@Tim Lamein the 12 valve vr6 was actually designed to be a diesel motor but volkswagon changed it to a gas last second. And it had all forged internals from factory due to it being originally planned to be a diesel. If you’ve ever heard of people saying that the 12 valve can handle more boost when turbod compared to a 24 valve vr6 it’s because of the forged internals.
@Pat Larimer I'm no expert on diesels, but I read that 2 stroke produce more power per pound of engine than 4 stroke. The Detroits were pretty powerful engines in their day. Only recent developments with computer controlled injectors etc were able to eclipse the performance of old Detroit engines. That's what I read. Not sure how true.
@Pat Larimer My understanding is that they packed more HP per LB than 4 stroke diesels, but that the EPA regulations made further production impossible because these engines could not be built to meet EPA regulations. I've seen my fair share of 12V71s in busses throw a rod and I'm guessing the driver lugged the engine in too high a gear once too many times, but other than that, most folks consider them reliable and hard to kill.
@Pat Larimer What gives the impression of their robustness is a few videos featuring people deliberately blowing them up by disabling governors and running them wide open, possibly without crankcase oil. Interestingly, when I see trucks drag racing, they are most almost always running 2 stroke Detroits such as the 8V92.
@Pat Larimer diesels are more efficient than gasoline. The only reason you see less fuel efficiency in a vehicle the same size with a gas version vs a diesel version is the fact the engines are much bigger and it’s normally in a truck. Now you take the old diesel VW engines for regular and the gas ones and the diesel ones had much better gas mileage
@@terryoconnor5262 "Rolls-Royce Merlin" conveys a sense of elegance and luxury like its car division. "Detroit V12" does indeed sound industrial, tough, and destined for commercial use.
This series of Detroit engines came in several different configurations 3-71s , 4-71, 6-71s, 8V-71, 12V-71. The 92 series engines came out later on. the engine nomenclature is unique in its description of the engine. the number prefix says how many cylinders it has and the V suffix denotes it as a V engine such as a V8 or V12 or a V16. the last number is a cylinder displacement for one cylinder in cubic inches. These engines had to use a rootes type supercharger to actually ventilate the crankcase and are not considered as any sort of power adder any more so than a waterpump is on an engine. usually a pair of turbo chargers were used on each bank to supply additional boost into the supercharger. to increase power. These engines were designated with "T" after the displacement numbers, such as 12V92T, There were later versions with aftercoolers and these had an "A" designator to the engine number identify such as 12V92TA. the 12V92TAs were a real powerhouse, and were a very smooth running engine. They also did not smoke any more than any other diesel of that class in the four stroke motors. The 12V71T were great engines as well asvthe V8s. I never had the opportunity to drive of work on a 16V92TA, others in the diesel shop where I worked as a mechanic said their power levels were "unreal!" I believe it too. I liked the Detroit engines, like the in line SOHC 6 Series 60 engines. They were a much "happier" sounding engine than say the Cummins ISX diesels which were rough running pieces of shit to work on in my opinion.
I grew up working on these, they also made a 2-71 used on generators and 16V71. The problem is piston temp on a 2 cycle and rings. They burn clean with load, without that they would carbon up the exhaust port. 21-1 "N" compression ratio cylinder kits you could run a fresh rebuilt engine standing just on cylinder liners and it'd never move. Smooth running compared to 4C want to dance around on the floor. No we didn't have a dyno and before you set it in a boat you'd want to test run. rpm was instant. You don't get all the different stages of HP bc the piston crown can't take the temps. Maybe 20% power increase where the 4C you could get stage1, 2, 3, and 4. Much better cooling of the piston and rings allows this. A 2C motocross bike for example changes the piston rings after every event or every weekend. A testament to the 6-71; A company along the South Texas coast(Ingleside) was going to build some little Yard Mules for moving barges around. They bolted on a water pump to the back for loading and built a cinder block protective green house around it. They did their testing to determine HP, working rpm range(2100) and so forth. As a form of destructive testing and bc the fuel system was next to the intake silencer and had it develop a leak could run away. They removed the Buffer Screw and bypassed the rack Governor control. They found at 6700 rpm the flywheel disintegrated the Bell Housing. This tells us how fast the combustion process is in this engine and why they have the predominant Diesel knock. What RPM would it have hit if the Flywheel wasn't an issue is my question. Anyway, great engine, if we spec'd a 4 cycle in place of the 2 we'd have to double the C.I. and naturally the size was also about twice. A lot of boats along the coast ran 2C back in the day. This was in the 1970-1980's before the 92's really took off.
@David Laney I once worked on a drilling rig that had 6 6-110 's powering it, yes it had power . a rig I drilled on had 3 12-71's , I still like those old Detroits
There are still quite a few Detroit Diesels at work on the water. I grew up on a 36' fishing boat that had a 4-53. My own first boat had an old low block WWII surplus Gray Marine 6-71. I later had the good fortune to have a small tug with a 12-71. We towed a lot of logs with that boat. I worked on one tug that had two 16-71s driving a single shaft through a Falk reduction gear with Allison clutches. The serial number on the engine started with V32-71! It was a factory unit. The boat had 2-71 20 KW 120 D.C. generators. It was only 62' long and steel, it would make anyone a firm believer in hearing protection. G.M. made all kinds of dual and quad units like that to get more power out of the 71 series. There were a few boats around our neck of the woods over the years with quad 6-71 units. They required a lot of fiddling to keep everything synchronized. The military LCM 8 landing craft originally had twin dual 6-71 units. Later many of them were converted to 12-71, which worked better. The Jimmies are terrific engines, I will surely miss them if they are gone before I am. That's not very likely though since they made so many of them. I have a 6-71 in a 19' stern drive log bronc and a little tug with an 8-71 these days. There are a lot of fishing boats with the whole range of 71's from 3 to 16 cylinders working the West Coast and Alaska. Also an occasional 6-110, although those are pretty rare now. A friend of mine has a sweet 2-53 on a small double drum winch and I recently got to hear it run. The Holy Grail that I am keeping my eye out for is a 1-71. If I ever find one, I will put it in a shed outside my bedroom window and wire it up to start as an alarm clock.

There were 24v71s built for some yachts. 71series Detroit Diesels saved us over 30% of the fuel used in WW2 According to a military film. The 6-71 was the largest Detroit available at the time (the 6-110 came out in the 50's then the V series 71s) They were geared together in multiples of 2,4 and 8 for marine use. I believe I have enough experience owning an working on virtually all makes (yes I also like most all of the different makes) to know that except for some early 92 series they are the singular best Diesels period if you RTFM (read the furnished manual!) And have the proper application. Like one Cummins engineer said "I like Cummins, but I never saw an engine that could get you back home with more wrong with it than a 2 stroke Detroit!" I've been next to a running 8v149 TTA on straight pipes, WOW! I hate lazy Diesels, a properly set up Detroit ain't! Watch the vids with the running experimental all aluminum 12v53 that was made for throttle response in military hydroplanes! here on the river the EMD series are favorites for tugs because of serviceability, reliability and throttle response. I heard what sounded like 4 B-17s going over and it was a tug with 3 20v710 EMDs! Contrary to popular belief they actually make more torque at a lower rpm than anything else, they just don't sound like it, when an 852 ci 12v71 is hitting 12x per revolution and an 855 Cummins is hitting 3x ! They have the same 2100rpm redline but sound like a Cummins or other 4 stroke 6cyl at 8400! They were made in 53, 71, 92, 110, (6cyl only) and a non blown loop scavenged 4-50. You can lay them on their sides in a bus, turn the block around, put the blower and or exhaust on any side you want, reverse their rotation with no extra parts, the starter on left or right, have more accessory drives than a sane man needs, and rows of oil and water pressure ports and drain backs, the absolute best part is NO head gaskets! The major components are cross compatible across two series, 71, and lesser the 92s to 1936! At least enough to get you home! I get ticked off at seeing all the "runaway Detroit " videos when they were the only engines that all had a cab operated emergency intake air shutdown valve! Also, 2 or 4 screws remove the valve covers so you can put a pair of vice grips on the rack to manually control it! There's 8v92s (736ci) on fire pumps making 750hp. The service man said that he loved them because they will start when they shouldn't and spin up cold to max hp and rpm without blowing up. They were better than anything else and lasted up to 3x longer than other brands on emergency generators. Israeli military is repowering some tracked vehicles with NEW aluminum electronic 8v92s at 850hp. Lightweight has always made them favorable for amphibious use. Because there's always compression on every stroke they don't generally pull rod bolts in two and I know of some fairly stock engines turning 4500+rpm in pulling competition. You don't have to throw away blocks often because they offer oversized liners.
Paintball mag the only thing that’s going to be cancerous is the idiot sucking in all those diesel fumes for no reason. Love diesels and the smell doesn’t bother me but seriously there’s no reason to stand there, breathe that crap, and smell like shit. We don’t need people like you without basic common sense. She wasn’t even freaking out or anything in some douchey way, just pointing out that it’s pretty stupid to do.
fuel rack setting is rubbish and slow running adjustment is a nightmare n this engine !!! they normally start on half a turn of the flywheel ! at least when we used to do them ;)
The common 2 stroke engine used in weed eaters, outboards, snow mobiles, chainsaws etc., is only one of many types. Other 2 strokes can have regular oil in the crankcase (such as this V12), to get the air in and out of the cylinder, ports, poppet valves or even sleeve valves have been used, or various combinations thereof. This engine use intake ports thru the cylinder wall, and camshaft driven poppet valves for exhaust. This design will also work for gasoline engines as well as diesel, and requires some type of exhaust scavenger pump (supercharger or turbocharger) to force fresh air into the cylinders.
HaHaHa! lol :) Good comment! I am making some Deltic engine powered die cast vehicles, I bet you will get a kick out of them, since the Deltic is a big triangular shaped 18 cylinder diesel. Vid should be up in a week or two.
+ChargerMiles007 I thought you might like to know that the General Electric MS 5000 gas turbine generator sets used a Detroit V12-71 twin turbo engine as a STARTER MOTOR. The Detroit would fire up, idle for 10 seconds and go to full load. It turned a Twin Disc torque converter that connected to the accessory gear box and drove the turbine to 20% speed through a jaw clutch. This thing would idle for a few seconds, scream wide open for 5 minutes and then shut down as the gas turbine started accelerating from 20% speed to 5100 rpm or 100% speed. The Detroit was rated 600hp and the exhaust was straight up through the roof with no muffler. I worked on many GE gas turbine sets around the world.
+InflatableTRex Here's a drawing.... www.turbinecowboy.com/GTT/frame5 They didn't have digital cameras when I worked on them. My old Olympus OM-1 35mm camera was all I had. This link shows the Detroit diesel starting means, accessory gear and gas turbine. Missing is the reduction gear and the generator. Everything is housed in fireproof sound abated compartments so its hard to see the actual pieces. I can still hear that ragged exhaust note of the V12-71 screaming its guts out at full RPM and sounding like its ready to burst.
Thats a good cross section drawing of the set up, thanks for sending that! I got a photo of a V12-71 Detroit on a generator, quite the impressive engine :)
@@CB-el3sv Nonsense. 1. Once started, any healthy DDA engine having this design of fully flooded injections system, and with an accurately set rack, will idle immediately, hot or room temperature. He tried to let it idle, but it cut off its own fuel and died. So he then had to hold it open. ( Yamaha's are notorious for having their idles set too low, probably because they sound like Yamaha's, even when idling.) 2. I said nothing about smoke ... and anyway, burning a bit of oil (white smoke) has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with electronically controlled fuel injection systems.
@@sixmagpies idle speed on the governor probably isnt set right if the rack was set incorectly you end up with a lack of power. I rebuild these engines at work
My friends dad use to own his big rig cab over and I think it was a 2 stroke , because he would take us on some of his local runs and man that sob would haul azz and it screamed . So many gears :)))
I love the GM (Detroit engines) I had the 8V71 in a Denning coach some years ago here in Australia 🇦🇺 nothing like it hearing it on the Jake brake .....
These engines are the best for providing a lot of power at a constant engine speed. They put them in Tanks, big tractors, trucks and specialist heavy equipment
OtisENGINEuity Well because it's a diesel and the engined is govern not to exceed 2100 to 2600 RPM's, depending on the mode. So it sound's simular to a 4 stroke gas engine running at 5000 RPM'sl
The more cylinders that have to fit through the exhaust manifold, the mellower the sound of the engine. If you wanna get a real good idea of why they're called "Screamin' Jimmy's", set the governor of a 3-53 to 3300 rpm and nail the throttle wide open....and make sure it all happens in a metal shed. Wear hearing protection, lest your ears bleed. You've been warned.
@@DeanMk1 Certainly did, loosing your hearing is bad enough, having it replaced by a constant whistling ringing noise drives you nuts. Sitting next to your kids at a restaurant and not being able to hear what they are saying because the background noise is washing out the voices gets pretty depressing. All you diesel heads, loud music lovers, for you future families sake, protect your hearing, the damage is gradual and builds up over time. It's fun now, trust me it won't be in the future.
Love the guy getting blown by exhaust....just breathing it in and loving it I have 7.3 F350 it's noisy emits diesel fumes and often chicks say "I love that smell" that's when I know she's worth dating lol
You arent going to get cancer for standing in the exhaust line for 20 seconds if you dont get cancer for smoking 20 years. Apart from getting a blast of radiation nothing can guarantee cancers. Thats why they are called 'carsinogens' not "this gona give ya cancer baby" materials.
There is a big Detroit Diesel generator in the basement of the hospital where my mother used to work. 12V92T running around the clock producing nearly 1000 horsepower and driving a generator for the staff elevators.
@@Whateva67 Selective catalytic reduction with urea is a well proven technology. The biggest problem areas are in poor EGR design and the inclusion of the particulate trap which in reality does nothing for the supposed PM problem as all of that goes into the air with each regen, and when the thing gets plugged up it can cause serious engine damage. I'm all for engines with no aftertreatment and there are several designs out there which meet or exceed even the toughest standards without a particulate trap or catalyst but the current situation in Europe still mandates those to have a particulate trap.
I used to drive one of those it had two turbos and a scavenging blower. It was so powerful I never used all the gears on flat or near flat ground you could skip and usr every third gear loaded, ie. 1, 3, 6 going up hill only every other gear ie 1, 3, ,5,7 etc. never quiet we called them SCREAMING JIMMIES.
I had a Field Queen Forage Cutter with a V6 2 stroke Detroit Diesel (V6-71 I believe). Ran it thousands of hours. Probably why my ears constantly ring NOW!!! 👌🏻 Was a SCREAMING BEAST 👌🏻 🇺🇸 🤠
i am not an expert at all. but i don't believe premix is considered here for this reason: the air fuel mixture never passes through the base of the engine because it is a diesel engine, the ignition happens directly in the combustion chamber, the air comes in alone and the injector shoots the fuel at the desired moment during the compression cycle. Unlike conventional 2 stroke engines where the fuel and air mixture enters the engine through the same channel, which passes through the base of the engine, thus being why oil is needed in the fuel/air mixture, to lubricate the whole thing. in the case of this engine, the base of the engine is lubricated thanks to an oil pump just like a conventional 4 stroke engine.... I THINK. hope this helps you guide yourself towards the correct answer.
@@dexter131 12V71T was a model they built with twin turbos, but not sequential, just one turbo on each bank blowing into a common hat on the blower. The engine in the clip sounds very flat, the rack and governor tune is way off. When tuned properly these engines will take a full load in one hit with barely a speed change, just an almighty roar from the exhaust.
@@rayg9069 yes I know all about Detroit diesels, as well as modern diesels, as well as many other internal combustion engines and electric motors.. if you watch the video, clearly the turbos are missing from the exhaust manifold - which I assume is why many comments here talk about the motor sounding under tuned.
i get to tair a blower off a v8 in an old 70 pete tomorrow. was driving it and that shaft that runs the blower went out. reall fun. and no you dont need pre mix
Perfect, that's what im thinking, Take a 572 CID aluminum hemi motor, a 1:1 cam with both intake and exhausts valves open at the same time and a blower for scavenging. Now make a dry sump with a few Mikuni oil injection pumps into the intake and Amsoil Dominator 2 stroke oil as it lubes the bottom first and then burn off as you load it down. This would would really turn some heads as you now have an inverted loop scavenged 2 stroke Hemi.
Their bigger cousins in the EMD 567, 645, and 710 series are also awesome. My favorites are the 20-645E3 and the 20-710G3B-ES/G3C-ES. Massive V20 turbodiesel 2 strokes.

There were 24v71s built for some yachts. 71series Detroit Diesels saved us over 30% of the fuel used in WW2 According to a military film. The 6-71 was the largest Detroit available at the time (the 6-110 came out in the 50's then the V series 71s) They were geared together in multiples of 2,4 and 8 for marine use. I believe I have enough experience owning an working on virtually all makes (yes I also like most all of the different makes) to know that except for some early 92 series they are the singular best Diesels period if you RTFM (read the furnished manual!) And have the proper application. Like one Cummins engineer said "I like Cummins, but I never saw an engine that could get you back home with more wrong with it than a 2 stroke Detroit!" I've been next to a running 8v149 TTA on straight pipes, WOW! I hate lazy Diesels, a properly set up Detroit ain't! Watch the vids with the running experimental all aluminum 12v53 that was made for throttle response in military hydroplanes! here on the river the EMD series are favorites for tugs because of serviceability, reliability and throttle response. I heard what sounded like 4 B-17s going over and it was a tug with 3 20v710 EMDs! Contrary to popular belief they actually make more torque at a lower rpm than anything else, they just don't sound like it, when an 852 ci 12v71 is hitting 12x per revolution and an 855 Cummins is hitting 3x ! They have the same 2100rpm redline but sound like a Cummins or other 4 stroke 6cyl at 8400! They were made in 53, 71, 92, 110, (6cyl only) and a non blown loop scavenged 4-50. You can lay them on their sides in a bus, turn the block around, put the blower and or exhaust on any side you want, reverse their rotation with no extra parts, the starter on left or right, have more accessory drives than a sane man needs, and rows of oil and water pressure ports and drain backs, the absolute best part is NO head gaskets! The major components are cross compatible across two series, 71, and lesser the 92s to 1936! At least enough to get you home! I get ticked off at seeing all the "runaway Detroit " videos when they were the only engines that all had a cab operated emergency intake air shutdown valve! Also, 2 or 4 screws remove the valve covers so you can put a pair of vice grips on the rack to manually control it! There's 8v92s (736ci) on fire pumps making 750hp. The service man said that he loved them because they will start when they shouldn't and spin up cold to max hp and rpm without blowing up. They were better than anything else and lasted up to 3x longer than other brands on emergency generators. Israeli military is repowering some tracked vehicles with NEW aluminum electronic 8v92s at 850hp. Lightweight has always made them favorable for amphibious use. Because there's always compression on every stroke they don't generally pull rod bolts in two and I know of some fairly stock engines turning 4500+rpm in pulling competition. You don't have to throw away blocks often because they offer oversized liners.
I want one of these engines, just sitting on a test stand like this, that I can go out and fire up whenever I need something to cheer me up a bit.
Agree wit. You

No this is like the most american engines, never break.

Nice. To me the gold standard for 2 stroke diesel sounds were the EMD locomotive diesels. But this is a close second.
Motor diesel 2 tempos é muito superior.
Diesel porn ! For people with Diesel engines fetish . I love it .
that is diesel engine sound!
It is a diesel
That diesel sounds more like a rally car engine

Loud as phuck!
who still looks this in 2021 and thinks I NEED THIS IN MY CARRR!!
fuel rack setting is rubbish and slow running adjustment is a nightmare n this engine !!! they normally start on half a turn of the flywheel ! at least when we used to do them ;)
Buffer screw on the governor housing will generally stop the hunting.
but won't fix the starting !
yes 12v71Ts tune up took a bit of time
Most of the bus engines run without a buffer screw. They sit there and hunt till you bump on fast idle
The common 2 stroke engine used in weed eaters, outboards, snow mobiles, chainsaws etc., is only one of many types.
Other 2 strokes can have regular oil in the crankcase (such as this V12), to get the air in and out of the cylinder, ports, poppet valves or even sleeve valves have been used, or various combinations thereof. This engine use intake ports thru the cylinder wall, and camshaft driven poppet valves for exhaust. This design will also work for gasoline engines as well as diesel, and requires some type of exhaust scavenger pump (supercharger or turbocharger) to force fresh air into the cylinders.
ChargerMiles007 ``supercharger or turbocharger`` yes it need it and one more thing need after that is priest for owner !
HaHaHa! lol :) Good comment!
I am making some Deltic engine powered die cast vehicles, I bet you will get a kick out of them, since the Deltic is a big triangular shaped 18 cylinder diesel. Vid should be up in a week or two.

I thought you might like to know that the General Electric MS 5000 gas turbine generator sets used a Detroit V12-71 twin turbo engine as a STARTER MOTOR. The Detroit would fire up, idle for 10 seconds and go to full load. It turned a Twin Disc torque converter that connected to the accessory gear box and drove the turbine to 20% speed through a jaw clutch. This thing would idle for a few seconds, scream wide open for 5 minutes and then shut down as the gas turbine started accelerating from 20% speed to 5100 rpm or 100% speed. The Detroit was rated 600hp and the exhaust was straight up through the roof with no muffler. I worked on many GE gas turbine sets around the world.
+InflatableTRex
Here's a drawing.... www.turbinecowboy.com/GTT/frame5
They didn't have digital cameras when I worked on them. My old Olympus OM-1 35mm camera was all I had. This link shows the Detroit diesel starting means, accessory gear and gas turbine. Missing is the reduction gear and the generator. Everything is housed in fireproof sound abated compartments so its hard to see the actual pieces. I can still hear that ragged exhaust note of the V12-71 screaming its guts out at full RPM and sounding like its ready to burst.
Thats a good cross section drawing of the set up, thanks for sending that! I got a photo of a V12-71 Detroit on a generator, quite the impressive engine :)
As soon as it revved the first pass, instantly the word "TANK" popped in my head.
Speaking of V12 diesel engines and 'Tank,' you may find this of interest: ruclips.net/video/mBiSTD9EFuQ/видео.html :)

Rack hasn't been set properly, and the supposedly fully flooded fuel system is full of air.
Correct on the rack, but even a smidgen of air in the fuel system and she would never start.
@@CB-el3sv Nonsense.
1. Once started, any healthy DDA engine having this design of fully flooded injections system, and with an accurately set rack, will idle immediately, hot or room temperature. He tried to let it idle, but it cut off its own fuel and died. So he then had to hold it open. ( Yamaha's are notorious for having their idles set too low, probably because they sound like Yamaha's, even when idling.)
2. I said nothing about smoke ... and anyway, burning a bit of oil (white smoke) has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with electronically controlled fuel injection systems.
@@sixmagpies idle speed on the governor probably isnt set right if the rack was set incorectly you end up with a lack of power. I rebuild these engines at work
@@eroc1970 Correct .. I should have said rack or idle.
90% of diesel mechanics don't need to touch a Detroit Diesel.
Very few can set (tune) everything correctly.
This sound never gets old!
That engine needs a 5 foot straight pipe on both ex.manifolds for correct sound.
Expansion chamber!
and a jake brake

That engine would rip the ass out of the earth if it had the traction in a vehicle.
Let's drop that unit in a Ford ranger..lol😉
These engines are the best for providing a lot of power at a constant engine speed. They put them in Tanks, big tractors, trucks and specialist heavy equipment
nothing else sounds like that, retired cg mech, love the old detroits.
Guy: You smell that? Diesel I love the smell of diesel in the morning.💨😌
amazing, you'd never guess they were 2 strokes by the sound
OtisENGINEuity Well because it's a diesel and the engined is govern not to exceed 2100 to 2600 RPM's, depending on the mode. So it sound's simular to a 4 stroke gas engine running at 5000 RPM'sl
Wuoww!! That's music to my ears...
I love this sound!!
The more cylinders that have to fit through the exhaust manifold, the mellower the sound of the engine. If you wanna get a real good idea of why they're called "Screamin' Jimmy's", set the governor of a 3-53 to 3300 rpm and nail the throttle wide open....and make sure it all happens in a metal shed. Wear hearing protection, lest your ears bleed. You've been warned.
Done that, got the tinnitus to prove it.

@@DeanMk1 Certainly did, loosing your hearing is bad enough, having it replaced by a constant whistling ringing noise drives you nuts. Sitting next to your kids at a restaurant and not being able to hear what they are saying because the background noise is washing out the voices gets pretty depressing.

@@rayg9069 well said, Ray
you are wright
are they pumping out unfiltered two-stroke exhaust INSIDE of a building? yikes
Yes but if I were there, I'd be fresh out of fucks to give about air quality.
yes good
If diesels are direct injection, why don't more things use 2 stroke diesels?
Sounds nice!
Got a bit of an exhaust leak in the right bank towards the front of the manifold
Love the guy getting blown by exhaust....just breathing it in and loving it
I have 7.3 F350 it's noisy emits diesel fumes and often chicks say
"I love that smell" that's when I know she's worth dating lol
And that lady's and gents is how you get cancer!! Beautiful engine ashame about the Muppet standing in the fumes
You arent going to get cancer for standing in the exhaust line for 20 seconds if you dont get cancer for smoking 20 years. Apart from getting a blast of radiation nothing can guarantee cancers. Thats why they are called 'carsinogens' not "this gona give ya cancer baby" materials.

There is a big Detroit Diesel generator in the basement of the hospital where my mother used to work. 12V92T running around the clock producing nearly 1000 horsepower and driving a generator for the staff elevators.
douro20 that’s cool 😎. Back when diesels were simple and not burdened with all the emissions crap like today’s DEF drinking garbage
@@Whateva67 Selective catalytic reduction with urea is a well proven technology. The biggest problem areas are in poor EGR design and the inclusion of the particulate trap which in reality does nothing for the supposed PM problem as all of that goes into the air with each regen, and when the thing gets plugged up it can cause serious engine damage. I'm all for engines with no aftertreatment and there are several designs out there which meet or exceed even the toughest standards without a particulate trap or catalyst but the current situation in Europe still mandates those to have a particulate trap.
Do an V10 Engine made by Detroit Diesel Engine i use a Detroit Diesel 8V71. it's put video a Detroit Diesel 10V71 engine.
Yes, revving a diesel after a cold start is the key to longevity.
I absolutely love the sound. But i think Rolls Royce Griffon SuperCharged V12 sounds better
I used to rebuild Detroits when I was younger , it always was great feeling to bring them up to no load
There's a better sound than that. And it's an old, nice and loose Gardner just idling. Music.
I used to drive one of those it had two turbos and a scavenging blower. It was so powerful I never used all the gears on flat or near flat ground you could skip and usr every third gear loaded, ie. 1, 3, 6 going up hill only every other gear ie 1, 3, ,5,7 etc. never quiet we called them SCREAMING JIMMIES.
+seth mullins. your dad probally drove the 6 cylinder jimmy completely diffrent animal. But they both made way to much noise, it was deafening.
The 53 series Detroit's made a lot noise but didn't get there very fast. Nice to listen to though as long I'm not driving it.
@@250kent And would piss oil out of the blow by while idling
ahh yes, the motor that sounded like you were doing about 110 comin round the corner, and when you finally came round actually doing about 35 lol
I had a Field Queen Forage Cutter with a V6 2 stroke Detroit Diesel (V6-71 I believe).
Ran it thousands of hours. Probably why my ears constantly ring NOW!!! 👌🏻 Was a SCREAMING BEAST 👌🏻 🇺🇸 🤠
Car dealer: how much horsepower you want on your ride?
Guy who gonna buy the car: yes
i am not an expert at all. but i don't believe premix is considered here for this reason: the air fuel mixture never passes through the base of the engine because it is a diesel engine, the ignition happens directly in the combustion chamber, the air comes in alone and the injector shoots the fuel at the desired moment during the compression cycle. Unlike conventional 2 stroke engines where the fuel and air mixture enters the engine through the same channel, which passes through the base of the engine, thus being why oil is needed in the fuel/air mixture, to lubricate the whole thing. in the case of this engine, the base of the engine is lubricated thanks to an oil pump just like a conventional 4 stroke engine.... I THINK. hope this helps you guide yourself towards the correct answer.
2 Stroke Diesels Do Not have Oil in Fuel Pre-Mix. Lubrication is the Similar to a 4 Stroke Engine.
You know it runs good when the only way to keep it from stalling is to floor it.
Not best sound at all, diesels sound the best with large screaming turbos.
Did you miss the fact that this is a diesel. A twin turbo (sequential) diesel at that?
@@matthewoconnor5690 did you watch this video? There are no turbos on this engine.
@@dexter131 12V71T was a model they built with twin turbos, but not sequential, just one turbo on each bank blowing into a common hat on the blower. The engine in the clip sounds very flat, the rack and governor tune is way off. When tuned properly these engines will take a full load in one hit with barely a speed change, just an almighty roar from the exhaust.
@@rayg9069 yes I know all about Detroit diesels, as well as modern diesels, as well as many other internal combustion engines and electric motors.. if you watch the video, clearly the turbos are missing from the exhaust manifold - which I assume is why many comments here talk about the motor sounding under tuned.
Dexter Schray Maybe this particular model was built without them
Needs tuned up usually they start so quick you never even hear the starter
i get to tair a blower off a v8 in an old 70 pete tomorrow. was driving it and that shaft that runs the blower went out. reall fun. and no you dont need pre mix
@:33 when you're young and dumb with too much pride to move..
that mid throttle roar is sexy as hell, wish i legit had an old dodge charger with one of these in it
man,i swear watching the video i had the exact same thought and scrolled down to see if im the only one haha
Perfect, that's what im thinking, Take a 572 CID aluminum hemi motor, a 1:1 cam with both intake and exhausts valves open at the same time and a blower for scavenging. Now make a dry sump with a few Mikuni oil injection pumps into the intake and Amsoil Dominator 2 stroke oil as it lubes the bottom first and then burn off as you load it down. This would would really turn some heads as you now have an inverted loop scavenged 2 stroke Hemi.
