Buck Diesel - 6 Cylinder - Single Cylinder Replaced - Under 8 Minutes

This video shows how easy the Buck Marine Diesel Engine is to work on. We take a single cylinder completely apart and put it back together. The cylinder head, cylinder jug (including a sleeve), the piston, the connecting rod, and rod bearings are all changed from the top of the engine in under 10 minutes. We don't ever drain the oil. Plus, as soon as the cylinder is completely back together we start the engine right up! This is just one of the many innovations this engine has to offer. Check us out at www.buckdiesel.com

I didnt see any gaskets between the "heads" but i did see ports. What seals the space between the heads and i only saw Vertical bolts (4) holding the head to the block but i didnt see any Horizontal bolts between the heads. I have another question about the rod cap but i'll save that one for another time.lol Thanks for sharing this video.

@Hollrobb There isn't a need for any horizontal bolts between the heads. They are held together by the vertical bolts that screw into the iron "carrier" and horizontal bolts through the intake and exhaust manifolds. They are in turn sealed with copper ring gaskets on the exhaust port and under the head where compression takes place. The coolant flow is sealed by o-rings. Keep in mind each cylinder is modular and independent of the others.

Now that is some thoughtful and clever engineering. Is it a two stroke or four? The cylinder not needing a ring compressor is ingenious.- an almost painfully obvious idea that should have been implemented a long time ago - I was wondering what method is employed to negate the need to adjust valves--- is it an auto lash adjuster?? Is the whole engine this easy to service-??

Looks like it would be a smart man that decided to back this design, theres some great engineering ideas heere.

[BuckDieselPower]

Four stroke. We haven't negated the need to adjust the valves. In this presentation we were using the exact same head and valves as before so there was no need for adjustment. In the field, if you replaced old parts with new ones, you would need to adjust the valves before starting the engine again. And, yes, this whole engine is that easy to service.

[Strotkyle]

are those special types of tools that allow you to know when you use the right amount of torque?

[BuckDieselPower]

Just a torque wrench.

reminds me of the emd 567,645 and 710 engines in the modular cylinders etc.

whats the spec of the engine? capacity and power etc?

[tpvalley]

@walkingfreak

it will require more material to replace one cylinder as the cylinders are modular.

[walkingfreak]

That is a very genious design. Who ever thought of this engine reduced the cost of material to replace a single cylinder and all that.

[billalbion]

I must say i am impressed with the thought and design of this engine which will greatly reduce costs.

I wish you the best of luck with your venture.

Yes, the other fellow that answered you didn't pick up on the 1:55 earlier. Did you visit our web site to find the video or did you find it first on You Tube?

[Hollrobb]

Now that wasnt so hard was it,lol. Thanks for the answer.

[kmb1949]

What you see are brass freeze plugs or expansion plugs. These holes are used in the casting process and where the sand cores are washed out to create the water jackets. The smaller holes are the tapped holes I was speaking of.

[Hollrobb]

If you stop the video at 1:55 and look at the head as the fella is lifting it up, just below his thumb there are 2 large holes and 2 small ones , the large holes is what i am asking about, what is that for ? coolent i would guess because when looking down into the motor with the head.sleev removed i see matching ports/holes on the ajoining heads. I see NO seals or gaskets just smooth shiny metal.

[kmb1949]

Continued testing of the engine has validated the designs sufficiently to move forward with the project. We will manufacture a 3,4 and 6 cylinder engine. We are currently raising capital to perform field testing of approximately 50 engines and to begin limited production. If you have an interest in supporting our project please call us at 252 215 1252 and ask for Mike.

[kmb1949]

I think that the ports on the side of the heads that you are seeing are actually bolt holes. These female threads are there to install mounting brackets on the front and rear heads for accessories.
