can't find any reference anywhere including the workshop manual that mentions what it does or where it is supposed to connect.

The Damper pulley's can cause unknown vibrations and need to be replaces on larger diesel engines especially when rebuilding an engine, yours is completely gone which shouldn't happen, my tip is always buy a genuine seal for the crankshaft as the cheap ones fall to pieces then all the oil will be pumped out in a minute, those Hitachi machines are a quality machine and have a reputation of good quality where where i live.

You did a great job. If it were me, I would have replaced that lower crank seal and pressure washed the engine - easier to see leaks that way. But it's also easy to be a YT critic - I'm not doing the work....

I thought the same about pressure washing but read down to see if someone else had already mentioned it. Agreed about leaks or fractures. I'd probably replace some hoses at the same time and date label them. The radiator looked a little dirty..that grey area?? Sometimes things fail out of sympathy..if you get my point. Others can be more easily replaced when half of the area is a part.

Was that just a spacer between the fan & the water pump, or was it a fan clutch? If is was a fan clutch, that could cause the overheating if its bad. The fan looks like it's off balance, which would cause the new clutch to wear prematurely.

I can see a "water line" on the inside of teh water pump outlet. Maybe the system just had air in the system in addition to the clutch problem?

Jesse, if you ever get stuck for a gasket you can buy sheets of generic gasket material in various thicknesses and cut them to shape with a craft knife using the old gasket or the part as a template.

One other 'simple-weird O' problem I have had, the lower hose is often the suction side. In old days manufacturers put a spring inside the hose (to still bendable/flexible YET prevent the hose from collapsing when hot and in suction). Some new style has a hard outer shell to prevent 'pinch/bend collapsing'. Just an PSA on overheating... -One of the cause of failure of a harmonic balancer....is over heating in a major way, will soften the rubber material and fail with a load upon it. So use a puller and don't heat torch to attempt removal.

The pulley with rubber between the two parts is called a HARMONIC BALANCER hence the strange shaped back / front.. hope this helps.

Hey Jes-- Have you ever worked on any CLEAN stuff before. I guess some people get in a big hurry and don't wash and de-grease stuff before they tear it down. It drives me crazy to work on oily, greasy, muddy crap .Sometimes you can find the problem if you can see it. Sorry just saying. I'm gonna get a steam power washer someday. Kepp on keeping on Bra

I used to work as a agricultural mechanic and i never left a cran seal if i had to remove the front crank pully.The reason is after many hours of use the seal wears and the lips start to stiffen. Also i did not see you grease your seal lip before inserting the pully.By leaving the lips dry, when you start up the engine the seal will overheat because it has no more oil or lubricant on its lips . One more thing here if i may, when replacing a gasket with liquide gasket maker make sure you have clearance between the impeller and the face. In some instances the gasket acts as a shim.A fast test is placing the part back on without anything and turning the impeller by hand and se if there is any interference Have a great day

the pulley seal surface had lube on it from the factory, I should've replaced the seal , I was just focused on the overheating and wasn't thinking about the seal until after I started editing my videos, then the first thing that came to mind was " I bet people are going to point that out" and sure enough lol , but I agree about the gasket acting as a shim, however; the waterpump was previously removed because there was only a black silicone on it when I removed it, so I figured it was ok to put it back like that. All good points though, thanks

One more point after thinking about it. I thought i saw engin oil smeared on the front cover of the motor. Engin oil has additives in it and i know that certain rubbers are affected by this oil. Could the damage to the rubber in the damper be caused by the engin oil that could of leaked by the crank seal.

You probably know it by now, but it is quite easy to make your own gaskets, with gasket sheets and a ball peen hammer. Just lay the sheet over the part and gently tap with the balled part of the hammer, along the edges. Just like OEM! 👍 It's a bit easier if you make the holes for a couple of bolts first, then you can put in two bolts that will hold the sheet in place.
