[@patrick860]

Good work Andy. I have no idea what you should use that for, but it's awesome regardless! You looked like a proud father there handing out cigars! 😂

I was starting to get a little skeptical during all that cranking, but super happy she kicked off! Now what to do with it!? Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

I've got two of these, the originals, in my 1981, 36 ft Tri-cabin Trojan yacht. These things purr like kittens and I have used them to take my boat from MDR to Catalina Island eight times in the last 4 years. I maintain them and they run and start like they're brand new. Great motors. Thanks for the great and informative video!

[@FlatThunder]

That's pretty awesome! Most might find it hard to believe, but I have been to Catalina Island! 2016 vintage. Thanks for watching and keep on boating! 👍😁

[@mehmetdeluoglu]

Nice. I have one of these in my trawler. Just repowered last year

[@FlatThunder]

Seems like a pretty stout little diesel! Thanks for watching 👍😁

Great job getting the old girl started and running! The base engine is a Mitsubishi 6DS7. They were Good heavy all steel engines in 1980 terms. You just can't overheat them without serious problems. If you still have it and decide to sell I'd be interested in it.

[@FlatThunder]

Thanks! I will keep you in mind. So far she is just hanging out in my pallet rack. I have great ambitions of transplanting her into a classic truck, but I'm also about 5 major projects behind! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

[@FlatThunder]

I received more interest in someone purchasing this engine. What's an engine like this worth? I'm still debating if I want to keep it for a transplant. Thanks for the info

Cool video Andy. Had my share of the injector bleeding last weekend, what a pain in the !

[@FlatThunder]

Thanks Pete! Yeah it can become really cumbersome to get all the trapped air out of the lines. Especially with limited batteries and starter capacity. Thanks for watching my Friend 👍😁

Another good video Andy 👍

[@FlatThunder]

Thanks Donnie! I appreciate you taking time to watch. Take care my Friend 👍😁

I wish you were my neighbor! You always have sumthin cool goin on.

[@FlatThunder]

I think some of my neighbors might not appreciate it, but I try to have fun with it! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Nice job getting it running Andy! 😁👍 Glad to see its a good option to re-power a project 🔧🔩

[@FlatThunder]

I'm happy it was a worthwhile save! The gears are grinding on what and how I can utilize this powerhouse. Thanks for watching Zane! 👍😁
