This week I continue with the boat refit of my friend's boat MV Zephrus. I refurbish the Perkins heat exchanger and get the boat closer to a sea trial.
Every week I'll also introduce a beer of the week, sharing some of my favorite, and not so favorite beers.
Travels With Geordie T shirts!
I've set up an online store where you can pick up the Travels With Geordie T shirt in all sizes, even toddlers!

Silicone grease works well with rubber. Auto manufacturers will list silicone grease on door weather seals to hydrate then to last longer before they crack, but used to keep the door from freezing shut in the winter. It works great. It is sold in pint size can with a brush applicator under the cap. If the vehicle is exposed to the sun, use a cheap painters tape on both sides of a clean windscreen mounting rubber, apply a little heavy, wipe with a throw a way cotton/terry cloth shirt as to push it into the pores of the rubber, wipe clean. If done once or twice a year, they will look new 20 years from now. Nice repair, great video on something you don’t see everyday. Sweet!

@deankay4434 3 года назад

Second note: Apparently your thermostat supplier does own a tape measure or vernier calipers to get the correct size. Could it be diesel v Gas, smaller stat for gas engine? Perhaps if an exploded view shows an insert ring the smaller thermostat sits in? Those customer service items are commonly thrown away with a previous owners repair. If any of the 4 thermostats has degrees C or F, take one into your local auto parts store and match one for a 60’s - 80’s V8 big block engine that is larger that fits your measurements. There should be a machines cut grove the thermostat fit into, making the gasket fit flush. The wax inside the brass bulb works the same for boats as it does cars. You already know this an apologize. With properly heated water, the engine will run better at WOT or at idle. Diesel’s use heat of compression to work, so having thermostat is best. Nice way to check your sea water pump as well.

JB Weld (epoxy) in pitting works very well in places like this. Used it to repair a hydraulic valve on one of my farm tractors that was NLA. 10 years later it's still leak free. FYI.

@53Peterbilt 5 лет назад

I was gonna suggest JB as well, to fill in those pits. However, if this were my boat, I'd be inclined to take them down to a machine shop (seeing that you have them out already), and have them resurfaced. Wouldn't take them long to do, (easy job), plus then you'd know for sure that the surfaces are true & correctly pitched for a proper seal = no more worries. Another great episode! Pet the pooch, and have a Merry Christmas!

@ckm-mkc 5 лет назад

Devcon makes a variety of fillers that are specifically for this. The most spectacular one is titanium filled and used to re-line M1 cannon bores (according to someone I know who used to do this apparently...). I've used it in engines, it's awesome if you need to rebuild a machined surface but also extremely hard so needs to be used with caution - itwperformancepolymers.com/products/devcon/devcon-products/devcon-titanium-putty and here on Amazon (no affiliation) www.amazon.com/Devcon-10760-Gray-Titanium-Putty/dp/B00065TM08 - they have other ones listed here: itwperformancepolymers.com/products/devcon

@TravelsWithGeordie 5 лет назад

I actually shot a sequence acknowledging than some would fill these pits with JB weld but I cut it out because I hate the stuff and may have said unkind things. Although I confess it’s saved my bacon on a few occasions. The proper fix here is really quite simple and is just machining the chamfer a little deeper. The loss of material will have no effect on the seal. This is what I’ll do when I rebuild mine. I had a time constraint with this one and it seems to be holding up fine.

@SootHead 5 лет назад

Will enjoy seeing that. I hope you can shoot the process!

I know your doing a great job getting my those engines back together. I would however really liked to switch over to keel coolers. My uncles old boat had one and it was almost zero maintenance. I had more clogged strainers and R/W impellers, and tube cleaning than I care to count. Keep up the good work it is fun to watch. Take care,

@TravelsWithGeordie 5 лет назад

@garyfairbrother5532 5 лет назад

MrCrabbing: I was yelling’ that at my iPad too but he never heard me. Much better as a filler than all the other advertised uses I think.

@TravelsWithGeordie 5 лет назад

Heh, I expected a few might suggest. I actually cut out a scene where I curse the stuff. In this case I could have just machined the chamfer clean and would have been assured a good seal. Turned out good anyway.

Permatex liquid steel will build up the surface so that it can be filed and sanded back to a smooth surface without sacrificing the base metal and changing the longitudinal dimensions...

@TravelsWithGeordie 5 лет назад

Might try that for the other exchanger.

@123456bpb 3 года назад

Common two part epoxy can be used as well to fill the small and larger pits then emory the bevelled "O" ring surface smooth. The epoxy should be thickened with silica. Remember when applying the epoxy that less is better and keep the epoxy out of the bore for the tube nest. Also, there can small differences in "O" rings. 1/8" "O" rings can be .140" or .125" as well as metric sizes. "O" rings when sized correctly are just slightly compressed when installed. If they have to be crushed to get the flanges closed, the "O" ring is the incorrect size.

@davemcgowan2731 4 года назад

When making a gasket use a small ball pien hammer and tap the edge to cut the gasket paper. Same for the holes.

Starts very well nice job, I bought silicon performance water hoses off a company in Driffield UK on ebay they do many different colors, sizes and variations of bends and reducing hoses for my old Ford Dorset all double clipped with stainless hose clips as per UK commercial fishing vessel regulation.

@johnobiro5202 4 года назад

@mikebiron7339 5 лет назад

Great job! For the sensor location, I know in automotive the reason its so close to the tstat, is so you can see when the tstat opens. I would watch the temp after servicing a car, and watch the temp climb and climb until (hopefully) bam.....tstat opens and temp starts to level off. Tstats are "mostly" to bring the temp up quickly in cold climates for the auto's heater to work quicker and bring the engine up to temp faster for use sooner. Running no tstat in a boat shouldn't be an issue.

@TravelsWithGeordie 5 лет назад

Thanks Mike. Great insights. I think you’re right.

@patrickjernigan1025 5 лет назад

Cool Peter glad your sorting it out to bad you have to scavenge off you're engine and true you can use metallized epoxy to fill in the pits and gently sand off until smooth rather than file you loose material and have less sealing area anyway have a great weekend and smooth sailing!!!

@bigunone 5 лет назад

No No No! You my friend work way too hard! When making a gasket from gasket material, hold said material flat on surface gasket it to fit on in your off hand holding it material in place, now take small ball peen hammer and using flat side lightly taparound the edges, using the edge of the part to cut said gasket material. Now using the peen side tap where bolt holes are now you may have to clean holes up a little, but you will make a much cleaner gasket with less chance of cutting yourself

@ckm-mkc 5 лет назад

I was going to say - I don't think I've ever seen anyone use a knife to make a gasket.

@TravelsWithGeordie 5 лет назад

So true Charlie! I actually cut the scene short where I say how much I hate making gaskets and that I should be using a ball peen hammer as is proper. But I just SUCK at that technique. The gasket material always seems to “walk” on the casting and to hold it securely I’m certain to bash an edge of a finger. Seems I’m a better carpenter than mechanic....
