Pull the head, clean things up, reinstall with no gasket, didn't change any oil or filters, etc. Didn't checked the fuel or change it. I give her prompts for some of the things she did, but it kind of seemed fishy or fake from the get go. I want to believe it's real, but with so much fake stuff nowadays, has me doubting. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely agreed. No way of knowing cuz we weren't there to see it. That channel has a good amount of videos with million plus views. If nothing else, they are successful in marketing.

Handy Don 14,971 #7 Posted 55 minutes ago (edited) With the amount of flooding in SE Asia in the past year, I’d guess that was a working unit that was washed downstream. Diesel so no electricity needed for ignition beyond cranking. I’ll guess we didn’t see the crankcase, and possibly transmission, oil changes. Units made for these markets use simple and tough components--both to lower cost and to extend working life. This machine would be expected to life it’s life outdoors in all weather so being immersed probably had relatively little impact. What amazes me watching these videos is the sheer focus on, and keen understanding of, only what’s needed to make it go. Oh, and the hi-tech torque wrench with a USA-made wrench was a surprise!
