I"m watching this with geat interest, I specialize in rebuilding two stroke Detroits especially the 8V-92m Green or silver. These guys are doing it right. It's good to see old tiimers working on things the right way!

I work on trucks for a living. I've had customers drag these old relics in the shop i work at to ressurect them. Most days I think they should have just left them in the junkyard they found them in. When you tear an engine down and find some wierd mix of parts a junk yard used just to get them running and " Saleable" you cuss the guy that did it.

Coolant in the oil was evident on the dip stick when first checking the oil. Many people can set up an engine, but only a few have the touch to make it run really well. With the newer engines it doesn’t make much difference. Nice to see it run although it needs some serious fixing.

[@sgtyork9330]

When I was young n dumb I had to rebuild a 4L53T Detroit in a C-60 Chevy straight truck. It ran when I finished. Just had a struggle getting it tuned right. That engine had gas dumped into the tank and it hammered the wrist pin bearings out of the rods. Had nearly no oil pressure when I tore it down. Replaced everything.

Good video! Some guy with a bus probably decided he wanted the jakes off it so just took everything including the tall valve covers and left it like that.

[@waynepollard6879]

Talk valve covers ?

[@J.R.in_WV]

@@waynepollard6879 tall valve covers. Typo. Detroit sold taller valve covers to clear the Jake housings, both stamped steel and the later Aluminum valve covers were available in a taller version for engines with jakes. Jacobs also sold a “spacer” for the stamped steel covers that allowed you to run the original low height steel valve covers but those things SUCK…instead of 1 surface you now have two…one between the cover and spacer and one between the spacer and head. And any place they can leak they eventually will. You also need longer fuel jumper lines to clear the jake housings.
