With no water I would never run any engine for more than 60 seconds. I would probably stop at no more than 30 seconds since I tend to treat my machines with care. I sure wouldn't run it 3+ minutes and rev it like that unless I intended to destroy it.
Even a short run without water is bad for the Engine. The cylinder sleeve gets hot really fast and tries to expand in the cylinder block. That creates big forces which can crack the block or the cylinders.
Most folks would likely make fun, but I would much rather have a good 'ol N/A IDI 6.9 than a Cummins 6BT, even here at '6000ft altitude. Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Any idea what will (or did) become of this engine after they completed the rebuild?
I see. That's actually kind of cool, keeps a bit of diesel history alive. 'Probably a good motor to start out on since there isn't a whole lot to replace or to go wrong on an old mechanical IDI like this one.
@CorvusCasull yeah the only bit of complicated stuff on it is the injection pump, no computers, electronic injectors, miles of wires, thousands of sensors, not even a turbo on this one.
i want one of these so bad.. i love these engines.. may not be real big on power.. but they are cool
