HP sweat was what a 4-53 HS engine did when hooked to a 6X6 water pump. Even though the No Load speed was over 3000 RPM you would find out that that 6X6 pump would limit it to 1900 RPM with a wide open throttle. But it would run at that speed all day long. You just never wanted to hear the damper drop at that speed.

People from the logging industry will likely remember the 353 the most as timberjack used them extensively in their smaller skidders from 60's onwards. So the story goes that in Canada up in the hills if you got lost while logging you could listen closely enough and hear a 353 no matter where you were and you followed the sound to safety. In Australia the little timberjacks are almost legend to the older cutters as screaming jimmies.

I personally ran a 6V92 for 24 years straight as a oil delivery truck. So it was all short haul. When I bought it it had 300000 miles so I had it rebuilt then ran it 24 years. The hours meter quit at 18,000 and I ran it for years after that. It was backed by a Allison 750 which was a wonderful transmission. It just got too old to keep using it. The cab wiring was going and the leaks were getting worse, so I bought a Volvo with a series 60. I still have that truck. I love detroits.

The 6L-71 was used in almost every US made landing craft in WW2, it was extremely tough, extremely reliable (it had to be when used in a boat that came under a lot of gunfire), put out good horsepower and had great torque and had good fuel consumption (it could go a long ways on not that much fuel). It was also used in a lot of motor yachts and was turbo-charged to phenomenal outputs, almost 500 hp for the 6-71s, and would hold together. The V-16's were called "sweet 16's" for their output, reliability and smooth running. They also had a long production life which probably ended with environmental concerns, being 2-stroke they were a little difficult to make clean running, although they were economical and ran "lean".

Sitting on an 8-71 blower with the motor running flat out without a muffler is an experience I'll never forget. I saw one run away once. The sound was amazing!

@alan6832 2 года назад

They have their very own grade of oil, API CF-2, the "2" at the end stands for 2 stroke. -2 oil is low sulfur to minimize coking, which is a problem for these engines. It also makes them best in marine applications, which never go down hill and the constant, steady loads experienced by boat engines reduces coking.

I used to drive haul trucks (as in mining trucks, 80s Euclid R190s to be specific) with 16V149TIB engines (1800hp, a bit over 5000lb ft of tq) and they were so cool sounding. Other than say, a methanol powered drag car engine or a turbine powered aircraft, they are the single loudest engine I have ever heard. I've driven far larger and more powerful trucks since, but none had the personality of those enormous 2-strokes.

When I worked in the bush, before retiring, as a mechanic, working on the haul trucks and setting the racks on the 12/71’s got to be a noisy affair. Loved to hear them when running good.

@@brianfronius4166 yes and no. The 2 stroke Detroit’s have been out of production since the 90’s, most ended in 1995. The current engines are all evolutions of the 60 series 4 stroke DDEC computer controlled design that came out in 1987. Also GM sold Detroit diesel to Roger Penske who then sold it to Daimler AG so it’s not a GM division anymore.

I have a world war II 35' motor boat with a 3-71 engine that was built in 1938. I enjoyed it for 7 years, then it just wore out. i never worked on a diesel engine, but with help from youtube videos and a few mechanics that would waste time talking on the phone i was able to rebuild the engine without removing the engine from the boat. I wish i had gotten into diesel when i was a kid. I have always worked on my own engines, and have destroyed a few. but the detroit was the most enjoyable. It seemed just too easy but so interesting to learn about injectors and the roots blower. I gained so much confidence in the boat since i rebuilt it and even made a few off shore trips in it. It hasn't missed a beat since i rebuilt it.

@kevinvoyer5053 3 года назад

Hello again Visio! Over my 40+ years as a truck driver, I’ve driven my share of Two Stroke Detroit’s! T most recent was only about 10 years ago in an older GMC Car carrier. That was a 3/71, with a turbo, hooked to a 5 speed low hole manual trans, with a two speed rear end. The sound that engine made g splitting gears was amazing! I must clarify the information you’re given, there was absolutely no multi cylinder naturally aspirated Detroit Diesel engines! All were supercharged! While being a 2stroke there were no intake valves either, every valve, either 2 or 4 in the heads were only exhaust valves, as the intake is controlled by piston ports cut into the cylinders, hence the need for a supercharger to help in the scavenging that forces the intake in, then blow exhaust out for a brief moment before the piston closes the intake port, when the exhaust valves are closed for the creation of compression, with fuel injected at the precise moment for compression combustion! That’s why so much torque is created, there’s a power stroke on every revolution, instead of every other, like in a 4 stroke. Turbos are added to increase horsepower at higher rpm’s.

@VisioRacer 3 года назад

Many people considered them as naturally aspirated for the fact that they do require those blowers to run. They cannot naturally run without a blower, hence calling them naturally aspirated. And it makes full sense to me.

@toddgittins5692 3 года назад

Torque? Now that's funny.

As these become ever more rare I like and appreciate them more. They filled so many valuable niches but their time has passed (unless ways can be found to make them as clean and efficient as modern diesels, which may actually be possible if Achates Power is any indication). I also find myself in the very small minority of enthusiasts who prefers the sleeper approach (read silent but in this case with just enough of the characteristic sound so that those nearby will know).

I've got a 1954 4/71 GM diesel ( they were renamed Detroit Diesel in 58) in my boat a 40f ex-fishboat great boat engine. I ran a tug, actually several, but one had a 12/71, which had big injectors and probably some special balancing that spun up to 2800rpm and could put out a lot of power. This was intermittent, and you had to watch your heat build-up. It was special built for ship assist. It had an incredible roar at 2800 through dry exhaust. l loved running that tug; it was a beast.
