Apex --think you made a little mistake there.

FF called Hartley the armchair expert, you misquoted-- Oh what the hell what do I care.

Did not understand it that way due to the plural. But if so, I beg your pardon Fred.

Apex you still don't get ti do you??? FF was referring to yourself as the "armchair expert'' now to the main topic.on a previous post you said that there is an extra camshaft ,plus pushrods ,plus followers plus valves ,now tell me where they are I must have missed them the last time i looked .a camshaft without lobes?? very interesting. what you are probably referring to (who knows) is the BALANCE SHAFT which gives the detroit its smooth running characteristics ...pushrods there are NO extra pushrods ,why have a pushrod on a camshaft wiithout lobes????there are 3 pushrods per cylinder on detroit 2 valve head ,there are 3 pushrods per cylinder on a detroit 4 valve head ,as all valves open simultaneosly there is a bridge to operate 2 valves at once ,as there are no inlet valves ,you could say that there are less pushrods on a DD 2 stroke than a 4 stroke with a 3 or 4 valve head .I should add that one of the pushrods operates the injector ,no injector pump on a DD 2 stroke ,less parts, have you ever looked inside ,say a 6 cylinder injector pump ,you will find quite a few parts in there old son
Look Apex you are way out of your depth here I could go on here forever down to the last bolt and nut on a DD 2 stroke but I have no intention of doing so,it is quite juvenile,I know you will want to have the last say so go to it .....cheers hartley

Well, the ability to read "old son" would help you understand some topic.
And where have you seen a statement like "camshaft without lobes" ? If you contradict to someone you should at least quote him correctly! Juvenile, yes!

And do´nt bother me with your agressive crap here. Just read the thread and contribute in a mature manner. Or better, leave it when your knowledge is´nt sufficient (as is obviously the case).

Ahh, and maybe David Pascoe can open your eyes a bit: http://www.yachtsurvey.com/comparing_diesel_types.htm

Would you be so nice to elaborate a bit here? You have them in your ER. Maybe the "juvenile" buys it from you.
thanks
