Diesel Engine Choice?
"jps" wrote in message ... In article , says... On Thu, 13 Apr 2006 20:20:52 -0700 in rec.boats, jps penned the following thoughts: IMHO... 4-cycle, Natural, steel, Piston sleeves Thanks Gene. Which brand? I don't think Cats have sleeves, Cummins are aluminum, Perkins? I know Hino's have sleeves. Any faves? jps At least some of the Volvo's have sleeves. Mine does, but are turbo'd six cylinders. But, a naturally aspirated small diesel is likely to last a long, long time. Replaceable sleeves may not be all that important. At 6000+ hours the original Ford Lehman in my wife's Grand Banks is just broken in according to Bob Smith of American Diesel Corp. RCE |
