Can you set up another "Viking funeral" with a random big liter diesel, sucking in a balloon full of Tannerite? Like say having a tube plumbed to the intake. Trap-door-drop a sausage shape balloon full of tannerite into the intake of an 8v71 or turbo of a 4-stroke. Yeah, that would be great to see what happens.

As a mechanic that started out in the mid-70's, I worked for a nation-wide trucking company that, (at that time,) was 100% 6 and 8V-71s. Oil leaks? If you didn't add a gallon every time you got fuel, you started to worry something was wrong. You didn't mention them, but each side of the block had "air-box drains," which were tubing that allowed the excess oil shoved though the whole system go drip, and drip they did. A driver that idled an engine for any decent period of time wound up with two 6 inch or better circles of oil underneath, and going down the road slathered the underside of the truck all the way to the rear axles! California eventually outlawed them, which was the demise of Detroit Diesels as highway trucks. Thanks for this! A walk down memory lane. . .!!!

gac914 The old timer I worked with referred to them as “Green Leakers”. I’ve only worked on a few, but the memorable one that sticks out was a Roadway truck with a 6V-71. Like you said, it was POURING oil out the air box drains and the scale bitched at them to get it fixed. They brought it to us and we told them it was wore the hell out, but they weren’t having it. We were directed by them to install a ball valve in the drain tubes in no uncertain terms. Did as instructed, and a week later that poor bastard looked like a duck covered in crude from the Exxon Valdez oil spill. It promptly became their yard dog for moving trailers........But the sound of those damn things-- PURE SEX.

@@DieselDoc78 Yeah, and they were pretty fast on acceleration, too! The other thing I remembered after writing the first one was, it was definitely possible to run them "backwards," and doing so they would start sucking the engine oil out and run on that. How do I know?? I had it happen to me once, and the only way in those days to tell was they had mechanical tachometers and while the engine would run, the tach wouldn't. They would run backwards if you didn't give it enough throttle while on a slight incline, and it would reverse the direction. REALLY bad if you didn't catch it right away -- fortunately I realized it quickly and dumped the clutch while holding the brake to stall it!! Fun days, for sure!! (BTW, I can't believe they'd have you guys install shut-offs on the box drains -- there was a management decision by someone who didn't know what they were doing, for sure!!! :-)

There was a way to prevent the oil problem. Airsep made units that went on them to pull the fumes out of the crankcases. We ran ours with a restricted filter so that it put the crankcase under a vacuum. Then the only place the oil could go was out the exhausts. After it was burned in the engine. Still you needed to add 2 quarts of oil every 24 hours of running. We changed the oil every 300 hours of operation.
@gravelydon70723 жыл бұрын
@Harry. B. Renner. jr. We ran ours at 1800 RPM normally and not less than 1400 RPM under load in stationary use. If they ran under load at 1200 RPM, you would see unburnt fuel in the exhaust pipes. We actually saw it drip out of the plugs on the bottom of our mufflers so we restricted them to 1400 RPM or above. The overspeeds were set to trip at 1900 RPM so we did have a little fudge factor if needed but then we had to worry about prop cavitation.

so, those holes in the head and block, were actually there on purpose! Those were the holes that were used to mate two blocks and heads together when they wanted more than 8 cylinders. The 16v71. Since the 2 stroke cycle does not care about engine rotation direction, they would bolt the front of 2 blocks together, and the front block would turn backwards. They could make V6, V8, V12, V16, and V24 units to order. Many had long joined camshafts that were just turned around to match the new rotation direction. The V12 was a pair of V6's bolted together. The V16 and V24 were V8 blocks bolted together. These were the first truly Modular engines, and only died due to emissions.

The Cleveland and Electro Motive Diesel engines are almost the exact same layout as the Detroit's. of course they dont part for part change over, but they are the same 2 stroke system. Intake ports, 4 exhaust valves, cam shaft controlled injectors. EMD has shaft driven turbos for the forced induction engines, as well as because the EMD motors have assembled blocks instead of cast. So they just build the block with more cylinders, 8, 12, 16, 20

What's cooler than a 2-stroke Detroit? The big 2-stroke locomotive engines made by GM's Electro-Motive Division, the EMD 567, 645, and 710 (that's CI displacement per cylinder, just like Detroits). The 567 was also developed in the late 1930s by the same engineering team, and is twice the bore and twice the stroke of a Detroit Series 71. EMD engines have fabricated (welded) blocks, and individual cylinders (power assemblies) can be removed and replaced fairly easily. Unlike Detroits, turbocharged EMDs do not have roots blowers, instead the turbo has a clutch and receives an assist from the geartrain when idling or at lower speeds. The clutch disengages once there is enough exhaust pressure for the turbo to start freewheeling. EMDs are all 45 degree V engines, with power outputs ranging from the 600 HP roots-blown 6-567 all the way up to the 5500 HP turbocharged 20-710. The 567 is a legend in the railroad world, as it more than anything else is what killed the steam locomotive. EMD is now owned by Caterpillar and the 710 engine is still in new production today, being used in locomotives, ships and stationary generators all over the world. Unfortunately it failed to meet the EPA's Tier IV emissions standards, so has not been used in new U.S. market locomotives built after December 2014.

General Electrics basically redesigned the EMD engines, not sure if they owned the patent or owned EMD for a while, refined the powerpack concept to make the 30k hour overhaul a lot faster. Welded liner to the head, common rail injection(or at least something very similar), new turbo, It's been a while but that's some of the things I remember from when I was over in Eerie PA taking a V250 engine class. Never really got to put any of it into practice as my boss ended the contract with GE not long after I was over there. Did a bunch of work on a few old EMD's though, marine application, those things were hellish to do bottom end bearings on due to the tiny crank case hatches and a sloppy as fuck special tool for the main bearing nuts. I remember always getting a laugh outta the manual telling you to tip the block over on its side. Replacing the spring drive for the turbo was also always a fun one, that rear timing cover is pretty unwieldy, not to mention the exhaust plumbing _never_ lining up properly. At least adjusting the valves was super quick, turn down until the adjuster touches, 1.5 rotation back and set. Adjusting the injector racks took a bit more finagling but was manageable. Anyway, ancient history by now, not even sure if any of those old barges still float or got recycled yet.

It can launch the dipstick across a 25 ft wide room. And the engine just keeps on running. Took three oil changes to get the smell of the Diesel fuel out of the crankcase oil.

We were unhappy if we couldn't get them to .003" at the max on the dial indicator. That is how close we set things.

Recalling my high school days ( Some years ago that's all I say ) I lived out in a census designated place out in Kern county. Miles away from the high school. About 16 miles in to town. Well, I was fortunate enough to ride an old crown school bus. It was a tandem axle. It had one of these 8v71. Well one day after school, we would all tell our bus driver "Home James!!!" Yeah his name was James. He was a good guy and an old diesel mechanic. Well one day after school, he was struggling to get it to start. it WOULD NOT start to save its life. I was one of the back of the bus rowdies even though I was a freshman. Well he cranked on it and cranked on it and CRANKED on it some more. Went it cranked up, it had a stuck rack...We were all on the bus. That sucker starts to wind up!.. All we heard was BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA! James calmly grabbed the CO2 extinguisher and opened the engine bay and snuffed it out till it died. I was in auto class... One of our projects was to remove the engine and check it for defects and free the rack up. Got to rebuild the engine and the city mechanics put the engine back in the bus... Good times!!!

He said they'd run those engines to the gates of hell and if it busted a piston they'd just unbolt that rod and keep on going with one less cylinder. He said when you're in a hot zone, you did what you had to do to survive _and those old Detroit Diesels didn't give up easily!_

This should give you an idea of how tough a Cummins motor is. In April of 97 my mom had a heart attack while I was an OTR driver. I found out at the Kentucky Tennessee line on I 24. I told my boss let Illinois know what was going on and that I was coming in hot. My boss routinely gave around 10k a year to the local state police station for their charity's and other things they asked for donations for. I was driving an 88 IH with a mildly boosted 444 underneath the hood turning a 13 double overdrive transmission with a .5 final with 3.55 rears on 11r24.5 rubber. I literally couldn't go into 13th gear below 70 mph without lugging the motor. Well I pretty much flew across Kentucky get to Illinois and I see 2 Illinois state troopers in the median they see my truck and say driver we are your escorts to get you home faster. You can set the pace and go as fast as necessary to get home. I dropped the hammer on the go pedal and didn't lift until I got home. Motor wasn't happy with me by the end. 3 hours of 2200 run out of 2400 possible rpm and I was demanding every single pony she had. I dropped the wagon bobtIled to the yard and she was sounding like a bucket of bolts in the crankcase by the end. This was Saturday. By Monday morning they had pulled the engine apart and gave me the news; I had burned #2 completely thru and swallowed 4 intake and exhaust Valles total. Yet she got me home. She was overhauled with the right parts for massive hp. I'm talking 850 minimum under full load. Today she's still around hauling grain and other stuff for a close friend of mine. She's got over 2 million on her clock and he has no plans to retire her.

the funny thing is that after all of the mistreatment its seen, that cummins could still be overhauled and rebuilt into a running, useable engine. just goes to show that those oldies really were built to last

Have you tried 93 octane unleaded with castor oil 2 stroke in it. I not only filled a 6-71 with quicksilver TCW3 syntheic 2 stroke oil. i dumped in some old gas/oil outboord mix in to fuel tank ofor this winch motor. it stared easier, ran better and oil stayed cleaner! there was a guy who bult a 2 stroke out of a 5 cylinder mercedes diesel om617 and ran it on regular gas! It was a poppet valved 2 stroke and is that what you did on yours?

Well the education continues - Thank you! While I mentioned before I wasn't a diesel mechanic but a mechanic I am. I used to volunteer for a railroad museum and got my hands dirty a lot on locomotive engine. I would be shown how to do a task and off I went. With that said General Motors Locomotives had two strokes in them and I thought that the "blower" was like a turbo with a diffent drive. Little did I realize that the purpose for that blower was for the two stroke air exchange. Again thank you for the education!! Love your video's.................

That was a overreved or ungoverned engine. A run away is a diesel that is fueling itself with its own oil.

My thoughts exactly, runs away on oil vapour not an ungoverned injection. Youd expect lack of lubrication to sieze the engine up proper

Stuck injector runaways are more common with detroit's. Though I do agree with your statement. But since most of them don't have turbos, you'd have to greatly overfill the crankcase oil for it to run away
