@Ibringthetruth1 Because this engine does not have glow plugs you can use starter fluid, but it is never good to use it. When you use starter fluid the engine is no longer timed because the injectors time diesel motors, also you can over rev it very easy.
There is no mount for a starter to be bolted to because there is no transmission assembly bolted up to the engine so they improvised and used a common wheel rim bolted to the flywheel to wrap the pull around to get it started.
no no no if you wont power go with a 4.9L 300ci inline 6 25-30 mpg to. but if you wont power and speed go ford 460ci big block i like the 300 cus you cant kill it with any thing i have the same one last me 4 trucks
what the heck you been smokin?!? sorry bub but I never saw a 300 inline 6 that got 25mpg, much less 30mpg. with factory size tires and 3.55 gears my EFI 300 would get a consistent 16.5, and about 15 with 33 inch tires
@dondondonman OR i ve seen people remove one piston, ( if it threw a rod) and run them on 5 cylinders. the inline engines, are great. they last for ages i know of one right now wiht 416k ( miles) engine runs fine. although it smokes a tad now)
i heard that in korea the guys would poke a stick in the oil before start up and it was like taffy. sometimes they woiuld light a fire under the pan to give it a head start
@Bman0229 My bet would be as a generator engine, tank engine, maybe some kind of equipment engine. I can't think of maybe but one older aircraft that used a diesel engine, especially a radial.
Two of these are at the Vista Gas and steam engine museum, all the way back on the hill where you can barely see them, I plan on overhauling at least one as soon as I get a working forklift.
They tell me there is one on display at a wrecking yard in Fresno, Calif. I've been meaning to go see it, but I heard they had a big fire recently..I hope the engine is still there.
Yeah, the T-1020 was actually a diesel aircraft engine (there were a few of those made!). I don't know that it was ever successful in a plane (it WAS flown in a Stinson Reliant, 1940), but it was used as a tank engine in M1,2, and 3's in WWII. Supposedly it was de-tuned to about 245HP in that form; I don't know whether the rest of it was changed to make it cheaper and heavier (i.e. Merlin to Meteor), but I would hazard that this is an aircraft version, and it would work in a plane.
Yup, you could put it in a truck. If it can power a 20,000lb tank, it should hande a truck okay. It won't be FAST, and it's gotta be geared down some, but it can be done. Look up "Radial Engined Car"; this German dude stuffed a radial in the back of a tiny little car, only he made the mounts, frame, tranny, etc. from SCRATCH. Very skilled guy. Anyway, this engine in a 1-ton or bigger with the right gears would do the trick. Get up early on cold mornings! You'll need a few hours to start her up!
Thats awesome!! Ive heard of diesel radial engines before, but never seen one or even a vid of one. It sounds great. Could you fit a easy starting system on there? Like an air starter or heavy duty electric one? Does it have any heat based starting aid like glow plus, grid heaters, intake heaters? Whats the compression ratio?
I, too, knew that they existed, but had never seen one, or a video of one, before. Packard (US) and Bristol (UK) also designed radial Diesels, but they never got past the prototype stage.
I think the powerfullest radial diesel aircraft engine was the Clerget 14F ,740hp , 940hp in emergency (during the certification tests, the engine hold 2hours emergency power at overspeed!) built in 1939, but the war stops the production.
Cleget (France) produce diesel radial sinze 1932 to reduce the fire danger
Most of the radials used in Shermans were a Continental GASOLINE engine. The only diesel radial ever found in a Sherman was in the M4A6 version which was a Caterpillar D200A. Shermans never used this engine. But, surely you knew that.
this is what the soviets used as a replacement to the R975 continental.we have several gubes in some old soviet tanks were remodeling at a museum in cali.
Hahahaha this cracks me up this just goes to show that you can rope start any engine other than a Briggs and Stratton or any small lawnmower engine basically, yes you can even rope start a radial engine, WITH A TRUCK! LOL
Now that you mention it, I wonder: How DID they start those big radials in a tank? I'd guess a BIG electric starter. Either that or comressed air. I've never heard of air on a tank, but it's certainly possible. They use it in big trucks, and tanks need brakes too. Did they have air-brakes, or what? I doubt that they used a Coffman starter; the reason they use them in planes is because an electric starter is too heavy, and it's too difficult to haul a air-comressor around to start the engines.
radial engine has the cylinders arranged around the crank so often will have 1 crank journal for all 9 cylinders for example all con rods conect to same spot - more or less.
Honda = better than Ford or GM (since the 70's at least). I didn't bother to say it to the other guy, but maybe the REAL "fags" are the ones who need to have a big old gas-guzzling V8 to prove that they're "real men". Seriously, "cool" is a relative thing, but I've seen some nice fucking rice-burners. Again, it's the retards who drive them that bother me; Honda makes some excellent (and FAST) machines. The American auto industry has been slipping for a long while. Maybe we should change that.
Oh, I doubt that. I'd love a ride in a 9 second Camaro, but I can have a lot of fun in a fucking Geo Metro! LOL, if it's a vehicle, I'm IN. Fast in a straight line is great, but I couldn't give up little cars, all nimble and light. Maybe it's because I live in VT; there are no straight roads around here! The whole state is mountains, and a muscle car would be a bear to drive on these roads. I can't say a Honda is my FIRST choice, but neither is a Camaro. I guess drag racing was never my "thing".
Haha just because a vehicle is light does not make it nimble. that only a small part of it . if you like curvy lines buy a BMW like me. i have both cars. although a muscle car is no rally car set up right it would surprise you
Yeah, I'm a fan of BMW's myself, but I'm too damn poor. I guess lightweights are just my preference; I always root for the underdog! LOL. But generally, a light car is more responsive (and much less thirsty). I'd really love to drive an old English sports car someday. They ain't perfect, but manual steering and everything? good times! I won't argue AGAINST muscle cars, but I think some people don't give small cars the credit they deserve. I like ALL cars (trucks too...anything with an engine!).
@TestECull ride in any american muscle car and you'll leave your hondas.. ill take ya for a ride in my 99 cobra and that'll change ur mind.. i corner just fine
@xmodrock The NSX will easily outrun your '99 Cobra. There's two problems with a '99 Cobra. 1: It's a fucking fatass car. It weighs about twice as much as it needs to. 2: It has a pickup truck axle in the back. This makes it very skittish on exit and negatively effects braking stability. Feed it more than 350-400 WHP and it becomes positively uncontrollable in the corners, feed it any less and it barely moves.
@TestECull umm actually it has IRS, and it only weighs in at 3000 pounds flat? so its really a light weight car for a mustang.. and with the right tires it will keep up just fine
@xmodrock Oh, so it's one of the few Mustangs ford built properly, and thusly one of the few I would actually want to own, before the purists started bitching about it not having a truck axle in the back?
Well then it might actually be an interesting race then. May even be up to individual ham-fistedness as to which car comes out on top. The IRS Mustangs actually handle quite good. It's a shame the purists ruined it....
@TestECull actually its a 1999 from way back in the day... and if you saw the kelly blue book reviews you'd know the new ones with a 9" truck axel don't behave like they have one.. they behve like they have IRS
@skythegeek Having an iron origami holding every wheel on isn't necessary for basic transport. A beam axle with two leaf springs will work for the average driver's needs. Sure if you want a car that handles good a truck axle isn't ideal, but for the average joe who wouldn't know an apex if you hit him with one, a leaf spring live axle setup is more than sufficient.
High tech does not automatically mean better. When will you douchenozzles figure that out?
A well made Independent suspension should last just as long. Problem is most are not. I have a 97 Mazda Miata Its been driven hard every day I have owned it, now has 207K on it.. never had a ball joint, tie rod, or control arm bushing replaced. Granted its a light car at 2600lbs, but as I said.. I hit ever corner hard, and do it regularly. Solid axles can be done right too though. Mazda had a nice setup on the 1st Gen RX7's. I hear the new Stang handles well too with its live axle.
@kens97sto171 The new Stang is pretty good but if you make just one mistake with the throttle the back end starts pitterpattering all over the damn place. Once it starts doing that you had best be good at rally or drift, 'cause otherwise it's going around.
v8 yank engines are basic, low tech crap that suit redneck fuckers with no mechanical flair like you perfectly...Thirsty, ineffecient and out of date, that's the american way!!
Whatever you say, dude. "Fast and Furious" cars annoy the shit out of me, but some of the fastest cars and coolest trucks are not only 4-cyls, but ricers to boot. Japs have been making better cars than us since the 70's. Don't blame the cars, blame the idiots who drive them. There are other ways to drive a car than in a straight line, and many V8 machines would eat dust anywhere but the drag strip. I like ANYTHING with an engine, but if I had only 1 car, I'd choose a 4-banger over a thirsty V8.
Aww, screw you (not to be rude...). Anyone who likes engines will appreciate one whether it's got 4 cylinders or 8. The only problem I have with Hondas, etc, is the stupid shit people deck them out with. Too bad so many Honda drivers like to "Fast and Furious" their cars. Other than that, Hondas are excellent cars. They wanna look like idiots, they can go ahead. There are 4-cyls out there that are miracles of engineering. Lancia Delta S4: 0-60 in 2.5sec. It's MORE impressive since it only has 4.
@ceetwarrior ya ok, but they get better gas mileage and they are fast enough compared to a heavy v8 car. I agree that ricers suck with the farty exhaust. Gimme a turbo civic that's quiet please.
You don't know what a radial engine is!? Wikipedia, my friend, Wikipedia. A cold start means that the engine isn't warmed up yet. A REALLY cold start, in cold weather is hard, 'cause cold oil stiffens. A cold engine is harder to start, particularly diesels, since they are compression-ignition. You don't speak English as a first language, do you? OR you don't really build engines. And fuck what anyone else says, anyone who REALLY likes engines can appreciate one whether it's got 4-cyl or 8.
HAHA, redneck starter!

It weighs about twice as much as it needs to. 2: It has a pickup truck axle in the back. This makes it very skittish on exit and negatively effects braking stability. Feed it more than 350-400 WHP and it becomes positively uncontrollable in the corners, feed it any less and it barely moves.

@TestECull umm actually it has IRS, and it only weighs in at 3000 pounds flat? so its really a light weight car for a mustang.. and with the right tires it will keep up just fine

@xmodrock Oh, so it's one of the few Mustangs ford built properly, and thusly one of the few I would actually want to own, before the purists started bitching about it not having a truck axle in the back?
Well then it might actually be an interesting race then. May even be up to individual ham-fistedness as to which car comes out on top. The IRS Mustangs actually handle quite good. It's a shame the purists ruined it....

@TestECull actually its a 1999 from way back in the day... and if you saw the kelly blue book reviews you'd know the new ones with a 9" truck axel don't behave like they have one.. they behve like they have IRS

@shadowhunter45s Two words mate, LEAF SPRINGS! Fuck American cars man, you're all still living in the bloody stone age.

@skythegeek Having an iron origami holding every wheel on isn't necessary for basic transport. A beam axle with two leaf springs will work for the average driver's needs. Sure if you want a car that handles good a truck axle isn't ideal, but for the average joe who wouldn't know an apex if you hit him with one, a leaf spring live axle setup is more than sufficient.
High tech does not automatically mean better. When will you douchenozzles figure that out?

A well made Independent suspension should last just as long. Problem is most are not. I have a 97 Mazda Miata Its been driven hard every day I have owned it, now has 207K on it.. never had a ball joint, tie rod, or control arm bushing replaced. Granted its a light car at 2600lbs, but as I said.. I hit ever corner hard, and do it regularly. Solid axles can be done right too though. Mazda had a nice setup on the 1st Gen RX7's. I hear the new Stang handles well too with its live axle.

@kens97sto171 The new Stang is pretty good but if you make just one mistake with the throttle the back end starts pitterpattering all over the damn place. Once it starts doing that you had best be good at rally or drift, 'cause otherwise it's going around.

v8 yank engines are basic, low tech crap that suit redneck fuckers with no mechanical flair like you perfectly...Thirsty, ineffecient and out of date, that's the american way!!

Whatever you say, dude. "Fast and Furious" cars annoy the shit out of me, but some of the fastest cars and coolest trucks are not only 4-cyls, but ricers to boot. Japs have been making better cars than us since the 70's. Don't blame the cars, blame the idiots who drive them. There are other ways to drive a car than in a straight line, and many V8 machines would eat dust anywhere but the drag strip. I like ANYTHING with an engine, but if I had only 1 car, I'd choose a 4-banger over a thirsty V8.

Aww, screw you (not to be rude...). Anyone who likes engines will appreciate one whether it's got 4 cylinders or 8. The only problem I have with Hondas, etc, is the stupid shit people deck them out with. Too bad so many Honda drivers like to "Fast and Furious" their cars. Other than that, Hondas are excellent cars. They wanna look like idiots, they can go ahead. There are 4-cyls out there that are miracles of engineering. Lancia Delta S4: 0-60 in 2.5sec. It's MORE impressive since it only has 4.

@ceetwarrior ya ok, but they get better gas mileage and they are fast enough compared to a heavy v8 car. I agree that ricers suck with the farty exhaust. Gimme a turbo civic that's quiet please.

don't know how you would have a V8 seeing as red necks can't learn too good.

You don't know what a radial engine is!? Wikipedia, my friend, Wikipedia. A cold start means that the engine isn't warmed up yet. A REALLY cold start, in cold weather is hard, 'cause cold oil stiffens. A cold engine is harder to start, particularly diesels, since they are compression-ignition. You don't speak English as a first language, do you? OR you don't really build engines. And fuck what anyone else says, anyone who REALLY likes engines can appreciate one whether it's got 4-cyl or 8.
