@@PetroPowerLtd I am on the other side of the globe, and I work on the electric maintenance , came a cross on the old Detroit 2-stroke V12 diesel engine in the 300 KW power plant, left as valid and functional, has not been working for the last 6-8 years, can you help me with some guidance and instructions on what to do to start properly for the first time and to avoid or warn the run-away situation ??? Thanks in advance!
I worked for a Detroit Diesel distributor back in the 1970s when the 16V71 was used in the oilfields and locomotives. They were amazing engines and the technology that Rich details in this video is just an introduction to all you could do with them. I worked on Series 53, 71 and 92, but didn't get to service the 149s, which were used in huge locomotives and transcontinental cargo ships. Red Adair, who was the oilfield firefighter that John Wayne's character was based on in the movie "The Hellfighters," used Detroit Diesels because they were comparatively light, produced quick torque, and parts were available everywhere in the world.
The 149s were used to drive frac pumps. (Not just 149’s, but turbo aftercooled 149s). The noise during a job could be felt. Sad the 2 strokes went, but these engines were complicated…lots of parts.
3:45 If it's stuck at full rack, that is considered a runaway. It will go way beyond 2300 RPM since the governor won't be able to limit fuel delivery. There's a huge difference between "full throttle" and "full rack".
It seems the giveaway for when it is a runaway (rather than just revving up beyond the governor) is when the black smoke is pouring out. It cant get any more air in so it goes rich as possible while still making power hence the rolling coal horror show.
Just finished my first semester of diesel technology. A Detroit 6v92 was the first engine I took apart in class. Those engines are pretty cool, I’ve been fascinated with them since I laid hands on one.
I'm one of those guys that was not too happy when you blew that thing up. You were on my list for a while (you know which list) but you recovered nicely with this clip. Now when you get your hands on those other Detroits..be careful not to break anything. We're watching you!
Deutz, Stihl, Sachs and Hatz were some badass German 2 stroke diesel. Look up Holder tractors they had 500 or 600 diesels on these. I one saw a hatz 2 stroke diesel on s dirt stomper that hand crank start. It’s had a separate oil tank on the side also. You had to make sure the tank cap was tight or when she goes bouncing you have a mess.
I like that beastly fan hub. I engineered a fan drive for a Cummins QSK19 for an Atlas Copco Wagner 50 ton underground haul truck. I flipped through old DD drawings and found the hub. Better than designing my own hub. A welded and machined offset bracket bolted up to the Cummins block. Add a custom crank pulley and done. Well, added a die spring and a jack screw setup to help properly tension the belt. Did a second engine installation using that fan hub and a DD Series 60 but never got it built. Sales thought they had a buyer but...
Great video, I never knew how these 2-stroke diesel worked until now. interesting 4 exhaust valves in the same configuration as a modern 4 value gasoline engine. Also interesting while the cams are in the block, the lifters/followers are in the head. And two cams in the block. When I was a kid in the 80s, i am pretty sure my old school busses had V6 Detroit diesels in the back as pushers. I still remember the sound those old blue-birds made after I got dropped off.
I remember pulling a blower off of one of these and thinking it was probably one of the coolest things i ever saw when i looked down inside at those intake ports.
We have same detroit 149 16v , it's on all old school mechanical UPS power. It's complete line alter+motor+flywheel+clutch then pedestal fitted with 16v.its 1250 kva. Takes under 3 secs.
Actually,they're called scavenging ports,not intake valves.The blower is not a supercharger, but is known as a scavenging blower.It does give some boost,but maybe 3-5 PSI.Very similar to a GM Electromotive Division locomotive engine.
What a beauty! Crazy to think how cheap fuel and oil was when this thing was engineered. Clearly gas mileage was no concern at that time, probably get a quarter mile to the gallon. Love it!! lol 🤯
bustin cheeks well cams racing said 8 v 71, there is a difference , the other choice other than v is in line such as the difference between a 6v 71 and an in line 6-71 , won't interchange I was just stating there is no in line 8- 71 (unless u make your own) By the way a 12 v 71 uses 2 blowers linked together ,FYI Just saying🤓
Many years ago I worked for a hydraulics company that serviced large earth movers. Euclid 150 ton dump trucks used these for power. It was not uncommon to see these in their shop with 3-4 connecting rod holes in the side of the block.
Hmm, 2min I just found a dozen 16v71!!! AWESOME! They are still out there everyone!!! And one motor rounds counterclockwise! My dad was the man that did what you just did and wrote the report on it^__^
If you ever get your hands on a DT466 I'd like to see you do something like this with that engine, this was a super cool video to watch. I've always been curious of these old 2 stroke Detroits.
I absolutely love Cummins you are like the best person I've ever found that actually works an doesn't it right an does a great job I was also woundering if you do out side work an wanted to see if you wanted to film a searies with it
I know the Detroit engines will run either direction and they sometimes start going the wrong way as you said. If you were to reverse direction, say for use in marine application, wouldn’t you need to do a few things such as oil pump and blower? I’m thinking them turning the wrong way wouldn’t put pressure out 🤷♂️
If your lookin to get rid of that double fuel filter setup i could really use it im looking to make my 6.9 idi a multi fuel truck and all i need is a better filter setup.
I need a running 8v71, reverse turning tho (and preferably set up slanted for transverse install in a GM bus), as close to the tri-state area as I can find..
Buy one of my Tapeboss inventions from www.tapeboss.com . There is a spot to leave a note. ask for the wood on there and i will throw it in the package
Those were always very cool, versatile, well thought out, well built engines. You do a great job of explaining the workings without any bullshit, nice job on these videos and the narrative. Still a suck job at destroying the one half but, wtf, I can see the logic to it. Be cool if someone found a use for the "good" half that's left.
How can they run backwards since the blowers are directional? If you spin them opposite direction, it would create vacuum, not pressure to the pistons/liners?
Compare to that motor I had a 8V71 background 1975 in a Peterbilt I thought that thing ran fast 16v92 at my age when I was 20 years old I would have been burning the tires off on the Grapevine Hill in California
I don't think the oil pump would work in reverse, I just can't think of a oil pump design that is reversible. Also, what about cam timing? Are the cams symetrical compared against TDC?
Btw, we had a two cylinder tractor that could reverse while running if you almost choked it. I only managed to do that while winching timber. We had to be quick to shut it off, because the oilpressure disappeared.
So my question in theory could you just unbolt the one block and have a v8? 2 stroke always been intrigued by 2 stroke diesels buddy has one in his dozer could listen to it for hours
What an interesting engine design! How long do they last in comparison to 4 stroke diesel s? 2 stroke gas engines tend to have lower life spans as I have seen
That's what Detroit numbers mean. 16 cylinders that are 71 cubic inches Hence 4-53 4-71 6-53 6-71 6-92 8-71 8-92 I think there are more but that's the idea
Its a credit to the engineers who originally designed the engine . They are a work of art and it just goes to show how much abuse the can sustain and still go ;-)

I’ve tried finding videos showing how these engines work. No one ever went into detail or explaining it in a way that I understood so now I know so I thank You.
I've been watching Detroit vids for years. There's a few good ones, you just have to know what to search for. There's so many variations on these Screamin Jimmies. 3-53, 4-53, 6V53, etc. They don't make much power, have a narrow power band, and usually leak everywhere, but they're so cool!
If you think these are cool and unusual, search for Commer engines on you tube. They were a truck and diesel engine manufactured in Australia. Still a 2-stroke diesel engine, sounds like a Detroit, but very unusual in the way they're built and run.
I drove an 80’s Mack that if you backed too hard into a pile of dirt it would stall and spin the engine the opposite way and would run in reverse. It ran like crap and it was weird seeing exhaust coming from the intake. It took me a minute to figure it out the first time it happened because it stopped and started backwards in a second so I didn’t realize it
I have some information on the Mexico head @19:00. I used to work at Detroit Diesel Remanufacturing and they started bringing in new bare castings from Mexico that we would CNC machine into a finished replacement head. The Mexico castings have had problems with QC and consistency of material. This option of head was usually cheaper for the initial re-man cost, but as you can tell with this example, would not usually hold up in the longevity department. These platforms were put on the back-burner of interests for Detroit Diesel at the time (especially for remanufactured replacements) because of the then-new development and marketing of their DD15 engines after the transition out of the series 60.
You can't save everything unless you have unlimited cash and unlimited space. And even then what needs to be saved or should be saved from rust or neglect etc probably won't include as a priority an engine that's needing a complete over haul of very expensive parts that there are probably dozens of in old army surplus or obsolete Oil Rig gear. There would more than likely be some in better shape. If Deboss says it's not in good shape I believe him! LOL. Thanks!
When I first saw you guys blow up the engine I was annoyed, but then after getting the bigger picture I understand.. Thanks for the breakdown on the engine. Well, done
Man you would have loved to see the 16v149s we used to run before "upgrading" to the MTU 4000. quad turbo, two blowers, dual intercoolers and about 4 square KMs of smoke when trying to start them at -30.

Corrections on the video: The engines are not ambidextrous, you can't switch the cranks around because the flanges are different. Also when they run backwards, they puke oil out the blowers and it's not good for them. You need to time the engines differently in the timing cover to get them to run backwards.
I'd be interested in a piston/Conrod.

Back to the scrap yard where I could be turned into 45 Hondas lol
Nah, they don't use iron in Hondas only plastic and aluminum allowed.
Maybe 4 Ferrari's!
I see why they blew it up, if it wasnt anything below a 12v71 then I would have did it as well, these engines way too big to put in ANYTHING useful.
I have some information on the Mexico head @19:00. I used to work at Detroit Diesel Remanufacturing and they started bringing in new bare castings from Mexico that we would CNC machine into a finished replacement head. The Mexico castings have had problems with QC and consistency of material. This option of head was usually cheaper for the initial re-man cost, but as you can tell with this example, would not usually hold up in the longevity department. These platforms were put on the back-burner of interests for Detroit Diesel at the time (especially for remanufactured replacements) because of the then-new development and marketing of their DD15 engines after the transition out of the series 60.
You can't save everything unless you have unlimited cash and unlimited space. And even then what needs to be saved or should be saved from rust or neglect etc probably won't include as a priority an engine that's needing a complete over haul of very expensive parts that there are probably dozens of in old army surplus or obsolete Oil Rig gear. There would more than likely be some in better shape. If Deboss says it's not in good shape I believe him! LOL. Thanks!
When I first saw you guys blow up the engine I was annoyed, but then after getting the bigger picture I understand.. Thanks for the breakdown on the engine. Well, done
lol he said breakdown
Nice dog
Man you would have loved to see the 16v149s we used to run before "upgrading" to the MTU 4000. quad turbo, two blowers, dual intercoolers and about 4 square KMs of smoke when trying to start them at -30.
You must work in the oilfield too.
