"It was a tight fit, but after a 2-hour long battle positioning this engine just right, we managed to drop it down onto the mounts."
"Spanners are spinning as a team of hard-working mechanics are on a deadline to give these monster trucks a new lease on life."
"Once we get it pulled loose, we can pull that starter out, and actually, that'll be all that's holding this motor to this transaxle."
"Everything's ready, the rebuild is done, new bars, controls set back correctly, new pipe."
"Rebuilding one of these things isn't rocket science but it does take a few special tools and a little bit of know-how."
"This is a very complex piece of kit to take apart it's not but it does require the proper tools."
"Once your bolts are snug and your engine is in its proper place, it's time to torque the bolts down."
"Now it's the moment of truth 'cuz we're going to put a socket on the front crank PL and see if this motor actually spins."
"Sometimes it's just the simple things that can fix a car."
"It's all happening people, it's happening! The car is going back together, it's been a long time in the making."
"So with that done and out of the way before we put the intakes back on we need to get our charge piping back on these go in super easy."
"Let's do that but first let's disconnect the fuel pump."
"Once you've removed all the tamper locks we can get to removing the remnant core but that process can be very wrong."
"The engine is officially out of the truck now. It's time to tear it down, find out what's going on with it, find out what went wrong, fix it, put it back in, and motor on down the road."
"It's mostly just detaching the air cleaner and then undoing those two bolts."
"Just like that, with nothing more than a hammer and a torch, we have new U-joints in our drive shaft."
"The balance wheel looks like it's intact and even though it's not really spinning freely at least it's not a broken balance staff."
"Let's pull the crankshaft out next and see if there's any destruction going on with the crank, plus we also have more Fasteners to harvest."
"I guess we're gonna have to pull that harmonic balancer."
"Good teamwork. We un-milkshaked it. I think we fixed the valve spring and by we, Miller did it."
"That's all there is to fixing that sticky choke lever. That didn't take long, did it? That was pretty simple. You can do that yourself."
"So, um, we're gonna pop the big motor back on now."
"...slide it through. Once you get to the gear here where the steering shaft bolts on, it's going to get a little more tricky."
"So, what I'm going to do now is I'm going to try to find the little screw or the little stud that goes into the carburetor so I could actually get this thing held down a hundred percent."
"I would remove this chain and I would put this in the case and I would tack weld that gear right there so that it cannot walk."
"Josh's X3 is now revived, it's running so much better and this thing has a lot better chance of staying on the road now without any future issues."
"I got that new gas tank seal back in there. I've got everything wired back up, clutch is back in, transmission is in the car, drive shaft is bolted in, everything is tight and torqued down."
"We just need to carefully just tap that bearing out."
"We got lights, yes sir, boy let's see if she turns over."
"I feel pretty confident that this engine is salvageable."
"Take your time, you know if you need to rotate either the main shaft or the counter shaft a little bit, do that, make sure you're not breaking any teeth off your gears."
"You just need a little bit of motivation, sometimes a bit of a push, the right parts, the right diagnosis, and a nice drive."
"We're going to try to get this thing started today."
"We've got compression, we've got the carburetor clean, all we really need is that spark."
"I've been fixing small engines for quite some time now, and I find it very rewarding."
"I'm super stoked to have the outboard running again."
"Persistence has paid off after about an hour and a half, I've managed to slide this off just giving it gentle pressure with the puller."
"Well it looks like we have all this plumbing back together, so let's go ahead and get this assembly mounted back to the engine."
"The fastest way to remove crowns and get a fast, quick, clean repair? Tension."
"We put tension on everything comes out."
"You're gonna get seventy to eighty percent of this thing for free."
"Runs great, got rid of that white smoke problem."
"That's good news, has clean metal all the way through there."
"The crank which was the main concern has been mended."
"Thank you for taking the time to tear into that tractor and get it running."
"If you can find one of these engines, one of these Briggs and Stratton engines, this is the most simple style of lawn mower to start repairing lawn mowers for profit."
"Good news, the crankshaft is not cracked."
"It's perfectly wired stator ready to go back into the scooter, no problems there, should be work perfect with no issues."
