Can I revive rusty cylinders with cleanser, while running. Old Timer re-ring in a hurry!

hey guys uh i'm sure you remember this girl uh but if you don't we picked this up i think it was the cheapest dozer ever sold not free but close uh and i did a will it start on this thing obviously been sitting with one jug full of water ah i'm gonna say it'll run but uh we got it running but it was what what i guess we could commonly be referred to as set to harmless ah one cylinder was was rusted up and the ring was toast well this is where this gets a little bit interesting um everybody has been uh basically we've been using this for pushing stuff around and like i said it barely had enough power to walk out of its own tracks if it was sitting in the mud except as we've been running this thing a little bit believe it or not it's been getting a little bit better [Applause] so now uh this motor is obviously hurt it's hurt bad uh it is running on three cylinders as as anybody who's heard it run can attest uh it does actually blow oil out the stack and it smokes smokes badly let's just say that but it's been getting better i was using it for plowing the snow last week and it was pulling pretty good it would actually spin the tracks which is a first so i got to thinking about it and i've actually decided now for the record i have a 271 i have a two-stroke detroit that is going in this so we're finishing that motor up now and i'll do a separate video on that motor but i'm gonna try the old this is you're gonna murder me for this i know this is not a popular method but if you get it to suck up some diatomaceous earth it theoretically can polish that cylinder wall and clean up that ring we might actually could fix this motor with some bonami this is not recommended again this motor is hurt uh however this has actually been done before and been successfully done to take that rust off the inside of the cylinder wall clean it up and you can actually pick up a hole so long story short we're gonna do a compression test on it uh we're gonna give it a couple tablespoons of bonami at full throttle and then we're gonna compress and test it again if it's still running and if it's not still running it's barely running now although it has been running better so i'm a little hesitant to do this but either way you never know till you now sell bon ami in no way or shape or form sponsored this and highly highly highly probably if they talk to me which they don't would say please for the love whatever don't stuff bon ami in a motor so that's exactly what i'm gonna do see you guys in a bit i secretly have to tell my wife i bought a forklift too by the way i i haven't i haven't fixed the smoke stack on her yet that gum you considering it was full of water i mean that popped right up right so let's uh let's heat this bad boy up a little bit uh get some uh get some temperature into it and uh give her a drink up on hammock [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] lie kind of curious to see what them plugs look like so let's uh pull our cap off of here so we don't accidentally start you guys see that okay let's see what we got transmission in neutral again huh oh 150. that ain't bad so there is one hole on her that's a breathing because these things are fairly crusty inside and then a healthy shot of dielectrics yes see that and that one is just about rusted closed so my guess is judging by the look of that plug this is going to be our culprit all right [Applause] and there's got it's got 90. it's leaking down not not super rapidly but i'm gonna hit that one again yeah 90. we got uh 150 we got 90. let's keep going yeah i don't know if you guys could see that well inside of them are so corroded i'm actually amazed that it gets too much in the way of check something here so that in there is covered with oil so i think that's going to be our that's going to be our criminal all right you guys see that okay let's see out here zero zilch none [Applause] okay zilch [Music] that one's got a fairly large amount of oil yes it's got a decent amount of oil on it as well okay let's you guys see that guy at all see if we get something out of this we got two that are hitting the zero have a little trouble with that so it's not a strange curiosity curious if it'll give me anything while it's running it's it's it's running on a cylinder and a half uh well i don't feel bad about trying my bonimi trick that one cylinder and a half apparently are pulling better than they were i'm gonna try to start just out of curiosity and see what it says foreign uh so it's got two completely dead holes so i guess this will be the bon ami trick aha we have ah let's see what do we got here i don't know if you guys can see that okay 150 90 0 and zero not good not good yeah might as well just test it right so it should be should be a lot of fun we're gonna jack this guy back in there and uh crank it over on one cylinder but i i doubt the bonami trip is gonna do anything other than put bonami in the oil we'll see that much so [Applause] so so it always does is when it warms up but it actually does sound a little tiny bit better so i will see let's go with the best and see if we hurt them so we got 120. i think that first time i said 150 but i think that first time was 122. so that one's about the same huh well for the record that did go from 90 didn't really go from 90 to i'm gonna look again i thought that went from 90 to 100. yeah i mean it just ticked down when i moved it but that one that went from 90 to 100. maybe the engine's a little bit warmer that run in a little bit all right so this one was at zero before kind of curious to see what we get out of her now [Music] okay well so that's an interesting one because like if i hold my finger over that i don't even feel any air moving so i'm uh i'm questioning what's going on in there i'm wondering if there's even a piston moving quite frankly because you should feel something i mean there's a piston moving i can like feel a minuscule huff of air but that's that's absolutely about it um we're just we're going to call that cylinder completely all right last one here so that's a zilch too so listen one cylinder went up 10 psi i can't necessarily say that's because of anything so i don't know if i can call this excited um there's zero airflow on two cylinders so i mean i don't know if that's got me thinking stuck valves which is what that's got me kind of thinking so a little curious to pop the valve cover off uh and see what that's got to say to us so let's do that right quick mike why is it always gotta be mice valve cover here see if there ain't mice living in the daggum valves man that valve ain't coming up [Applause] just have you look at them four right there obviously that ain't right and you'll see that one isn't moving either [Music] the valve guide there doesn't seem to be going down in the spring doesn't seem to be moving either so there we go we got two stuck valves i'm actually going to try to beat them loose uh again listen i know you guys are gonna flame me for doing this but i heard this rumor that it worked this is an engine where we're probably not gonna rebuild uh have another plan another project for this so it seemed like a great idea to try well not a great idea it seemed like a great opportunity to try the bona me trick and again yes i know i know i know i'm gonna get flame to the moon for it but you never know what this stuff until you try right and what you know it's a it was an old farmer trick that used to work yeah i thought we tried all right stay tuned all right so kind of a quick update right uh obviously that motor was a corpse it hurt bad but uh i did raise the compression on one cylinder 10 psi i think i'm actually going to play with this thing a little bit i'm going to beat those valves loose not beat them we're going to try to get those valves loose without pulling the head and uh run the ball to me test again like i said the motor is getting cpr right now we're just having a little bit of fun with it so stay tuned why oh why won't you just beat a valve oh come on all right we're gonna we're gonna get aggressive my valves are not coming up just going return be a be a valve
