Thanks.:)

:)

My attorney fixed a similar problem for me. FREEDOM!!!!

Some times you get lucky and the injectors don't stick.:) Thanks for watching.:)

Thanks and thanks for watching.:)

:)

Quick thinking. Well done. Any adverse after affects?

If they're used on a regular bases it's very rare to have a runaway. If you're running the new throttle tubes like in your 6V92T it's almost impossible to have a runaway.:) With the exception of my 2-53, I've converted all my engines over to the new throttle tubes.:) Thanks for watching.:)

Thanks and thanks for watching.:)

Thanks and you're welcome, if they've sat for that long, only takes a minute to pull the valve covers and see if they're free.:) Thanks for watching.:)

Thanks, engine was rebuilt in the 90's by Detroit Cullens and had never been started prior to this video.:) I freed up the injectors and fired it up. One injector was still not right, so I replaced it with a reman unit. Runs like a charm.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 great 👍 thanks. Paul 🇬🇧

I bet, I've never personally experience one and with any luck never have to.:) Thanks for watching.:)

Lol, ya they sure go off quickly.:) Thanks for sharing that.:)

My 6 92 did the same thing and after that I doesn't stay at idle anymore. Any idea why?

@@pablolizano8081 Could be a number of things, from buffer screw too tight to a rack that's out of adjustment. Time for a tuneup.:)

Nice fix, it's nice to have a functioning emergency shut off.:) As far as power is concerned, they aren't bad if you tune them correctly. They got a bad rap, but were often compared to engines with twice the CI displacement. I'm daily driving my 4-53T at 240HP with larger injectors and water meth injection. I also have to remind myself it's only 212 CI.:) Thanks for watching.:)

Thanks, I’m glad it’s helped. Thanks for watching.:)

First of all check the rack and injectors, make sure none are stuck. Also check the fuel stopper and have a flat sheet of metal to put over the blower. They can climb to 5000 RPM real quick and it's scary.

@@andrewking4885 Thanks for advice. I shall do so. Luckily, it has a flapper on the airbox inlet. ( Terex 82-40 dozer)

@@wildcoastadventures7535 Cheers. there's some good footage of 8V powered terex dozers on Ytube. The 318 might be noisy but extremely reliable. The 71s were always my favorite engine. I take it your American. I'm from Australia.

@@andrewking4885 yep, have been looking up videos of Terex dozers for a while. Some great ones, and every single one convinces me to invest in some seriousear protection. Nope, I am South African. On the East Coast of South Africa, between the cities of East London and Durban. Beautiful, natural undeveloped rural part of ourcountry with an awesome temperate climate and sea temps between 14 & 22°C

@@wildcoastadventures7535 That's amazing that proved to me you can find a Detroit Diesel anywhere in the world even off shore at Asian areas in boats. I'll send you a 6-71 story tomorrow in log truck climbing a hill also a twin stick 6V53. It's LG revisited ep 1 in New Zealand.

Awesome, have fun with the 8V71.:) Thanks for watching.:)

If it's an N engine, then it most likely has the 2 screw tubes. I'll be converting this engine over to a spring rack in the future. Thanks for watching.:) Here's a video of converting to a spring rack on a 353.:)kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oseEe9yZutSte2w.html

Thanks.:)

You're welcome, and thanks for watching.:)

Thanks for the sub.:) I've never had a Detroit run backwards but have had a Mercedes OM621 run backwards.:) This happened time to time on most of the diesels from the 60's and 70's if you stalled them and they happened to start again in reverse. Made mess of the oil bath aircleaners, but didn't harm the engine.:) Thanks for watching.:)

Thanks, all six injectors were stuck, freed them up and it now runs again. Of the six injectors, one was replaced due to a miss fire. Here's the first start, thanks for watching.:) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l8qaZcSXyNm2gn0.html

I've been lucky and haven't had any issues. Most of my stuck racks are from engine sitting for a long period of time. I always check to make sure the rack is free before starting. For the engines I run daily or weekly I've never has any issues.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 everyone forgets that after the engine shuts down the governor racks to full fuel if it’s a mechanical governor. Stuck injectors = see ya later. The only time they stay at shutoff is a Woodward hydraulic and they need engine oil pressure before they start to move the rack.

@@Jon_Flys_RC Yes very true.:) I just fired up my 3-53T after 3 years of sitting and one injector was stuck in the full fuel position.:) I just exercised the injector, it's rack and it freed up.:) I modified this engine to the modern single screw spring rack, so it wouldn't run away even with the one injector stuck open.:)

Very true, If the airbox drain are plugged this could happen. Thanks for watching.:)

Thanks for watching.:)

Thanks, yes the 6V53 has two airbox cover on each side of the block. Covers can be removed and a borescope used to inspect the liners.:)

That's true, but when the rack is stuck full throttle, then the governor cant limit the speed.:)

Lol, thanks for watching.:)

Pull the valve covers and free up the stuck injector. May be more than one after sitting eight years.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 Ok I will watch your next video in-series and will do that. I also subscribed to your channel because your videos are awesome for Detroit Diesel owners. Thanks again!

Thanks and thanks for watching.:)

Hi, I have 8v92t silver where are these air shut off flap located? Also been having a bit oil or fuel leak possibly from turbo to side of blower ? Is this dangerous and is what your talking about leaking seals in blower ? Or you referring to oil seals inside blower ?

When they go they sure go.:) Thanks for watching.:)

then what happened?............dont leave us in suspense!

@@wazza33racer All injectors are freed up and the engine is started for the first time in 25 years.:) Runs well and will be a future project after the 353 and 253 are finished.:) Thanks for watching.:)

Lol, very true.:) Before I new these engines well, I used to use a phone book.:)

It all depends on the condition of the injector. I replace badly seized and worn injectors, but keep the newer ones that aren't seized so bad.:) To free them up I take them apart and use penetrating oil and soft brass to free them up. If they don't come back to being free and spraying well I replace them.:) Here's a recent video I did freeing some 8V71 injectors.:) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bpyIqKWW1Mytp5s.html

Wow nasty, I've seen broken injector before.:) Thanks for sharing.:)

For most diesel with external injection pumps this is the case. For Detroit Diesels this is different as each injector is it's own pump. Once the rack is stuck in the fuel fuel position the governor no longer controls the fuel to the injectors. This cause the engine to runaway in a similar way other diesels run away from oil. If a Detroit runs away, you can stop it by either shutting off the air or fuel source.

@@detroitgarage9430 ok, so basically it can drink as much fuel as it wants since the governor is not controlling it anymore?

@@invisiblekid7374 Yes it will drink fuel and eventually come apart, or seize up. Same results if it were to run away on it's crank case oil.

Possibly Archoil might work or a similar product. The best prevention is to keep good fuel in it and run it regularly.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 yep.

What governor do you have? Thanks for watching.:)

Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching.:)

A little play is normal.:) I'll do a video when I swap out the weights from single to double. I have a nice double weight I'll swap in.:) Thanks for watching.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 nice thanks,like i love watching your vidoes so informal and interesting,i wouldnt be doing what im doing if not watching them,it gives me so munch confidence as these engines are like mysterious,not alot of info on them,just on new engines,even back then when i bought this boat 1995 no information anywhere but the manuals .thanks mario

@@TheMatrixgod Thanks I'm glad they help.:)

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching.:)

I've used flat washers and brass spacers to shim mine. Call PCIndustries and they should have the shims. www.powerlinecomponents.com/ Thanks for watching.:)

Yes, I made one for my 3-53T from a 4-53T rack. Here's what I did.:) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oseEe9yZutSte2w.html

No, only the N models with the 2 screw racks have them. The 4-53T's don't have them. I'm not sure if the later N models had the spring racks or not, but if the did they might have done away with the air flapper on those as well.:)

Possibly, run it with the valve cover off to have a look. Is it making oil? Leaking injector cups usually leak coolant, but if the injector clamp is loose can cause compression to leak past. By pulling the cover and running it for a while you'll be able to see if anything is leaking.:) Thanks for watching.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 thanks,your videos are far from the best ive seen and learned so munch,im still waiting for the blower to come in and i will defiantly check that,what you said about the injector clamp loose sounds like the problem,and the other thing i noticed,when you did the timing,you mentioned the order the engine fires and looking up my model its a right hand turning engine,so when the mechanic did it 2years ago i clearly remember him doing a left hand rotation timing and in the manual the engine is a right hand so the engine is not tuned right,after seeing your videos im confident i can tune the engine and torq the engine also,thanks mario

@@TheMatrixgod Thanks, take your time and follow the steps in the manual and she'll be good as new.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 well received the blower today and a little disappointed,someone told me to exchange the blower rather than rebuild,but the exchange one looks alot older than mine as mine was a 94,but what bothers me is that its all pitted with holes where the inlet attaches to,even rust in the holes,all along where the gasket attaches inket side of the blower,so i called back the place and thinking of rebuilding the one i gave them and just exchanging this one,the ups is more expensive than the job,haha and then another thing popped up and the governor housing which i sent all together came,they i guess cleaned it and painted the exterior,but looking at the interior where the weights are on the shaft,i see cracks on the housing,one is like a inch and other small,now im not sure if the housing was already cracked or maybe in the shipping,but what i dont get is they cleaned all the oil and painted the exterior,how can you not see the cracks,when i was not even looking at that and found them,maybe thats why they didnt attach the governor housing to the blower,haha, but now not sure what to do,maybe they were there from the start ,maybe it wont cause any issues,so not sure what to do with that,the blower i was going to send back but after seeing all this not sure if i even want to work with these guys,anyways thanks for responding and sorry so long,thanks mario

@@TheMatrixgod That's nasty, I hope you get your old blower back or another in better shape.:)

Sure.:)

@detroitgarage9430 he says it runs real good and then cuts out going down the road then comes right back in the more he drove it better it got would you have any ideas I noticed he drives it like a normal diesel he doesnt wind the ol Detroit should be

@@erickbell1691 Sounds like fuel starvation.:) Check fuel filters and fuel lines.:) If not fuel starvation, check fuel shut off solenoid.

Sweet thank you man I'll do it this will be my first one I've been a fan of the old Detroits since I was a kid working on them will be a new experience

@@erickbell1691 You'll love them, really simple engine.

It's hard to answer your question without seeing exactly where and how much oil fuel is leaking. It's better to isolate and repair the leak.:) The fuel shutoff turn the fuel rack to no fuel and the shuts down. Get a copy of a Detroit 92 Series manual and have a read on it as they cover all the aspects of this engine. Detroit make really good easy to read manuals and is an asset to have.:) Thanks for watching.:)

8V71 RH rotation is 1L-3R-3L-4R-4L-2R-2L-1R. Thanks for watching.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 Thank you my grand master.

Most runaways are not due to touching the governor, but by stuck racks. Governors are very simple, easy to adjust and rebuild.:)

True, it’s to bad people do that, but they are just chasing views. They can make far more on the run away videos than trying to sell the engine. Thanks for watching.:)

If I remember correctly I think it's 1964.:)

@detroitgarage9430 I did on 1978 a671 with supercharger that my first to change new o rings and rubber stings for head NO GASKET I am learning interesting I am deaf 🇵🇷 guy diesel mechanic

Three belts first belts for fan and air compression...second belts for ALT and air compression and third belts for steering power back of motor I saw that old motor wow

8 cycle head straight not "V"

@@user-gl4nz3mk5l It certainly has room for a lot of belts.:) THis engine came off an idustrial application, was rebuilt in 1995 and never used.:)

Very true.:)

Thanks for stopping by.:)

Runaway vs open rack

It doesn't matter if it's running away on oil or fuel, the results are the same. With a stuck rack in the open position the engine is ungoverned. Although the fuels may be different, (diesel or oil) both condition result in the same ending.:) Thanks for watching.:)

@@detroitgarage9430 ohhhhhh k I have a better understanding of it now

Another question.. before I ask tho bare with me cause some questions may sound dumb but it’s because there so many conflicting stories of Detroit diesels or pretty much any diesel but it’s honestly frustrating and aggravating because I hear this about Detroit and ok I believe it to be true but then I hear something else about the engine… when I realize the person has no idea what they are talking about… it aggravates me because I spent all that time tryna learn but then I have to learn it all over again… it’s just fucking aggravating and I don’t even know what question I was gonna ask you

Examples- 2 stokes don’t have much power and a 4 stroke is more powerful, then I see a video on KZfaq saying 2 strokes or more power… or can’t use 2 strokes on the road anymore because they are illegal, then I hear the 71 series is old and are no longer in production and they don’t make parts for it anymore but then I flip on a channel and this guy Building a brand new 71 series with all the parts and everything

Thanks for stopping by.:)

This one happens to be 1958, thanks for watching.:)

Not for everyone that's for sure.:) Thanks for watching.:)

It smells like communism in here

I'm in Kelowna, about 5 hrs from Tsawwassen. I'll give you a call tomorrow evening if that's ok with you?

@@detroitgarage9430 ... sounds good, anytime after 1830 'til 2100 or so works ... thanks, K Mc

They should be nice and free.:) The rack should spring back quickly with no binding or resistance. Sounds like yours is working correctly.:) The resistance added is usually just a spring so it goes to idle quickly after.:)

@@detroitgarage9430thank you sir
