  • what cc is it?

  • It is 71 cubic inches. At 16.387 cc per cubic inch it calculates out to 1163.477 cc or 1.163 liters.

  • @SmartPlugs 1 liter = 61.0237441 cubic inches

  • @BBAHUNTER

    I think that if you divide 71 cubic inches by 61.0237441 cubic inches per liter, you get 1.163 liters.

  • @SmartPlugs I think 71 CI is a shortened description. I think it was actually 1147cc. 4.25" bore 5" stroke.

  • @BBAHUNTER i agree - 71 cubes is a rounded number for marketing purposes. I should have used the bore stroke displaced volume to get an accurate number like you did. It is only off by 16 cc.

  • That ia amazing!: Im not sure ive ever seen a diesel powered genset this old and from GM no less....cool to see though :)

  • @ginomaxo thanks for insight i the screamin jimmy's! and they shut down my favorite little water truck with the 8v Screamer..i did put up my walkaround on it, but unfortunately, the sound disappeared somewhere in the upload...

  • it means MTU , its not a 'real' detroit 2 stroke as they are a european engine that aquired DD a few years ago ( or it may have been vice versa)

    its a shame as i love the old bird scarers
