Testing My Patience to its Limit - Buttoning Up the International Truck Engine

[@jimnewt9432]

Don’t ever think your work is not appreciated, I’m a boomer that watched my older brother do his magic working on engines. You keep his memory alive in my my mind, and for that I am forever grateful.

[@paulnelson5765]

One of the very best content makers on Utube. A local high school shop class would be blessed to have you as a teacher for those young minds. You have a rare gift my friend.

[@lawrencetaylor2789]

Good morning Pete! It must seem bizarre to you and Hillary that so many people look forward to your videos. I'm 65 and grew up in the "Beach Boys" California. Back in the '60s and '70s it was still very much HEAVILY agricultural and still very free! I grew up around all types of farms, both agricultural and livestock. And the way they did things back then, still is pretty much what you're advocating now. Just wanted you and Hillary to know that it's very soothing and calming to whatch you work, watch your animals, watch your farm thrive! Plus you are an awesome teacher!!! Been watching you for little over four years now and it never gets old. I know, sometimes you worry about this, but just do what you do! Merry Christmas and a very happy and prosperous New Year!! God Bless!

[@Maze-MN]

I'm a woman who has no knowledge or frankly interest in mechanical engineering. However, I've become absolutely fascinated in watching the assembly of your engines. Your explanations are mind blowing and very educational.

[@harbortim1]

Merry Christmas Pete and Hilary!

[@jerrycampbell6181]

Pete , I had to laugh out loud at your comment! My son was a mechanic for about 12 yrs he always said engine designer's were evil and had no idea how to work on what designed !!!😂

[@madampolo]

With that rebuilt engine, I think that truck will run wonderfully for many years. It was a lot of work and time, but it will be well worth it!

[@whitneyhall4744]

Just terrific..after viewing video twice ( this slow learner always picks up a few points the second time through ) I realized how lucky we all are to have instruction with knowledgeable patient audio coupled together..many thanks

[@JohnDunne001]

Ah, Sundays. I do love this part of Sunday where JaFAF drops a video!

[@carlolson1203]

Wonderful journey you are on and thanks for taking us along.

[@annalorree]

What a wonderful early Christmas present! Thanks, Pete!

[@brucerazor5202]

Pete, your patience amazes me. You have a blessed day.

[@Squigglydodah]

I love this kind of authentic auto work. take your time, done right is done once. I'm so tired of hearing loud shouty channels pushing the old cliche "we've got 2 days to do a million dollar build for SEMA! will we make it?!" who cares. I'll be watching Pete chat with Patty and work on his international.

[@redrockroger]

Yes, I am getting tired of the "get it done quick for some show" videos. Pete's style is MUCH more enjoyable. Go Pete!!!

[@oldmanrock7542]

They do the same thing with these home rebuild shows. Some of them are getting sued because the homes are now falling apart.

[@flyoverjoe19K]

Really enjoy watching your videos. Good to know others struggle with engineering decisions as I often do!

[@johnwood738]

Good Sunday morning to Pete. Wanted to watch earlier, but I was busy driving my sister to work. Her car is in the shop now my week can start the way. It should with a video from Pete.

[@rolandpinette9946]

Of course this comes with rewards, but to earn the reward you have to expend a tremendous amount of patience. You passed with flying colors, Pete! That's a good life lesson for all of us!

[@peterollinger2584]

Hi Pete. My name is Pete as well. My father had me late in life. He isn't no longer with us. Been gone for yrs. I'm 48 yrs old. He work on these back in the day when this stuff was built. I remember as a kid and my older half sibling talk about him and the old IH trucks and tractors. I also grew up around on farms and small farms. You are keeping his memories alive. I'm starring to get into the small farm stage of my life. You have been a good help to me. I enjoy your videos alot and to the keyboard a**holes that think they need to be critical of you. That's not right. You take time to document your stuff for us to enjoy. So a big thank you Pete!!

[@KenC49]

Good morning Pete! I really like this series! It's very interesting. I always thought all the oil had to go through the filter before going back to the oil pan. Crank shaft pulley soup would be so tasty. But it would take months or years of boiling to make it tender. Lol. Had a good laugh when you said it needed curry powder. Lol

[@tim2140-c7z]

Thank you Pete and Hillary! Merry Christmas to your family!! ❤

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

I'm 81 and had my share of "Corn Binder" trucks. loadstar 's etc. but only had to replace one engine, a 345, as many have said here its a joy to watch and even at my age learn something new. even though I'll never get to use it. it's always nice to watcha nd learn. thanks for sharing Pete Hope you Hillary and family have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy Healthy and Prosperous New Year! ECF.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Merry Xmas to Pete,Hilary and family...

[@AFFarms444]

Loved it! Lots of behind the scenes work and editing. Top notch! Thank you!

[@kenallen2661]

Thanks Pete for your Time and how detailed they are. Cant wait to see your new shop go up, im sure you cant either. Happy Holidays to you and your family, i hope you all have a great time together.

[@MichaelAllanTorrey]

Happy Sunday Pete, Hil and family. Fine attention to the gasket tolerances. Most DIY mechanics don’t realize how important that is. Also the joining of perpendicular gasket surfaces. A Very Merry Christmas To All Of You!!!

[@ejharrop1416]

Thankyou for another interesting update. The end is not yet it sight but the journey is the best part. I appreciate how much effort you put into the engine and also being the cameraman, director, producer and editor of a very well done video, congratulations on all fronts. What we saw today would be a year or more for me and I am ok with that, well at my age. 😅. Thank you and dare I say Merry Christmas or happy holidays to all. Peace.

[@overwatch2671]

Another great video, Pete, videos like this satisfy my tedious nature. Some call it OCD. I call it paying attention to detail. Have a Merry Christmas. See you next week

[@michaelholm9784]

I always learn so much from your approach to these mechanical issues. You remind me of my father when he would overhaul his tractors and show me why he would do certain things. Thank you

[@markham6000]

Pete. Your series for this project is interesting and presented well. Thanks for your time, patience, and effort.

[@genewileyopa]

Enjoyed watching. Lots to do to get one back together. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to all.

[@LiSa.N.J]

I still have Dad's "Parts" pot too! Wow Pete, watching your rebuilds brings back a lot of fond memories. I even looked down at a few scars left on my hands and smiled. Yep, good times working in the shop with my Dad. Thanks Pete. I hope your family have a wonder Christmas! Stay warm. It's even snack face cold here in southern New Jersey today. Brrrr

[@billrey8221]

It sure is nice to see that oil pan go back on.......almost done!

[@anitaodom5155]

Why does an old woman like me watch Pete's engine rebuild videos? Because of Pete's explanation of the inexplicable 😅. Merry Christmas, Pete, Hilarie, Ezra😻, Patty🐮, and crew!

[@kyndrakoomsa3743]

Fascinating Mr Pete😮. Following along with your intricacies and KNOWLEDGE is a treat ❣️. Please continue these tutorials 😍 they're invaluable for the years to come 🎉

Merry Christmas and a huge way to go to Pete and Hillary from a viewer in the bluegrass of ky ! You Go !! Woo. Hoo!

[@jmistret419]

Have a merry christmas. Cant wait to hear that engine purr

[@stevemccoy8138]

Good Morning Pete , You have a way of making all this mechanic work look easy, but I know it is not. Really exciting for me to see the old machines fixed up and running again. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you folks .and Thanks again for Sharing your story. 😊

[@tjw4947]

Pete love this rebuild, reminds me of all the old cars I worked on with my brothers as a kid. I'm also amazed by the old school engineering lock washers everywhere, felt seals, canister oil filters, and all those cork gaskets. Hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year.

[@oldcars5547720]

Pete, you are simply the best. Assembling this engine is virtually identical to my 235 Chevrolet 6. One difference is the two lower assembly screws for the front pan that surrounds the timing gears over the front of the engine go back to front through the front main seal cap. Because of this you have to pull the oil pan to remove the timing gear cover. Yours seems to be different. There is a little oil pipe with a weep hole that protrudes through the block just above the timing gears that lubricate the gears. These are such neat old engines. I really enjoy watching these videos. Merry Christmas to your entire family.

[@KathleenGordon-ed9nm]

Pete, thanks for another great video! I especially appreciate your patience. You soldier on through your various frustrating moments without any temper explosions, or at least none that you include in the video. I also like your calm, detailed explanations. Again, great job!

[@LoreGordon]

Pete, you sound frustrated, but please don’t be. You’re careful explanation provides so much insight and learning even to a non-mechanic like me. Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you next week.

[@jimsteele7108]

Thanks Pete, another fun watch.

[@larryramsey6892]

Old trick to make sure the oil pump primes was to pack the gears with Vaseline. Great video.

[@JustaFewAcresFarm]

Yeah that's an old trick. Engine assembly lube works great for getting the pump to prime. Also, I plan an "pre-lubing" this engine via an external pump connected to the main oil gallery before first startup, same as I did with the Farmall MD.

[@steverichardson2224]

All I can say is thank you for the video, "Persistent Pete"! Wow!!! Murfreesboro, TN

[@shawnwright2356]

Outstanding video. Please show us how you build the engine test stand when the time comes. I think running the engine on a test stand is a great idea because of all the fluid leak possibly. Well worth the time and effort. It seems all manufacturers come up with goofy ideas from time to time.

I believe that old truck will run again. Nice job.

[@sethwolpert1391]

The lid to my turkey roaster is the same as that oil pan cover. Jezzzzz. That engineer surely needs spoken to!

[@billywird]

Yes sir, just about halfway there. People do not realize that removing an engine and completely disassembling it, procuring the parts needed after the condition of the engine block, crankshaft, cylinder heads, is a time-consuming process and when one person is doing the work it takes even longer and really requires patience. My father was the same way you are in rebuilding an engine, and when he finished the job, he would set everything and shut the hood and drive the vehicle. He went over everything and of course he covered all of the things that you mentioned at the end of your video. When I go through an engine I do not allow anyone around me as I do not care to hear all of the sound bite shortcuts or the comments about why it takes so long. At present I am rebuilding a 350 Chevrolet engine for my 72 four wheel drive truck and not having done this work for a while it takes me longer but I am just at the point where you are, and as stated I am about halfway done as far as firing the engine. This will be a good series and this is one that my father would have definitely approved of. He had two Internationals a 49 KB1 and a 55 R120 as well as an International super C tractor. In fact it was looking at his work on the 55 International that inspired me to become a gearhead.🥸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kevinschroeder3889]

Merry Christmas Pete, Hilary and family. Merry Christmas to Papa Pete and Pete's mom. May you all have a great holiday season and get some rest and relaxation. Kind of surprised that you didn't buy a new to you tractor at the big Red auction. That's ok, you still have plenty of projects on the farm. Finish the truck, finish the 856, maybe swap the engines on the 656, maybe paint the loader on the 656 when you swap the engines, maybe restore the Cub tractor. Something to think about. Most of all, I love all of your videos. I can't wait to go to class and listen to Professor Pete. PHD Pete Larson Again have a Merry Christmas.

[@cranefly23]

[@SuperMAZ007]

Pete, if you think the IH rear main seal is bad. I will say there are some engine that have it worse. Using cork gasket all the way is a old design. Most manufacturers got rid of such setups in the early 60s. But some odd end manufactures maintain that until the late 80s. If I had one complaint towards IH than would be the pot metal rear main seal housing.

[@FredDent-m5b]

Hey Pete, have you ever heard of a radio show that used to be on NPR radio called Car Talk with the Tappet Bros.? They had a garage out in Cambridge,Mass. They would ramble on about anything cars. They also suggest listeners to call in with some of their car questions or troubles and they or their listeners could give feedback. I sure miss it. It was a funny and informative program.

[@douglasmorrison9098]

Im glad to see someone on here that believes in putting those harmonic balancers on the front of the crankshaft the correct way by boiling them in oil and then they just slide right on. Ive seen SO MANY on here beat and bang them on and dont realize they can destort the balanceon them by doing that. they are called HARMONIC BALANCERS for a reason and that being they are harmoonically balanced and if they will look at them they will see certain places on them that are drilled to remove metal and if you beat on them it will destort the balance on them and CAN break the front of that crankshaft off
