Now the fun part, setting the governor haha! But man, she started right up, not even one revolution before she fired. Thats crazy, great job on the rebuild!
An engine that can run with a broken crank shaft? Come on man, that's impossible. If you have a crank shaft that breaks in a couple places around one cylinder, that one piston will be out of time with the valves and the injector, all the other cylinders forward of the break and of the power output end will not be in time and they can't turn over correctly without being directly linked to the flywheel. I don't know everything about engines but I don't for a second believe that is possible.
Yeah I do know something about them and you can break them. They can't tolerate overheating. The blowers can malfunction and pump shrapnel into the air gallery - they don't like that much and they can run away. Some of them had a flap to stop runaways. If its a mechanical thing, you can break it. They are pretty reliable though.
Like I said, heat exchanger. That's what that is called. The engine runs a closed loop cooling system through the heat exchanger, where the heat is transferred to external water from the lake/river/sea/etc.
I once had my brothers Zetor running in reverse, the battery was dead and i was cranking it by PTO. I put both transmissions in reverse, so the engine rotation was still wrong. The white smoke was coming from the air cleaner, and it didnt like the oil pump running in reverse, so it quickly stalled within seconds, before i could hop on the other tractor to shut her down... ignition and valve timing was a bit off mark, but it did make a few turns on its own...
chill pickle as far as throttle response you may have a throttle delay or fuel modulator under the valve cover can be easily removed for quick throttle response wont help with fuel effiency though
injectors can be tested three ways that i know of removed and put in inj tester which checks atomization and pressure up to 1800 psi for leak down with injecter in the engine with a new style control rack you can flood each cylinder with fuel or you can take a flathead scredriver while the engine is running put srewdriver between fuel line and injector apply force to inj. spring this will hold spring down and cut out cylinder
hydraulic governer is the quickest response governors on these but may not be suitable for your application normally found on gensets for quick load response
@davidlewismd did detroit ever make a split head 12v71? like the 16v71? the bow thruster on my father's supply boat is a 12v71 but it's a single 6 cylinder head on each side...
@SittingMooseShaman You're right on so many levels. Just to really hack the greenies off, it's not repairing, it's RECYCLING.. i.e reusing of old components. They just love that as what's more environmentally concious than recycling? :)
Some marines engines use both a radiator and outside water, like mine has a radiator in it and it draws outside water, keeps it from rusting in salt water.
6v92 @ 550 hp ? I drove a 1984 Peterbilt which had a 365 hp 8v92 and read the Detroit Diesel manual that came with the truck. It claimed 3 ratings for truck applications 365 / 405 / and the " 8v92tta" which was 445hp. I cannot imagine how a 6v92 would make that kind of power, or if so, not under continuous duty? Interesting. That motor in the video sounds very tight and solid, no shaky idle at all....
I know this is an old post - maybe someone is still monitoring: Would any of you have an estimate on the cost to rebuild a 6v92 in this day and age of 2021?
how do you think that detroits get thev16 or v12 they take 2 8 cylinder or 6 cylinder and bolt the cranks together and the blocks together. this is old technology
Detroit engine is very good in but if is not leaking it's not runny Arlington diesel engine Detroit engine is very good answer keep up the good work and have a good day or night keep smiling bye-bye
That the way to get your cylinder head crack by running without cooling system. I bought the same engine from fire pump application. It ran almost 11h but they probably turn the engine without cooling system, so I got crack on the both cylinder head. That why I bought it for nothing
im new to diesel anyone want to take the time to tell me the differences between a Petrol engine and a Diesel engine?and why the guy is rewin the motor with pliers on that side?
Probably worst then that. Due to all the fuel you'd be dumping into it, it aint going to get shit for fuel mileage, and you're going to run really hot. If you want that much horsepower get a 12v71 and stick twin turbos one for each manifold. But it won't fit in a pickup.
You're not going to fit a 6v92 into any pickup truck. 1) It's way too heavy, 2) it's way too big, 3) the torque would twist it into a pretzel. Marine engines use a heat exchanger system rather than a radiator, it lets then draw water in from outside the boat to cool the engine, but doesn't run that water *through* the engine.
Thats a cute little Rocky Mt humming bird, but the color is all wrong. The pristine white paint will be streaked grey when it starts to leak oil as all Detroit's' do.
That's no initial start up every bit of fuel bleeding and winding up was done and startup trials were completed. No build up would just crank up without hesitation
I wouldn't take this giant weed whip engine to the end of my driveway. Absolute junk. 2-STROKE DIESEL WTF. That engineer should have stayed in bed that day.
John A so. 2-stroke diesels have literally been around since the 19th century, and many large container ships, and almost every single locomotive use 2-stroke diesels. Insert *the more you know* rainbow star here.
Your an idiot!! One of the best diesels ever made hands down!! These motors just run well and run high hours before rebuild, only thing I can say bad, they do leak a bit of oil.very reliable and tuff engines!
