[@wornoutwrench8128]

Retired heavy duty mechanic here. Gawd, this brought back memories. Have not done any Detroit work in years. Used to do the occasional inframe on logging machines, mostly 12V71 and 8V71. Anything small enough that it had a 6 we would just do a swap. I was busting my gut laughing when you were stuck under the bus. Have been there and done that. I was in a really tight spot one time, got stuck. Told my buddy I was stuck as I was trying to wiggle my way out. DON'T PANIC he yells, IT MAKES YOU SWELL UP Well, I just lost it, could not stop laughing. Had a cable tie trying to stick itself into one of my ears, pretty much done. Will never forget that day. Don't panic, you swell LOL

[@wazza33racer]

liners come out easy................when I once did a Mack 6 cylinder EA-470 we had one liner couldnt get out using the standard hydraulic press method. So we jacked the whole front end of the truck off the gound ( 4,500kg) on the liner, ran beads of weld inside the liner and went away for a cup of tea. 30 mins later when we came back the liner had finally lifted out the block. crazy stuff.

[@ScottHenion]

Love seeing the dogs. I grew up with a St. Bernard, and remember how they are so much fun. As a 60lb kid playing tug of war with a 120lb dog, I'd used to come in covered in green from being dragged around the lawn ;)

[@wernerdanler2742]

That's funny Scott. When I was in highschool some little kid down the street used to get drug around the neighbourhood by a Bernard. One of the funniest things I ever saw.

[@Tiger351]

Great to see father and son working on the same project together, you'll probably pick up 40hp even before you add the bigger injectors after you rebuild it.

[@Shane-Singleton]

When you started laughing when you were wedged under the bus I started laughing my butt off! Glad to see you and Tyler having fun doing this together. Definitely a happy Father's day to you!

[@ao2528]

That was the best and fun part of video, I was laughing loud at the same time too.

[@68air]

I may be going out on a limb here but I would wager you are the only Father and Son rebuilding a 671 out of a Silverside today.

[@bobferranti5222]

I've worked on engine rebuilds with my son's and it's something we will never forget.

[@ironeagle1281]

Great family father's day project. thank's for sharing YOUR day with us. Good on Tyler for helping his dad and struttin his stuff. Kuddos for accomplishing all of this virtually on the street and in such good humor. Hope you get your dream garage..............you deserve it. :-)

[@emsguy486]

Tyler looks, acts, and sounds just like you. No denying who his daddy is. I know you must be a proud papa. Happy Fathers Day. By the way, that engine is not leaking oil...... It's sweating horsepower!!

[@cbmech2563]

If an old Jimmy isn't slobbering oil that means that there's none left in crankcase. And the 110 is worse.

[@stephenhunter70]

​@@cbmech2563 It's a good thing he's working on it then

Smart move sell the house and by a rural house with land, you will enjoy life to the fullest.

Imagine if the HOA came by now. Carnage in the street, I love it.

[@winkieman666]

They really do frown on home mechanics.

[@snuffysmiff]

I wonder what their reaction would be if you told them you were "a huge full-auto machine gun enthusiast"...? (snicker!)

[@jmax6614]

My hoa would die

[@erikneland8632]

Using New Pig absorbant mats to cover the street under the rear end and an additional 2 feet around it would leave the street surface cleaner after than before.

[@marcijunebug]

Chris Smith if the HOA comes by now they best be in work clothes and prepared to do some wrenchin’!!!

[@soillife1]

Thanks for sharing Its great that you can work with your son. Marion Ohio got 2 plus inches since you left. You left just in time. 🤗😉

Fascinating to watch the tear down. I really enjoy your videos. Cheers!

[@zackreuter6344]

That there is what you call a busman's holiday! Brings back a lot of fond memories, working with my dad.

[@oldtug]

Wow. This brings back memories of an inframe 671 rebuild I also did with my dads help (with both of us as total diesel mechanic amateurs) on one of a, maybe WWII vintage, twin 2 into 1 marine transmission setup in a 90 year old tugboat I owned. Thanks for showing.

[@stacyboots1818]

Oh that hoa is going to love you and your bus ! Big time ! I know I do! That greasy transmission will look so pretty as front yard art. I'm jealous. Looks awesome from here! Thanks BGM and JR.

[@mab5870]

I love your video's! I love vintage stuff! You make me want an old Bus! Keep it up!

[@OBS_Ford_Diesels_Inc]

I always loved working with my dad years ago. Still do. That 6-71 is going to run and start easily when you're finished. That's my favorite Detroit engine, the 6-71

[@rogerbrewer7770]

I can do most things glad you still have the skills and knowledge to rebuild in frame that’s tough but you have help and means to keep things alive.

[@lonniebrooks4646]

Appreciate you sharing thes3 videos, love watching.

[@stevezwemer1262]

Great Video. Thank you Fascinating to see it come apart. Would love to do something like this with my son. Enjoy!

[@TheDaf95xf]

Hi Scott and Son 👍🏻 Great video on your bus 😄 Loved watching you working together pulling that Detroit engine down 🤣 It’s really interesting thanks Stevie 😎🇬🇧

[@travelingkaspersworld4096]

Happy Father's Day. You know, I hit like before the first commercial is over. Haven't had to ever go back and de'like. Have a super great day!

[@darangemaster1]

im developing a fondness for these engines because of your videos i love their simplicity. i wondered where the roots blower came from now i know lol

[@paulmiller4246]

I am not even a bus owner but really enjoy the videos. I have leaned a lot about 2 stroke Detroit’s watching your videos. I hope to own one Thanks for posting

[@pappypinel7484]

Love the video..beautiful family...Great work...

[@miked9104]

I’m just loving these videos! Been watching for a few months now. If you’re ever in Corpus Christi and need to borrow a tool....you’re welcome to it... so long as I can watch and learn something 👍🏻👍🏻

[@davedeiler2072]

You really have to love how these old buses were engineered to be worked on, ie the swing bumper, the interior access hole, etc.

[@afmoa]

very cool seeing the difference between an 6-71 and a 6v-71. Both have about the same power but much different packaging. I like how the blower mounts to the side like that. I very much want to find a blower in a junkyard to mount in my garage as wall art with those big twin screws. Very cool stuff!

[@patchrat1]

Happy Fathers Day to you what a great way to spend it with your son doing what you both love to do

[@jimo199966]

If it's Sunday evening it's BGM TV on the air! 👍 Great video Scott. As always educational and fun. Hope the trans goes easy with no ugly suprises

[@tl1024]

Totally getting in! Subscribed today! The Benson "u store it" lot rebuild was awesome! (And right around the corner from me). I've been "binging" on your videos. And always loved the old Detroit (not sure why I loved it). Now I'm totally sure why I love it! Lol, same reason you do! Simple, reliable, good design, and damn innovative back when it was the face of the "new diesel"!

[@mischef18]

Enjoyed this video bro and looking forward to more on this. Our son is special needs so working on something together will never be. All the best

Great fathers day,working with your son or you can say twin brother😁 Awesome teamwork guys. Every dads dream.GOD BLESS YOU ALL😇

[@marty0715yt]

This is soo great to watch you tear a two stroke down. Many thanks!!!

[@journeymann1878]

I really admire your skills. Here in California the code enforcement team who a neighbor would of called would be out to shut you down and probably write a ticket. Then a hazmat team would come out to clean up the oil and send you that bill too.

[@michaelreece458]

Everything is a haz mat nowadays...... society in general has become pathetically weak..... surprised rain hasn't been declared a haz mat yet.

[@daveyb2552]

Happy Father’s Day. I think your engine likes you, that and good oil and coolant, (nice color). I hope you plastigauge a few journals, I am interested to see how many .0001” wear they have. Thank you so much for all of your content!

[@PinMonkey1960]

Great fathers day project with the boy. So interesting to see what my grandfather and uncle did for a living.

[@carytowncat]

Dang you two are brave! Thanks for sharing this. 671 and dt466 re my faves. Never knew the 671 is wet sleeve too.

Happy fathers day! Think that's good father and son time, doing something that the both of you enjoy.

[@captsam54]

Man.. Loved that sound.. 1st start of the day.. lol.. Good Father and son day... 1st look at your engine reminds me of the old saying the shoemakers children have no shoes... Working on everybody else's stuff... and yours looks like a Puerto Rico farm bus.. or shrimp boat engine.. lol.. I did however learn tricks pulling the liners with the pistons etc.. Interesting.. U got away with the HOA. as your bus is a Camper... or MH... Just always very interesting stuff with your diesel work... Damn Detroit's... 42 odd years dealing with them... Love the rescue Dog...

[@wazheamadman6086]

Awesome to be able to work with your son. Hope one day to do similar. Found your channel thanks to Stew. Am another Aussie. Am also a diesel mechanic but no nothing about those on 2 strokes. Look forward to watching more. Fantastic old buses

[@DangarMarine]

Really enjoyed that Scott, great to see the A Team in action together. Your technique of removing the liner by putting a rod through the ports was very cool! :)

[@1320fastback]

I'd say your rebuilding that motor at just about the perfect time. Definitely needed to be done but still drivable.

[@ShainAndrews]

Yeah that's a typical fathers day. Lets start an inframe. LOL

[@josephheston9238]

It is not leaking oil. It is marking its territory.

I love that bus. I want to find one like that. With greyhound emblems.

[@davepatti2296]

At the forklift company I worked for years ago, they used 1 ton Ford trucks (and the Super Duty when they came out in the early 90s) with a box on the back for service trucks. Was nice, you could back up to the loading docks of the customers and also have a nice stand-up shop to work in (unlike hunched over in a van). Well one of our guys lived in a HOA neighborhood, they hated that truck parked in their driveway. But it was his work vehicle, so they had to grudgingly accept it. HOA's are snobs, they don't even like window A/C units, clotheslines, etc. Enjoy your more recent videos, you have a nice piece of land out there to do what you want. Congrats on doing what you enjoy!

[@nickraschke4737]

Some tlc on your bus eh. Cool.ps, love the Whisky delivery dog! That awesome.

[@mid-niteryders5523]

Always glad to hear, you beat them on a technicality. To bad instead of campers your neighbors could have buses too !

[@jettpro6647]

Hate hoas, great father and son video. Just subscribed to Jr.’s channel! Awesome in the street rebuild!

[@cobra5087]

Oh man I took a MCI 9 out on the winter. It was 22 years old. It was cold on the temp gauge. When I came up to the gate and waved to the guard. I put the pedal to the floor and covered the guard shack with blue and white smoke lmao. It was awesome.

[@3374jj]

She's not leaking oil... She's marking her territory... 😊

[@shoominati23]

well with new pistons and liners and a ground bottom end, you practically end up with a new motor with the detroits anyway

[@Streamer687]

Not so much in a two stroke..I agree with him...best way is to Pull it all out and redo it all, this is a Band Aid on this type of Motor rebuilds...BUT!!! ya gotta WORK within yer Budget and its a great thing if you dont have to "Borrow" to do it?

It's nice that you get to work on your own bus for a change. Your KZbin popularity is certainly growing.

[@garycallahan7867]

Scott, when you came down 11W in East TN last week if you had turned left on 25 there is a bus similar to yours sitting in the Morristown flea market being used for storage. It looks like it has been there a while. It is about 2 miles from Interstate 81 exit 8 on 25. Going toward Morristown TN. It’s been converted to a church/ gospel group buss at some point. There are 2 AC units on roof and some windows have been covered.

[@tater_relocater]

Looks like your tearing it down just in time , good to have a fresh engine.

[@BusGreaseMonkey]

That thing had a lot of life left in it but this in-frame now will really give it a new lease on life for a while.

[@lateefcarrere1649]

I think the old rule was: "The better the mechanic, the worse his vehicle." That was usually because he put all his time & energy into making his customers' vehicles right. So you must be pretty good, lol! I know that you're not going the turbo route just yet, but I'll hate to see that blower come off for the last time when you do. And it's good to see father & son working together on something cool. One last thought: Detroit Diesel > HOA.

[@ROTAXD]

Lateef Carrere turbo Detroits are also blown. The dd 2 strokes need the blowers simply to run (they’re not power adders). The turbos are the power adders. That’s right: A 2 stroke dd that’s turbo’d is also supercharged.

[@robertborchert932]
