silver Detroit's have such big oil coolers they sometimes get in the way of stuff. What do you think about deleting the oil cooler and running a remote in front of the radiator? I've been thinking about that for a while, but the darn water pump becomes a problem.

How do you keep track of all those bolts, what goes where? I see you put lots in tin cans. You must have a good memory! Thanks for the video.

Is there a stand alone controller to run the 5r110 in your superduty?

I'm rebuilding a 4-53 and need to pull the liners. I see those liner remover tools like you used, a pin, but they are like $50. Could you make one for me? I would pay you for that of course. Thank you.

Hey there's a RUclipsr j.c.smithprojects who's trying to get rid of a running 453. There's a recent short on his channel about it, last one at the top. Just letting you know if you might be interested in another engine or if you know anyone who looking for one. I didn't see an email for you so this is the only way I can relay the message to you.

Awesome swap! I have an old Clark Forklift with a 3-53 in it, what would you recommend for oil? Think the Valvoline VR1 Racing SAE40 would be as good as any or should I go with a Rotella T1 SAE40, or would a more common/easy to find 15w40 be ok? I have no idea on service history or whats in it currently, but it runs like a top, just needs some maintenance - it has the original belts on it and every grease fitting took about 20 pumps to hear it coming out. Thanks in advance and great info on the channel!! Oh, any other suggestions or things to keep my eyes open for on this old girl? Thanks so much!!

Just thought I would share a link to my project truck. ruclips.net/video/gHPZ-Ty8DoE/видео.htmlsi=YUCbVn37fkErKzdX

good info..

I thought you said you were leaving the back cap at 50 ?

Is there any chance an 8v92 fits?

The level of integration into the Ford pickup is what’s truly amazing here. A lot of folks can put a Detroit and big, lazy old Allison in a newer chassis and have it run and move…..you made this 60 year old engine design work with the factory gauges, factory dash / HVAC setup…..and that’s an electrical nightmare. Truly all the props go to you for such a clean, well integrated install.

Finally got to try to fire up my 4-53N and had no luck ....the rack was stuck on two injectors ....and those same two injectors were also stuck, or rather they depressed and stuck once i rolled the engine over. Odd thing those injectors are both C50's cyl 1 and 3 .....cylinders 2 and 4 freed up and they are both N50's. Is there any reason two run mismatched injectors and better yet is there good reason not too?

great stuff, thanks as always for sharing. a coupla questions, if you have a moment, please - what is different with your modified cam, running in the Ford? - how does the amended pressure setting changes things, with your modified blower bypass? - would you consider doing a similar tear-down, of a Bivens 8V96, for us all to learn about the magic modifications? )

Do you know of anyone who has installed a screw compressor in place of the roots blower?

In addition to the mentioned differences, didn't T blowers also have revised rotor to rotor and rotor to housing clearances to accommodate higher temperatures and larger rotor flex?

The blow by on turboed Ns is the piston the oil drain back holes in the top oil ring groove let turbo boost from the airbox blow into the crankcase drive pins or rivets can be driven into the drain back holes to prevent the blowby problem. The wide oil ring in the top groove is another way to control blowby on the N,T combination the piston skirts and oil ring package is a good piston to look at to see the changes on T engines to stop blow-by and.oil consumption

👍

I like roller 🛼🎢 bearings ceramic coating portable boxs cutter depends on the mm diameter of crankshaft n cam skf split cage cooper bearing let it roll instead of weld some use copper but I like letting it roll not weld

Thanks for the breakdown helped me find the issue with my pump. Fuelreturn thermostat tired, random fuel pressures throughout a day of driving. Changed everytime the truck was allowed to cool down.

My dad used a 4-53 Detroit diesel in his 1954 clam boat. He owned it for nearly thirty years and didn’t have a single problem with it.

1040! Incredible machine. We had one at PenAir. True outlier with tons of capabilty! Thanks for the nostalgia!

I think the t was more like 85 horsepower. Not 185

It would be nice to section a cracked cylinder head with a bandsaw to see if it's possible to machine dogbones in. Might be a good mod. The reason I mention it, Wayne on Ol2Stroker last week was showing the world's only common rail 8V92 and they stressed it in racing and it failed. Its heavily modified. Anyhow, after solving one problem they cracked a cylinder head (or both) and I said in the comments, "You overcome one power limiting factor - the Detroit injection system only to find the cylinder heads are now the weak spot. Hot rodding that." "He replied, we have a plan." We'll have to wait I suppose since the vid was only a few days ago (but there might be a lead time in his vids so who knows?). After you showed the dogbone in the head surface, I can't help but wonder if it's possible now and that might be how they solve cracking at very high power outputs. (I'm saving this comment in Word to repost just in case lol)

Very good Thanks

HP-what percent of aftermarket parts you are using are chinesium?

Compared to the 1970's or 1980's.........turbo's have progressed a a lot to where they are now. Generally speaking, the compressor sections pump more boost at lower temperatures......it can be as much as 50% more air density.

yeah the blower drives were a problem on engines such as the 6v53 turbo

Thank you for this video. I've been around a lot of N's and remember maybe one T but never looked at the inside of a silver. I'm smarter after watching! Lol . This kind of educational video is great. Thank you again.

Is it possible to correspond with you directly somehow? ...I have a similar old project truck ( 52 gmc 630) and would like some input on a few of the project goals and how i plan to achieve them. I value your input as you have a similar situation to mine here in Alaska as far as parts and weather and general expectations. As far as range and being remote and possibly a little farther from roadside assistance

Whats your trans and gearing? Asking for a friend 😅

Thanks for the great video. Nice to see the difference on the 453's. The GMC's in the late 70's with the 453T's were horrible. Noisy, stunk of diesel, leaked oil, bad power band. But the 453T's were replaced by the Detroit 8.2L Fuel Pincher. What a disaster.

Had blower drive gears fail alot on 353 slack in teeth noise broke teeth on backhoes old 190 Dynahoe

The main oil gallery on a N series is 5/8 inch diameter and on the T series the main oil gallery is 3/4 inch diameter for more oil to cool the pistons and as you said the larger oil cooler is there to keep temperatures under control and a very good talk about 53 series history and development thank you Detroit Garage well done. The dyno should be fun.

U don't happen to have the rotor part number. I have a blower off a N 4-53 that looks like yours. One rotor froze and cracked. Rest of it looks fine

I always wondered about putting a radius on the liner ports to let the air in better?

Great vid

Hola Señor ,veo sus vídeos. Tengo un problema con un 3.53 muy antiguo .me sube aceite a un cilindro saliendo por el escape .es mucha cantidad ,se le colocaron aros nuevos ,las camisas son muy usadas . Estoy en argentina. Revice nuevamente aros y pistón sin encontrar nada . Usted me podría dar su opinión ya que preciso hacerlo funcionar los otros dos cilindros andan bien ,sin nada raro ..solo el tercero me hace ese problema .bueno Se espero pueda leer el texto y darme su opinión,por acá no hay muchos motores de esos .pero bueno ,es muy sencillo,pero tengo ese problema y no le encuentro lógica del por qué. Desde ya muchísimas gracias .mi nombre es Marcelo y soy de Bs As ..gran abrazo ,y exelente los videos suyos .

Thank you so much for sharing this. Makes me feel as though I can use most of what I have ( '76 453N) without courting disaster to bad.

Good job and thank you. I run a 4-53N in my old USN utility boat which now serves as an USCG Auxiliary Patrol Facility. Always wondered if slapping a turbo on would be helpful. Now I know better. Cudos for putting a DD4-53 into a F350!

Nice info on these motors. I think the turbine measurements are in mm and not inches.

👍

Olá, faça um teste com tinner PU mesmo sem desmontar, pra descolar o elemento do bico! Prende na morsa e introduza o tinner pelo niple de entrada e vá acionando a cremalheira, devagar. Repita, se necessário e, posteriormente, vá acionando a mola do êmbolo junto com o movimento da cremalheira e estará livre pra desmontar e limpar efetivamente. Isso é bem rápido e ñ corre o risco de perder o elemento/êmbolo da bomba, ok?

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Excellent, great information thank you.

I'd love a 4-53 Silver Series in little S10 single-cab.

It would be fun to convert 4-53 to common rail like Wayno's friend did to crusty fat cab

*Detroit School*

Is the bypass valve the same on all Detroit engines i.e 53 to 92? How do you know if it's working or not? I would love to see you take one apart and rebuild it if that's a thing.

Have you had the transmission pan off to check the internal filter and bottom of the pan for wear materials since you’ve had this transmission in the truck? I love cutting g filters and seeing how they did.
