In part 2 of our DIY diesel engine rebuild, we continue the disassembly all in the cockpit of our sailing catamaran....
We ran into a few hiccups where we didn't have the right tools but with a little creativity and some help from friends we made what we had work.

Your ability to mechanically persevere without hesitation or "I can't" conversations is most impressive.

@russellgilson4072 4 года назад

Fearless, follow the manual and don't give up. A true pioneer, guys with your spirit drove their covered wagons westward !

@M-DBarton 4 года назад

As a former aircraft mechanic that has overhauled numerous engines, I can say that you're doing a great job with the tools that you have. You should be very proud when that engine once again roars to life.

@mickymoto100 4 года назад

What happen did you hand it over to the FAA, just wondering I'm a A&P mechanic too.

@marklewin6199 4 года назад

Billy, you are an example of people that can do. Never be afraid to try something yourself. Hopefully, there were no parts left over. I use to take the dash off of a '69 Roadrunner. There were always parts left over when I put it back together. I just threw them in the glovebox until the next time I pulled it. Hard to do that with an engine. Guessing all those parts are important. :-) At least now it is easy to video all of the steps as you disassemble something. Good luck and happy sailing.

@danerlich7393 4 года назад

A Yanmar 2GM is a fine engine and he is doing a very good job of it... Lovely that he can install a full kit including sleeve and new pistons and rings - it really will be a fresh motor again, hope the crank is good and the valves, guides and seats are good too... He is doing a methodical job and is being pretty respectful and careful of the process.

You’re a freaking beast man. Jesus. I’m a mechanic and I don’t think I’d attempt what you’ve done. Insane. Mad props.

Amazing! I can't believe you did that on a boat! You could have used a piece of wood to seat that crank, you know, hit the wood with the hammer. But easy to sit here and give you ideas. lol.

We used to use to 'soak' the sleeves in dry ice for a few hours before inserting them. Worked like a charm. Good job on the build so far!

I think this is hands down the coolest engine rebuild video I've ever seen. Fantastic video man. And what a ballsy project to take on in your cockpit!!! Great edit by Sierra!

@bassmith448bassist5 3 года назад

That's ballsy!!! First time engine build and you're using a beam type torque wrench. That takes some skill by way of knowing what "feels" right in addition to reading the torque on the gauge.

@markjennings2315 4 года назад

I always get my wife to help servicing the engine and everything else on the boat. All that yoga let’s her reach the awkward places and she likes sharing the stress and hassle of boat ownership. Well done for your self determination to do it yourself.

@timgoddard9193 4 года назад

Billy, that's what I'm talking about! You have done a great job with little resources and in the end, have shown with a dose of courage to undertake such a project and the smarts to work around obstacles one can successfully overhaul an engine on the back deck. It helps to have the manual.

@rons9197 4 года назад

Taking the engine apart is EZ , getting the parts and checking tolerances so you get a good rebuild is the difficult part. Your fearless attacking this job!

At 12:30 I believe what you were thinking about is a plasti gauge you put a small piece down and torque your bearing caps down and then take them off again to check your clearance.

@markhuisinga1698 4 года назад

Good job. I see so many people attempting a rebuild with a kit but no service manual. The manual can be the most valuable tool to have on your boat.

@jimmcgovern8783 4 года назад

Billy, I give you a lot of credit for rebuilding your diesel on your boat. You are creative and have a “can-do” attitude. I rebuilt the engine in my first car, a Ford 351 Cleveland in my garage when I was 15 years old. This brought back lots of great memories of taking that engine apart piece by piece, cleaning it all up, new bearings and gaskets and putting it back together. I had a Chilton’s manual to guide me through it. Can’t wait to hear that sucker run! Good job so far dude!

Just going to echo most of the other comments. Your a badass Billy! With a little ingenuity and a lot of determination you showed most anything is possible. Very impressive to rebuild a complete engine on the boat on the water.

@nickpohl6440 4 года назад

Doing a engine rebuild at sea is insane, however you have to do what you have to do to make it work. It’s awesome you are not afraid to accomplish such a big task. Rebuilding a engine is no joke when you have all the knowledge and tools to complete the project. You should feel proud of yourself.

Thank you so much for this video! I'm in the middle of an almost identical rebuild (3GM30 taken apart in the cabin sole of my E32), I am struggling with the cleaning. I would have liked to see more on how you got the parts clean enough (got off rust, caked grime, old paint, etc without sandblasting) what you used to clean with -both solvents and brushes-before prime/paint.

@Tulasendlesssummer 4 года назад

I didn’t take the injector pump off and the timing is determined by the shims it is mounted on so didn’t have to do anything there. I just had to make sure I lined up the timing marks on the gear on the crank shaft and camshaft which was very straight forward and easy
