@@matthewkuhl79 can’t agree, 9250 oil, we tested that oil daily, to ensure it wasn’t full of fuel from the rails (which happened a lot) crankcase pressure pushes that oil out…I’ve seen and heard every trick in the book to try to stop it….
@@johncox4301 during my time I saw all 4 SSDGs overhauled a few times, quite a few times, heck even replaced them completely…block and all changed. They were so horrible the Navy finally gave up and started experimenting with just switching the ships to a Cat, and just get rid of the Detroits, then the Navy decided to abandon the FFG7 class all together….oh broken rings, all the time…bottom line there weren’t reliable.
Oh man this video gives me bad ideas... I'm putting a 6v53 in a chev 1 ton right now. It's going under the hood, but could you imagine this beast on a flatbed driving to a drop box under the hood and back to the rear end!!!
I remember back in my GSE days, we had plenty of 6V71’s on our Bosserman fuel trucks and on 100 ton portable aircraft air conditioning units. On the a/c units I would throttle it up to 1700 rpm’s and then manually engage the clutch to the 16 cylinder Trane compressor; that would bog it down to 550 rpm’s before climbing back to 1700 in a few seconds. The sound could wake up the dead.
Hej Anders! Jeg skulle vise min knægt en video af en lidt større motor, som starter med et brøl. Den eneste jeg lige kunne komme i tanke om, var en 16V149. Jeg husker tydeligt det job med udskiftning af en toppakning på sådan en maskine på Rømø i 2015. Håber alt er vel, Vh Jesper.
Not to mention shutting it down right after spooling the turbo's up... and so, no oil flow to them while still spooling down. As far as not "heating it up".... Detroit powered emergency Gen-sets go from start to full throttle nearly instantaneously all the time... mind you, "some" of them have pre-heated circulating coolant to keep them warm, but certainly not always the case.... and they "live" for decades.
@@Romans--bo7br you are correct that generator sets go right to rated rpm and load, but in terms of time between overhauls they run much shorter hours that way. Standby generator service has an extremely short start to run hours ratio, typically averaging 2 hours per start or less. Many generator engines are replaced or rebuilt after as little as 5,000 hours. Those frequent and extreme starting conditions do take their toll.
@@billmoran3812... Hello, Bill... thanks for your reply... yes, very true. I guess my brain (or whats left of it lol) was thinking out all the details... that's what I get for still being up at 3 in the morning.... thanks for filling in the gaps.
Spent more than 65 years around Detroits never had a reason to crack throttle except it just so much fun 😅
Jesus Christ those turbos sound amazing
Those turbos!

If it pukes oil it is do to broken piston Rings.

I had the same engine on a Stewart & Stevenson back up genset at our power plant.
Sou fã dos motores Detroit 2 tempos.
Um dos melhores motores diesel desde que Rudolph Diesel patenteou esse tipo de motor.
A diesel fueled eargasm.
looks like Gary Busey playing with his engine
LMFAOO beat me to it!!! Hey, the engine is the same, coked-up equivalent in mechanical form.
This thing sounds scary I love it

I've thought about an 8v149 in a Mack CH
I put it in my boat man.

@@pootispiker2866 nothing fiberglass work can't handle. Could always put it behind the cab
DETROIT DIESEL É SHOW! 😉👏👏👏
Hoss: “How many horses does she got Joe?”
Joe “yes”
(Idk if that’s actually the guys name lol just making stuff up)
Oh baby ! You're talkin my language !
is that the sound of muscle I hear
all 2384 cubic inches of it
Sounds amazing
Turbo screaming like a Tupolev engine
Bestial diésel
Will this fit in my jeep ?
Great engine! Shits all over the 4 strokes

Love to hear those blowers spin!!
Turbos
Short run, didnt heat up, raced the engine. How worse could you treat it?
I don't see any provision for water. Not smart.

There's no load here. People start their cars and drive off immediately all day long...
