Congratulations!! You just installed the weakest most noisy Detroit engine ever built!! Should have put an LS instead… Now you can track the truck if its ever stolen, the oil leaks will lead you to it!!
Oh, that beautiful 2-stroke-cycle music! Could've recorded a little more after after she fired up, couldn't you have?? I want to put a 4-71 Jimmy in an old 1-ton truck and make music like that!
I have the same bike mine is the 1981 Rm125x .I had this bike when I was 15 I just turned 56 and I still ride on the Mx tracks but I would love to ride wher your at looks like a great place to rip have fun my Rm bro
@@LifesLaboratory that's not a factory engine. That is a 453 Detroit Diesel dropped in there from the 50s They don't have glow plugs Detroit two-cycle engines never did. Basically they have to heat up the oil on the grid or else use ether to get them going. This was a classic cold start unplugged and he did not use ether just to see how long it take to start that old 2 cycle
@@truckerkevthepaidtourist Again, how does this relate to my comment that "If your vehicle won't start at this temperature on the first try, it has issues." This person lives in a cool climate (there's snow on the ground), making this engine a very poor choice and thus an issue. Where I live, I need an engine that can start at -30C without assistance (below that I will use the block heater if electricity is available). Hell, my snow blower has no issue starting at -30C with a pull cord.
Hey, is there any way I could get a build sheet for this and a rough estimate on how much you spent doing it? I've been wanting to do the same build on my 03 3/4 ton Chevy, but I'm not sure where to start.
