Had 2 of those things in a 50ft boat I used to drive in the mid 90s. "Magnum 50 Bestia". They were rated at 1350 HP each. Used to love starting them up. Fun getting it up on the plane. Black smoke and trimming the the drives and flaps to get her up. Good times.

You should consider making a super jumpstart cart. Use a couple of those really big batteries on a cart with some tires big enough to roll across the gravel areas. Put a battery charger on it that when not in use you can plug it in and it’s always ready. Think of using a couple of long welding leads that have battery terminals on the cart end so they make really good connections. Use big jumper clamps on the other end. While jump packs are usually good for cars they really don’t have it for heavy equipment. You spend more time looking for good batteries than it would take to get setup with a starting cart. You could even add some cup holders for either cans. Drop me a note if you want me to show you what I’m talking about.

For more extended running, the seals in the water pump will appreciate the lube properties of coolant. Water doesn't lubricate very well. Looks like a good setup and reasonably safe too!

Im with you on all the guys I see not putting any water in a valuable engine and kudo s to you for making sure it had good fuel pressure and it fired right up like it should. It really aggravates me to see people crank and crank until they have the starter practically smoking. I see youve been taught pretty well. Bill

A thin zip blade in a grinder is the best way to cut any plastic pipes... it's like a knife going through butter, you get a super clean and straight cut, and the pipe doesn't shake around so you can easily cut it with one hand on the pipe so it only takes 1 guy. 10X better than any hacksaw or sawsall. Putting glue on the outside of the joint is as useful as a politician.

We ran 3412's powering IR 1050 cfm - 350 psi compressors tied into large volume boosters packs on our oil and gas air drilling operations. Noise levels were extreme to say the least.

I hope you got in to the same habit I have with thermostats. I usually test them in hot water to see if they open at the correct temperature, but my wife caught me on the last one to remind me about testing it. It tested ok but I have had them bad out of the box. Love those Cats! Drove a KW Aerodyne with a 3408 that was great in the mountains.

One the top tube from turbo would go to the top of the radiator! The lower line goes to the drain valve at the bottom of radiator! The top line would carry any air that may have got in the system to the top of radiator.

Coolant's only function in a wet liner diesel engine is to cool. It is not a vibration dampener in any practical sense. I believe you were trying to explain the process of cavitation, but your understanding of it is thoroughly wrong. Cavitation physically cannot occur without the presence of coolant (or water, which is much worse from a cavitation standpoint) around the liner.

That thing sounded great when it fired up! Kind of surprised that you don't put hoses on the exhaust to run under the doors and vent outside since you do run a few engines inside from time to time 🙂

Omg what a bunch of lucky amatur. Just open the barrel and make an outlet in the bottom so that the engine can take on itself , at the top the water will go back to the barrel.
