7:10 Our dude is out here single handedly putting hernia doctors' kids through college.

Did a crank nut on a 6 banger honda accord. 1/2in drive with a jack tube and I was hanging off it. Not only that, I had 2 or 3 extensions just to get to the nut and they were on a jack stand and a block of wood. The whole thing was twisting 90deg and when that nut broke loose I thought someone fired a gun. POW! I felt it resonate up through my cheater bar and into my arms like a cartoon. Thought I won. Nope, it just moved a little. Reset and did it all again 3 or 4 more times until I could finally move it with just the 1/2in drive. It was also a reverse thread. Glad I got that right the first time.

I worked at a crane place for a little bit. Took apart seized outrigger hydraulic cylinders by clamping them in a huge vice that was on a bench that was bolted to the floor, and attaching a 10t overhead shop crane to the end of a 4' pipe wrench on the nut. It was ridiculous

Hi Ave, Jeff at Jpaydirt put the $290 Harbor Freight 1" Earthquake air impact up against a $1400 IR 40V electric and IR air impact and was removing bolts from his D9 lower track rollers that the IR air impact wouldn't even touch and the 40V electric struggled to remove just a few. Those bolts were in for 26 years. The Earthquake spun them out like butter. Jeff's words. 🙂

A tip for the big end caps, pull the bolts out until about an inch is left in, and squeeze them together. This gives some purchase to wiggle and pull with. Also, wiggle in line with the crank (up and down in your vid); you have plenty of leverage in that direction.

Ah the lesser spotted blue tinge crank in the wild!

7:15 man that click is the most satisfying sound ever.

I knew of a used car dealer (N.A. Terrebone Motors, Raceland, Louisiana, yes, long out biz) who put paper behind the bearings of an old Chevy (I actually saw him measuring the two types of paper to get the right shim stack). I also saw him brazing the ever-living-f@#& out of another chevy block (he told his mechanic to not bother with anti-freeze/coolant, and it froze enough to blow out the sides of the block) His mechanic refused to do much of what he wanted done to things to sell them on to some sucker. Eventually the Mech found another job.

I do so enjoy your videos

I've personally polished a 1994 Ford 300 inline 6 crankshaft's rod journals with a shoelace and 2500 grit sandpaper. Then I replaced the rod bearings with standard size stock bearings. Before the operation the engine had zero oil pressure and a collapsed lifter as well as a few rod knocks. Afterwards it had no rod knock but had good oil pressure and the lifter came around after driving it around the trailer park. Guy has put over 10k miles on that truck since. I'm more proud of that truck than anything 😂

Love the adjustable hammer,uncle BF

Just came inside from the shop after a long evening of too many beers and far too many questions between a friend and I while tinkering with an engine. We finally had enough and called it a night. Now that I see this video, I must not have had enough.

More vids, nothing fancy, just check in and show what’s happening ! Thought for sure it was left hand thread, but doubted you wouldn’t have checked. I enjoy your vids cause they’re good for a laugh and nice to see what other guys are doing.

One thing I do now that I'm 55. I will sit and stare at a problem until I think my way out of it. Just go over in my head all the problems I have overcome and eventually patience pays off. I get great satisfaction from this. Unlike my younger days where I would let the verbiage and tools fly through the air. This video reminded me of my experience and I felt your jubilation when the bolt loosened. Cheers

Love the stickers I got!! Awesome quality on them they should definitely hold up for some time

Good to see you back, buddy.

I tried the home-polished crankshaft on a 4G54 that had eliminated a bearing once, back in about 1994. Road car. '83 Dodge Challenger. (Rebadged Mitsubishi Galant.) It lasted about 1000 km. Went to the junkyard and pulled a crank out of another engine that had already been rebuilt, the crank was in pristine condition at 0.25mm under. That "second" build *still* runs great, I just ran it last weekend. Still purrs like a kitten... :)

Thats insane. That engine looks brand new!

Twernt me that done it but I've heard from a trusted friend of soft copper pipe being used for big end rod bearings in a pinch .

AvE would be a dream science teacher for the youth of the world

Welcome back! Have heard of a replacement bearing being sourced from a long dead bullock hide in North Western Queensland.

Uncle Bumblefuck! you're back! was gettin a lil worried!

All hail safety sandels! Farmercobble is informative and entertaining.❤

Recently i got to the end of travel of an beat up Suzuki sidekick sopedometer, think it was 170 kph and still had 500rpm more on her (that morning I've driven 200km in 4 low on snow over ice, it was a long day). Half an hour later the thing started knocking, no oil. Got to the next city and got me some 2 liters of 20w50 at 2 in the morning, sold in soda bottles in a self service car wash. Still had 700km to the nearest powder snow so in my next questionable decision we kept on going and it gave up in a oil town in the middle of nowhere. Took me 4 days to get a tow consisting of a flatbed trailer pulled by a ford ranger, so plenty of time to talk as it climbed the hills in 2nd. Towing dude told me that he used to work a 80s f100, it started knocking so he dropped the carter, put a strip of gasket maker paper behind the bearing and that Perkins worked two more years

Sons Mitsubishi l200 after spinning a crank bearing eventually lodged into itself breaking the crank but oversized the bearing cap considerably. Unable to get replacement we decided to grind down the cap legs - where it bolts to block essentially made it shorter we peened the bearing mount block side until you could just feel small resistance when fitted up with crank and bearings in place (no plastic gauge here) was sweet when running. Sold to a family member who said 2 years and it’s still fine on my crazy repair Super happy with that.

He absolutely chooched that!

Don't know about anyone else. But skit got very real there at the end. 😂

Youre a better mechanic than most.

Word to the wise on that crank pulley. If you're into it that much then it's a safe bet you're not going to throw the old v belt back on it so cut it to size to protect your pulley so that your pipe wrench isn't chewing up the edges. If it's protruding into the notch then you might wind up chewing up your new belts as it slides into the notch every rotation.

That strap crow bar squeezer arrangement scared the bejesus outta me. I'd need to put on full steel body armour before I'd do that one.

Some Honda crank bolts were like that. We used an Ingersoll Rand 3/4 inch impact on them. They were duly humbled by that impact. Fuck with the bull, get the horn. Lol

Auto Dave wil aprove your work❤

That crank bolt stronger then my own will to live!

I'm big time dog guy, but fire truly gives them a run as far as being man's best friend🤷

I built up some big end bearings on a Suzuki 850 petrol mini van with solder and filed them down to a guestamte size, I heard 10yrs later was it was still running sweetly !
