Qué cubre este vídeo

A leaking oil line on a diesel engine requires replacing a banjo bolt, but the owner struggles to source the correct part due to poor communication from a supplier and a lack of technical specifications.0:05 After failing to find a match at local auto stores, the crew removes an identical bolt from another part of the engine to use as a reference. They discover the engine's threaded port is clogged with debris, which they clear using a soft copper wire brush to allow the new bolt to seat properly. Once the engine restarts, it fails to discharge cooling water halfway to the haul-out yard.21:08 Lacking a primary anchor—which is currently being regalvanized—and a functional dinghy, the crew navigates the final four miles to the travel lift under engine power while planning emergency maneuvers for a potential total engine failure.19:32 They successfully reach the yard despite the cooling system malfunction.26:16 Using the correct parts and cleaning engine threads thoroughly prevents recurring mechanical issues.
