Lucky doesn't even come close! One bolt broken, Another one walked out and dove into the pump gear? And... it's all on top? Karma was kind! Plus, You had a replacement gear on hand! You guys have used up all your guys luck for the next decade or so. Take it easy for a while!

[@noduh736]

I'm pretty sure putting that much loctite or anything on the bolt or in the threads iti changes torque if it's just good and clean and a dab of it idk I could be wrong

[@Joshie2256]

True. Lube changes the torque needed to achieve a given bolt stretch and load. If the hole isn't blind the excess just comes out. If the hole is blind the hydraulic pressure can break castings. :O

[@jamescrapeticio2771]

@@Joshie2256 luckily it’s not a blind hole, also excessive loctite could definitely have caused us to over torque on accident, thus the broken bolt.

[@1slow370]

You boys need to put an electric lift pump in the tank for those insta-starts

[@davidblanck4131]

I think this is the first time I've seen you actually dodge a bullet. Can't wait for the power episode.

[@Michael_Lorenson]

First time at your channel. I refurbished a 1972 240Z in the late 80s, and I thought it was a great car. Your diesel is a cool project. I love the video presentation and the editing; straight to the point, technically detailed, no time-wasting BS. L/S

[@crottemole]

You guys were lucky with that bolt!

[@fryreartechnology7611]

That chain tool... I love tools like that and every time I can get one or make a custom tool I have skip in my step that last a good week. My pocket book might not love it but my toolboxes do.

[@Joshie2256]

I miss my '71 240Z and my '96 Ram 2500 Cummins with all the Banks equipment. I love I6s. You've put together a car I would love to own.

I'm really glad this wasn't a catastrophic failure. Keep up the great work my brothers

[@chincemagnet]

You must be hitting the algorithm because I’ve never heard of you before a couple days ago, that car is SICK though 🤢 👍🏼

[@tannergreytak6743]

50psi or bust! Those cam gear bolts need a few ugga dugga! Lol Love to build, keep it up 🤘🏻

[@rustynichols22]

I think the max boost for this may be around 60 like you were saying! Where would it blow up? I say 62 PSI would be the blow up point! I hope it doesn't blow up though, I absolutely love this build! No LS, no Coyote, no Hemi. Nothing typical. This build is the exact reason why I subscribed! I love it yall!

[@christianwc9458]

Lovely chain work, learn a lot every time you put out new videos. Still love the W124 in the background, let's see some videos on that, too, please.

[@jamescrapeticio2771]

It’s coming, I’m just an asshole and decided to slap fender flares on it and prep it for a repaint. The guys all hate me now and Jp didn’t want to film bodywork all day lol. But I’m about to start my engine rebuild this coming week, so expect content shortly.

[@slidewayzm5]

I thought I was lucky when I had the narrow Jam nut holding my nitrous nozzle on my Husaberg 570 Snowbike loosen off and fall vertically down onto the intake valve when I shut the bike off. When I went to start the bike next, it cranked over and then stopped. Upon pulling the head off, the narrow nut had compressed on the piston ever so slightly and there was ZERO piston, cylinder wall, valve and valve seat damage. Incredibly lucky! 62 psi.. but don't blow it up. Give it to me because I'd absolutely LOVE that car! Wanted one for ever with big power AND fuel economy 😎

[@mackdiesel6437]

Nothing got dicked that bad, that’s the best you can hope for in any build. ABSOLUTELY.

[@xozindustries7451]

Good to see you guys back on it! Make sure you use brake clean on both sets of threads before you put the loktite in, if the threads are coated in oil, it’s not going to work good

[@noscil9403]

Safety wire seems like a good idea here

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

They broke, titanium bolts would be on my agenda....

[@thebigmacd]

@@EZ-D-FIANT titanium bolts are much weaker than high tensile strength steel.

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

As a rule yes but I've heard rolled threads (as used in aircraft) allow a stronger shear factor at the thread, depending on the way the bolt broke would dictate the next grade, I watched this in the background but saw thread damage not a snap I may be wrong and definitely agree a type 8 for example at the same size is stronger but the thread strength is a whole other thing (I'm no specalist it's just what I've picked up from smarter people them myself I'm open to being wrong)! Maybe some movement was to blame but that would usually snap not de-thread, it's an unusual and very lucky thing he experienced, my bet would be that it's a closed hole and he used too much lock which put excess pressure on the threads but like o said I vaguely watched this it was a first on my recommendation I love what I'm seeing and will watch more for sure but right now I'll admit I'm guessing as to the ins and outs of this exact install!

[@thebigmacd]

@@EZ-D-FIANT you didn't watch the video closely. The end of the bolt snapped off, which was caused by the bolts backing out. Titanium would not fix either of these failures. Aerospace applications use titanium for two reasons: weight and corrosion. Strength is not one of them. Sure, rolled threads help but high strength steel is stronger, and inside a diesel engine weight and corrosion are not a problem.

[@EZ-D-FIANT]

Yer I know I didn't I'll sit down and binge watch all these properly later I did say I was open to being wrong and unsure....

[@mathewmorrison1503]

60psi for sure. Great car guys! Truly inspiring!

[@Danger_mouse]

18:40 You guys don't know what real fear is until you have done a chain in the original L motor for the Z car 😁 The spring loaded, non-retained tensioner can pop out at any moment and there you are pulling the sump and front cover off. Great to get some knowledge like you said!

[@g__wizz]

max boost on blowing that thing really depends on your drive pressure.. which really depends on your AR number on your turbos exhaust side. should do 55psi intake tho.. soo around that exhaust. but prob 45 with your hx40.

[@bigfootgarage2201]

Man that Datsun is giving you issues let me take it off your hands I got 5 bucks I can spare 😂 I love it

[@dukekemppy5409]

Blue loctite: I may want to move this at some point. Red Locktite: Fuck the future, this bitch aint moving.

[@rubezahlmountainworks7974]

I am glad you guys got it sorted. I don't know what I would do if mine screwed up catastrophically.

[@Snailmailtrucker]

Glad you guys got lucky...this time ! 50lbs of Boost ...these OM 606's are stout...but there's a limit ! Remember my 1998 E300D OM 606 is still for sale in Craigslist Eugene, Or. if you need a replacement.

[@scenically6460]

This is easily the coolest build i have ever seen. I loved every video on it!

[@MeatPoPsiclez]

Pulling a new chain through on the end of the old chain is a common way to do chain replacements on industrial machines. I've replaced the chains on a platen diecutter (40x28" tooling die, 250 ton cutting pressure, 7000 impressions / hour) a number of times, the only real difference is the ratcheting wrench to turn it over is about 5' long. Retiming these kind of machines is a nightmare, especially after a decade or two of grease and dust obscures any chances of seeing timing marks.

[@GregoryVeizades]

It's also literally how mercedes tells you to do this.

[@rickybailey7123]

I'm going to say 100 psi it's a very strong engine 💪and then probably just blow the head gasket!! I'm sure we will see in time and im going with 1 time pull estimate!!

[@Dr.stein55]

The block can actually take 73.5psi before failure which is crazy. But its true. A very reputable Mercedes diesel tuner in Europe has extensively tested the 606 and thats its block failure point.

[@danw1955]

Man, you guys were lucky to get off that easy! That Mercedes chain link tool is slicker than snot on a glass doorknob! Gotta have the right stuff if you don't want to tear down the whole engine. If it was mine, I wouldn't push more than 30-35 lbs. if you want it to last a while. It runs too nice to trash it right away. You got lucky on the broken cam gear bolts *this time.* I'd really like to see what it will do on a proper road course!😉👍

[@lithium534]

Very lucky. What you can and should do as you have a lock wire is drill a hole on all the 3 bolts and lockwire all of the together. Issue with loctite is that if there is oil in the thread hole it won't lock.

[@joebanks3698]

Fab a ring with locking tabs for those 3 cam sprocket bolts and forget about the loctite goop.

[@motoredbikemadness2061]

This. I’ve seen it on dirt bike front sprockets

[@HorstDBorst]

Diesels love boost I think at least 70 to 75 psi will send a rod to the moon! But I'm excited to see her at her max!!! This is the build that car deserves

[@curvs4me]

Grade 10 full red. Vibration from the revs. Probably a good thing, you might want to go around and see what else you could replace. I think you're only option is aircraft safety wire for absolute piece of mind.

[@manuelatallah7127]

love the detail in these photo's appreciate seeing the right tools being used!

[@joshlane6560]

Nice to see the Datsun 240ztr is back up and running, id say the car might possibly take 62psi before it starts to let go, 68 psi before it lets go

[@philkensebben157]

This grenade was doing everything it could to KA-BOOM! Love this build, guys.

[@deanlambert8758]

Oh my goodness this is such a cool build. Been binging all the videos again to learn more about it - you guys are really good at explaining the technical shit in an easy way (much appreciated) With that big old thing I'm assuming probably 70lbs of boost to make the thing pop 😂 please don't do that lol

[@michaeldietsch7476]

This is my favorite resto mod in existence.

[@master21mark]

Glad you lucked out, and was good to see you get it back running again. I even learnt something!

[@bonkbonk92]

It's awesome how you guys are learning a lot even through the sucky parts. This build is fantastic! Also I gotta say that you got the exhaust sound perfect!

[@nathanmacleod331]

This is my favourite diesel build on KZbin hands down

[@JDMBOizz]

I feel y’all I had a cheap turbo explode 🤯 on my om606 somehow it didn’t toast the motor now have a new borgwarner s366 turbo setup with a twin scroll manifold driving around like nothing happened ✌️✌️

[@Brock_Landers]

I'm going to go ahead and say 58 lbs of boost. I'm currently running 10 lbs through my 3.2L Acura V6 in my 01 Accord and it's making around 500 whp.

[@chrisperrish9535]

Use lock tight on all bolts that has high revs and vibration on that bolt....some thing I learn..yes is hard get off but won't break while having fun or racing.

[@bmorlok84]

I think all the boost would blow it up.. I want my Audi TDI to boost like that! Too bad it was one of the diesel gate ones, and I cant roll coal haha! Awesome work guys!

[@BoostedCajun]

😯 you’re for sure lucky. Glad you’re gonna fix her up and her back in service.

[@HammerheadWOC]

You have the power deiseal and boost on your side. You can't lose!

[@R3Cat]

You guys need to put some dogdarn aerospace style lockwire on those bolts!!

[@justinmalone8518]

I can’t wait for you guys to blow up..keep on keeping on

[@Wolf92114]

Some advice, make a manual runaway shut-off butterfly that gets fitted infront of the turbo, so if you ever have a runaway motor you can actually save the engine. Other than that i would say this is the perfect diesel build!

[@sarrassgaming1537]

No need for that. It's a manual gearbox, you can just stall it if it runs away.

[@Wolf92114]

Damn. Lucky. For a moment I thought the curse of the single rotor was kicking in! Glad all is well.

[@aaronwilkinson4074]

if you can keep those cam bolts in I would say about 60psi and the head will lift and push the head gasket out

[@acurarl9929]

The car is super sick guys great job again on that. It’s bad ass.

[@IAmAtEpic]

depends if you add more fuel then maybe 65psi but if you leave the fuel alone around 53psi

[@traxxasslash95]

Ready to see this thing turned up

[@FairladyS130]

That damaged bolt looked like it had no locking device or loctite to hold it in. When damage was first mentioned I thought, well something in the drive train has let go.

[@gtgodbear6320]

Now you need to build a 3.80 2JZ. Just get the stroker crank and the right bore to equal exactly 3.8 L. That would fit a 380z a lot better. If at all possible.

[@mrvector257]

The "MAX" amount of boost to blow it up? Infinity PSI :P

[@UsedLegacy9]

Just wind it up until it blows, then back it off a smidge . Also works great for finding max timing.

[@romanplocki6091]

Awesome build guys. Really enjoy watching your videos 👍

[@imbackgte]

Usually om606 block will crack at 73ish psi (5bar) and at 78psi (5.4) gets splitted by the middle of the clynder

[@slevente00]

I really hope it'll keep on working from now, the sound is amazing. I saw a video on tiktok where it took 72 before blowing up instantly, poor thing.

[@paulwilliams7816]

Truly a lucky break with that bolt. And for boost I think it'll max out at about 55 psi

[@mattmott9743]

As long as your EGT’s don’t melt it down I think it’s good for 60psi in short bursts 😉
