      ​@Bag0HaZe they were literally designed to start from cold, go full throttle and run all day like that. As long as the oil and fuel are there, they'll keep going. I talked to a specialist a while back and the biggest reason Detroits have to be pounded on to perform is because they were performance biased more than economy biased. They overscavenge the cylinders, and just adjusting the port timing and exhaust timing they become more efficient.

      "Water injection".
      Will do wonders when done properly.
      Then there is this...
      Had something close once when a VW 1.6 NA IDI I had JUST finished putting together & took it for a test drive. Took it on the road & it accelerated about 2x faster than it really should have...maybe 9 sec to get to 60 plus & 5th gear where normal is about 14sec. Problem was also that the temp gauge climbed just as quick. Culprit was cheap TTY head bolts stretched too soon (supposed to retorque after 500miles....not 2 miles) & too much (entire cooling system simultaneously feeding the motor & boiling over). Fortunately no damage...new MAHLE bolts + gasket & all was good.

      Actually, in tractor pulling most pullers have a system that inject water in the intake pipe between the intercooler and the engine. It serves two purposes first it Makes the air more dense and the explosions are more powerful and second it help to cool the engine down, it basicly acts like low Power nitrous Shots. With a setup like that you can make a 70hp diesel engine take Up 60+ pounds of boost whitout any problem and make the engine have 600hp.

    I have a fresh rebuilt 6v53 in a Timberjack skidder . The engine had been sitting in a crate for a few years and never installed. I put the machine together, and found a few sticky injectors. I managed to free them all up, except one. I spent hours trying to get it to stop sticking. I had a Detroit specialist stop by. He told me “do not start that engine or it will run away on you and you’ll never stop it. It will blow up. You need to replace every injector.” When he left, my dad said “we’re starting it up. To hell with that guy.” As soon as we hit the key, that fresh build ran right out of control, just like the guy said. However, through all the screaming (humans and the jimmy) we tgrough a piece of plywood over the intake, and we started pulling off fuel lines. We got her stopped, pulled off the valve cover, and all the injectors worked just as they should. We hit the key again, and she purred like a kitten. That was 20 years ago and that old machine is still running strong. My dad saved me $3000 in injectors! Thanks dad! RIP

    I'm 74. When I was about 25 I had a job driving a Brockway with an 8V71. I was still a rookie driver and one day way out in the country the linkage to the rack came loose. She went full throttle and I thought it was running away so I pulled the emergency stop. It didn't want to stop but finally did. Sitting in the middle of the highway I got out, raised the hood, figured out the problem, put the linkage back together, reset the emergency stop and fired it back up.
    I drove another 50 miles to the place where I was getting loaded. Everything seemed fine i Ioaded and headed back up the road. After about 100 miles I realized she was overheating. I was almost at our shop. I was running with three other trucks when I pulled in the shop and the others kept going it made the boss mad. He accused me of being lazy. I told him it was running hot. By that time I had put the emergency stop issue out of my mind and didn't mention it. He said "that truck ain't running hot". I told him the gauge had been pegged just down the road but it had cooled back down some. He sent our parts guy out to check it. Jimmy just laid his hand on the radiator cap and said it's alright.
    He never actually checked.
    I was pissed by that point because they didn't believe me. It fired right back up and I headed up the road grossing about 82,000 lbs.
    15 miles up the road when I slowed to go through a small town I noticed it was way down on power but danged if I was going to stop and call them. About another hour out she slowed to the point that I had to downshift several gears. I was down to about 30 mph in the middle of nowhere when I got to a country store. I pushed the clutch in and she locked up tight. I coasted in neutral to a stop and called the shop.
    They had to figure out how to disconnect a loaded aluminum dump trailer and hook it to another tractor and pull my rig back to the shop. When they finished doing a complete in frame rebuild on it they called me to come back to work but they never said a word to me about it. After that they listened to me.
    All I can figure out is that when I pulled the emergency stop it sucked the coolant out of it and blew it out the stacks because I never saw any signs of leaks or busted hoses, water under it or anything.
    They are damned tough and it hurt my feelings to watch you kill that one.
    But it did make a great video!

    This reminds me a bit of a project General Electric did back in the 1980s, where they converted one of their V12 FDL locomotive engines to run on finely pulverized coal slurry (think printer toner mixed with water). Their engineers were amazed at how high a percentage of water the fuel could contain and still autoignite.

Regarding efficiency, these engines were designed by Kettering and Winton in the 1920s, where the price of Diesel was not of paramount importance

      Also with the engine running away at high RPM it actually makes for even less chance of hydrolock, since you have more displacement per second to help distribute the water (8 cylinders x 71 c.i. x 4,000 rpm is a LOT of volume). If it were only turning at 1,000 or 1,500, the water to air ratio going into the cylinders would be much higher.

    I have an idea on how to get one to throw a rod:
    Set up a Detroit to run away like so. But bring in another truck/engine and disconnect the turbo from the intake. Connect the compressor outlet of the second engine to the intake / compressor or blower inlet of the runaway engine. This way when you rev up the second engine you should effectively be compounding boost into the runaway motor, which should hopefully match the added fuel and over power the engine enough to throw a leg out of bed.

  • @russellbergersen3296
    @russellbergersen3296 Год назад +6

    Most 4-71 Detroit engines had an automatic cut off butterfly in the intake before the blower. It would flip closed if the engine over reved or ran away. Had to find that one out the hard way when my old boss was complaining about his excavator having no power and wouldn't rev up. I spent about two minutes on it and discovered the cut off was tripped. He thought he blew the poor thing up. We both were glad it was that simple. Him for not having to pay for another engine, and me because I didn't have to replace it.

    We had a Silver Series 92 that ran away in Diesel Tech Class. We worked hard and had it at 515hp with massaged lowboy injectors on the engine dyno, and it stuck open, full open. A loose bolt. I never seen my Diesel Prof move so fast to cut fuel. It upset the 2nd floor classes so bad the female substitute professor pulled the fire lever and they all ran for the exits. The 3 story brick building was humming. Then the whole food chain showed up. Fire Dept, Medics, Police, The Dean and his talking heads, ect. This was 1988.

  • @ScottAles

    This happened to me with an Oshkosh 4x4 airport snowblower in 1988. The drive engine for the SnowGo blower was an 8V71 which ran away at a gas station in Davenport, Iowa. The cable for the emergency flap on the blower broke when I pulled it at the beginning of the runaway.
    I jumped up on the rear tire and manually flipped the trigger for the emergency flap after maybe 30 seconds of runaway.
    Restarted a few minutes later without incident and continued to use it that entire day. No problem. Only issue was the oil on the ground under each exhaust stack and the same on the underside of the gas station canopy. Two VERY large oil spots!
