I think I would lean towards that being real. Heck of a lot of work.

But, what did she actually do?  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.

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.

Lights, cameras, action.     Really well produced and directed film.

Seems like some of the 's we've seen brought back to life ...

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 live its 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!

Measured in Grunt-Pounds. I was just waiting for the pull strap to fly off the Yanmar and tattoo her good! No PPE there folks.

Looks like something @ClassicTractorProfessor brought home from an on-line auction.

Not sure if this was a one day project. Did notice that she never changed cloths through the whole film.

The Yanmar or the actress?

Some things had me scratching my head, like reinstalling hoses and the air filter that looked like they might still be full of mud.   But hey, it looks like she got it running.  Impressive.

"Good-'nuff"...

Here is her channel...it seems like she likes mechanical work and finding things along the river bank:
