I work for the Sanitation district in Hampton roads. We have several of these that power electric generators when our pump stations lose power. My assistant asked me "Why wouldn't we trade them out for newer engines?" Because they're Detroit's! If we take care of them they will run forever.
FISHBOWLS! (GM New Look busses). Toronto had the TDH-53xx - A series. yeah man .. they were THE sound. So that makes you about 50. Not being a dick here .. just a two AM vomit-comet fist pump .. or bump - or whatever the kids do. The 6V-71 brought so many of us home in kinder and gentler days.
We had them in the Crown school buses here in the Los Angeles area up until the early 2000s. I remember as a kid sometimes we'd go on field trips in these old, rounded buses that were SO INCREDIBLY LOUD. Didn't learn that they were loud because of the Detroits until about a year ago.
@@robertarthurs328 every 200,000 miles my 8V92 piled up catastrophically. All 3 were replaced, not worth rebuilding, on warranty. Cost me 2 weeks downtime every time. I dumped the truck once I paid for it. Garbage engine. 3406B putting 440 to the road, juiced with a new bigger injection pump and turbo, 1.3 million miles, one injector and a bearing roll. All the 2 cycle GM junk I had wasn’t as reliable collectively as one cat.
Awesome 👏😎 I grew up working 20 yrs in the business from 70-92... My favorite smell in the morning was diesel fuel from a Detroit 2 Stroker... Smells like POWER! 😂
El motor que impulsó a los autobuses MASA SOMEX series 1500, 2000, 2030 y 5000. Maravilla de máquina con transmisión Füller de 5 velocidades mas dual era música para los oídos conocedores. Por muchos años fue el motor más a avanzado de la época hasta la llegada de los motores de las series 50 y 60 para autobuses modernos y trailers. Excelente video. 😃👍🏻
Four 6-71 twin banks on my first boats (76 foot) in the navy 70-78. Inboards we’re electric start, outboards we’re air start. Then two 6-71L engines on my last smaller 40’ admirals boat.
Reminds me of my old school bus. It may have been an 8 v71, but I'm talking old bus that looked like an oversized Twinkie. The motor sounded similar, but a LOT louder, and faster idle.
Clearly this is a fresh rebuild and obviously not over fueling

Two stroke gas engines are smokey, diesels are actually quite clean. Check their working principle, unlike gas engines they get fresh air with every work-cycle.
Not a properly running one. Unless someone has replaced the injectors with higher capacity ones or something of the sort they don't smoke much at all. Now as far as leaking oil, they had a small problem with that, to be kind !
I WANT ONE! My father used to have big trucks in his business and his sales manager always talked about the Detroit 6v-71 and what a great engine it was.
We didn't have any 6V71's, but we did have regular 6-71s, 6-110s, slant 6-71s and 2-71s when I was in the US Navy. I spent many hours crossing the Clyde River on liberty boats, landing craft and Box-Ls listening to those engines. I'll pass on a recording. This one sounds great. Note that's it's a good idea to check the copper jumper lines to the injectors. We had one come lose and it filled the engine with diesel fuel! Another problem we had was the copper line from the fuel pump to the rail would crack. Since the fuel pump is driven off the blower, the pump blew fuel into the blower. No wonder the engine wouldn't shut down!
Now here's a real man who eats his Corn Flakes with 20-50, lol. Funny .. the same but not quite - 50 years later i still remember the drone of bias tires, laying across my grandpa's lap (before seat belts) on the road, wondering how he knew where to put that big shifter stick before drifting off to what amounted to heaven .. so yeah .. I totally get what you're saying. I could scoot of to la-la with 6-71 background. you're right .. someone should!
Worked for the electric company, a coal fired powerhouse. We had Euclid C6 dozers with 671’s in them. I can still hear them rolling up onto the coalpile. It’s been @ 40 years but my hearing is still damaged from them.
@@Coaltrain87. Also a....yes, a V24. Only for marine equipment. 24v71. Someone had the balls to put it on a sled pulling truck and let's just say it could take the 20,000 lb sled home if it wanted to.
These powered all the "mobile lounges" at Dulle]s for years. It was explained to me that these were protecteded jobs and yet we had segregaton. I was MADE!
A friend drove a concrete truck powered by a screamin' Jimmy in the days before air conditioning. Lost hearing in his left ear, right ear not too good either.
How is the blower driven on this? I dont see a belt drive anywhere, is it like a gear drive off of the flywheel or something? Just curious, because i know back in the day ppl would use these 6/71 blowers and modify them to work on gasoline engines
