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.

[@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

[@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!

[@1slow370]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@rubezahlmountainworks7974]

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

[@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!😉👍

[@jasepoag8930]

Fools. You forgot to slap the gears and say, "well that's not going anywhere!" Now it's going to go somewhere.

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

Every once in awhile, I youtube search "240z turbo", and then sort by most recent- to see what new turbo Z videos are out there. At the top of my list recently was yay, turbo diesel 240z is dun! And now theres a new video at the top of the list: "Welp. that didnt last long"

[@master21mark]

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

[@motoredbikemadness2061]

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

[@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.

[@crottemole]

You guys were lucky with that bolt!

[@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....

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@gregknott518]

Max boost number? It will be 1psi under what you gents set it at because...well...cars. Kaboom! Loving the build

[@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.

[@chuckfowler8875]

Always use the red lock tight on your converter bolts!!!!!!

[@jacobmoses3712]

Good advice but the 240Z has a manual gearbox

Friday video!!!!!!!!!!!! love this build. Great repair on the timing

[@MB_OM606]

OMG! Devon and Sam where spit roasting the Z! Haha

[@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.

[@danieldelamothe3949]

On the cam gear wear the put the pin in won’t that throw it off balance and cause more wear on the bearings and vibration

[@Ottienger]

That is definitely a scary feeling knowing something like that is floating in your engine and not where it needs to be. Really lucky it didn't cause more damage then it did.

[@TheHungrySlug]

Approves this build. Better build than the Cummings engine swaps everyone seems to be doing these days.

[@kiefersgarage6262]

Holy shit! That is lucky!!! Awesome stuff man! Hopefully it dont happen again. And is this really a 10k engine?

[@UnfocusedRacing]

Glad you were able to save the engine.

[@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.

[@weneakhborzable]

The car is looking ace! You got really lucky here!! I am stillllll waiting for some info about that w124 though!!

[@geoffmolyneux9173]

Clean bolt holes and bolts with brake clean. Loctite will bond better.

[@vinxander7443]

60 PSI seems like a firm breaking point IMHO.

[@AngelHernandez-ex7ji]

I’m so surprised you guys haven’t blown up

[@ryttke6750]

60 psi is insane boost but I'd love to see you try hit that

[@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!

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

[@justinmalone8518]

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

[@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.

[@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.

I think 80 psi of back pressure would kill it or around 65 psi of boost

Way to go boys

[@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 😎

[@imbackgte]

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

[@michaelblacktree]

I think those bolts could use some more Loctite. 😛

[@tim.iteland.9447]

Just cryogenic treatment for £250 on loads of parts , strength increase up to 35% , seriously . Great build by the way , a thing of beauty ( to me at least ) well done and good luck . next mod should be SUBARU x 4 drive train , or m5 1990,s 4 x or Quattro . maybe next year boys . great channel !

[@spacecase70]

This build is awesome, I think that it will blow at 55psi

[@Tom-Lahaye]

Very lucky this time, it's strange there is nothing in the way of lock washers or similar in that place. I guess that engine can take up to 60psi of boost, but does it destroy the transmission or rear end before it blows itself, I think it will.

So glad to the outcome of that wasn't to bad! Are you going to wire the bolts on the cam? I think it would be good to like 60psi. It won't like it, but i bet it could do it. I was reading they are good for like 40psi before you start thinking about headstuds and a proper head gasket.
