We had to machine the cam follower cylinder which is inside the cylinder head with out taking the head off the engine W.W.Williams (parts suppliers for the 6-110) is completely out of stock of cylinder head gaskets and they told me not to take the engine apart if I did not have to ... parts are getting very rare especially gaskets .... When the cam follower spring broke it took out the spring clip and all the flying bits scored the cylinder and destroyed the spring clip ridge ... We machined a new ridge without letting metal particles into the engine .... unfortunately I have limited pictures of this operation but the ones I do have I'll put together a small video showing how we did this
Historymaker2001 W.W.Williams gasket supplier wants to make a run of 5000 head gaskets ... but Williams wants only 500 ... so apparently there at loggerheads ..... its a real pain ... for everyone who has 6-110’s
Landaux the exhaust runs up through mufflers that are in the middle of the car ... if you are walking through the car the passenger compartment looks like it’s split at the centre of the car with a partitioned section within these runs the exhaust mufflers, engine coolant pipes, cooling fan electrical wires, and a few other auxiliary items
Fantastic! I understand & appreciate that there is much more to do, do you have any indication of when it'll be up and running as a fully functioning unit? Whats the plan, use on the main railroads or on a preserved railroad? Thanks
There is about a year to a year and a half of hard work to do on the car. Some mechanical work to test and still inspect ... examples are Heating and A/C and truck bolster spring replacement. Plus the interior needs to be restored. The water leak which was fixed over a year ago has taken its toll on the washroom walls, floor and ceiling which has to be put back together. along with some car floor work and carpet replacement. Also some windows need replacing there is moisture between the pains of glass. Then the entire car needs a heavy steam clean. ..... So yes there is a lot of work that still needs to be done. As to where it will go after it leaves the TMC?..... Rapido Trains will be announcing that when the time comes.
With the engine idling the oil weeps around the rockers and drips back down into the sump .... You can't really see it but when I revved the engine manually I got sprayed with oil on my arm from the rockers ....
enr3870 yes the Cummins units were Ingersoll Rand Air starters .... The RDC's had a procedure to run the compressor off the battery's to get the required min 60psi to run the starter to fire up one engine. The Detroits has only electric starters in Via service I'm not sure on other railways but it seems Detroits had electric starters and Cummins had air .... I believe the Rolls Royce powered RDC's were electric starters as well.
Thanks for your reply, I am seeking a manual for a Budd Car engine 6-110 series, can you please point me in the right direction please... Or maybe you would have a PDF copy that you could send ....? Cheers and Happy New Year...
There are two 6-110 engine types a two valve or a four valve ... Four valve have a roots blower and the two valve have a centrifuge blower ... Which manual are you looking for ?
@@tieplatecaf from the print out I have: GM 110 (2) 6 CYL (two stroke) I have been told there the original engines, from the Budd manual they have 2 275 hp, 2 cycle , GM 6-110 diesel engines... hope that helps
Take it down the tracks!
We have two of these parked here in Emmett, Idaho but they were re-motored many years ago…

What engine parts required machining? I'm guessing 6-110 parts are hard to come by.
Where does the exhaust travel from the bottom up through the top? poles in the middle of the car or through the wall or what?

I'm surprised at the apparent lack of oil around the rockers, I thought there would be a lot more visible oil there.

I always thought these were fart starts(air). Maybe I’m thinking of the Cummins powered units.

Looks like a submarine engine
