Sailboat Engine Repair and Sam Joins as Crew (Ep. 11)

[@closetcleaner]

Hey Josh, keep documenting fixes and related ⛵ maintenance. It helps us who are preparing for it. Thanks!

[@LisaRogerC]

Glad you are posting videos again. Your video on explaining how to sail and how to turn into the wind was part of my learning of sailing. Thanks again and sail sail sail.. Roger

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Thanks Roger!

[@michaelharmon4960]

Entertaining and well edited video. Best one so far! It renews the rugged individualism in all of us.

[@surfcitygenecarrothersabec7634]

An important tip for when your trying to prevent oil leaks is to use a product from Permatex called Ultra Black gasket maker. It sticks very good and cures to a rubber like texture and will prevent any future leaks. It has a hundred other uses where you need a semi flexible strong adhesive. Yes you could have eliminated the need for that gasket as well. An critical item to have it your tool kit! Nice Job and glad to see you posting again!!

[@d.j.robinson9424]

Great job Todf, I Love it when a plan comes together. 👍⛵

[@TobysGoPro]

There's only one way to learn it...and....that's to DO it! Great job!

[@FashionableFather]

Your journey is thoroughly enjoyable to watch.

[@spelunkerd]

Nothing more valuable than seasoned crew to share the experience.

[@RoryL83]

Improvise Adapt Overcome. Good stuff Josh.

[@RobertsIslandLivingAdventures]

You’re correct about scratching the surface where the seal goes. I had a mechanic put a little scratch there on my car. Tiny scratch, but leaked like hell.

[@JAYHARRIS85]

Lift UP on breaker bars,,, helps... Use floor, arms and especially legs... Great video brothers! Good work!

[@codewalters]

Very nice video. I am using your tip on the extra pieces to prevent friction from damaging the pipes. You should do a video on just these small creative ideas ! Thanks again Josh !

[@nerhu59]

Thumbs up for Arnie! Great channel, Keep it up mate!

[@darrwoods8353]

Love the DIY aspects of your vblog

[@Max14211]

Your editing is phenomenal, also thanks for the tip for tube chafing its always the simplest things you never think of.

[@wmm6563]

Front crank seal... Harmonic balancer bolt or crankshaft bolt. Front crank seal. If you want to save some time next time... disable the engines ability to start (if you can...it's ok if it can't be easily done)...lock the socket on the crank bolt.. with no extension!!!! ,.place the breaker bar on the side of the engine that the crank is turning towards "you said clockwise."... basically...staring at it ..the right side... Place the bar against the engine support frame, bump it over until it touches...bump-bump-bump-it-again ... Bolt will back out.

[@onthebeaches]

Thanks Josh and Sam! Good job on all accounts! PEACE OUT! Ü

[@clayfarnet970]

Dave is da man...job down...For gear heads that’s no big deal. For people like us (me) it’s a big accomplishment and confidence builder. Did I say, Dave is da man? 👍👍👍

[@justinvernal]

Rebuilt this same motor 2 months ago out of a skid steer. good engine could not tell if yours was turbo charged .👌🇺🇸

[@jefftilghman9059]

Just for future reference, you can use a steel pipe to extend your leverage on a breaker bar.

[@GiantRiderRob]

Thats always one of those things you wish you did while in dry...sorta...but there's never enough time. But good to get it done now. Can't wait to see the next chapter!

[@ketchingmy2ndwindsvchopsticks]

Great Videos!! Thanks for sharing your journey's High & Low points.. It's real life man!! 👍😎.. Looking forward to the next episode!!

[@svredrocks1173]

Notch in crankshaft pulley is called "Key-way" and watch out for half-moon shaped "Key" that locates the pulley. Use of a gasket sealant on both sides of the NEW gasket will properly seal & prevent gasket damage from expansion & cooling cycles. Did you use torque wrench for final tightening up of crankshaft pulley set-screw or Breaker Bar, extension & socket set-up to torque value FT..!? What happened to water pump leak repair - seal & impeller replaced or complete water pump..!?

[@anibaldiogenes3920]

Josh, welcome back mate. We missed your videos. Huge fan of your videos, personality and attitude. Keep it up !

[@robertflindall4692]

Great video Josh. Glad to see you get all that work done on your engine. It must be very satisfying when you finish a long, difficult task like that and it all works out! Great work!

[@shortwidgets]

Great information. I've got the same engine

[@larrycarpenter9899]

Good to see you again Josh. I’ve missed your video’s

[@brendoncoss3985]

That round thing that has the belt on it that's on the end of the crankshaft there, wouldn't you call that the harmonic balancer

[@Twelvestonestacking]

Dude! Scott here ... Met you in Jax @ Morningstar marina!!! You gave me the your of your engine compartment!!! Tight squeeze! A little behind in editing, eh? Glad to see you still getting videos out. Go get'm tiger!

[@brendoncoss3985]

This gentleman done a fine job and it will start up because he didn't get his timing off because it was timing gears and he didn't have to mess with it which did this gentleman done a class a job Eddie done it himself and saved a ton of money now that's something to say

[@brianlintonjones]

Well done Josh, did I see that the engine bilge still had all that old leaking oil down in it.? I hope I was mistaken..if that is cleaned up nicely you will be able to notice any future leaks and confirm you have completely solved your oil leak..looking forward to more videos from you soon..cheers 👍

[@Said_w_the_G]

Could I recommend LED lights for inside the engine area as another project? Might be pretty handy!

[@jerryf609]

Nice job guys. When you have a sailboat, you have to learn new skills, including engine mechanics.

[@brendoncoss3985]

that's the only way to go is timing gears it's not an old way of doing things it's the best way of doing things

[@nogaffin]

Josh, Have you considered installing a three way valve to allow a fresh water flush of the cooling system?

[@sailing_mahalo]

Gotta love Harbor Freight to the rescue!!

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Indeed. Love that store! 🛠

[@williamjohnson1126]

Love your videos. Do you have one where you installed the solar panel? Keep up the great work.

[@wmm6563]

And when using rtv? Always use the newer grey rtv It hardenens better than the old soft blue and black. Or. On seals like this, use gorilla snot....aka...3m weatherstripping adhesive in a tube.. Be careful. It's impossible to get off ANYTHING. But, if you have everything spotless, and the seal is clean and dry, you will never get a leak around the outside of the seal to the timing cover

[@JD-hs7ib]

Replace that belt. An buy a backup if you want to keep the older belt you took off you can still keep it as a backup to the backup.

[@patrickhogan4196]

very rewarding, Nice Vid!

[@whatever3146]

Hey thanks for explaining some of the routine maintenance. A lot of people just show paradise and beautiful scenery with their videos. You are always informing your audience and it's much appreciated! Also your video editing skills are awesome. You may have to stop sailing and go work for Universal Studios. Have you ever done any editing professionally? I think I would prefer the ocean over a time clock any day. 👍

[@AlbertoA15]

Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Well done guys!

[@sarahadams7919]

I’m loving your videos, so informative! I have a couple questions on this one. 1) How did you know it was the gasket that needed replacing and not some other issue? 2) How did you know that that one piece (bolt?) on the pulley needed to be turned counterclockwise to be loosened? Is that because the belt turned clockwise?

[@jaybee-5481]

retired mechanic here, while there are always exceptions to the rule where the use of a proper maintenance manual will help, generally all nuts/bolts are "righty tighty lefty loosey"

[@sarahadams7919]

JayBee if this isn’t some mansplaining 🙄 Obviously I have heard of “righty tighty lefty loosey,” why comment that if you aren’t even going to answer my question, just to waste my time? I’m asking why that did not apply here and how he knew.

[@sarahadams7919]

DR PHIL great points! Thank you 👍🏼

[@jaybee-5481]

@@sarahadams7919 just seeing your reply now for some reason but I did answer your question - I said the use of a proper maintenance manual will advise you of exceptions to the rule and just to be clear which rule I was talking about I referenced righty tighty lefty loosey so that there was no ambiguity in what I was saying but hey, good job for blaming me for your lack of reading comprehension. No good deed goes unpunished...

[@alanmorris7634]

I was particularly interested in the engine maintenance topic in case I need to do something similar to my Yanmar 1GM10. Smooth seas (and no more oil leaks)

[@trevorbyron8181]

Enjoy your sailing and videos. I think you should get a crew like in delos...you're too solitary

[@ericheisler5351]

Impact gun?

[@orlandosilberstein1628]

Hi Josh, how you are, I watched for the first time one of your videos 2 days ago and I have already seen a few of them because you do an excellent job choosing the themes and editing the videos. I have always liked sailboats and I want to have one and I would like you to do me a small favor; could you make a video explaining, depending on your experience, how much the monthly or annual maintenance of a sailboat like yours.

[@ronfiguero]

Josh, I been following you shipmate. go for your dream. Fig the US Navy Photographer will meet you at sea one day. Bravo Zulu

[@sandovich8141]

Cool

[@brendoncoss3985]

The seal that he's putting in right now on any other engine be called main seal

[@ericheisler5351]

Why on earth would the engines use saltwater as a coolant. Salt erodes everything. Why not use a normal coolant system with DexCool or something similar?

[@brendoncoss3985]

What they are failing to say is that your three-quarter inch socket set that they got there not 1/2 inch or 3/8 they have a three-quarter inch socket set

[@sandovich8141]

My like on the video was the first one.

[@mattg6211]

Is that the famous Sam of part-time Easport Catalina sailing trips?

[@dianseib818]

😀👍

[@brendoncoss3985]

You want to get gas gets off easy put a wire brush on a drill

[@gjunior2471]

😉

[@BrianNavalinsky]

OMG, a leaking Perkins! Who'd a thunk? I hate Perkins.

[@brendoncoss3985]

A easier way to do that is get you a 3/4 inch impact wrench and if you don't have the capability of air get your electric impact wrench Milwaukee has a beautiful impact Ridge and so does Harbor Freight which is half the price of Milwaukee but it is 1300 foot pounds of torque and they had to take that boat right off that there are struggling with and trying to brace this and that they're not mechanics and I am

[@louissparks2496]

A lot less Arnie and more details about such things as changing impeller, please.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

The only way to really learn is to do it. Here is how: Remove screws from water pump impeller cover (be careful not to damage gaskets (or be prepared to replace gaskets)), take out old impeller, put in new impeller; replace gasket, water pump cover and screws. Done.

[@myleshall1971]

I look at engines and just cringe. I hate'm. Nothing pisses me off more then wrenching on an engine. I find videos of high seas less stressing.
