      Not really they couldn't even make a million miles before rebuild, blame liners would crack before half that while guzzling more fuel than any other diesel that makes the same if not more power that has more longevity. They aren't worth the hassle of working on, fuel rack sticks and it's done.

      Remember with a 2 stroke there are twice the fireing events as a 4 stroke so they can't be made to be efficient. Lug one down and it's super easy to ruin it in a short span.... No they don't last forever, they can be too easily ruined. Oil bath filters....

      Wow, so many uniformed armchair opinions, and 99% have never even heard one run in real life.. those engines moved America, they built America, they were the workforce that made life easier. They were in everything, trains, buses, trucks, construction, powerplants, farm, .... they deserve more respect..
      I was raised on these engines, and still have a 6v-92ddec, in a running vehicle... The 8v71 with a turbo, could do 500 horsepower, all day long.. wide open, 2450 rpm at 500 ponies, all day long..they do it in boats every day.. emissions limit the power on land... Just for fun, Google these engines horsepower ratings, under military use.. fuel milage? Really? At 40 tons, nothing above 55mph gets any fuel milage... 5 mpg is not fuel milage.. the turbo, is the trick to these engines, the latter ones, disengaged the blower, when the turbo spooled up, freeing up 100 horsepower, and about 20% better fuel milage.
      But guys, you are all 3 or 4 dollar a gallon for fuel, junkies.. back in our day, it was 17 cents a gallon.. no one, but a sissy, even mentioned fuel milage... No one cared...

It's at 9887 hours on the tach (Which is original) and hasn't needed a rebuild yet. It probably makes something in the low 100's for torque and probably about 30hp, but it still runs great.
      It's power to weight ratio isn't great (it's naturally aspirated), it's good on fuel and it's really really loud, but that doesn't matter because it's tough and dependable, unlike today's modern crap.

I drive a desiel for a living with over a million miles under my belt, the more complex, the more I'm on the side of the highway, close to once per month on average, 9 out of 10 times its emission controls. The only thing that has "advanced" is emission controls and high pressure fuel delivery causing more trouble than it's worth by a LONG shot.

      Hm, as a foreigner I'm unsure of what runaway really means, but I assume it's a point where for some reason you can't stop the engine from going full RPM, right? When I was young I crashed my Oldmobile Bravada, think it had a 4,7 L V6. It was only mildly damaged in the front and was still running fine, so I drove home after the crash. I was kind of horrified when I left the highway where I had floored the gas (the only way to get that old tank moving) and the engine kept going full throttle even though I lifted my foot of the gas pedal. I pushed on the brakes which slowed me down somewhat, but the engine still kept pushing. I hammered the gas pedal a couple times and got whatever was stuck unstuck and the engine returned to normal...but that was quite the additional adrenelin kick, as if I hadn't had enough that night already...

    I wasn't surprised that it took that long. Back in the eighties I used to rebuild those engines. They were a sweet running engine oh, that one and the 6V 71. Those and the 855 Cummins were my favorite engines to work on. Naturally aspirated it isn't quite correct. Those old Detroit's had blowers on them plus a turbo. Almost brings a tear to my eye to watch you blow one up on purpose. In the shop we had a piece of plywood always at hand whenever we started up one of those Detroit's after a rebuild, ready to stick it over the turbo inlet, close off the air supply, just in case that thing started to go. They were such high revving engines that I think you could make a good race truck with one of them old Detroit's

    • @metalmusicbs6868
      @metalmusicbs6868 Před rokem +5

      It is naturally aspirated, and that's a blower not a supercharger. It's naturally aspirated because it's required for the engine to run. It only is a supercharger on gas engines or engines that don't need them to run. Hence super charging them

    • @furyfantoo
      @furyfantoo Před rokem

      Naturally-aspirated means the engine injests intake air at atmospheric pressure. Turbocharged and supercharged engines use the devices to pressurize the intake air, to increase engine power by providing more mass of air, which can then allow the engine to burn more fuel and make more power from the same engine displacement.

      @@austinr09 I know that was a waste or as my dad would say sacrilege. If had that truck and soon as I got the motor running and knowing it runs good I would of drained the fluids out then got a hoist pulled the motor out and loaded it into a trailer and took it home. I then would clean it up and repaint and restore it and find something whether it be a tractor or truck to put then engine into. Oh and while I am at it I would throw on a pair of turbochargers too.
      Heck if i could find an IH 1066 with no motor and drop this 8V71 into it after its been souped with with header and twin turbos

      And to think how many classic old trucks, older yachts and sport fishing boats, commercial fishing/crabbing boats, even larger generators coulda used that engine which appeared to be very good internally after sitting 10 years or so, it didn't smoke so the rings were evidently not stuck, it woulda been a great replacement for any of the aforementioned categories for a failed one with a spun bearing or something. But not now. I don't get destruction of perfectly good things but there's plenty of it of all shapes and sizes on CZcams. I'll never understand it.
