  • I work at the CAT reman facility in Booneville MS. Cool to see that me and a guy named Cotton dipped and packed that camshaft in your video 👍
  • @johnkelly937
    I will probably never own an engine like this nor will I ever need to know how to work on one but I was 30 mins into this video before I realized it because I was so impressed with the knowledge and expertise of this guy. It's really neat to see someone who is so damn good at what they do and for them to be as humble as this guy is. Bravo brother impressive as hell!
  • I wasn't expecting this guy to be so young, given his depth of knowledge. Great to see!
  • @wadeeb
    I also just realized how peaceful your shop is, no music blasting, very tidy and organised which says a lot about your work as well.
  • @DSRE535
    Its always nice to see someone building engines the right way, i like how you don't skip any steps and you aren't teaching any bad habits, build it right the first time and it will last!!!
  • @gravydog51
    I'm a retired automotive tech and I really enjoyed your attention to detail. You did a really beautiful job!
  • @MrTom38ncalif
    Craftsmanship at it's finest. Meticulous attention to detail with a focus on the customer, longevity along with educating. A job well done. Grateful to have you demonstrating how to do a rebuild correctly and with utmost precision
  • I have nothing to do with big engines and probably never will. It’s just not what I do. I clicked on this channel one day browsing on YouTube. This guys attention to detail and knowledge is something else. Appears he works on his own doing rebuilds so he has a lot of know how. Explains things well and is very easy to understand. If you have a machine, truck or tractor with a CAT engine, this is the guy you would definitely contact for advice, repairs or what ever. I know little about what he does but I subscribed to his channel some time ago. Keep up the good work mate. Regards from a southern land 🇦🇺.
  • "I went to the corona danger zone earlier, the local Walmart".. Lol. Absolutely loved this video and I could listen to this guy all day. Thumbs up. 👍
  • One of the most impressive builds I've seen on the net... With some dry humour and honest commentary. Thank You fella... Great to listen to a proper mechanic.

    Love to see stuff like this. Young guys who are willing to take their time and give their customers the best quality the can, no matter how long it takes. Soft spoken, clean, and methodical. Love it.
  • @ac19189mobile
    gosh imagine being this young and this knowledgeable about this block. totally crazy how much this man knows
  • When I watch this video I feel a sense of pride in America again. That highly detailed discussion of hardware and its properties, part numbers, and practices coupled with eye-popping live action shots of precision iron and steel, sometimes in motion, moves me. Then the camera travels past the CAT maker's mark up close and personal. This is wonderful art. Thank you!

    Seeing the freshly painted engine reminds me of when I used to work at the Lafayette Engine Center back around 2012. Was always rewarding to see the freshly painted final products.

    I work on commercial electronics and have been a backyard mechanic for many years. Got to help rebuild a 600CI diesel a while back. Man was that ever amazing. Every part is huge and needs huge torque. It was also so simple inside there.
  • @tommygazelle
    I started watching not even paying attention to how long it is. I was 45 minutes in before I realized how glued to the screen I was. Great video!
  • @Patrick-857
    "Here comes the safety police with their lecture that nobody cares about" This guy gets it.
  • “I wish his parents bought him a coloring book” 😂😂 that one got me
  • @user-jh8rm9gh9d
    Whoever cleaned it deserves a monument! I cleaned and painted used cat parts for years and this looks great
