Finally getting that engine dialled in and I can see the attraction. Without a diesel mechanic with the knowledge on these motors you would be stuffed getting anyone else to conquer them. Amazes me these engines may not have the best by modern standards emissions but the ability to rebuild virtually everything and recondition the motor many times saves the planet a lot of CO2 in production of a new one. Proof the American's had there metallurgy dialled in many years ago and something the Chinese will never work out.

You would not be using the check valve function of the valve only the low pressure spring function to keep the return line primed. Available from stauff in a number of pop off pressures.

It's my understanding that those check valves are only useful in the inlet side as the return line is draining back in the same direction the fuel normally flows therefore the one way valve won't help like the inlet where it drains backwards.

@@DangarMarine nah mate, it goes on the drain side, prevents the inlet side from draining back. Keeping the inlet side full of fuel so the engine will start easily. Look into it if you don't want to take my word for it. Also provides for the proper fuel restriction. Your not pullig air from the inlet side(unless you have loose fittings or are out of fuel), your pulling it from the drain side.

Great video as always! I may have missed it but was the hard starting the main reason for the smaller injectors? We always ran N60's in all of our Detroits. We had three Inline 6-71 for Generators and one V8-71 to power our Tow Winch on our Large Sea Going Tug which was married to a 240,000 barrel Oil Barge with an InterCon Coupling System so we would be connected to the Barge at all times at sea. We also had a pair of EMD 16-645-E2's for Main Engines each rated for 3000 hp (approx). The EMD's are more or less a Detroit on Steroids. The EMD's had Turbochargers instead of a Roots Blower.

The change was mostly because Renko isn't under enough load. It was set up for pulling fishing nets and now just putts around the river.

Hmm, "E2" indicated roots engines, "E7" was the common turbo version. And for those wondering, the turbos have a one way clutch to mechanically spin then for scavenging at start up and low speeds.

@@newjerseybill3521 Good Catch, my old brain must have been a little foggy when I typed that. They were F7B's but I got rid of the "Econo" Injectors that they came out with that were supposed to save so much fuel but did nothing on the kind.
