I maintained several bus repair facilities during my career. We discovered that brake clean alcohol spray creates a serious explosion risk when it gets into solvent washstands. We had to institute a campaign to train all the mechanics to allow the brake clean alcohol to hit the floor and evaporate. Then you just mop up the small amounts of oil that remain on the floor. When the alcohol spray mixes with the mineral spirit based wash fluid, the flash point of the fluid drops to dangerously low temperatures. One of our mechanics was significantly injured when the fluid exploded in his face.

Scott, it's not carnage it's busnage! The blower merely took it's name to heart and blew!

My Dad was a Detroit Diesel Mechanic back in the 70s he would sure liked your channel if he were still with us

I'm glad to see that you used a more economical way of cleaning that oil cooler! Instead of Brake Cleaner.

Shoutout to The Bus Grease Monkeys and to the owner of this engine for fixing this Classic engine and getting it back on the road in a classic bus. I’m loving it.

Most expensive worm clamp I’ve ever seen…

My uncle Derek would have loved your channel. I think of him every time while watching your videos. Uncle Derek ran a bus company man and boy, he worked under those buses in the pit, rain or shine, summer or winter his whole life. He's passed on now to the great bus terminal in the skies. I know he will be in good company up there with all the other bus driving mechanics, swapping secrets of invented tools and talking about long journeys on open roads. rip Derek .

Thank goodness for the intercooler. Without that catching the debris the whole engine would have been trash!

That supercharger sure was a total mess 😮😮…thanks for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻

Love your channel and how you care for these big vehicles and their power plants and their various support components. I wish I could have had a mentor like you. I notice you look happy and sound happy. I don't know what your secret is but I wish I could go about my day being half as happy as you are. Anyways, I've learned a lot from many of your videos and I do appreciate how you us never-seize whenever you can on fasteners. I think I am the only one at the dealership who uses it on customers' cars.

Been watching for awhile and still can't get over how big some of those engines are. They could be used as power plants for an entire mill or machine shop at the start of the industrial revolution. They look like a Fairbanks-Morse PowerPoint. Great content.

This is such a great and interesting channel to watch.

As a suggestion. When you next need to order any engine degreaser. Try. TFR. Traffic film remover. Used in the vehicle trade as a general car body detergent. But if you double the strength ratio of the cleaner in a spray bottle. It should work good. Worth a try on cost.

Scott, I meant to comment about the snow removal effort on the new 40X40 shelter. It looks as if Johnathan was using z 12' extendable painting stick. My suggestion is to use toilet plunger heads rather than rag tied over the end. Both the round and cup types have acme (square) threads as do the painting sticcks.

A little bit of JBWeld on it and it will be fine

You didn’t make the little tractor scream but you sure made it moan. Steve

Beautiful welding and a very nice piece of equipment.

The big question is how did a hose clamp get in-between the blower and turbo?

That engines in good hands 🙌

I can not foretell the future, but I see a forklift in your future!

Had a blower grenade on a brand new 16V-92 TA one time. Only about 2 hours on that engine. Both rotors and gears completely trashed. Warranty covered it all.

Wow Scott and crew this will be one of the out of frame rebuild documentation that's freaking awesome. This is rare .please document any machine shop work. Tia my bad if you're not yanking the block

Does the helper have a clothing allowance in his compensation? 😂

Hooly crap that is one hell of a expensive mess. Major crunch!😢😢😢😢

The M-113 had a six cylinder V6:Detroit Diesel that was a durable lil beast. Especially in the infantry units.

That Vice looks Great after the cleaning also !!!

That blower reminds me of the old saying about "throwing a wrench into the machinery." What a mess!

I be never seen one of those motors out of a bus. Gigantic!!😮

Holy moly busman.. thats a lot of schrapnel in there.. lol. Great vid.. ✌️❤️😁

Brave little tractor! 👍😁

Yeah wow, this is a good one! Those blowers are pretty interesting. If you had a wall of shame for big parts it would be good to leave that thing as it is (seal in the leaks) and put it on the wall on a lazy susan so you can hear the parts inside.

That bus needed some serious help. At least you guys are the ones taking care of it.

zowie howie, that is a lot of metal, the last time I saw that much meta in a housing it was a diff, a very broken diff.

Adam @ Rare Classic Cars and Automotive History gave you guys a nice shout-out !

Ah....so that's the intercooler on those detroit engines....VERY cool!

center the motor as close to the tractor as possible not at the end of the forks. You will be able to pick up a lot more weight

Wow…I knew engines were large but didn’t realize how large. Using the tractor for scale you really see the size of it.

Checking out that front tire squish when moving that engine! Looks like you were getting pretty close to the max load rating on those meats, m8. Glad it all worked out. 😊

Take a look at bolt-on wheel weights for the rear tractor wheels. Not only are secure (at slow speeds) but also help with balance since it moves some of the rear weight outwards.

That was driven there😮😬😳

Poor old bus!

You could weld hooks for chains on the fork carriage as close to the pivot pins as possible. Less leverage on the forks, tractor can lift that engine and trans in the future.

Dry ice blasting is an amazing cleaning process. Your most economical option is to find someone who cleans restaurant vent hoods and have them come to you. Or you could rent a machine but you also need a towable compressor because they consume massive amounts of air.

Purpose or accident, must have been a heck of a racket.

wow thats toast, at least no rusted bolts like the other v92 well oiled !

Well at least there’s no milkshake. 🤷‍♂️

keep the clips coming

Scott They make some inexpensive ultrasonic cleaners that would handle the cooler.

I had not seen the intercooler unit out of a 92 series before.

I think that blower would even be rejected as a boat anchor. 🚢

I've always wondered if those tiny aftercoolers do much.

It always makes me sad to see the results of some previous hack mechanics work. Amazing how far this bus engine actually got before grenading.

I would send after coolers/ inner coolers out to the local radiator repair shop they would hot tank and pressure test them. They will develop pinholes and then flood an engine with coolant.

I hope that wasn't some of the recall jack stands from Harbor Freight...

That blower really grenaded itself. Yes where did that hose clamp come from. Inquiring minds want to know LOL.

Only part of the hose clamp is in the blower, so where's the rest of it gone? (Hopefully it did a clean escape and didn't damage anything else during its break for freedom)

So much carnage from ingesting a hose clamp.

You find any quarters in there

Shows how close the tolerances are between the lobes that it would break parts when something shows up to the party uninvited.

That thumbnail 👌

Just a wee bit crunchy!!!

What a mess the outside but especially the inside 😮😮

Welding steel to aluminum?

What bus did that engine come out of? A+ effort on Jonathon! - Mr. Right Hand man!!!

7:04 please weld angle iron to the dollies to make a square frame 🙏

Watching the junk piled on the box blade and lifting that engine at first looked like a, "Hey, y'all. Hold ma beer an watch dis!".

Oh my God would you look at all of those part numbers inside of that blower

a engine coating company called line to line, dose a coating mostly on race engine pistons ,would it work on blower lobes and blower housings ?

If the clip end had been sucked in it would be embedded in the aluminium rotor or have past through as the engine had been running like this, it looks like the bearing has failed first, how the clip end has got in there I dont know unless someone else has had the turbo off.

Goodbye blower, that really sucks.

With that much carnage through the blower I would have scoped the cylinders Just in case

Put some air in them front tractor tires, dont want to split the sidewalls. Having the inflow cooler out i would have just sunk it in the parts washer overnight, pressure washed the outside and flush the inside out. Inspect the inside of the cylinders with bore scope i have a feeling something had to make it through.

Gas thermocouple magnet?

Surprised the jack stand didn't lift up on one side with the weld.

So team when are we going shopping for a forklift truck, heavens knows you could do with one.

Its a nightmare cleaning parts on old engines

HI SCOTT QUESTION WHO IS THE YOUNG MAN WORKING WITH YOU?

ouch!

Just bump the hydraulic pressure up a little bit on the tractor and it will lift it no problem, it should have a pretty big safety margin and if anything breaks that what a warranty is for.

The jack may hold the weight but will the checkerplate and wheels?

With all damage how did it drive in

Complete and uter destination 😢but can be Rebuild and come back to life just a Lots of work and Time and just a few parts from Grease Monky Mountain 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You guys need to get a soda blaster for cleaning. Safe for the environment.

Could have got a few more inches height with some air pressure in the tires

Isn’t that a series 71 water pump? I thought all 92 series used O-ring covers.

Has the Tyler absence been addressed yet? Love your vids Scott but it worries me.

Do you think that 30 minutes in an ultrasonic cleaner would have worked great on that intercooler?

Dose blower have to be gage for clearance maybe add shims?

Hope the rest of the engine hasn't sufferred from the metal that will have come out of the blower.

Hope you didn’t do my mistake of forgetting to oil the vice after using to hold something I washed. Hehe. It went almost solid over night. WD-40 to the rescue

How much can weight can Jonathan bicep curl? He popped that blower off the engine like it candyfloss 😂💪

A Hotsy water water preasure washer would make short work of grease.

I don’t think I could bring myself to trust that aftercooler.

Its officially blown

Yo put all that weight on the back and when you moved the back wheels were bearly touching the ground 😮

How the heck did that happen, any ideas ?

Hey didn't you power wash the grease off before you took it inside.

What happened to the big guy with the Dodge?

a little air in them tires might just help a bit lol

Yup somebody had been inside that thing. Bet that’s why it failed, someone used that crap silicone and caused more problems than it had in the first place. You’ll get it right, might cost him some coin though.
