DID WE BLOW AN ENGINE//What Is That Noise-Episode 36

[@tom080955]

You’ll have to let Ben and Ashley know that you had the same problem….and you saw their fix. This was awesome and what makes this community great. Cheers to y’all from White Rock BC,Canada….

[@donr416]

I was taught to torque the Bolts in sequence in steps: eg, 22, 45, 68.

[@moonraker814]

It's awesome you guys know how to do all this stuff. I would have no idea how to do any of this and certainly not working on a diesel engine.

[@nooneanybodyknows1321]

Sailing Zingaro also had bent pushrods in a recent vlog. Glad it worked out for you without too much pain in the purse. 👛💰

[@fremountstsongsrich2453]

I was tought to never use the head bolts twice get new ones torque 22. 45. 68 your pattern was correct. I am a cirt. IO OMC mech. Ret.

[@alanlsavoy]

We appreciate all the advice in this video.

[@billyhinton9155]

Hay you were so very lucky on this...

[@davecochran7324]

I see you in Church on the front row. Praise the Engine Godz

[@SailingDauntless]

🤣

[@billwilliams9527]

Excellent fix, pleased you were 'lucky'.

[@peterbeard8836]

Just started watching seeing a lot of comments about head removal and refit nothing wrong here all of your ideas are sound i have seen a lot worse in my life and fixed it the same way,it’s comes down to what you are happy with the only thing I would suggest you do Is adjust tappets and do a 3 step tension of NEW head bolts.good job thanks for the journey, Peter

[@petetjaarda5112]

👍😃👍 Close call. Whew! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us at home. 👍😃👍

[@SailingDauntless]

Thank you for following along!😄

[@RusstafaB]

Sunday in London watch Colin and Jamie of the Parlay crew to learn how to fix bulkheads. Next watch the Dauntless crew on how to fix Yanmar engine problems. Both amazing, and thank you 👍🏾great video

[@elroymartyn8429]

Same Sunday in Birmingham! 👍🏿

[@adidoney1505]

Same here in Scunthorpe

[@haraldkleinmoedig6374]

Ditto in San Jose,Costa rica😉

[@eduardomeirelles5390]

You should also watch SV Nahoa...with Ben and Ash from Vistoria BC... back then I was North Vancouver, BC...

[@jacana25]

Having two engines in a catamaran is a significant safety feature. When something goes wrong with one engine you can just shut it down and keep motoring on the other to a safe place to fix it. A broken valve spring will give no warning and 9/10 it will happen at the worst possible time.

[@JayBr61]

Nice job. Thanks for showing what the engine *should* sound like, too. That's a great engine compartment - tons of room.

[@SailingDauntless]

Thanks!

[@rl3898]

I've had the same with a 3 cylinder 20hp Yanmar, the owners ran it for over an hour in order to get to their mooring after it started rattling ! Same as you though valve spring only. Lucky though as no bent push rod and 1 of the collets was laying beside the push rod of another cylinder and nothing was stopping it falling into the camshaft area, bar luck !

[@SailingDauntless]

Wow!

[@robertscranton8293]

Nice work!!

[@dc1544]

3 min 54 sec in I would say exhaust gasket. lets see if I am correct. oh yeah great job guys. love all so far.

[@dc1544]

okay I was off I see. valve damage sounds like exhaust leak

[@SailingDauntless]

😂

[@triprobinson2808]

Well done

[@deantk4214]

I’ve removed heads on many an engine, I’m always nervous to look inside lol! Great work 🤙🏼

[@SailingDauntless]

Right?!

[@arazcaliph9067]

Good job.....

[@christopherjacques9658]

Good time to check glow plugs, also considering the fuel filter is drawing down might be wise to have injectors pressure tested.

[@SailingDauntless]

Done and done , all good just air in the lines

[@vivianbond7449]

Did you clean the threads Out in the block

[@HeidiandFranny]

Wow, so great you didn't have any more damage! That was pretty close. Great idea to just replace all the springs. Wondering about a valve adjustment while you were there. Might be a good thing to do as a baseline if you don't know when it was done last. That did sound really nice when you were done! Oh, and Hi from Colorado! F

[@SailingDauntless]

Hey Colorado!! Yeah we did a valve adjustment on both engines and they are purring!

[@HeidiandFranny]

@@SailingDauntless Awesome! Great to hear. Safe travels :)

[@MichaelJohnson-rc1kp]

this was a good video, very informative.

[@danaparedes5613]

Tye, your skills are endless! Everyone is asking, how many hours on that engine? Metal fatigue in the spring, so you will replace them all? Sailing Zingaro just did a similar job on his engine.

[@SailingDauntless]

Thanks Dana! Yeah, just decided to replace them all for piece of mind. Fluke metal fatigue thing at 1500 hours. Go figure

[@andymarshall2201]

Great video guys, well done.

[@SailingDauntless]

Thank you!

[@gregan1450]

Job well done

[@SailingDauntless]

Thank you

[@jimlinton4655]

Lucked out on that one!

[@vivianbond7449]

Is there side to side play in piston that the valve hit

[@guybever8935]

Enjoyed the video

[@SailingDauntless]

Awesome

[@vivianbond7449]

Has the timing belt or chain broke which is dropped the valve into the piston

[@donr416]

How many hours on the engine with the broken spring? Were both halves of the valve keeper found?

[@SailingDauntless]

1500 hours, and yep! Everything was just laying on top of the head. I can’t believe that the keepers didn’t fall down the push rod holes!

[@melspencer9957]

So there were 2 boats...old and new ?? I just watched 2 new engines go in the repaired boat....so there was a previous Dauntless ? (new sub!)

[@nash5]

Nice one!

[@vivianbond7449]

New head gasket and stretch bolts and oil and oil filter

[@adidoney1505]

Just some advice, you really should cap off those outlets on the fuel rail, common rail diesels absolutely do not appreciate even a few microns worth of foreign matter/dust in their fuel system. I don't know about yanmars but most common rail injector pipes are one use only as well

[@SailingDauntless]

Good tip, I was so focused on the trouble shooting and repair that I totally forgot.

[@xfoxtrotwiskeykilo995]

Nice

[@raviarjuna9839]

George your uncle. Never heard for a long time.

[@paratyshow]

👍☑️ good job!

[@SailingDauntless]

Thanks!

[@tallman2994]

easy fix

[@tommussington8330]

There's a rope trick for gas engines you pull the plug put some rope in the cylinder rotate engin by hand to have piston come up to tops far as it will go and stop t he rope will hold valves in place to replace springs and push rods. I can't see why you couldn't pull injector put the rope in lots a string in and do the same thing.

[@rl3898]

You don't need to with a diesel, the piston to head clearance is minimal so you won't get anything in there anyway.

[@barryhammell3478]

How lucky you are. Replacing the engine would be the pitts.

[@SailingDauntless]

No lie. We are so lucky

[@oneamericanpatriot108]

valve job new top end

[@michaelanderson1788]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@vivianbond7449]

No it could locked it up if it imprinted the valve into the piston

[@johnwarren7155]

What happened to episode 34 and 35

[@SailingDauntless]

Episode 34 & 35 are our adventures while delivering a Sunreef 70 from the Virgin Islands back to Florida. Episode 34: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3zKd2iknpt0eNU Episode 35: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGjZh4WJr6uEepI

[@vivianbond7449]

Look at the bottom of the head see if there’s damage

[@landonhillyard]

Time to go electric propulsion my man. You already have the difficult expensive part done, the batteries.

[@rogerkerkmann]

One servo prop one diesel what do you think? 👍

[@landonhillyard]

@@rogerkerkmann sounds like a great combo. $3500 and you could have a bldc motor and controller that will cover your needs in a majority of situations. Not to mention evening the load on your rigging in large swells, speed augmentation in light winds, one less bildge that stinks and is dirty, and fewer hours on the diesels.

[@rogerkerkmann]

@@landonhillyard I think you need another zero on that figure I thought they were like 20 grand
