Just curious if there would be many AMC guys on the blue forum that could do this rebuild. Considering how well they seem to go over there in the first place.
Maybe Rick would want to try it?

Yeah, no. Rick would need to hire a few extra bolt cleaners to tackle that.

It's amazing what guys in these Countries with nothing, do. I've watched their car restoration videos too.

I woulda sprung for a new headgasket and oil filter myself. Maybe lubed the headbolts and used a torquewrench. Cant hardly believe that fuel injection pump worked. I think that little turbodiesel was a yanmar.

Great thing is, gAyMCers use machine shops, spend $$$$ on parts, jack off to Cometic!!!!!!! gaskets and 90% of them can't even get to this point this easy. 30k and tore down 7 times just to make it to the mailbox once.
If the dude in this vid had the money and resources some do, he's be blowing Ryan Martin's big fat privileged ass off the track.

I worked for some Mennonites that loved donating to Haiti. One time the boat with a couple of trucks and tools they sent went down. Those guys down there dove underwater without scuba gear, disassembled those trucks and reassembled them on land. and the story was, it wasn't the people who were supposed to get the stuff. Basically "Pirates." Anything sinks out there, those fuckers swim out there, dive, strip it all down in no time. No chance for anyone else to recover it....
That really puts stuff into perspective of how lame and lazy some are they have to get on the net and ask for the dumbest shit.

Safety? no problem. Bet that tire lasted about as long as that diesel engine.

Say what you will, but Yanmar makes about the best small diesel engines going.

FYI, The block has ISUZU cast on it. I am assuming Isuzu and Yanmar are completely different companies/engines. Look at 34:00 into the video. Or am I wrong and they are the same company?

Your sir are probably NOT wrong. Just cuz i “ think “ it looks like a yanmar doesnt mean it is.

I just figgered that the only thing that could withstand being under water long enough to grow barnacles, and yet be made to run again, would be a Yanmar (well maybe an old school Kubota). Though I'm pretty sure he snuck in a new injection pump.

Hey it ran, but that dont mean it still IS running. Like scotchbrite reconditioned rings and ring grooves and cylinder walls and such aint exactly long term fixes. But i gotta give him credit, labor being free he musta invested a couple weeks of his life saving some junk from the deep six. It’ll run a little. Maybe he can pawn it off on some chump.

He could sell it to a Cuban for his '52 Chevy.

Hell theres probably plenty of those sunk engines out there. They put em on those little glorified surfboards that they used to push around the swamps with a pole. I betcha they sink all the time with a 200 horse turbo engine blasting them along. He could probably be really busy rebuilding douched out engines.
