Cummins engine rebuild failure. Opening a can of worms

approval and we'll figure this out, man. Thank you very much, oh this is a problem. he didn't even

rebuild

the cylinder head, he just replaced a valve, did all that work and didn't spend the money to, you know, do all the work right. I will never understand because now he is paying me more money to do the job than it would have cost him to have me build the

engine

, that is what we are doing here on Earth, learning from our mistakes. Hopefully, this one won't be too painful. Matt, the plot thickens, these are things as a service.

Rider, you have to talk to people, so try to do that in the future, the more information you can.Gather especially in this type of job where you know the guy built his own

engine

and blah blah blah we have to remove the oil pan and front cover and start investigating it. He will probably also have to remove the oil pump. the thing that's behind the front, you know, the front cover has to come off, I'll go over to Dylan and take it out, okay, everyone, we've got these bums here off the Sim test machine, let's start breaking it down. below to see what we can find.

We thought we would first take off the oil pan on the front cover so we could try and verify if the oil pump has been placed in the pickup tubes on the right. If we don't. If we don't find anything there then we'll start digging even more after that well we have to pick up the tube so we remove the rear adapter plate from here and this is the camshaft which is the crankshaft and you can see we've been getting. engine oil to the camshaft here, so we shot down this comment that we're testing Sim and my son Joey and Dylan here found some things, we just took the front cover off of this and we have a loose bolt here.

I've had some loose bolts on the pump, the pump wasn't tightened all the way so it could be sucking air in from the side, oh look at this, there's another loose one here, this is what it tells me, uh uh uh uh, look how. That bolt is dirty and it's inside the engine and yeah it's hard to see, but every bolt here, I mean look at my finger on the cam gear, yeah, it looks like it has old diesel oil in it, it's not primed. Anyway, there's no way I'm absorbing anything and if you look, it looks like I'm sitting here but not down here.

This part of this oil pump is made to press against the block here and seal. There is a specific torque. Sequence for this and if you don't follow it it won't seal and all you're going to do is suck air out of the crankcase that's not what you want you know it comes out of an engine you said. Hey, I just rebuilt this and found out the head replaced a valve, he said, uh, I took it to the machine shop, they checked it, look at the back of that valve down there, oh God, it's all R, it's all good, let's get it a Boris viewer. oh my god, better catch it now before i turn it on, oh my god, there you go, my motors don't spin like that, oh geez, that's got a lot of resistance, it's got a tight spot, whoa, let's take a look there that's nasty come back inside oh yeah there's nothing wrong with that seat she there and here we go what's all that's like drops of water uhhuh uhhuh man it's got a new scratch that's dirt look at all that dirt hanging on the wall Lou what is it The deal is there's definitely punctuation marks on that wall and there's definitely dirt, look at that shit sitting there, okay, this guy needs a motor.

I wouldn't stay behind this without ter. I'm not even going to try it. I'm like yeah. we want to remove a rod cap very quickly. I don't want to do anything until the guy decides we're going to build it. I don't know what to say, he's fine, he's been a pretty good guy and let's go see Dave, how is he? Everything is going pretty well on my part. I hope you have a good Easter weekend, but since I'm on the phone with you, I think the fourth or fifth time the news just got worse and worse.

You open that link and yes, I took some photos, one hole I'm looking at is cylinder number six, the other thing is that this engine has dirt everywhere. You know I'm making a video. I like it. take my hand on the ham gears and stuff like that, you know, they weren't cleaned properly and there's sand and dirt on them, there's loose bolts on the front, there's loose bolts on the front cover, which is great that we removed the front cover removed because they probably would have vibrated within 50k or less and I would never have caught it on my SIM test machine and those little bolts that hold the back of the front cover on the block would have come out and come out locked in the gears of timing and man that would have destroyed this engine, here's the thing man you're spending too much money for me to tell you this is you know it's on fire you need to stop and get away from this.

So what am I going to propose to you? You can come here, meet me and see the store or something. I think you had to let us build you an engine. We can use your core. I do not do it. I still don't know anything that's wrong with your core, but of course, and this is what I mean by core: you know the block can't have cracks, the crank can't be damaged, the cam has to be good, and the head . It cannot have cracks. The reason we believe the engine was not producing oil pressure is that it did not have the oil pump there properly and it was sucking air between the casing and the pump, it seems to me, as I address and polish this block that you have returned only with polishing oil or something like that, you know because the oil here is dark in this engine.

I can give you a price on our monster engine, a long block, and I'm going to go back to my guy and say, "You know we still have the cape to take the engine out." I don't know if you want us to put the engine back in, but you know if you want me to run it during You, I can do that too, buddy, but you know it's going to cost you money and I don't know what your budget is. I'm trying to be nice to you, what do you want to do? Yeah, like I said, man, whatever we need.

All you have to do is get it going, get it going and I can get rid of it. I want to do a good job for you and you know it and you want it because you're too far down the rabbit hole. will be the way to go, but now we have to check all your other parts, like your turbo. You know everything you need to run this thing that you started and it's in the back of your truck. Take care, man, we'll put a big motor in you, one of our monster motors, uh, my son has developed these two sons of mine and we'll give you a price for one of those and we'll talk to you by Monday Tuesday at the latest, okay? thanks guys have a nice day you too yes this is unfortunate but this happens more often.

You know, I know that people want to do their jobs and only you know if you are capable of doing it. I mean, that's what they might be very capable of doing and I would never want to stop it. someone seems like a great young man. It will be a good end to the week if we can make it happy. Thank you. How did you take the news? You know, he's actually a really nice guy. I mean, he just wants it done, in fact, that was his word. You know, I just want to do it right, yeah, so I can sell it and now we can give him something good and if he even sells it, he.

You're going to get a good product for the buyer, so what I need you to do is do a complete inventory of this because you're going to put the engine back together, turn the key, lift it up and start it up. MH, I know. It's like I'm bringing you a bucket of screws and I want you to put it all together, but you've already made enough messes, I mean, that's what it is, we can figure it out, it's not a problem. and for now, shut that engine down on something and I want to give you a quote before I tear down its core.

Yes, I don't want to spend any more of your money until you know this is what you're going to do. It really cost, yeah, okay, peace, friend, thank you.
