Yeah, sorry. For some reason I wasn't even thinking about selective cylinder control. That is something we've talked about. I'm not sure how...
No. The long parts do not interchange. (carrier, crank, cam, etc.) Unless you mean buying a 6 and only having 3 active cylinders. I'm not sure...
Have you seen the stuff that Capt. Phil has gone through on Deadliest Catch? Scoring a cylinder, having to limp back to port and spend $65,000...
gonzo, how do you figure it is BS? Haven't you watched the video I posted? If we can change one cylinder in 8 minutes, why couldn't we do 6 in 2...
I'm not sure about dropping it all the way to a single. That is a lot of weight for one cylinder to be pushing around. We have been discussing...
It would be possible but NOT recommended. The biggest issue is one of balance. When you remove a cylinder, you lose all the reciprocating mass...
Ok, but compare it to another 3-cylinder marine engine block. I won't lie and say it can make the power forever without breaking down. We...
Fred, I don't recall saying this engine would be pricey OR intended for the "big boys." If I have said anything about price it would have been...
With our design, we are about 10" narrower and 10" shorter in height than other diesels of this power range. We have tried to design every piece...
The filter will be mounted on the right side of the engine, just above the fuel pump. As for oil draining, the strainer is located in the front...
Hey all, sorry it has been a little while since I've posted. I've got a new clip of our engine. Check it out: Cylinder Tear Down and Rebuild...
As I said, we still have a lot of tuning to do. These are just some "hey look, we're actually getting SOMETHING" numbers.
We have some preliminary power numbers. So far, we have only gotten about 160 Hp at 9 gal/hr fuel burn. My boss's boat has 2 Cat diesels, when...
Just letting everyone know, we have the engine up and running again. Power numbers will be coming soon... having a few issues with dyno...
The engines won't be in full production for another year and a half or so. The 3-cylinder will be priced around $25,000.
umm... easy there chief... We live in America. That's what we use.
Imperial
The engine carrier is gray cast iron. The heads and cylinder jugs are aluminum and there is a ductile iron sleeve pressed into the jugs for the...
We are still working on the complete fuel map. Once the engine is mapped, I will be able to tell you more about the injection timings of each...
The exhaust gas temperatures are not that high. Yanmar's standard for their engines are around 1350 deg F. When we had a problem, we have had...
