Just for the fun of it check out this video. Mike Harrah and His Detroit V24 - 71 Diesel Engine 3424 Horse Power - YouTube
No, 4 cams, 2 complete gear trans. Right and left hand rotation. The 92 series is a wet liner engine unlike the 71's. The OP mentioned large...
Whats wrong the V-12's. You might better off to rebuild them for around 100,000.00. At 100.00 p/hp your going to in at least 300k. And probably more.
I would be curious about the cost in Florida. Out here on the west coast I've heard some 70k, but that included a pump recon and injectors from a...
Ron actually I've done it 3 times. Kent Moore made a tool that was for this very purpose. But it only makes sense if getting the transmission out...
The rear of the engine does not need to come off. You can pull the cam through the front. I think it's faster depending on application and access...
Capt J is somewhat on the right path, but to do a compression test as per the service manual all the injectors must be installed except for the...
I would, this might give you a place to start instead of throwing money at a problem that may not be there. Did the mechanic try running the...

The mechanical V-8 starts on 4 cylinders. Two on each side. If not mistaken upon start up cylinders 1, 4, 6 & 7. After warm up and increased load...
Hi All: I'm currently rebuilding 2 12V-92's in a 58 Viking. The owner bought the boat with 1 (sorta running) engine. After taking a bath from...
Well after getting SR2 apart, found engine with 2 dropped valves and all cylinders full of sea water, but no bent rods. Very puzzling!! Ariel:...
I have 2 identical 1998 Sea Ray four eighty's I'm working on. Both have 6V-92ta's, Each boat has 1 locked up engine. It has been determined that...
I never said "Holding the stop button down to build up pressure sounds flaky also." It basically makes it easier on the batteries, and they do in...
Another reason some people hold the stop in to start these and other DDA's is due to low compression. By holding the stop, the engine will spin...
Both are good engines. The largest factor in buying a boat with either of these engines is finding a qualified mechanic to work on them. Not a...
Try a wooden boat. No slapping sound like there is in cheap fiberglass boats.
I personally would recommend the S-60. Less cost of ownership. Easier to work on.
#10 hose would be more than adequate for the suction and #6 or #8 for the return. Jim
You also mentioned that anti-freeze came out the exhaust when 1st started. Not a good thing. If properly winterized they would have drained the...
