I love watching big iron diesel engines being maintained, repaired or rebuilt. And watching as you hunt down an oil pressure issue is awesome to watch. I am now subscribing and can't wait to watch your other videos!

I've seen many EMD oil filter arrangements over my years on the Mississippi, but this one sure wins the Odd Duck Award. Is this loco from sometime in the 1930s/

I believe I was having more fun watching that you were installing those filter vessels.

Was hoping to see a shot through the sight glasses of the oil coming up through the filters. Also I noticed you're using an air gauge for the oil pressure gauge. Gotta make use of what you got I guess.👍

Painted the inside of a diesel engine. Well that is different. Looking at all the goo in there, I can see why the went really large with the filtering system.

I would have done only one thing differently, I'd have filled the housing AND the inside of the filters....That paper element is going to take a lot of oil to saturate it. <br><br>That said, considering the box was empty when you opened it up, it must prime pretty quickly to begin with.

Be careful of using brass fittings on the oil pressure guages because engine vibration along with the one guage having a long brass nipple fitting including the guage itself ,can break the brass nipple at the threads . Recommend grey pipe nipples instead , and use shorter nipples . Just a caution as brass is not happy with vibrations .
