My Grandpa was a Diesel mechanic since 1947 He had a saying Detroits go in a boat Cats have a blade, International goes in a tractor and Cummins is a truck motor bar none.

[@brianburns7211]

How about the Detroit 6-71? It basically won the war for us, as did the other two stroke diesels from GM, such as the Electro-Motive Division 567, 645, and 710.

the 645 and 710 are just the modern versions of the 567. the 6-71 and every detroit 2-stroke (53, 71, 92, 110, 149) were just derivative works of the big 567 for different applications & markets.

Problem is with this video is you've left the Volvo series engines out. Probably one of the very best, most fuel efficient engines out there. The 12 liter is virtually bullet proof and I've seen many that have done 1.5million miles before rebuild and that's not because they needed it.

Can't believe you put a C-12 in here, the 3406E and C-15 6NZ were leaps and bounds better than any C-12. 30 years as a truck driver has shown me that.

[@Tchristman100]

C12 is NOT one of the best Caterpillar engines. But the 3406B mechanical is just about the most reliable engine ever made. So much so Caterpillar still makes the 3406C mechanical for third world countries that do not want electronics.

[@michaelcolgrave4184]

For marine engines up to 250 HP nothing could hold a candle to the Gardner, for reliability and economy

[@johnbenning1317]

Definitely represents ones opinion. I would replace some of the engines chosen with CAT's 3406B, 3406E & C-15 (not the C15 primarily because of emissions), Cummins 855 & N14 & Mack's ETAZ 673 with the Robert Bosch injection system & the E-6 2V & 4V. Some of the Deutz air cooled engines are pretty good. No mention of Deere's engines here either. Theres a lot of others to pick from as well. So the title Mayne should have had IMYO added to it. Nice video though, Thanks to the poster!!!

[@jasonottman118]

I would include Perkins diesels also, absolutely bullet proof, 510 Perkins were tough.

[@curbstomp3126]

I have to agree the old E6 Mack's where bomb proof.

[@guyincognito1431]

I agree with everything you are adding to the discussion but have a question. As an engine builder I always scratch my head as to why someone would list a B 3406 but not a C. The only ever so slightly better part of a b that was that the B was ease of fuel pump setting. All Mains- journals gears are much better on a C. So I guess the question remains as to what the perceived betterment is on the Bs? And to add one more to your list of great engines I've worked on K19 Cummins with 30,000hours.

[@natemitchell7796]

i think the most significant diesel engine ever created was the emd 567. that engine changed the place of diesels in the world.

[@rad3766]

10 of the greatest, eh? Thats a subjective term...... Not a peep about EMD's or what I would consider the greatest diesel of them all, the Series 71 Detroit Diesel; It made its first appearance in 1937 and was produced through the 90's and theres still a lot out here. They were available as inlines 1, 2, 3, 4, & 6 and as V blocks: V6, V8, V12, V16 ,and V24 and a lot of parts were common to all models (3 cylinder and up). There were countless applications for these engines, the only things I think that never had a Detroit powering it were airplanes, but I may be wrong on that, lol.

[@holmes1956O]
