I doubt I will ever do this kind of work. So why do I love watching these videos so much?? I think it's the combination of learning, the satisfaction of seeing quality work get done, and the thought that the engine will run like new when it gets put back in. Anyhoo, cool video!

[@cameroncarroll7446]

Also save that you had to have some kind of engine work done on something when the mechanic came to you to let you know what he had to replace you would actually have a little bit more knowledge on it and no that everything he does is within the bounds of what he says needs to be done so say you watch the video and learned everything and you had to have an engine rebuilt or machined if the mechanic came to you and said hey your Pistons need replaced you wouldn't know what he would be replacing versus somebody that doesn't know anything about an engine if a mechanic came to them and said hey I need to replace your Pistons he could replace a camshaft instead and they think okay good my Pistons are done you see what I kind of been trying to get up you would have an expensive knowledge on it now and you can at least know a little bit more about what your mechanics doing to your engine in a sense

You guys are just a few of the last good machine shops left!! KEEP up the good work.

As a retired quality engineer I truly enjoy the precision you're using to ensure a solid rebuild.

[@TomCurtis-jx4nl]

You guys are great. Our local machine shop wont remove sleeves. I asked in preparation for my 8n ford rebuild and he said nope i would have to remove them myself. Recomended a weld bead down the inside if each bore tonrelrase sleeve. Told him im not a welder. So im lookinh for new machine shop lol

I’m a young Boomer but constantly amazed how people the age of my kids (Millennials) simply refuse to understand anything about the equipment they depend on daily. It’s just replaced when it breaks. My 30 y/o daughter does her own DIY (new bathroom, new kitchen, genuine solid parquet floor, etc.) she doesn’t touch her car but she does understand how and why it needs maintaining.

[@miceinoz1181]

You have no idea how enjoyable it is to watch you guys do your work. Very therapeutic. Makes me want to go out and buy some equipment myself.....🤔

[@jackvisn]

I absolutely love how quickly and concisely you narrate. The cutter wobble at high feed in slow motion was very interesting. I own a CNC machine shop (not automotive) and a good friend does exactly what you do. I like the manual skills and thinking you use. I don't think a CNC would stop to check the C-Bore. I don't know if the CNC boring machines center on every bore, but think it necessary on older engines. I wonder how many people realize what the distance taking the extra two thou really entails. Great video skills as well as machining skills.

[@the_bishop]

These videos make me miss working as a shop hand in an old school machine shop 20+ years ago. If you guys were close by, I'd work there for free, just to soak up the knowledge!

Gentlemen from day one that I started seeing your channel, I was very amazed and intrigued on how you and your dad do these things, My heart's desire and wish wish is that you would would honor me with with doing the head of my engine a 2.4 L ecotec Chevy on an Equinox, She is at 110000 miles But, Alas I live too far away in in North Carolina And although I know how to break my engine down I don't have where to do it at this time of my life, So God-bless you and your dad and and your family's and the business.

Nice work! I do some lighter machinework here in Sweden, i have one milling machine and a lathe and a valvegrinder. Just resurfacing heads and grinding valves and seats. But i would love to be able to do seat changing and valvestems someday! But im just a weekend warrior but having fun watching your videos and learning stuff! ( sorry if my spelling is bad)

Super job in every respect - very nice to see a good father and son relationship - it's heartening - thanks much!

[@nepicness]

It’s really cool seeing that even with your beefy tooling, there is a decent bit of flex in the head at 2:33 when viewing in slow mo

[@joelboertlein5660]

Hello from North Carolina....love your videos and commentary! I enjoy the broad spectrum of jobs you and your father complete. My Grandfather was a machinist for a large company in Illinois, your videos let me see some of what he did in living color.

Your guys are doing great as a former mechanic and machinist it's neat to learn how you guys do your magic !!!

[@adybarker4733]

I used to work on the machining line that produced that block. If I remember correctly, the parent bores were rough and finish bored on Burr 1 and Burr 2 vertical boring machines, then honed on Nagel honers. The liners were fitted, bored on Burr 3 and then finish honed on a Citroen honer.

[@belyear]

[@sydneymowerandautomotivece4319]

Wow that's one lucky tractor to bee rebuilt out of the tractor. We normally have have to do them in the tractor. Use the stick welder to remove the sleeves and have to freeze the new sleeves to get them in. Good work.

[@orangetruckman]

At about 2:35 in, that defection seen in slow motion was awesome! Always hear about it, but never really see it in action like that.

[@benjaminjordan2762]

I appreciate y'alls precise work. If I lived close to you, I would use you for my machine work.

[@jeremyfaint5291]

my dad was a machinist , love your videos

[@lovesloudcars]

Very interesting & surprising to see at 2:35 that it's moving as you bore downwards. As you said later I's a big rough cut & not critical, but still a bit surprising it moved a bit. I've helped pull & replace those on a Perkins engine before. We were a little more crude in the removal process.. To install the new sleeves we poured liquid propane on them & dropped them in. 3:50 the "apprentice" did really well!!

[@cocaineanus173]

🤣 Everyone has a process that works for them. Your turd process might be meaningless to others. Vise versa.

[@JoeKyser]

We also bored out the old sleeves. That is definitely the safest and best route

[@robertweitlauf4653]

as a factory trained Perkins tech i have to tell you i hated changing sleeves. we had a liner puller but it was so cumbersome a lot of time i just ran a couple of weld beads down the cylinder and used the puller to install. liners should be a tighter fit if not they dont transfer the heat, you can actually see hot spots when you remove old loose fit liner. they use baked on primer on there blocks, .

I wish there was a shop as professional as as you guys are in my area. I used to be in the same business in my younger years and wish I would have stayed with it. It cost to much nowadays to get back into it. I have only one good shop in the area and they are always at least 6 weeks or more behind.

[@billjacobs8035]

My thoughts exactly 👍

[@16vSciroccoboi]

All the shops in my area are months out. :/

[@MFV8]

I'm just a farmer but have done several overhauls to Perkins engines and I can not believe how those liners would stay in place, they are so loose to the bores. I once used aftermarket liners and they were just like these, went in way too easy. Sent them back and bought original Perkins liners, they are much tighter fit. I believe this is number one cause when liner cracks and gets pulled down to the sump, all thats holding it in place is that shoulder. Puts a lot of strain on that thin cast liner wall. Perkins manuals even say to use Loctite when fitting finished liners because service liners are not as tight fit as factory fitted ones. But they should not be that loose as in this video.

[@tedheierman1181]

Very cool rebuild of an old engine.

[@matthewh271]

Can you guys do some more videos like this but show the entire machining of both the block and heads. Ya know for us who like this as our ASMR. Thank you for you commentary during the video

You know, when I was a kid, my Dad use to say to me all the time "Dammit son, if you can't do it right the first time, don't do it at all".. Clearly your Father believes the same thing which is great. P.S., I once responded to Dad telling me that "Ok, great, I won't mow the yard then".. Yea, the response wasn't well received by Dad.. lol

[@n1352-m1i]

thank you for presenting the operation so clearly... instant 2'30" the slowmotion shows quite a bit of flex, clearly visible by eye : how much would that be ?

[@nfarnell1]

I'm retired now but back in the day I resleeved many engines, mostly d236 and 282 IHC engines. These engines were dry sleeve engines and the sleeves we removed were worn tappered. the engine blocks were also worn tappered, not much but enough to interfer with heat transfer from the sleeve to the block. We honed the block true before selecting the sleeve OD. I have no idea if the Perkins had the same issue but if you get the fit wrong the sleeve will fail quickly. I am curious if your engines have the same issue. enjoyed your video.

[@bigguy78246]

Great videos. With a. Small business in your location do you see a trend of what comes in during different seasons. For example after harvest season might you see an more demand for machining equipment engines rather than car engines.

[@weirddeere]

Thank you for sharing all these behind the scenes in a machine shop. I understand indicating at the top of the cylinder to make sure it's centered, and especially checking when you're partially in the bore. How do you make sure you're square with the length of the bore? Just indicating off the other machined surfaces of the block? Cutting that thin I'd have nightmares of being centered at the top and then cutting the block near the bottom of the bore.

[@nerd1000ify]

This is probably taken care of by the fixture they're using to hold the block.

[@bigal878]

2 12 ton bottle jacks, couple of pieces of 1/2" thick angle iron and a puck machined to just barely slip in side the sleeve 3/4" with a lip that'll grab the sleeve but small enough to pass through the block, at least 3/4" all thread and a thick drawbar will pull the sleeves out fairly quick.

I have a 1961 dexta with a perkins P3 144cubic inches and even though she runs. Pretty well, there’s a knock that leads me to believe the valves need adjusting. I also have so much crankcase pressure that there’s more vapour/smoke coming from the breather tube than the exhaust. In due time, i might have to replace the sleeves as well as the pistons and bearings. I wanna do it myself, but i don’t have equipment yet.
