That's an amazing work. I like to see how delicate and precise is the Japanese work, different from other restoration we find in other videos. Great video, great work. Congrats!
I like that you cleaned it and made it work correctly. I am not a fan of making old tools look new. Clean, preserve, and restore function. You did that here. Thanks for sharing.
Most people would throw this is the trash, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if that's where you got it from. Great job getting this running again. It's not an easy thing to do. I can tell you could use a few tools, and that you are certainly still learning and increasing your mechanical skills, but good job never-the-less. Continue working hard, and you'll get even better.
This motor looks like it was found at the bottom of a lake. The oil looked somewhat clean which surprised me. Very meticulous work, almost slow motion at times. I don't think I've ever seen a bolt repair like that.
Great job getting this engine running. Any idea of this engines hp? Are old engines hard to find in Japan? Thank you for making this video. Cheers from Canada. Willy
i have to warn you about one motor that takes forever to fix and i have only had to do it once before. The motor i repaired was a dodge 440 big block and it took me 2 months to rebuild. I cant help but think that I should have left it in the junkyard.
Una imagen vale mas que mil palabras... más en este video que es de un japonés. Excelente la reparación de ese motor, como se nota la calidad de un motor Mitsubishi.
I have watched at least 3 posters un-instaling flywheels and other shaft mounted components...with taps and heat and Kentucky windage. Am I the ONLY person around with a spider-type gear puller? Hell mine are cheap, got a set of 3 at Harbor Freight. But they were good enough to get the huge flywheel off of a 1974, 6HP Tecumseh....
I wish I could get one of these here in the states. I like those little agricultural engines. By the way, why are there 2 lines coming out of the gas tank?
Ngoc Anh Hoang I think he means at 5:24 when the head was reinstalled to the block there were no push rods and none were ever shown being installed... I wondered the same thing. Was it a no compression... oh... crap... moment?
Great job, started really well and idled smoothly, one question, the engine appears to be liquid cooled ( no air cooling fins ) but did not see any sort radiator, there was what seemed to be an extra tank on top perhaps that was for coolant??
Yes i figured that must be for coolant, most engines like this are air cooled. my guess the start up on the video was not it,s first after the rebuild??
Hello 👋 my friend hope you are well ,? And I see how you can feel your way with the metal. When your tightening a bolt or a screw your feeling if it’s going to give and crack right ?...your feeling it as you go and I also took notice of how you reface your valves the tapping of valves helping it to seat properly, that’s smart !, Your a thinker and that’s very good it’s hard to work with the cast iron and sometimes the white metal can Be brittle and snap just like that and it’s good you have that fore site,,”! Thank you 🙏 Blessings . .⛩💮💮
