99 FL60 mutt/conversion/repower project build

[malibu795]

Last ship I was on had a GM 645-v12.. 7740ci displacement...had dual air starters.. 100gl tank at 3000psi reduced to 150psi
1.5" supply hoses to each of the starters

What kind of pressure and volume do the air storage takes run at for those engines?

I used to work on a bus that had an air starter. I think it was maybe 30 gallons at 125 psi if im not mistaken. Only got two tries to start before running out of air

I don’t recall the volume through the starter but it’s a 250gal tank with a 2” feed line. Max pressure is about 130psi. Only takes the tank down about 20psi or so to start when it’s warm. The 2 stroke windmills pretty easy. Likes the ether when it’s cold though lol.

#4 piston had a meltdown and came apart

Sorry to read about this.

I know some people keep spare engines and trans for their trucks.

If you could find a cheap engine and build it up over time it might pay off in the long run as you would have a spare just in case something like this happens in the future. Although with a spare engine there is not a lot of drive to build it.

Can you get mahle monotherms for that engine?

Only thing I can really find is CPLs
450hp 6cta marine Is 8089
500-600 QSC8.3 marine is 0906 which isn't listed in the link....

got to be running long enough to build up disposable income like that...new 6cta long block is 9000.00 easy

Are those Cummins numbers?

 

[malibu795]

Are those Cummins numbers?

Yes Joe

 

[jlawles2]

WOW. Looks like the piston and head were kissing on the up stroke.
What model engine is that? I know some people that keep an eye out for cheap stuff like that.

 

[lutzjk913]

Yes Joe

Do you have a line on where to get Cummins stuff?

 

[malibu795]

I've got numbers... See who has what tomorrow...

 

[six5creed]

I've got numbers... See who has what tomorrow...

Gootness! Any idea what caused it?

 

[1FastBrick]

Guessing its gonna need a liner?

Did the rod bearing and crank journal look ok?

 

[2004LB7]

Is the head salvageable?

 

[malibu795]

According to the ESN.. Engine serial number I'm supposed to have 12 piston oil cooling jets... The number on the block I have doesn't match what's on the ESN build sheet.. and it doesn't have any piston cooling jets.. my gues previous owner cooked the original block and put this one in with the OEM parts off the old block.
Bearings look good

 

[2004LB7]

I'm guessing one of kidturbo's built engines is looking pretty good right now...
