Gents,
Detroit Diesel built literally millions of two stroke Diesel engines
from Series 53/71/92/110 and God knows how far up in size they went. I used
to work for the Railroad in the from the early 70' to the late 80's and I
can tell you from experience, lift the top deck cover from an EMD
567/645/710 series engine (The model engine numbers on EMD engine <two
stroke only> refer to the cubic inch displacement per cylinder) and all your
looking at is a Detroit Diesel a lot bigger (8x1/2x10/9x1/16x10/9x1/16x11
inches respectively) than the average mechanic ever saw in a
truck/generator/pump whatever type of installation. I do believe if you were
to drop by Penske Detroit Diesel you'd find the machine still today turning
out a lot of parts for the old two cycle. And unlike like common (?) opinion
they will run without oil leaks if assembled properly. To comply with the
list a Detroit 4-53T (4 cylinder turbo 53 inches per cylinder) should not
overpower a M-35 series drive train but I don't want to drive it!!!! Only
fault I have with the old two strokes is LOTS OF NOISE!!
