Years ago a friend had a former US Navy boat that had a 671 GMC in it. At the time he was in the Naval Reserve and he hunted around at the local naval base and found a manual. The manual was a US Navy Manual for 671 GMC engines. This was a manual produced for the crewman having to maintain and rebuild the engines. It was and still is the best manual I have ever read. It told you how to do things, what to look for, why and how the engine worked. Probably produced in the 1940s and out of print but someone might have one laying around. Well worth searching for!

Scott is such an amazing mechanic and gentleman. The amount of knowledge he carries is simply awesome. GOD BLESS YOU ALL ALWAYS 😇🔧🚢⚓🚍🐒

I've been a big fan and subscriber of Scott''s KZread for a while now, I'm an Aussie and I like both your's and Scott's Chanels. Good to see you and Scott mixing it up mate.

A story about a blower shaft: Back in the 90's I worked mechanicing on trucks but also helped a friend drive a few spring break bus tours...Going across I10 in Florida with a'72 Eagle, 8-71 the blower shaft let go...we pulled up the back floor and got the shaft out, the spline teeth were sheared off but there was a little bit left on the end. We had no other shaft so I put a dime in behind it to get the remaining spline teeth to engage the blower spline. It ran all the way back to Canada.

that guy is a detroit king what a legend ..... very informative wow

I must say the steel trawler playlist you have done is fantastic what a talented man keep the videos going very entertaining thankyou

Stu, that advice re the electric lift pump on the Detroit was spot on. I fitted one to my 1946 Cat D4 dozer and it was the best thing I have ever done/ I converted the dozer from Pilot (donkey/pony) start to electric start. That meant I would have been trying to start the old girl on no fuel pressure. With the electric lift pump I have working fuel pressure before I start cranking the engine. Brilliant. I might tell you that poor 73 year old dozer has to earn its keep here, so it is no hobby toy. I might also say that the old dozer and I were born in the same year.

Really good vid. Highly dense with knowledge and information. Excellent interview. The sound of the engine in the cab is so good.

Great video, I own several 53 series Detroit’s and it’s great to listen to someone explain how a Detroit works.

Love the banter you could just so easily relate to the stories told. This is just what makes life so interesting and the future with these guys channels look awesome. Aloominumnum 😂😉👍👍

Hi, Looking at both your channels and always looking forward to new videos, can I say it better than that, Thanks to both of you for taking us along.

Brilliant, really enjoyed that, such enthusiasm for the old girls, and really happy in his work, I'd say he's forgotten more than we'll ever know!

I subscribe to both channels just like others have mentioned. I could watch these two together all day. Stu is powering his steel trawler with a 4-71 Detroit. This is like watching two magicians discussing their trucks. Detroits don't leak. They just mark their territory.

I install gas meters in the UK. When we replace the regulator and meter we always use new seals. First thing you've gotta do is check that you've got the old washer completely off, or the new seal will never seat properly. It may seal for long enough to hold on your tightness test but not for any real length of time. Then you're in the shit.

The rectangular box bolted to the blower inlet is an air silencer. They have insulation in them to help quiet down the noise of the blower rotors. We would always replace them at rebuild time. Also you definitely want to use a sealer between the blower housing and the end plates. I used Loctite anaerobic sealant p/n 51813 but I have also used aviation Permatex. If you don’t use a sealer you will have an oil leak from the large oil drain holes that are in the end plate (approximately 5/8” - 3/4” or 16mm- 19mm) where the meet the the blower housing. I also put liquidTeflon thread sealant on all the bolts that are not into blind holes as well as the copper washers, and dressed all the gaskets with the anaerobic sealant on one side and glued the other side to the block or larger part. We Dynomometer tested our engines and used dye and a black light to check for leaks.

There is so many things I could tell you about building the blower but mainly make sure you stamp mark all the parts as you disassemble them and be sure to wire the shims behind the gears to the gears for reassembly. (Usually you can use the same shims to get the proper “C” and “CC” clearance.) We used the turbo blower seals that are double lip Teflon but there is a special tool to install the seals and sleeves to the correct depth. Just make sure you follow the manual closely in regards to the omitted serrations and clearances of the rotors and housing. I wish I could afford to go down there and help you with your project.

Great video,love seeing you guys work together!!!

Some blower intake gaskets have screen on them.

Stew, if you don’t have a aairbox shut off then you need a home made one. Something like a board with a piece of carpet glued on so you can seal off that’s air intake, of course making sure that you can get to a open air intake. This is not for just for new start it’s for always in case you have a governor failure or a stuck injector as mentioned. If you are going to set up the engine yourself you really need to get a hand held rev-counter and a tune up tool kit so you have the go-no go feeler gauges and other special tools that are used to set gaps like governor gap for example. I ran a fleet of 6 Terrex twin engine scrappers in the 70,s in Africa and we fixed every thing in the “bush” they had 6-71 engines With Allison outdo shift boxes. Loved those engines, hated the transmissions,

Yep, it's true, the goal is to keep your diesel engine slightly above sea level. If the engine becomes below sea level, that's a sign that something might have gone seriously wrong with the boat. If the engine becomes many feet above sea level, that's much worse. Check for any indications of a very large explosion.

Good to hear to someone who really know his stuff and great to see you catching up with other KZreadrs. Definitely carry a spare starter, I have changed several at sea, alternators are no so much of a problem as once the engine is running it will get you home even if there is no charge, I did have a pulley shear off an alternator which stuffed us as it also provided tension to the raw water pump but that was once in 40+ years at sea. You are only going to get displacement speed out of your trawler, probably 7.5 knots so adding a turbo won't alter that.
