International DT466E Coolant Leak from Timing Cover - Part 1

You're a good man, Wes. I think you are already giving back to your township and going above and beyond what is expected.

[@WatchWesWork]

Well somebody has to fix it. I guess it might as well be me.

[@lakesideranch]

Hey Wes! Much respect for you getting into a job with less than stellar conditions, and the unknowns associated with rust damage. I live in New England where equipment literally disappears from service due to the immense corrosion. A 10-year-old truck is basically written off as a total loss after the frame, driveline, fasteners, etc are no longer serviceable. Hopefully, you will emerge from this job with your sanity, and not take a beating on your labor hours and parts. Work safe, enjoy all your videos, always a great viewing experience. Be well Doug@ the "ranch"

[@WatchWesWork]

Well this truck was written off by the state who sold it to the county. Then they wrote it off and sold it to the township. That's the last stop before the melting pot!

[@luminox1]

Guys like you and warren are never going to be paid enough to go through this shit. Hats off to you

[@jeffreygoss8109]

I swear this is so much more than any mechanic should have to deal with. People have no idea that removing a single bolt can take hours and requires unbelievable skill. I’m always impressed with Wes’ ingenuity…but wonder why he doesn’t move south or west 😂

[@DhulstDirk]

I never really understood how good SoCal mechanics have it over you guys. Super huge market with literally millions of cars so you can specialize on one type of car only and still stay in business and zero rust in the cars. My little Toyota Camry is usually in and out of the mechanic shop in less than three hours. Still, the level of knowledge you have amassed from all of the challenging jobs might make it worth it.

[@Heatsauce70506]

That sucks. Man what a mess, this is why regular maintenance and cleaning is sooo important.

It's a pretty well maintained truck. But the cleaning part not so much!

4 mins in and I am thinking as it is just a timing cover, I was thinking JBweld. Aluminium welding would work but drill a small hole at the end of the crack to stop it going further. Its easy for someone to vbring a job in and say "Can you fix the oil leak". They dont realise half of the work that can go into a job like this. Well done on spotting where it is and what is causing it. Now to watch the rest. :).

Yeah everyone kept telling me to "fix it with jb". This is maybe THE worst timing cover job one can take on.

[@ianallen2]

@@cbthethird It is surprising what a can of worms opens up just from a 'little' leak. I have been there, done it etc, but only on cars. Years ago, I had a Ford Sierra (had about 8 total) and this was the only one I had with a CVH engine. I decided to service it the day before we went on holiday. I got it all done then decided to change the thermostat. Didnt want it to overheat in holiday traffic. I broke the ontake manifold wherethe thermostat was housed and had to go to a breakers to get anothwer one, then had to go back to get another carb as mine didnt fit. I didntthink we were going to go on holiday the next day. lol. But I managed it. 'Simple' jobs can turn out real bad.

[@j.c.smithprojects]

im with you...dont touch anything you dont have to on a rusty plow truck. what a great job....oil mess, coolant dripping and rust! does it get any better? at this point, you should jack up the radiator cap and put a new truck under it. those bolts are enough to make you have nightmares.....i dont think the hours of labor are going to be the doom of this job...it may be all the extra parts that now have to be replaced from the rust. i am not envious of this job. at least it is a paying job.

[@WatchWesWork]

These trucks have the worst possible conditions for rust. They spend all winter in the salt and gravel dust, then all summer sealing the rust in with asphalt. Then they sit most of the time. This truck has very low miles, but many they were hard miles.

" at this point, you should jack up the radiator cap and put a new truck under it." I think this is the best comment I have read .I love it. lol.

[@bcbloc02]

For cracks I have had decent success using irontite. I have kept several leaky blocks in service using it. Likely wouldn't have worked where that one was damaged though because of the expansion and contraction all the time. Those IH trucks and engines always were a bear to work on. I am glad our fleet at work now is Petes and Kw's with N14's. Everything is pretty easy to service and they rarely need attention.

[@WatchWesWork]

Well the one good thing about the IH engines is they are extremely common here since we are only 2 hours from the mother ship in Chicago. So used parts are everywhere.

[@Jeremy-iv9bc]

You look like you're doing pretty good. I'm a dealer tech at international. If you don't already know you need to heat that cam gear up and it will slide back on the cam, we usually use a toaster oven. Also make sure you replace the bolts for the idler gears and make sure you torque them correctly. I can get you specs if you need them. You don't wanna know what happens when they come loose lol. You didn't show if you liked up the marks before you pulled the gear off either way make sure you get the timing marks lined up correctly when you go back together, sometimes the cam moves a little when you pull the gear off so you may have to move it a tooth or so to get it to line back up.

[@WatchWesWork]

Well I lined up the crank and cam before I pulled it, but the idlers were just wherever they were. My book say to replace the upper idler bolt due to the sealant on the threads, but my dealer tells me they just use some high temp thread sealant and reuse them. I did have to order a 20mm 12 point 3/4 drive socket for the lower idler bolt that I will probably never use for anything else (thanks International...).

Man I could feel the anxiety welling up inside me while watching this because of the rusty jobs I've done.

I know the fun you are having with that, 90% of the stuff that comes through my shops the junk dealers don't want anything to do with, It's great if you like a life with challenges and no 2 jobs the same very often. I did a front crank seal on an older mechanical 466 in a fertilizer floater 10 years ago. The last guy put the new seal in the wrong way round F.F.S . I pulled the hood and rad I think It was like 14 hours when i'd got the front pump driveshaft off and everything done, you might be at 18 to 20 hrs going further. If the newer motors are the same, I remember this one i had to heat the bottom crank pulley in boiling water for something like 30-45 minutes to get it on, as they can crack on the key way otherwise from what I understand. you can't heat it in the oven without destroying the rubber damper material from what the book said. Hopefully it's ok after heating with the torch in the middle removing that washer. You might have fun getting that pulley back as it cools fast and the rad might make it harder to line up. i remember this one took a few minutes and it was tighter than I thought was good even with the boiling.. I had a dutch oven pot I built a stand for using a wheel rim with a pipe to the middle, and fired a big propane tiger torch in for heat. I wasn't allowed to do it in the kitchen on the stove L.O.L . doing it that way outside the shop I was only 5 ft from the truck to. Maybe some of the bolts in that case had a corrosion problem with steel and aluminium reaction, or they had permanent strength thread lock on, it looks like some have a resedue of some kind on the threads. I had a Perkins 1006 needed a new case and that was some corroded bolts and thread lock/sealer on certain ones not all of them. Hope it goes well finishing it, if you don't have a book find out about that pulley and thread lock / sealer on the bolts. Thanks for sharing, Take care.

[@WatchWesWork]

I do have a book. I remember working on one of those fertilizer spreaders once with a 3208 Cat engine and an Eaton 9 speed. It had bounced through so many rough field that the transmission had almost fallen out. The bell housing and adapter plate on the engine were toasted. Dropping the transmission was fun since it's basically at chest height and our jack only went about 2 feet high. I actually can't remember how we got it out.

It's actually really difficult for the townships to buy equipment. There are procurement rules they have to follow.

Watch Wes Work I am just amazed at your skills, your williness to “Get’r Done and your guts in taking on this and other tough jobs! May I ask how long this plow truck had been in service? Finally how do you remember how all those parts go back together?😱 Best wishes from Buffalo, NY! Roy Lewis
