As many of you know I’ve recently started Patreon, a subscription-based service that helps out the channel and in return gets you early, commercial-free access to weekly episodes, behind the scenes and full access to the #IronDuke Kenworth cabover build: / twinstickgarage
Special thanks to the 500+ folks who have signed up so far!
Now as I’ve mentioned, I do plan provide the occasional Iron Duke update episode on KZitem for everyone to enjoy and this is one of those weeks …
Picking up where I left off with last week’s episode, I continue cleaning up the frame after my friend Blake (FlyWeldFabricate on KZitem) welded well over 100 holes left behind from previous suspension systems on these 40+ year old rails. Now that its all sanded, I can get started on the body work to really smooth them out in preparation for the red paint I plan to put on them. However, this week, I wanted to do something fun and see if I could get this old Caterpillar 3406 A block pre-combustion engine started. First off, I needed to finish the job I started last year when I installed new Jakes (Jacob’s Engine Brakes). Unfortunately, at the time I didn’t have the correct super-deep socket to properly torque 4 of the head bolts, however a minty fan (thanks Mark) sent me the right tool for the job. However, when I finally got down to torqueing them, I realized it threw off all my valve clearances. When I finally got that buttoned up and installed the new turbo oil lines, I started swapping the oil. Now this truck had been sitting for a long-time in a field before I came along and rescued it so who knows how old and contaminated it is so I elected to use Shell Rotella T5 semi-synthetic along with new Cat filters (oil and fuel) before finally cranking her over … man this old CAT sure sounds good when it cracks off

Hope you enjoy the video and thanks for all the comments, suggestions, and support!
Keep in mind, I know a little about a lot but not an expert in anything … just doing the best I can, learning as I go ... I do all my own stunts
