SCREAMING JIMMY! 16cyl 2 Stroke Detroit Diesel 16v71 Wide Open

[@DEBOSSGARAGE]

For the squeamish: 25:14 Couple things - 1. This engine was destined for the shredder after rotting in the metal recycler yard for several months for sale. 2. We didn’t buy it, it’s getting recycled even if we didn’t touch it. 3. It’s in the yard for a reason, needed $20k in parts alone for a rebuild and we did tear the engine down to see what’s inside anyway: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKO3XnWXm7Zgm8k 4. Parts -are- *were* for sale, -see what's still listed here:- we sold everything worth saving from this timeless engine. 5. We still have 4 more Detroit engines in amazing condition, sitting here waiting (STILL after a year later!) for anyone who says they would have bought it.

[@chriskringle5309]

ive seen them run wide open for 14 to 15 hours with a generator attached , to power hospitals during power outages an never miss a beat.. but with out any cooling they will run for about 30 to 40 min an heat seize .. an that usually cooks the rod bearings ..they will start after cooling down.. but its very dangerous as the parts will fly out of them and you may get hurt ..

I went to UTI to learn to be a mechanic in '99 and one of the diesel shops had one run away when I was there... It was SCARY!!!

[@davelowets]

Had a straight 6 Detroit runaway in high-school shop classes in the late 80s. It was bolted on the run stand, along with the typical 4 cylinder, V-6, and V-8 gasoline engines of the era, for us to work on and get running. The big ole Detroit hadn't run for years at that point because none of us students knew about, or cared about working on it. So, my buddies and I took it upon ourselves to get it fired up. Our shop tea her said, "Have at 'er, no one has gotten that thing started in the last 20 years..." At 16 years old, we didn't know a whole lot about the big Detroit's, other than that they were a diesel 2-stroke, and had exhaust valves. We filled the tank with diesel, primed up the fuel system, dumped some gasoline down the exhaust pipe, slipped the exhaust hose over the pipe, and let 'er rip...... 😳 Knowing better now, the rack must have been stuck, and the fricker TOOK OFF SCREAMING! Scared the SHIT out of us kids, blew the exhaust hose up off the pipe, left a HUGE black stain on the ceiling, and caught the attention of every student and teacher in that wing of the school as it revved to the moon.(Or sounded like it) Those bastards are LOUD when they're running away inside of a shop classroom!! Our teacher finally caught his witts, and snubbed 'er out by blocking the turbo. The hallways in that wing were filled with people wonderimg what in the hell that sound was.. 😆 My buddies and I were shop class legends for a few months after that episode. I'm guessing that black stain is STILL on the ceiling 30+ years later. I gained ALOT of respect for the big diesels after that, and never fired an old one up again without fully checking the governor and rack first.

A farm I used to work for has one of these engines to run their emergency generator. When they fired it up it was glorious.

[@TheEquineFencer]

The fuel system was limiting the RPM, get one running and feed oil straight into the air intake, it will really turn some RPM then. I had the pleasure of tearing down a M-11 Cummins that had a turbo failure. The story I got, the turbo went out, driver "nursed" it back to the shop. The shop replaced the turbo, backed it outside to "blow the oil out the exhaust." The charge air cooler was full of oil, the engine took off! The mechanic tried switching the engine off and removing the fuel filter to no avail. Then they just sat back as it started dropping valves from the overspeed until it was running on one cylinder that finally dropped two valves. So add an unlimited supply of oil to the intake and see what it does.

[@SUPRAMIKE18]

My uncle told me a story once about an old heating oil tanker, the company was running the heating oil as the fuel in the truck aswell, stuff was more potent than regular diesel apparently, anyways the truck had worn out piston rings and an oil leak in the turbo, so the fuel oil started leaking down into the crank case and sucked up into the turbo and leaking right into the intake, engine ran away and apperently rolled the tachometer over 3 times before it grenaded (my uncle estimated it did atleast 8,000rpm) not sure the exact engine model but it was a 1990s Paccar

[@fellowship_of_the_goat]

With these, when the governor's removed it runs at full tilt, would be doing the same rpm regardless. I had my diesel car run away on me once and near shit my pants.

[@TheEquineFencer]

@@fellowship_of_the_goat the injectors limited the fuel at high rpm, feed it more fuel through the intake and it will really run away. On a Detroit, if they get to high of rpm and you pull the emergency shut down, it'll suck the seals out of the blower and feed oil into the intake side, seen it happen, it's like it catches another gear. It'll pull air through then same seals.

[@fellowship_of_the_goat]

@@TheEquineFencer Nah, they don't, look how at full tilt it's still blowing black smoke. KT3406E on youtube has a video about the same thing on a 6/71. Especially n/a, the actual engine is the limit, not the injectors, once the governor is disabled like this guy did

[@TheEquineFencer]

@@fellowship_of_the_goat I've seen that video also, same thing. The injectors, even with the rack locked will limit fuel flow, there by limiting the engine from revving higher. If you add more fuel, such as motor oil through the intake, the RPM will go much higher and start floating the valves.

and oil. no doubt the crank case was full of a water/oil slurry at best. only a handful of engines would run near that long under the same conditions, a ford straight 6 being one. during the cash for clunkers rebate they used a cement of some sort in the crankcase to seize the engines and when most would lock up within a minute or two they had trouble getting the ford straight 6's to lock up at all. I had a buddy that worked at a yard where they did this and he said they had to leave them with a cinder block on the gas pedal.

These old Detroits are insanely tough, as you’ve shown. EMD locomotives use a similar engine, originally made by GM as well, and they will literally run circles around General Electric’s 7FDL. I’ve never been inside the 16V-71, but if it’s architecture is similar to a 567, 645, or 710, each rod shares a common crank journal, with one being the master (fork) rod and the other being the blade rod. They fit together to form a basket which holds the rod bearing halves. This is likely why both sides of the crankcase were ventilated when either a piston seized and let go of its rod, or the rod bearing seized. When you pull it down, the engine design is pretty cool. Being 2 stroke engines, there is no vacuum within the cylinder to breathe- the engine will not run on atmospheric air pressure alone. The blowers are used to pressurize the air boxes, and when the piston drops to BDC, air is allowed to flow through the inlet ports. The piston begins the exhaust / compression stroke, and the ports are sealed. A set of rings on the bottom of the piston skirt seal against the lower liner, preventing combustion air from entering the crankcase.

The application these were used in are as varied as there are number of pages in the manual. Early 70's in the arctic I worked on seismic crews in the Mackenzie delta and points north. Nearly all of the tracked vehicles we used had a Detroit in them. One real big issue they had in the cold, was weeping of the front main seal. Due to the cold every diesel unit we had ran 24/7, they're hard to get running at -40C if shut down when not working. We had to cover the front of the machine up and idle them up to 1100-1200, just to keep them warm enough so they wouldn't start blubbering oil out onto the ground or fill up the skid pan with that black gunk. They truly could run forever as long as they had appropriate fluids and kept near optimum temp. Later on when I worked the drilling rigs I saw quite a lot of them in other applications For example, one drill rig I was on used a similar 16v for draw works power, the same rig also had an 8v71 spinning an old duplex mud pump. Cement units for cementing wells also used them as power units for pumpers. The sound of a jimmy spooling up to operating rpm is one I will not soon forget, as it has left an indelible mark in my life, as well my ears. I'm about half deaf from the experience I've gained from all the jimmies I've had the pleasure and regret of knowing in my life. Seeing this icon traveling to the great beyond and further didn't bother myself in the least. In fact I rather enjoyed seeing her go in such grand fashion.

@@antizakkonic7789 Besides a bit of over spray on a few areas on newer ones I had seen back in the day, they didn't seem overly painted up from my recollection. Too much paint on a seal especially enamel, could make it fail early, as it will harden the seal surfaces making them stiff and inflexible. Seals need to be a bit flexible to do their job in keeping dirt out and oil in. Could the ones you saw perhaps be just rebuilds? Those engines are better known in the industry as a ten gallon overhauls. Slap some new seals in her and paint her up and sell it to the nearest sucker looking for a deal on a rebuilt Jimmy.

The boss followed to make sure I got there safe. I was throwing flames 5 feet from the stacks all the way. I dumped the beans headed back to the yard. Engine was running a little rougher than normal. We pulled it apart it was overdue for an overhaul already. 3 pistons had holes melted in them and 2 more were cracked. The oldest girl in the fleet was like never again but I did it boy's.

This made me tear up. She made sure you got your job done and you got home, by sacrificing herself. Nothing beats the personality and heart of old American diesel.

[@haroldbenton979]

@@doubleq1223 she was a 62 Emeryville 5x4 with 3 speed rears. We already had an overhaul kit for her at the yard waiting for the end of harvesting to redo her. So when I broke her she got all new parts. New sleeves pistons rings injectors and we even had a new blower for her. She purred like a kitten for a couple weeks afterwards.

[@doubleq1223]

That's so amazing that she was rebuild and put back doing what they're built for! Sounds like it was a beautiful rig! I'm only 20 and these are way behind I was even a thought in someone mind, I've never heard or seen on if these in person.

One thing about Detroit’s are the harder you run them the better they’ll run

[@gravelydon7072]

To have them last way past the factory recommended overhauls, you run them in the 50 to 70% load range. In stationary service they were rated at 7500 hours. We got 14,000+ out of them. If you ran a 12V71TT at full power, it had a factory rated life span of 24 hours at that speed and load.

[@gabrielv.4358]

@@gravelydon7072 wow what? That's some cool info

[@gravelydon7072]

@@gabrielv.4358 Those were mil-spec engines that we got. They would not quote the actual HP they would put out but normal ones in marine use could put out 900HP at 2300RPM. Pushed to war power, these were rated at 2500RPM and had no continuous ratings. And huge injectors. As tank engines, they likely could use 60 gallons per hour in fuel at full power. Ours were rated at max load of 19GPH.

[@gabrielv.4358]

@@gravelydon7072 Thats cool. You said that the 12v71tt had a 24h lifespan. Is this 24h lifespan at full power, or maximum rpm's? Or the peak power is at redline? (Of that specific engine)

[@gravelydon7072]

@@gabrielv.4358 Cramming as much fuel in as possible at 2500 RPM as far as we could tell. DDA would not say why or what on those engines just like on their marine engines with the large injectors. One engine in the group had been tested by the military and had been rebuilt. As these were twin turbocharged with oversized turbos plus the regular blowers were overdriven I would have loved to have seen one on a dyno. They were rebuilt by my employer at the local DDA shop and were turned into regular engines with N70 injectors.

that old screaming demon Detroit sounds better then most of the rap crap singers today

What are you talking about? Are you comparing the sound of a diesel engine to hip hop?

As usual old Detroit Diesel71 will never stop running -just don't play around with the buffer screw that will make the engine running away for sure will only stop running after throw the rod Great video Thanks for shearing Stay safe and God bless You all

I know there are already a million comments on this, but wow! that dude SERIOUSLY looks - and especially sounds - exactly like Jack Black. Also, I love the fact that they had to inform the whole town what they were doing, just so people didn't think the world was coming to end.

[@radioactivelarry]

WOW! 1136 cubic inches of pure screaming, highly excited Detroit Diesel! I used to have a 40' converted bus motor coach and it had a 8V92TT, yes twin turbos! My RV didn't know what a hill was even towing my 30' covered car trailer. Coming down was even better as the Detroit's hold back a little because they are 2 stroke but with the Jake brake I could cruise down the hill like a car. Back in the 70's my friend had a Freightliner cab over with a 12V71TT, a buzzin dozen with twin turbos. That thing was scary fast on the flats and didn't know what a hill was either. Coming down the hill with the Jake's pounding just sounded so cool. One time I was with him and we were getting on the freeway and he pulled around and passed a Peterbuilt like it was standing still, we heard the guy on the CB welling, "hey driver what the hell you got in that fruitliner (that's what some people called a Freightliner) I bet your empty too!" My buddy got on the radio and told him "yea driver, I got a full load of canary's and they're all flying around and making me go fast and I can't stop the truck, don't ya know!" No response, just the normal skip over the CB. I love those Detroit's.

[@brianreed6491]

We had a 6v71 and a 8v71. Both were loud as all get out.

[@radioactivelarry]

@Harry. B. Renner. jr. I must admit i have been passed by a CAT powered 18 wheeler however Allis Chalmers had a couple of trucks running around the country with one of their big horse power engines that no one could keep up with and the Allis Chalmers truck was hauling pallets of sand in the 40 ' van. I don't know what happened to their truck engine division but I don't think they could make a go of it. Detroit, Cummins and CAT kicked their butts.

[@octane613]

I know what you said about if someone wanted it, they'd have got it, but it's still sad to see an engine die this way. She did her best to the bitter end. Take my like, you heartless man

That thing can handle some abuse! Zero valve float at max RPM. Sick. That full send was cleaning it out and killing it at the same time. Theres no turning back after you jump off the bridge.

[@adamtucker9305]

Pretty hard to float valves on a two stroke.
