DEBOSS GARAGE as a third year apprentice HET in Alberta I was told to never put the ring gaps where the wrist pins are. Was told to put them on major and minor thrust sides to reduce as much blow by. Can you clarify this ?

[@Tx_P71]

Would motorcycles be included? Asking for a friend 🤣

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Yep

[@michaelthemekhanical]

I do not have a winning vehicle but any addition is a contribution. Note: People have told me what my car can and can not do in the past... My car does things they say it can not do. My car is not at the point where I am making things for it due to cost variables and a lack of consumables and tools to undertake most desired tasks. Also the video I have made I don't believe is that good and I want to make changes by re-shooting and actually sharing some history as well as the actual things I have done with my vehicle. Maybe even take it on the road. I am working on a Recon engine swap to which the new engine should provide more power and be trouble free reliable. As the car currently stands. It's not trouble free but is reliable with issues that will result in a major failure down the line. Also I just upgraded my editing software to which hopefully won't keep crashing and will have stability. I also would like to share some history of my vehicle since I've owned it. I don't know how things will turn out, But I hope my car does have a personality people like. PS: Why is it that some diesel engines while built similar some smell worst and smoke more than others? FYI Pajero 4D56 vs Triton 4D56? Protruding valve vs Recessed Valve heads and piston.

[@robtheknob7791]

I love this opportunity for everyone to express themselves!

[@payne3249]

Dimond T all the way. Honestly this would be a nasty rat rod with that set up

[@jeepanimal2943]

Agreed. The Diamond T.

[@fastinradfordable]

It doesn’t look like this guy builds anything that’s nasty. And not “na$ty”

[@payne3249]

@@fastinradfordable ur right...all we saw of his three vehicles...that totally is enough to make assumptions about his lack in capabilities, right...i have no idea why you're specifying "na$ty" like that...i didnt spell it like that.

Diamond T screams diesel.

[@jeffsmith8347]

Diamond T for sure. I love those things.

[@chrisebert7307]

The diamond T definitely!

[@bulldozer7656]

The diamond T needs a 4BT for sure.. Thanks Rich

[@Sir.VicsMasher]

Been waiting for a new Zip tie and bias ply vid for weeks now. Thanks for the introduction.

[@mykee426]

Waitin on that minty burnout he gonna do after gettin called out

[@Stuart_Johnson_Solutions]

Deffo in the Diamond-T. Much better platform for the Cummins, and pointless to break a working truck. Have a bit of fun with the T

[@fjr2go]

Engine should go Into the Diamond T Truck. . Nice video again. I always like how you tell what you're doing :)

[@mojo68mitch]

Diamond T definitely!!!! The whole thing red and black.

[@jamesmorgan9080]

Sure I recommend that the engine is turned over 360° after each piston is installed to make sure that everything is correct and nothing's bound or there's are no mistakes in the installation

[@jdlawless_fuel1416]

I wanna see a 4BT diamond T!

[@danieltoney2881]

I have done one and will video it this weekend. I’ve never posted on you tube. This is my first time.

[@voltaarllc1755]

Daniel Toney look forward to seeing it 👍🏻😎

[@andyhayes7756]

Diamond T for sure!

[@bgslade1]

Diamond T for sure! I luv the idea of the turbo showing out the side but with a short str8 pipe. I want the GMC!!!

[@danparo892]

Diamond T for sure. Wouldn't be a truck without a Diesel!

[@miltstone2]

Definitely the Diamond T !! That thing will be sick with the 4BT in it.

[@1967Twotone]

The Diamond T is crying out for that Cummins!

[@jonathanbarstow5989]

4BT in the Diamond T!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Diamond T for the 4BT!

[@rorykalka3917]

Diamond T for sure would be a beast with the turbo out the side. Call it the Diamond BT

[@seanangelo1288]

Definitely in that Diamond T.

[@dennisjensen7938]

The Dimond T for sure

[@Cocokingable1]

Diamond T for sure, thatll be a sweet rig

[@1tarbaby1]

Most definitely the DIAMOND T please

[@scottjohnson4711]

Good note to remember when honing the cylinders make sure the rod journal is down. I had a guy (jack ass) working for me and didn't do that and ruined the crank. Needless to say he didn't work for us much longer.

[@stanleyflory6702]

100% Diamond T!

[@timcanizares5240]

4bt in the Diamond T

[@harrypatt7708]

So satisfying, such a strong & well build diesel. Can’t wait to one day swap a 4bt into my “little” Nissan patrol! Push my rig down the road like it’s nothing!

[@celticdude4686]

It goes in the Diamond T !

[@TheOldblue2500]

Diamond T 4bt 👌🏼🔥

[@TheFlyingBusman]

For a two ring piston I generally space the ring gaps 180deg apart, 120deg for 3 rings and so forth. Like the honing tool and the fact you give everything a good clean then lube. Absolutely essential. Care too mating the connecting rod so not to impact the crank journal and mark it. Good all round job.

[@gazzafloss]

Definitely 4BT for the Diamond T.

[@Trebuer22]

I loved seeing how careful you were being with those rods. I use to work for jasper engines and we beat the shit out of the used rods we got in bulk with damage pistons still attached. Some of those wrist pins didn't want to come out. Sledge hammers came in handy.

[@jeffharjessr.9893]

Diamond T is most deserving!!!

[@jayschuon8330]

Diamond T all the way!

[@darthvader4hire]

great vid. it reminded me of how my grandad ( who also went by Rich) used to build engine in his engine shop...which later became mine and my dads....we'd give the assembled piston and rings a dunk in oil and yes the smoked like a freight train for a bit but we never had one fail upon startup.

[@abramfrank4611]

Diamond T needs the 4bt. Damn near color matched.

[@dandaurora3274]

4bt into the Diamond T, definitely!!

[@scott6bartley496]

I love it when you don't wear gloves when spray in the brake cleaner I do the same thing That's what hand cleaners for

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

I thought brake cleaner was hand cleaner....

[@scott6bartley496]

Diamond T!! With no hesitation at all.

[@bcrcguy]

Thanks for the feature Rich! (Previous owner of 4BTT4R) Looks great on that engine. Cheers man!

Nice tutorial on the piston the piston rings and the rod bearing and install @deboss Garage

[@slvr1.618]

4bt in that diamond T for the win!

[@beeroquoisnation]

Great Vidya Gear Head. We can always count on you to keep 'em Cummins. Cheers.

[@kevinmcguinness9994]

I love that Mr. Regular is a judge in this. He’s my fav

[@6-4fab53]

Rich, love the content! You may want to edit your valve lash spec tho. There is a big difference between a thousands and a tenth of a thousands and I know you know it and you said it correctly but made a typo. I know what you meant but some one may not and wonder why they can't find a feeler gauge that will measure 0.0001". Keep up the great work! Looking forward to new content on both channels! I hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy in these uncertain times! Dan @6-4_Fab Glen Rock, PA USA

[@pauliethefixer8617]

Needs to go in the Diamond T for sure.

[@91Grunta]

Red engine for the red truck - go hard!

[@Edgar-Friendly]

4bt into a Diamond T and a 6bt into a Federal!

[@randallmyers]

definitely the diamond T, that would be sweet

[@9856CB]

I love it: “ I like live’n on the edge and make’ nit a pain for the next guy”. I bought some paint (in an alley) that actually adds 7 HP.🤪. Great video as always!

[@mnshp7548]

edit at 701 was beautiful, please more like that

[@leeread2160]

The snap on digital torque wrench with angle guage on is amazing for cylinder heads, i was old school with mechanical gauge until i used a friends digital wrench it was great and will convert any tool addict

[@billsbumperq]

$$$

[@iBackshift]

Already a Fummins, well, now you can have the first DUMMINS. Red engine Red truck, paint's already done. :)

[@casycasy5199]

put it in diamond t

[@richc9503]

Nice. Any of them!

[@braedon.builds]

Really digging the new background music in these episodes, must be those editors working hard! Really good!

[@mikecoy7243]

Diamond T is the one that needs the 4bt Cummins

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

He has some very cool custom Trucks wow they are gorgeous @Deboss Garage

[@macrokaiju]

Diamond T, with that half hood removal. please dont cut up that old metal!

[@brianpeters4486]

That ring compressor is the best I've ever used. There are lots of different onea out there but it works fantastic. Great video. Love the "Bob's your uncle" and "Strong like bull". Use those all the time :)

[@jammymark]

1 blunt hacksaw blade is good for cleaning piston grooves or even 2 taped together if it's a wider gap for the top ring. Being careful of course!

[@lbailey620]

Diamond T for the 4bt swap!

[@owenarsenault5955]

Dymond T all the way. With the Turbo on the outside.

[@bigunone]

My dad had the same piston ring compressor it has at least 60 plus years of use I know of, and works on all size pistons

[@2H80vids]

After reading through the comments, I'm very tempted to say "stick it in the GMC", just to be awkward. 😁 Seriously though, the Diamond T would be a great home for it. It would be nice to see more of these trucks in the future, especially when that block goes in. Cheers for now, Dougie.

[@ryptidedcg8235]

Definitely the diamond

[@ginggur17]

Your engines always look a work of art when ya done.

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

Thanks!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Great video @deboss garage

[@billspinks4357]

Dimond "T" for sure!

[@gethinjones1348]

Great video Rich, I would choose to put the engine into the Diamond personally 👍

[@albertoreyes4114]

Im 7 minutes late but who gives a crap, anytime is a good time to watch these episodes 💯

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

That 46 gmc is stunning

[@CloudHindlen]

I would like to see the cummins in the red Diamond T. It looks to be a perfect fit.

[@jameshudson9479]

4bt into the Diamond T

[@paulcooper2897]

The Diamond T needs the 4bt

[@matthewtieszenm813]

I think. Your channel is the best

Great job and Another great video 👍👍🇨🇱

[@ThePete2432]

That guy has badass projects

[@tomcleghorn4005]

It needs too be in that diamond t

[@thomasmatejka7367]

I think it should go in the red truck. The idea of the turbo and exhaust coming out the side sounds badass

[@larrycain6425]

The 4bt has to go in the Diamond T, they'd be so sweet

[@joshpalmer2269]

The Cummins exhaust bolts are always a pain, why not use an induction bolt heater. The import knock off ones are relatively cheap and can get a bolt red hot in 30 sec.

[@AIRMANDEBAR]

Definitely the Diamond T

[@markwitkop7022]

Supprised you used the old head bolts. So many others say, "Always New" However, you know the history of that engine. Your experience is way more than mine. Cool videos. Thumbs up.

[@gordonwbell]

Mark Witkop you should always replace the head bolts, the reason is during that 90 degree final torque you’re actually stretching the bolt slightly, and after they’ve been stretched they don’t return to normal and you risk busting a bolt or worse lifting the head while driving....I’m a little puzzled of why he reused them though.

[@guyconnell2250]

Definitely the D T.

[@isbcornbinder]

diamond "T" is my vote

[@danand6907]

You should get a refillable aerosol can. And get some trichloroethylene. I do lots of maintenance on injection molds and that solvent clean oils of metal very very good.

[@poppawheelie6925]

Diamond 4bt build

[@newjerseybill3521]

Diamond T, with a manual transmission!!!

[@ACatKrom]

Sanding the deck, and honing the bores with the crank in there just makes me wince

[@Deftonesdsm]

Ah it'll be FINE. Ive done much much worse and gotten 100k out of engines

[@fastinradfordable]

Why else ya got an oil filter? ;p

Love how you give the Forrest Gump wave and smile at the end, lol’d and woke up the kids

I find oil cans empty too quick for engine jobs so I get a medium size soda bottle tiny hole drilled in the top fill with oil squeeze to squirt like an oil can no more constant pumping just a tip 👍🏻

The Diamond Reo but There was a guy in Quartzsite,AZ that had a Diamond Reo Short Nose Truck running a 5.9 and a 5 speed manuel Trans that was red and black,towing his 5th wheel travel trailer .he told me that the hardest part was Fabing the shift linkage.

[@davegray9715]

Put into the diamond T that would be so cool

[@OUSWKR]

Check out the snap on tech angle torque wrench. I bought one only because it saves so much on my back. I had a fusion 6 years ago and just can’t twist my back like I used to.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I would like to see the 4bt go into the 47 Dimond T pickup
