Introduction and Problem Diagnosis

Are you a good nut picker? I was going to let Michael choose what nut size of mine he would like to put on there. So, what's the Is this why you're here, Mitchell? That's why I'm here. Oh, that's not why I'm here. People don't really ever get to see this side, the screwing around like probably should, but it's not easy to like video yourself being a goon like Yeah. There's plenty of There's plenty of nonsense that goes around here that most people never see, so I'm here to learn cuz success leaves clues. You know how bad I want to build a Cummins powered Suburban? That would be cool. Again, it's a it's it's a disaster in here right now. A bomb definitely went off. We got my buddy Michael's truck out right in the middle of putting a head gasket on last night. We pulled the cylinder head off my four-wheel drive drag truck project over there, so So, you got two tube chassis trucks? Uh that still is frame rail in the front, but it's back half. Huh. And it's a 25 cert cage. Four-wheel drive. Not It's not quite complete yet, but it's getting there. Yeah, the other the other truck in the other garage that is full tube chassis is, you know, big tire two-wheel drive. That's what the billet engine is for. Uh we were thinking about putting a billet engine in here, but we're probably going to go with the go with the different Freedom Racing engine setup in in that. It was a 850 cert cage. We're kind of in the middle. We moved the engine back in it. Was it back half with an 850 cage? Mhm. That's odd. It is a little odd. Well, I mean, diesel diesel class racing is still like a lot different, you know, it's not really a standard set like car stuff. Are those new springs or just the springs moving from the other head? Those are springs from the other cylinder head. They're brand used. Brand used? brand used. I'd like to patent that word. That's That's one of Greg's favorite words, brand used. So, I think in gas world they call it like a top fuel hoop. Uh I believe like this is basically a steel ring that goes in the head gasket to hold in combustion, so uh they're basically these Diesel Land calls them fire rings. Um so, he had a fire ring head gasket on this engine uh when he built it. And as you can see right here, this cracked. So, that was putting combustion into the coolant. So, that's what we found when we pulled it apart. Pulled it apart because we thought it was just a bad head gasket, so we found that. We are
