Ya actually I do, was a field service heavy equipment mechanic , worked on a few and know people that worked on them heavily in the late 70s and 80s. Amazing how fast they could R&R Terex scraper engine packs but when they had to do it as part of regular maintenance I guess you get good at it.
Im not saying they arent great engines and can be tough as hell but thats not all of them, kinda like the Ford/Internationals 6.no.
Parts back in the day were very reasonable, but after MTU got control of the two strokes the parts prices went nuts..
Many problems were caused by either excessive idling or running multi-viscosity oil.
Keep them *****es against the governor and straight weight 40 oil in the base...they will clock 10’s of thousands of happy engine hours.
Ozy, that is the engine that powered the construction of our highway infrastructure. Trucks, dozers, shovels, drill rigs, etc...most were powered by Series 53, 71 and in later years 92 Detroit’s.
Dirt simple fuel system, no injection pump. Only a fuel transfer pump. Fuel went into and out of the cylinder head in fuel rails.
Will find you some pictures.
Four exhaust valves (early versions only had two), no intake valves. So each cylinder has 3 rocker arms, two outside ones for exhaust and center one for the injector. Fuel tubes bring fuel from the rail to the injector and back to the fuel return rail..
